Makimono

I had great experience at Liverpools Makimoto. The atmosphere was nice. Service was good. They cleared and brought plates in very quicky. Easy to order. Dishes were good. 10/10 Satisfied with dining here.

The offering on the Friday dinner menu was below average and the plates came out looking messy not very appealing. Several items were forgotten or missed or they did not look like they did on the iPad. The food taste was ok but the experience was below average for $48 per person with no drinks and that’s with GST Holiday and 15% tip.

Always an excellent meal! Sometimes items get missed but not this time! Pleasant staff and always a filling, colorful, delicious meal! Wear your leggings and a baggy sweater! lol $27.99 for lunch, folks. I couldn't find this info online, so there you go!

Recently visited. Food quality is the same- but I must say.. the charge for a 2 year old is nonsense. My child at one French fry and 2 chicken wings which she could have had off my plate. Money grab... and the waiter made sure to mention about 3-4 times if my child eats any food she will be charged. Yes it’s $9 , but try starting at 4 year old.. my toddler drinks milk for a snack… $28.99 for all you can eat lunch. $9 for kids 2+ (which I don’t agree with). Always fresh, fast service and friendly service.

I visited this place five days ago. I don’t know why the food made me sick. My stomach still hurts, and I now have diarrhea. I only had a chicken and broccoli dish. I do not recommend this place to anyone .

Great sushi and amazing service! Everything tasted like authentic Japanese food. Definitely coming back! :)

There is a lot of parking available for their guest, and when you enter the restaurant appears to be kept in great condition. You order from an iPad that makes it easy for everyone to choose their own options. The food arrived quickly, (I was here when the restaurant appeared busy) The food quality was amazing!! I was impressed that the food wasn't compromised by the speed of the delivery. Nicole our server was prompt with making sure our table was cleared and our drinks were full. A great place for a dinner for two, or large parties!

6/10 - Nice place! ★ I came here with my grandfather and my sister. The food here was excellent! I’m a sucker for Japanese cuisine, and they have great options on the menu— they just weren’t very expansive. ★ I’ve gotten the Beef Udon Soup as take out from here before, however the broth was a bit bland during my visit. ★ The Lo Mein here is very flavourful! Definitely one of the best I’ve had before. ★ The place had a tranquil atmosphere, and was a nice place for dinner ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ Overall, I’d say everything was great but there wasn’t really anything about it that made it spectacular.

As Makimono continues to grow their presence in the GTA, you can count on good and friendly service with lots of great variety of Japanese and East Asian eats at their Pickering location! There is something for everyone from sashimi to hand rolls to Pad Thai to even Salmon Tataki! The quality and portion size is quite reasonable and it's definitely worth the price of admission!

Solid option for families and large group. A little something for everyone including non Japanese options. None of the dishes were anyting to write home about (fish katsu in Particular was very bland) but would appeal to many different palates including children. Fried rice and wings were solid and husband enjoyed his teriyaki beef. We would return again. Maybe I'll try the sushi next time. Also has an AYCE menu which we may try another time.

I haven't been here in years and decided to try their lunch special bento box today for $15.50. The portion was generous--enough for more than one meal. It included salad, miso soup, shrimp and vegetable tempura, fried tofu, teriyaki salmon with rice, and six California rolls. Great value for the price, and everything tasted delicious! The only downside was that the food was fairly cold and had to be reheated. Otherwise, everything was great.

Makimono has been around in Pickering for several years, relatively close to home, but this is my first time going there. I don't know why it's taken me this long. They offer a variety of Japanese food, including sushi, teriyaki, and even some popular Chinese dishes. They feature an all-you-can-eat menu which includes sushi, in addition to daily lunch specials. I came in for lunch and opted for their Lunch Bento Box 2, which included my choice of teriyaki beef, assorted vegetable and shrimp tempura, California roll, deep fried tofu, miso soup, salad, and rice. For $14.95, this was a great deal, with very generous portions, and very good flavours! I actually ended up taking some of it home. In the past, they've had dining tables set up on a makeshift patio in the parking lot but a major construction project next door makes it quite dusty out there and unsuitable for dining. Their dining room, however, is quite cozy, with adequate seating. I'll definitely be back!

I was trying to stack my ice cream cups and the waiter kept taking them away. Very disappointed in their work.

Loved the food and service. Coolest part was a robot that delivers dessert to your table and sings happy birthday!

