Ichiki

Really great place to go out with your family or friends! Absolutely love their sushi and how fast their service is! Super fresh and delicious! This is our go to place for all you can eat sushi. Everything is great but some of their staffs are really rude specially during the last hour before closing, other than that it’s a great place.

Food was good, little on the pricy side. Wasn't too happy about "all-you-can-it" as the only option available. Maybe because it was Mother's day weekend. Overall good service, could work on cleanliness a little more. One of the orders had to be placed again as they somehow missed it. Busy place.

Looking for a top-notch AYCE in Vaughan? Well, look no further than ICHIKI. In case you'd like more than Japanese, it has Thai too. If you'd like to order at your own pace, they use tablet menus. And if you wish orders would all show up at your table, I'd say come here for a pleasant meal experience. We were more than happy to try their less common AYCE items such as the refreshing beef & butterfish tataki with ponzu sauce, and the smoky beef torched sushi. Their sashimi tasted fresh and pieces were cut in good size portions. Hot takoyaki balls, crispy coconut shrimps and satay chicken skewers were all on point so we got a second serving. Their grilled squid was fairly tender and flavorful too. Other typical items were on the menu, and we couldn't resist the desserts such as fried milk even after a full meal. Good thing we made a reservation because it was completely packed! Once seated, our service was attentive and expeditious in this modern looking restaurant. We didn't wait more than a few minutes before our dishes started to arrive steadily. It's true they charge a few bucks more than usual AYCE but we felt the meal was well worth it. ICHIKI offers decent Japanese & Thai fare. So how did a star go missing in this review? Our sushi rolls were a little sloppy but hopefully this was just an off-night. There were plenty of more exciting items to avoid filling ourselves on rice in rolls!

Decided to have a la carte instead of the usual all you can eat. Food is prepared differently, but not as many selection when compared to all you can eat menu. Bit on the pricey side, but the food is fresh. Nice atmosphere and places for large groups.

The place was full for dinner and seems popular with people, none-the-less we got a seat right away. I liked the idea of Japanese and Thai AYCE, however we ordered mostly the more Japanese dishes. The Thai dishes looked fine, just looked a bit filling if you’re trying to sample the menu. The sushi and sashimi were great and the meat items were just as good. The service was quick and we got our orders quicker than most AYCE places. It is a bit pricey when you compare it to others so eat by value to get your money’s worth.

My review is based on takeout. Service was quick. Had the Golden Spicy Salmon Roll and the Maki combo. Food was good and reasonably priced. The soy sauce was unusually salty.

Where do I begin… Ichiki has been my go to sushi spot for all you can eat since my family and I discovered it about 4 years ago. It remains our favourite spot EVER and has yet to be beaten… It’s a bit pricey, but the most you’ll end up paying is $42.93 tax included for a regular weekend dinner price at most, & lunch prices are even cheaper, although you get less menu options. It is definitely worth the price. I usually get my money’s worth through eating about 35 pieces of sashimi alone not including all the sushi I eat, etc.! They never shrink portion sizes either, what you order is what you get, so they don’t really seem to try and cheat you out by giving you smaller and smaller portions as some other places do. The food is always amazing quality, the portions are large, and the service is usually very fast! I have brought friends and family here, all of whom have returned to Ichiki as repeat customers multiple times — even sometimes without me present! Unashamedly, I have been multiple times in the past two months, and I crave it almost everyday. My favourite roll is the firework roll: it’s like a warm, spicy huh for your mouth! The sashimi is always of excellent quality, buttery and melt-in-your-mouth with excellent fresh flavours even on busy nights like a Saturday!. It is my favourite place to eat after a heavy lifting day in the gym. Not pictured: Ichiki’s iconic short ribs. If you go, you *must* try them. They are a staple for anyone’s all you can eat experience! The first time my brother and I had Ichiki, we each had about 25 short ribs! The rice is also amazing, I can’t describe how moist ? yet chewy it is. Like proper fried rice, since I know some places especially takeout places tend to have very dry fried rice. There are 5 options of rice: plain Japanese, chicken, beef, shrimp, and pineapple fried rice. I recommend all, but especially the chicken fried rice! Again, great portion sizes and *actual* chunks of chicken, not dry or too tiny. As you can see, I can go on and on about this place. But don’t listen to me, try it out for yourself! ;

Not authentic Japanese cuisine. Food feels cheap, but at a high price. Ordered Pad Thai to start. Plate was completely saturated in sauce. No peanuts added, when asked server said they do not have such luxury. Tried Ramen but had a strange odor and cheap instant noodles. Finally got a sushi plate. Sushi was OK at best, but not what you'd expect from a place at this rating. Seems like this place used to be good pre pandemic but the new ownership is a sinking ship. Spend your hard earned dollars somewhere else.

Sunday 8 pm 40 dollars per person. I enjoyed the food. Service was fast. Clean environment. The menu had great choices. Do not have the deep fried milk. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options Parking: Small parking lot out front but plenty near by. Dietary restrictions: They do ask prior to ordering if you have food allergies

I'm sure this place has it's good days. I mean, I came BECAUSE of the great reviews. Had a table of 6. The waitress came over our shoulder to press the send order button! We still hadn't gone through the sweep of the order to make sure our first order was what everyone wanted to start off with. WELL, when we get things no one wanted, double things we didn't order.. the waitress tells us we shouldn't order so much then. Well, we weren't gonna until you sent the order for us literally while we were ordering. The food was delicious and came out quickly, they kept us topped up with napkins, we were able to finish a glass of water without being asked a million times to refill it but never had empty cups.
