This is a place that I go to when I want to chow down on sashimi, with an emphasis on quantity not quality.

Ambiance: Not much to comment on their decor - typical Chinese owned Japanese place.

Service: The food comes very quickly - a lot of the times, I find myself having to re-arrange everything for the server so all the plates will fit. The servers themselves are not that pleasant, as they take your order without acknowledgement, then plop your food down. It's usually just apathy, but I have had waitresses that look downright pissed at having to do their job.

Value: There are varying levels of what menu you and your (WHOLE) table can order from - I always get the most expensive, which is $30 per person. This allows you the most options, like geoduck, hamachi and fresh oysters. You can bump it down to $23 for a wide menu as well, that has most of the bells and whistles. The cheapest is about $14, though unlike the former two, that menu does not contain unlimited sashimi, which is what I think makes this place worth the higher price tag.

Food: For AYCE, the quality is actually pretty good, and consistent. I mean, sometimes you can taste some residual defrosting of the sashimi, but I can deal with that. They have more varieties of sashimi than most AYCE places I have been to, like wild salmon (the lean red kind, compared to the marbled orange one), red snapper, and sea bream. They have tasty beef tataki that comes with some mashed pickled plum, and great unagi on rice. Their deep fried items are surprisingly good too - chicken wings, squid and tofu have all come out crisp and hot, though shrimp tempura is usually pre-made and soggy by the time it hits the table. They have grilled food like squid, steak, short ribs and salmon cheeks, so it isn't just raw stuff. I would stay away from sushi rolls though. Aside from being filler, they aren't well made. Get urchin, unagi or sweet shrimp nigiri though. They have baked tapioca pudding with black sesame on the bottom for dessert. It's baked in a dish just for you (watch out, it gets hot!), and is way better than their other dessert option, some rather bland mango pudding.

All in all, I enjoy coming here for unlimited sashimi and some decent bites, and variety. A bit of a steep price tag, though if you know how to eat (which is to say a LOT), then you can definitely get your moneys worth.

Three hungry souls met up for some smorgasbord dining recently. We opted for the regular menu over the deluxe but by no means were the choices second rate. All of the usual items are found here and more; we tore through the choices over several rounds.

Dollar wise, you're paying nearly $10 more for something regularly known for its cheap fill, but what a difference in quality. All of our items were made to order, coming hot and quick. No single dish ruled our flavour palettes but the quality paralleled something you find outside the a buffet strip; we ordered many dishes multiple times and the consistency stayed true. The nori used for the cones and rolls were some of the best we've had in memory; a crisp snap without the jaw gnawing.

Service was at a frantic, yet fairly friendly pace. No more than a minute after our order was taken, some hot dishes had already begun to arrive, and came hot. A couple of missing items and slowdowns at the end but otherwise something we didn't expect. Even a few checkups were made when passing by our table.

The space is clean and bright, with lots of stretch room.

Not a particular fan of all-you-can-eat, but this one has me sold.

The only reason why I went to this place is because it's close to work. Anybody who says that it's fresh obviously didn't see the mass of pre-made rolls on the counter which is clearly visible from the area where you pay. The rolls have a tonne of rice and not much flavour. This place is gross and hopefully will go under so that something better will come along.

I had one of the best salmon sashimi here for the all-you-can-eat catagory. Other sashimi was fresh as well. While the regular ayce menu ($20) didn't have some "deluxe" menu ($6 bucks more) items that other ayce places feature, it's still a good enough selection and also offers some unique items such as the flame hawaiian sundae roll. The oyster motoyaki was very good as well. All in all, a solid experience.

I don't expect much when I visit an AYCE. Actually, I try to avoid AYCE at all costs and only go to one if coerced. Last week, I was out vetoed and found myself at Kingsway Sushi, operated by the Top Gun Chinese restaurant group. There was a 20 minute wait and I was surprised to see large parties waiting past 7:30pm. Clientele was diverse, lively, and also very young. Median age: 25. The waitress was prompt and came by several times to take additional orders and to refill on tea. The coolest aspect was the ordering. Servers enter your order directly into a wireless handheld device that connects to the kitchen and within seconds (yes seconds), your first appy is served to you. One major qualm about AYCE, quality is always secondary to speed. In less than 10 minutes, 80% of our order is stacked onto our table and we're on a sprint to consume as quickly as possible to clear room for the next wave of plates. The enjoyment factor diminishes with every non distinguishable bite. The only dish that was memorable was the beef tataki. Not japanesy at all, but nevertheless tasty. Sushi rolls were pre-made and the sashimi's were of lower grade cut. To reiterate, I don't expect high quality food from AYCE so at least this place met my expectations. The service, unlike Sui Sha Ya, was darn efficient and the server did not miss any of our dishes. Value was on par with other AYCE around town ($23 pp) and presents an easy solution for large parties. Bill splitting is always so much easier with AYCEs. Ambiance is fairly clean and modern looking. I didn't check out the washroom so can't comment. Overall, not a bad choice for those impartial to AYCE's. I'm not converted but won't seriously blast this restaurant either.