Tried out this chain of AYCE sushi restaurants on a weeknight around the holidays. It was $34.99 per adult on a weekday which is a bit steep but I guess inflation is at work. We really enjoyed the selection & quality offered. The price includes pop. You order on an iPad. Food is brought out quickly by the waiters and there are also some robot servers which was a fun touch. Honestly their weekday selection is great and all the food requested was delivered. We usually find with other ayce spots, some stuff is missed. Definitely our go to spot when we want ayce sushi.

We used to go to the Ajax one very often (it's a good one) and somehow we drove passed this one in Pickering, so we went there for lunch. Not a lot of ppl on Tue afternoon and food was served slowly. We had to chase a few times for our sashimi (just sashimi, not sure how much time they needed to prepare). Even for soup, we waited for a long time. The quality of food was bad. After lunch, my husband didn't feel well for his tummy. It's our last time to visit there for sure.

Makimono is a solid AYCE sushi restaurant in Pickering. The atmosphere is great, the service is prompt and it's not too busy on weekday afternoons. They offer the standard AYCE menu, but what sets them apart is their vegetarian options. They have a great Mango Roll, Yam, Tempura Roll and a couple of other great options. They get pretty busy on weekends.

Way overpriced for what you get! The chicken teriyaki was under cooked and still red, luckily I was the only one to eat a piece! The sweet and sour chicken balls were horribly greasy. Pepper beef was good but the beef teriyaki was not even cut fully apart, so strings of gristle and sinew was holding it together. While on the advertisement it said $27.99 per person we were charged $32.99 each. Definitely off of our list of places to go. To add insult to injury, woke up at 2 a.m. puking my guts out!!!!!!!!!!! As I said earlier I was the only one to eat any of the under cooked chicken so no one else had that experience.

Very happy with dinner today. I have been to similar restaurants before. This restaurant is as good as I have experienced before. An incredible variety of offerings. Sushi, maki, sashimi, udon soups, miso soups, teriyaki, tempura, dim sum, etc. Please read the entire menu. My only critique is a few items are frozen and fried. A Japanese restaurant should never have pre-breaded. Japanese restaurants are all about the fresh. Please dont let this sway you. Only a few items are like this. If you have never been to this type of restaurant, all the ordering is done on a tablet. Within a short time, all your selections will be brought to your table. Now while you enjoy your recently ordered food, it is time to order another round. Enjoy. Oh right. The restaurant is very reasonably priced.

The food to price ratio here is excellent and I really appreciate the service since they are accommodating to all group sizes. I had the katsu chicken bento box. I did steal some shrimp tempura from friends as well and that was amazing. The katsu was average but for 15$ during peak hours, u can't complain.

This place was DELICIOUS! The food was fresh, the menu was large and the service was good. Food 4/5 - The food was delicious, the meats were fresh and tasty. The sushi was average but still delicious. The tempura was delicious and the dipping sauce was one of the best I have ever had. Often the tempura sauce is too watery and lacking flavour but this one was very sweet and flavourful. Service 3/5 - The restaurant was busy and so some of our food took a while to come or never came at all. We had to reask for certain dishes because they never came. The sushi took the longest, which is surprising because it is usually the first thing to come out. Our dishes were not quickly taken off our tables like other sushi places I have been to, we would get new food and our server would pass by without picking up the dishes. But, when we wanted to order they were quick to send the order through and good at replenishing our water. Environment 4/5 - The place seemed large, modern and clean. It was busy with people, which is always a good sign.

A very generous rating. We ordered a bottle of wine and they delivered it unopened. This was not a twist top. Had to wait for them to find a waitress that knew how to use a cork screw. We then ordered some starters. The four of us ordered ala carte main dishes. They proceeded to deliver everything at once. We sent back our main dinners. They never made new plates. They just left everything to get cold while we ate our appetizers. I haven't been here in over 5 years. It will be longer then this for the next time. I recommend just not going here. It was a snow storm day. Hardly anyone in the restaurant. You would think they would be happy a few couples showed up.

Definitely one of my favourite AYCE sushi places! Pros: - Friendly staff who are attentive and fast - iPad ordering - Good portions - Food is amazing - Dining area is clean Cons: - After a certain time, you can't order (so don't go late) - Washrooms are DIRTY! - Pretty pricey Overall, I would come back, you can't go wrong with an AYCE sushi place, especially when it's near by, has good service and food!

