Restaurant Review: 520 Sushi (formerly Akita)

520 Sushi (formerly Akita)
Location: 252 Queen Street East, Brampton, ON
Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: Overall, the restaurant is clean and decorated nicely. The service was okay, a little inattentive at times, but I'd rather inattentive than over-bearing. The staff were very polite and that's a big plus for me. The food wasn't anything outstanding and the selection was limited. The food didn't taste very fresh and items that should have been hot, were warm or cold.
Price: I believe it was between $11-13 for lunch

Order:
  • Seaweed salad: your typical seaweed salad; it was good
  • Edamame: not hot and fresh at all; disappointing
  • Sweet potato roll: this was really good, but I wish they would have indicated that it had tempura in it; perhaps label it 'Sweet Potato Crisp Roll'
  • Vegetable udon stirfry: very good, but a bit on the oily side
  • Deep fried vegetable ball: it was okay; I was happy that it was hot!...The only hot thing served...
Service:
  • For buffets/all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants, I do prefer ordering on paper (e.g. at 168 Sushi Buffet -- reviewed here), rather than having the staff take the order. There's less room for errors and it's easier for them to ascertain when you are ready to order (simply place the order sheet at the end of the table and voila!).
