Hachitarou Japanese Cuisine.

sushi... If you know me, you know 2 of my favourite terms are "All You Can Eat" (AYCE) and "Sushi." I've been to so many of these places probably nearly 100 times, across Toronto (& even in Hamilton and Vancouver). On the weekend, I went to my regular spot in Toronto, Hachitarou. It is a pretty big place for an all you can eat sushi place and it has a pretty sweet menu. Their items include the usual Sashimi (Salmon, White Tuna, Mackarel, Snapper, etc.). Sushi and Rolls including black dragon rolls, green dragon rolls, rainbow rolls. The fish quality at this place is fresh because of its high customer turnover. Especially good at this place is their shrimp tempura (perfectly fried, not too much batter) and their Beef Sashimi (soooo good, don't be afraid to try it, its sooo good). If you have been to any sushi all you can eat place, you know that they totally dominate any buffets like the Mandarin or Starwalk. At Hachitarou, each table has order sheets which are filled out and you can make unlimited orders.
Another item that I don't see much at other places in Toronto is deep fried oysters. And a special shrimp tempura with yam wrapped around it. There are also many items on the huge double sided menu that extend even further from sushi territory in such forms as noodles, rice, grilled fish/meat, skewers/kebobs. They also have korean style seafood pancakes, seaweed salad, beef sukiyaki (japanese style beef hotpots) just to name a few items. The selection is seriously endless. Their dessert and beverages menu is also unlimited (including pop and a red bean ice cream slush). Just to add to this goodness, they have really good ice cream. Its the best ice cream I've had at an AYCE sushi place. You gotta try the Mango and Strawberry ones as well as the more Asian flavours, Green Tea, Ginger and Redbean.

Quick Notes: This place is located at Highway 7 and McCowan in the plaza at the North East corner, across from Markville Mall (8515 McCowan Road, Unit #9). This unlimited deliciousness comes out to around $20-25/ person (after tax and tip, which is included), depending on the day of week; more expensive on weekends. I have been to pretty much all the AYCE sushi places in Toronto, ones that are new and all the ones that have folded. Sushi on 7 used to be the King of these places, but Hachitarou, which has been around for a year is still standing strong. BTW, they also serve alcohol and even have the Japanese beer Sapporo on tap. They also close later than most of these places (~11pm).
Hints when going here:

• Call ahead and make a reservation no matter when you're going, as it is quite busy, unless you go early. 905-472-1210
• There is often an AD for this place in chinese newspapers (ex. Ming Pao), which gives you 10 % off if you pay cash
• If you go more than once, definitely try to ask them for a vip card, which gives you 12% off each time
• Come with friends if you can't eat a lot or if you are "not good" at AYCE