Makimono is typically my goto for sushi, however as of late their sushi has not been what it used to be. I usually get a salmon hand roll however the salmon was not fresh and quite slimey. This time I ordered the short rib combo and was severely disappointed - the portion size of the amount of ribs and rice for $18.99 was not what I expected. For this cost a larger portion of more than 4 ribs would be fair, won't be ordering their dinner combos again, however will give their sushi a second chance.

Good quality food. Fast service. Most AYCE places give you really small portions of the teriyaki dishes or anything that is not sushi or sashimi. This place also had dim sum and it was decent. Definitely worth coming back

The sushi at this place are made pretty large compared to other AYCE places. Not the best tasting, but their sushi was better than the rest of the menu. Everything else we ordered was over cooked, dry and chewy. We (table of 4) ended up not eating majority of the food and was charged the fee for "wasting food" Most definitely will not be back. AYCE sushi is not cheap, I would not recommend anyone waste their money here.

I booked reservations for my parents anniversary and dads birthday. We opted for buffet but you can also order specific items off a menu. The portion sizes are large when you order off the menu ! So it all depends how much you want to indulge. This sushi restaurant is quick to serve and you can see on the iPad menu when the order is picked up and in process of being made to serve. I did not see this any better or worse than other all you can eat restaurants. The apps were well made, they have tempura deep fried items soups salads veggies and stir fry dishes. They have a large selection is sushi maki and hand rolls. Of course, make sure you finish your meal with some Green tea ice cream and deep fried bananas. My favourite dish was their mushroom and beef rolls. So well made! The sushi is a great temperature as I like my sushi cool and not room temperature. The cuts of salmon were not too small, just a perfect size for dipping. Their dragon roll was excellent, I found their rolls had a bit too much toppings in/on them but they were still excellent tasting - I just personally found too much cream cheese in their philly roll and their crab roll the literally plopped a crap ton on top of sushi? Overall service was great, attentive staff with lack lustre care for life (they work so hard serving 1000's of dishes a night I bet they hate sushi lol) but worth a try for the minimal Options for sushi in the pickering area!

Had the Golden California Roll - loved it! The sauces on top made it taste amazing! We ordered it twice but the second time the presentation was off. Deep Fried Banana was a tad cold and could use some whip creme. We asked for someone and they didn't have any. Really nice setting inside. Would dress nicely to go there - atleast semi-casual.

We're new to Pickering and got takeout here to satisfy a sushi craving I've had for awhile. I have to say, I was thoroughly disappointed. I had the ocean roll, spicy Salmon roll, salmon sashimi and chicken karage. The sashimi was good (good quality, tasted fine). However, the chicken karage literally had no taste. It was served with what my husband referred to as "poor man's ketchup". We switched it up with other sauces we had at home but all it really did was add the flavour of the sauce because the chicken was literally flavorless! I couldn't believe it! The ocean roll was okay.

So we have always enjoyed the food. So this time I placed my order at 5:30 thinking 30-45 and we will have our food. One hour later I decide to call to get an update. They tell me they just noticed the order and it will be another 30 minutes. No offer of a discount or a freebie. This was for a birthday dinner. Not cool.

May not be the best place for Sushi snobs, but I found the sushi here always fresh, flavourful, at the right temperature. The presentation is fantastic as well. Service is average and I don't care as long as the food keeps coming to the table. Never had to wait for a table btw, and I've eaten here too many times to count (not counting the Ajax location). Never opted for anything but AYCE; great value, great choice, and great taste.

I recently moved to Pickering and my family loves sushi, so we decided to give this a try. We came for lunch, and absolutely hated it. We waited for approximately 20 minutes before any server came up to us and get us a table. Several servers walked pass us, made eye contact, and ignored us when we walked in. This already put us in a bad mood because it felt like they did not want to serve us. When we tried to call for a waiter to ask for some napkins or cold water, they would ignore me again. The wait times for the food you order through the iPad is around 20-30 minutes, which is a bummer. The waitress was also hurrying us to eat, and when she assumed that we were done eating, she just handed us the receipt even though we didn't ask for it yet. The food was alright, I really enjoyed the spider sushi roll. However, the customer service was awful. Although my first experience was bad, I decided to give this place another time with my boyfriend. The same thing happened to us. The workers ignored us so many times even though they made eye contacts with us. I know hate is a strong word, but I hate this place. The environment itself is so negative that I can't even enjoy my food. Would definitely not recommend this place to anyone!