Saw the positive reviews and finally got a chance to try dinner at this place.

The business seems to be designed around efficiency. They are constantly asking you for more orders, clearing your plates, and bringing food quickly. It is a bit overbearing at times as they are actually hovering waiting for you to take the last piece or asking you to move something to get a plate. But I will give props to the owners for running a tight ship here even if it comes out a bit strange.

Most of the food was "ok", particularly the fried foods and sashimi (they have sockeye salmon). However, you can sense this place is just one premade assembly line. The tempura was a bit cold as I imagine it's been sitting for a bit too long. The sushi was the most dissapointing. It is a bit old and mushy tasting. Some of the ingredients aren't great quality either. I didn't order any more after a few dissapointing rolls.

So the food is not great but I'll say it is what it is for the sake of efficiency.

Comparing this to Fish On Rice down the street, I much prefer the food at Fish On Rice. However, this place is run infinitely better than Fish On Rice is now which has gone really downhill in the service area lately.

For a $26 dinner I expect better quality food and I know I can get a much better sushi meal for that price so I won't return for dinner. However, for a cheaper lunch price this place is probably not too bad a choice for low end food given you should be able to get in and out quickly.

Came here for a quick snack. We ordered regular menu. We had miso soup, spicy tuna roll, salmon sashimi and something else I don't remember. All I remember was we didn't finish the food. I think it's because it didn't taste fresh or taste as good as I thought. I saw other ppl have all you can eat so I guess maybe they're better. But if regular menu is not good, how good can AYCE be?
The service was good, our teas are constantly being refilled but that's about it. I will not come again.

Recommended. Good value for money, especially for lunch. Been there several times. Not the freshest, most authentic Japanese I've ever had, but not bad. I think its run by the same people who do Richmond Sushi and Robson Sushi, as they have the same PDA ordering system.

Food - Pretty good for all you can eat. I always enjoy their dynamite, alaska, and tempura rolls. Edamame for appy and Mango pudding for dessert always rounds out the meal nicely.

Service - Fast and prompt. Especially for lunch, this place is a well oiled machine. Orders taken quickly, food arriving over the next 3 to 4 minutes.

Ambiance - Ikea furniture. Not so authentic for a Japanese restaurant I think. Nice sushi bar though. Always nice to see the chefs working hard.

I have to completely agree with chasiubow's review.
This is a very good place to have good AYCE (and the words "good" and "AYCE" doesn't normally go well together). The place is clean, servers are friendly and the food is good and interesting. I really hope they keep it this way and other AYCE restaurants follow in their example.
Although their menu is not as extensive as some others, they keep their menu offerings exciting and I think that's what makes a difference. The have offerings such as sushi sundaes, deep fried scallops, sole teriyaki, and baked tapioca pudding (order in advance as it comes piping hot straight out of the oven).
My only complaint is their teriyaki sauce - strangely thick and too saucy. Also, their tonkatsu is not your usual.
Servers were very friendly and even though they are very quick in clearing dishes and asking for more orders, I didn't feel rushed at all.
Definitely return for some more "sundae"!

We decided try Kingsway Sushi to try their All You Can Eat Deluxe Dinner and were quite happy with what we got. They take your orders on a electronic order pad and it seems to speed up the process in getting your orders.

We tried a nice selection of options and founds some nice items on the menu. The spicy tuna sashimi was quite tasty, but it really wasn't that spicy. Still it was good. The same could be said of the spicy tofu. They also had something called a salmon cocktail roll, which was quite good as it had a nice smoky taste to it. My mother especially enjoyed the short ribs, which had a nice marinade to it.

It is a bit pricey, but with the selection of sashimi, it made it worthwhile. It was $28.95 for adults and $18.95 for children (4-9). I believe it is a little higher on weekends. I think the price for children was a little high as the lone child at the table did not even eat that much.

Overall, we did enjoy the meal and will be back. It is probably the best option for all you can eat on Kingsway. The other place down the street in Burnaby pales in comparison.