My second time coming to Makimono but this time the service was quite slow. Our waitress was quite friendly and it was understandable on a Saturday night it would be difficult to reach her however only half of our order would come at a time. This left us reordering many of the items we placed before multiple times only for them to show up at the third attempt and some never showing up at all. From our first order we were missing the beef sashimi, 5 pieces of shrimp tempura, enoki and spring onion rolls, chicken wings, and a bit more I can't recollect. In a table of 5, by the time "all" our food came, it would all be devoured. I would understand if they minimized the quantity of our order to reduce food waste but they downright cut out items. Between placing an order and the iPad, having waitstaff review the order, and receiving something was about a 20 minute wait and considering we didn't get all the items requested it was pretty frustrating. Food wise they only serve the best quality. I enjoyed their sashimi selection and special rolls which I was able to receive and especially their beef steak teriyaki. One of my favourites here are their pan fried udon in either seafood or beef. Makimono is a little out of the way for myself to get to so I wouldn't choose this AYCE sushi unless I was in the area but I'd be more attentive over their service if I were you.

Came again. Better experience this time. Well, mostly. Had a bit of a issue with our very large reservation (Grandpa's funeral meal for 70 ish people). Service was very slow. Overall, the food was decent. Tempura was quite tasty. Weekend lunch sashimi options include salmon, tilapia/whitefish, and imitation crab. Kinda sad, but at least they do have the salmon. Rolls didn't have too much rice. Everything held together decently. Salmon tataki is a bit of a misnomer. It's salmon tartare on a soda cracker. No torching/searing involved. Chicken yakitori was surprisingly good. Chicken karaage was not bad either. Deep fried custard bun comes with condensed milk and is by far their best dessert. Mango pudding was decent on the real mango taste. Ginger ice cream was a letdown. Not enough ginger. Very much vanilla ice cream with mild ginger hints. Not bad for ayce. Ordering tablet was sticky though. Um...yeah.

Great spot! While on our way to Pickering Town Centre we came across this sushi place. We dined during a weekday lunch where they offered AYCE for $16.99/adult. We were seated right away to a comfortable table. Tables have white paper on them, I'm assuming for easy cleanup. Think Jack Astors minus the crayons. You get your own iPad to order with. I love this method, as you get a clear indication of the portions- kinda. We definitely ordered too much. The maki rolls here are HUUUUUUUGE. Unfortunately they come with 6, not 3 like Tenichi. Better make sure you only order what you really want, because we had a hard time trying to finish all of them. One thing to note was they offered sashimi during lunch which was great. Not much variety, but it's good if you don't want to eat all the rice. Other than that, tempura and teppanyaki plates were great! Really enjoyed the salmon teriyaki. There an extensive menu which offers thai, Chinese, and both udon soup or fried udon. Would like to see if there are other items during their dinner service!

I am not sure what the other Yelp! reviewers ate but I was not impressed. I will admit that half way through the meal I started sneezing and reacting to something in the air. It really killed the mood. We started with a mango salad. What we got was 5 matchstick strips of mango with some purée that was tasteless. Next we ordered some chicken fried rice, pad Thai and spring rolls. The fried rice was a bit greasy. The spring rolls were crispy and tasty. The pad Thai was OK Next we ordered sushi. That too was hit and miss. The crab sushi was really fake crab which didn't impress me at all. I tried the chicken cutlet. Not bad but some of the strips were devoid of chicken. My spouse ordered dessert. Deep fried banana and vanilla ice cream. The portions were generous. So the meal ended on a Happy note. Addendum: no debit or interac here. Unless you wish to use the in house ATM and pay a $3.00 charge

Average AYCE. Nice ambiance. What I do like is that they are easy on the rice in the maki.

We went there on a Saturday evening and after having eaten there I don't understand all the positive reviews about this place. I have tried quite a few other sushi places in different cities and countries and that also included sushi places that were run by real Japanese sushi chefs so I was fortunate enough to try really authentic and delicious sushi. I never had a good opinion about all you can eat places but we still gave it a try for the sake of trying. We had a few of their special rolls, nigiri sushi, sashimi and some of the fried stuff and ice cream/pudding. I personally found their rolls tasteless. It didn't taste like anything and the white fish/butterfish sashimi was kinda chewy and the salmon didn't have much taste either. Also, the sushi rolls were not served as presented in the menu. The tropicana roll with mango sauce on it tasted watery like they had watered down the mango sauce. The fried items were not too bad. Bottom line: The fried stuff may be ok but I wouldn't go there for their sushi. Someone who has tasted real sushi before won't be satisfied with Makimono's sushi. It has no flavour and not even the soy sauce could cover that. I would almost say its lacking passion. On top of it we paid 75$ with tip for two which could have been a decent meal at a good sushi place. I had trouble getting that stuff down the throat. Not sure why this place is still around. Not recommendable.

I was on a date, terrible Service even by my low Covid standards. They mixed your order and took back my girlfriends food. They then blamed us for not telling them, however, they kept dodging our eye contact as we tried to get their attention. !! 0 stars if I could. !!

A group of us came here after work, for a little chill time together. What a great place for a group to go and have some fun and sample just about everything on the menu. Everyone had a great time. We will be back again soon I'm sure. Everyone had a different favorite item. From Rock & Roll Shrimp to Scallops to rice, it was all very good and well presented.

Honestly, I would have given this an easy 5 stars if they had been consistent. Before they moved, they had very good quality food! Loved every bite! but now..... It really hasn't been the best. Food tastes bland, Service is ok but not the best and the price is no longer justified. (All you can eat is a big money grab) I do enjoy the new IPad menu for all you can eat as well as the environment (The new look is very pleasing!), but I'm there for the food and the food just doesn't cut it for me anymore. As an avid sashimi lover, I order lots of salmon sashimi in 1 time. (Around 30 Pieces) Every single time i place an 30 piece order, they ignore me and only give me 5 -10 pieces. Unacceptable. I've been here plenty of times over the past couple years but sadly they no longer gain my approval. I do not recommend this place for sushi. There are plenty of other places nearby which will make you sushi experience a LOT better! Save your money and go to a better place than this chain.

I got the Bento Box 4 which came with salmon teriyaki, 3 gyozas (which are vegetarian dumplings), 2 pieces of salmon sushi, 6 california rolls, rice, and shrimp & veggie tempura. I think all meals also come with miso soup and green salad. The portion sizes were huge and the taste was good in my opinion. I liked the salmon teriyaki and they used the right amount of batter for shrimp tempura. Now for the bad part. At the beginning of our dinner, there were plates laid out in front of my group and I and 3/4 were dirty. When the waiter took them away (realizing we weren't doing AYCE) he took the top one to the kitchen and left the rest to be used for another table without realizing they were also dirty. It took awhile to get just the menus and our drink orders in the beginning, but once we had ordered the food the waiter serving us was prompt and friendly. Taste is okay, portion size is great, service and cleanliness could be better.

We have been here 3 times and this is our second really bad experience here in a row from the all you can eat menu. The establishment was freezing cold, everyone was seated in their jackets. Service was terribly slow, we waited 50 minutes for one item to arrive whereas the average wait time for an item was 20-30 minutes. 2/3 times I've been there I experienced major stomach pains and had to fleet to the establishments (messy) restrooms. It was nice to see a wheelchair accessible bathroom, however inside was a storage unit where tables and chairs were stored so no wheelchair could possibly have access to the bathroom if need be. Terrible terrible place and will not ever be going back (really tried to like it).

I've driven past this location so many times but finally in effort to satisfy my Japanese craving I decided to check this spot out. Upon entering the hostess kindly greets us and escorts us to a spacious table towards the back of the restaurant beside a wall of what resembles giant chopsticks. It's very modern and streamlined looking restaurant and I love that the table is situated along a cozy banquet. The waitress places the menu on the table and I notice she only gives us the AYCE menu. I kindly ask her for the a la carte menu because I prefer getting a Bento Box and she returns with one. ***Make sure you ask for the a la carte option if you don't want the AYCE because I think they just assume everyone is here for that*** To drink I order a green tea which comes out it a cute plastic Asian designed pot. I like that they give me my own pot of tea so I don't have to keep asking for refills. After grazing the menu I settle on the Bento Box D option which includes: -miso soup -salad -2 pcs shrimp tempura -5 pcs vegetable tempura -1 pcs tuna sashimi -2 pcs salmon sushi -3 pcs California roll -3 pcs gyoza -rice -Choice of teriyaki salmon, chicken or beef Love the salad, its served ice cold with that delicious sweet and tangy dressing and the miso soup comes out piping hot and perfect. The sushi and sashimi comes out on a separate plate and is all fresh tasting and nicely portioned. Next comes out the Bento box which is beautifully presented in a large bento box. The tempura and gyoza are perfectly cooked, very crispy and golden brown. For the teriyaki I go with the beef option and it's cooked a nice medium in a delicious glaze. However I did find the cut of the beef to be quite tough. It would have been a flawless meal had the beef they chose been of better quality. Perhaps next time I'll try the teriyaki chicken or salmon. Overall service was really good and attentive, food came out fresh and fast. I would definitely return to try out there other Bentos. The portions here are huge so don't feel obligated to go AYCE ask for the a la carte menu and then decide which route you want go with.

I've recently went on a binge of hitting up AYCE places in Toronto, and this was on my list of "need to try". It was definitely worth it! First I'm going to talk about the ordering experience, then I'm going to get into the specific qualities of the food. Feel free to skip the bulk of the review and read the TL;DR at the bottom if you just want fast details! ------------------------ The ordering experience is unique to this AYCE restaurant in Toronto. In a nutshell, you order off of an iPad, which (presumably) submits the order to the chefs to prepare your dishes and have them delivered to the table, with the order status updating on the iPad from "Submitted" to "Ordered" once it has been acknowledged. While I haven't yet seen another place take advantage of a technology-based ordering platform, it has that cool factor, albeit with much to improve upon. For example, the iPad's "order status" doesn't mention "delivered", or give any kind of status update outside of "ordered" and "submitted". This means that you, the diner, don't know what has and hasn't been delivered, which is a huge pitfall, because then how are you supposed to know (or remember) what you still have outstanding? I'm sure the chefs know, but as the diner, you want to be informed, too! The selection of the food itself, unfortunately, is pretty small. The pictures provided on the menu are the only things you can order, meaning that your variety is set to whatever you're able to see and scroll through. While this definitely makes sense when it comes to availability of food, it doesn't describe anything for the diner - the pictures and the name of the dish are all you get. You can create a "cart" and submit that "cart" to be "ordered", editing at any time before submission, but I feel as if it's a slight to the user that you don't really know what anything is (or looks like, really, since the pictures are really of the "ideal" product that no customer ever receives) until you receive it at your table. -------------------------- Food reviews: The Korean Beef Short Ribs here are some of the best I've had at any AYCE place, ever. The reason I say this is because I've had short ribs at KBBQ restaurants, and while those restaurants quality either on par or better, it should be definitely noted that this place has well-seasoned, great tasting short ribs. The sushi/sashimi quality and variety is fairly decent. It's not Omakase, and shouldn't have that expectation, however it's also not in the realm of Kinkaku Izakaya, and shouldn't be mistaken as such. The slices were decently proportioned and consistent with what you would expect of a sushi and sashimi slice size. The rolls were a little overburdened with rice. I feel they tried to overcompensate the lack of actual contents in the rolls by just adding more rice around it, then trying to make it look bigger from the slice of sashimi that was laid on top (see pictures for details). The dessert selection was much better than expected. Traditionally, you only ever see the odd deep fried dish and ice cream. This place ran out of the main strawberry blackforest cake I'd wanted, but this mocha mousse was more than enough to satiate me after a hearty meal! ------------------------- Overall: It was an OK price for a decent meal, but I wouldn't recommend this place to any run-of-the-mill sushi lover. It's simply not enough selection (you order off of an iPad, which submits to the main computer to deliver to you). ------------------------- TL;DR: Hole in the wall AYCE sushi place that's worth trying out, but wouldn't frequent, as it's a little more costly than it's down-the-street neighbour with more variety.

Decided to order in for a family birthday because of all the COVID pandemic closures, so we picked our local favourite - Makimono. It did not disappoint....it was an over the top meal tonight. Everything was a bit larger than usual and their were extra pieces in the order. Their usual top notch quality was evident. The sushi was beautiful and delicious. I know they might be hurting a bit for business because of the pandemic closures and wanted to do something special for the customers that were placing orders, and it was fabulous. Please help them out and place an order for delivery....you will not be disappointed!

My best friend I visited this place with our babies and upon arriving it was so difficult to take our strollers in. There was a step to get in and had to carry strollers in. There was also no option to automatically open the door. We told the lady we were unhappy and no apology was given. So we ordered the dynamite roles, veggie pad Thai and shrimp tempura. Food literally came after 5 minutes. so we know it definitely wasn't fresh. Dynamite rolls were pretty good, shrimp tempura tasted good however wasn't freshly fried and the veggie pad Thai had only small pieces of celery and 1 piece of broccoli. That night we both started experienced stomach cramps and felt nauseous. We are definitely not returning back to this place.

I went here a couple time and the food is great. There are a lot of different options of food and there is also some stuff that little kids can eat like chicken and edamame beans. Just a note that to always look at how many servings it comes in. Really recommend eating here

This place is one of my go-tos for AYCE in the east end. Everyone I've brought here leaves happy and satisfied. It has tons of options so even if you have a picky eater/non-sushi lover, there will be something for everyone. Their food is pretty consistent and the iPad ordering system is convenient (although they added a weird function that asks servers to confirm your order for the past year or so). Service is fairly good - rarely do they forget your order or leave your glass without a refill. Good fresh tasting sushi, sashimi and other dishes. My only real complaint: Definitely bring cash or a credit card because they don't take debit. There is an ATM though, just in case, but it has a steep fee.

Pretty good selection! They use tablets to take orders which is always fun! The maki rolls are REALLY big- no lie. So make sure you pick the ones your really like first to get an idea of the serving size for your group and then order accordingly. They have small cakes and fried banana and fried custard for dessert so that was special. They had the usual fanfare so I enjoyed myself! If you're too lazy to drive all the way to Markham for sushi then this place is a good spot in the Pickering area!

My wife and I came here for our 7th anniversary and it WAS NOT what I expected. The decor was not what is looks like on the website and it felt like the witness was rushing us to finish eating. The restaurant in general just felt bad. Sitting down at the beginning service was fast and the food came out in less than 10mins. However when my wife found a hair in her sushi, that just killed her mood. The manager was great in trying to accommodate her disgust, being very apologetic STRONGLY insisting that we take another plate or a dish to go aka "trying to get us to pay for food we don't want." After several times of saying no, I intervene to say sure, we will take the dish but 1/2 price. Why did I say that, after this annoying compromise was made, there attitude turned from "I'm sorry" to "I'm done"...... And so were we. That was my 1st time eating at this restaurant... Never again.

We found hair in 2 dishes and they Only gave 10% off. Food wasn't the greatest either. Won't ever come back here

What is going on Makimono??? I used to love both Ajax and Pickering locations and would go out of my way to eat here. I was just here this past Saturday with a friend and they now have a conditional pass for the health and food inspection. We decided to eat there anyways. We didn't get sick or anything but the food was just bad considering it's pretty much $30 a person for ayce. I feel like the quality of food has gone WAY down over the years. Needless to say I will not be back.

One of the only AYCE places that offers sashimi for lunch, which is exactly why we made the trek there. It's not a huge sashimi selection (and doesn't show on their website menu) but salmon sashimi is good enough for me. Ordering from the iPad is a bonus, mostly because you can see pics and descriptions of every menu item. However, unlike some other places, a server has to come and confirm your order every time before it gets placed. Probably would be more efficient if this step was eliminated as it is at other AYCEs with iPad ordering. -1 star because some food items didn't arrive near the end, but we were well attended to for the entire meal.

This is my absolute favorite AYCE sushi place. I used to only go to AYCE sushi places in Markham where they don't even bring your food, especially if you have ordered it more than once. And then this place opened up, and now I can finally have AYCE sushi with good service! Portions are decent. My favorite type of sushi is dynamite roll, and this place does it best. Also they do make changes to the menu every so often and add things to it, which is nice. A favorite addition of mine is the custard balls, they are perfect for dessert. They've also added some apps like dim sum and har gow and little cakes for dessert. Service is excellent, they often get large parties and the staff always seem very accommodating to big groups. We always receive our food fairly quickly no matter how busy the restaurant gets.

Food is not fresh and it isn't worth the money. I would never recommend this place to any sushi lover. What a disappointing chain of sushi restaurants.

Makimono is a very nice place for sushi. There are ipads for ordering and a wide selection. There were many vegan options for maki rolls which seems like a good feature of this location as well. I loved the wontons and the deep fried custard buns. The only negative thing I will say is that my friend and I felt kind of uncomfortable. The service staff made us feel kind of uncomfortable. They did not do anything in particular but we felt kind of like we were being stared at??? Lmao idk it was still good though
