168 sushi asian buffet. bar

avoid this place, if they pay me i won't eat there!. to be fair i don't know about the food because we decided to leave before trying the place!
the service was so awful ! we simply asked for a different table which there where more than 10 other tables and the manager said these tables are all reserved. only 2 of tables had the reserve sign!!! and who reserve tables in a buffet place? the manager simply didn't want a change our table and when we said that if you don't give us another table we will leave, he very arrogantly said fine you can leave and so we did!
this guy is so rude that if they pay me and if they have the best sushi on the earth, i won't go there again. i have to say that i have a chain of restaurant (and it's not a japanese food so not a competitor) myself and if any of my employees speak to a customer like he did, this would be his last day of work at my place. at 186 sushi, they have forgot all about the customer service!
i hope the owner of the restaurant read this comment and get rid of the so called manager.

the ipad ordering is very fantasy. i went there twice. first time i went there, 168 sushi was opened only a few days,we ordered food is ipads, the ipads run well at that time. but the sushi were pretty bad, those sushi were so loss, they fell apart when i were trying to pick it up. and i found that the food show on the menu were look good way more than there were severed. and the dishes tasted bad. second time i went there, i found that the ipad systems are running so slow and there were system problems. for example, the system was down, and we need to reorder what we want, and it happened twice during my dinner which pissed me off so much. and all the waiter were so busy, they response our call so slow. overall, it was not a good experience and i am so disappointed.

been there twice, not impressed both times. the experience is different with their ordering system, but other than that the food is so so. our food arrived within minutes after ordering that leave us wondering if the food has been prepared ahead of time and sitting around for the waiters to serve them. the hot (temperature) foods were just warm, sushi & sashimi not so great. can't really pinpoint one think we really don't like about the food, it's just a lot of little things we don't like about the restaurant. oh, though its a still new restaurant, it not so clean.

good quality, fair service. my only complaint is that there isn't much variety. sure, they have all those extra things that i don't understand finding on a sushi menu, like sweet and sour chicken, korean bbq, etc., but for nigiri and maki and rolls, it's more limited than other places. still, i go because they do a very good job of those items.

overpriced for comletely average.. okay, i will admit the tablet ordering is kinda cool, but other than that the was nothing even slightly special about this place. the sashimi was pretty bad, tasted like it had just been defrosted, but the steak bits were pretty decent so i will call that a wash. in the end i wouldn't go back unless someone really wanted to go.

excellent meal today. i had not been to this restaurant for a couple of years; however, i often eat at their mississauga and vaughn restaurants. both of those gta restaurants are highly rated by customers. today, i returned to london's 168 sushi and had the all day dinner at the senior's price. both the sashimi and the food that came out of the kitchen were as good as the food in their mississauga restaurant. the manager and the service were quite good. my only quibble is that the ipad program is slightly different than that of the other 2 restaurants and i had to get used to it.

i can certainly recommend this restaurant.

reopening on november 8. yesterday, i received a facebook message from them, saying that they will reopen on november 8. it took longer than expected to renovate the restaurant after the fire.

unique decor and ipad ordering system. let me state my bias upfront. i am a friend of the owners of this restaurant and i know the managers as well. i visited the restaurant on the third day that it was open and ate from the all day dinner menu rather than the lunch menu. seniors, such as i get a break on price, so i took advantage of the wider menu.

the decor was very attractive. it resembles a modern hong kong restaurant. the ipad ordering system was very unique and once i was shown how it worked, i found it to be useful because it had pictures of the items. once the food was ordered, it came out quickly. i enjoyed the food, especially the kitchen items. the sashimi was fresh and well presented. i did not try the regular sushi, but since i know the head sushi chef, i expect that it is fine.

this is an all you can eat restaurant, but you can also order items off the take out menu. lunch costs $13.95 ($9.95 for seniors). dinner is $21.95 (mon to thurs) and $23.95 from fri-sun and holidays) dinner prices for seniors are $16.95 and $18.95 respectively.

loved it and was a new experience ordering even tho it was an all u can eat. will be going back this wk

brutal service, food just ok. food was ok, service was to the point where the staff wasn't just inattentive, but rude.

ayce does not mean service can fall by the wayside. the mandarin is a perfect example of this, and 168 should take note.

my party and i sat at the front door for about 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged. the host was a nice guy, but he was the only one who said a word to us.

the ipad ordering system is clearly the best part about 168. unfortunately, because of this convenience for the customer, the staff i guess assumes they can be lazy with service. our waitress sounded like it was actually painful for her to serve us. didn't deserve 10% tip i gave.

again, food was ok. menu is comparable to wonder sushi, but wonder rivals 168 in service and quality of food.

we were seated near a dish station that frequently caused great noise and disturbance to the patrons as the servers just crashed the dirty dishes into the sink, often throwing them down so hard that they crashed to the floor. during my 45min visit, that happened probably 10 times....very odd.

all in all, i think it is safe to say that i won't be visiting 168 again. the staff at many sushi places in london seem to be under the impression that the food (even in its mediocrity) makes up for the utterly brutal service that they provide their patrons. it would be wise for them to eradicate this, especially considering that my comment is not the only negative one of urbanspoon for 168.

everything is awesome here! the best of the best sushi buffet..a fusion of chinese and japanese foods💕❣👍..lots of selections by using their ipad for entering your orders is so impressive..very fast service and friendly staffs..highly reccomended 👍

one of the best sushi places in london, amazing chinese and japanese food in an all you can eat restaurant. want to feast? this is the place to go!strongly recommended

a real hidden gem just off wellington st. south and a real treasure. an unlimited list of delights for every taste, something for everyone. soup choices, spring rolls, rice, noodle, meat or vegetable dishes. sweet, hot or mild for every pallet. try something new every visit and make a list of your discovered favorites, a full bar to compliment your dinner is available. service is fairly quick but you want to take your time and savor each delight.

i have visited similar "ipad ordering" all u can eat sushi places like this one but i really liked how there isnt a time requirement between ordering

staff was really helpful

sushi was good / small portions of salmon but what do u expect for all u can eat.

suggestion to restaurant- chill the rice for the sushi, warm rice didnt seem like a great combo

lastly, clean the ipads screens

price - surprised! very reasonable, deal !

i would visit again

i always leave super full and satisfied. good service and cool modern tech savvy way to order food. i would recommend this restaurant for any occasion,mood, or dress code.

lunch today at the oxford location with my young companion was a tad disappointing. i was told they were too busy to provide chopsticks with a rubber band. gee, it's christmas break...you might be prepared for more youngsters. the teriyaki salmon was over-cooked, tempura shrimp very greasy. all in all a general air of not caring.

on the other hand across the board my friends and i prefer the dearness dr location not far from whiteoaks mall!

great sushi. the appetisers are really good, especially the teriyaki beef. lunch dessert selection is reduced but it's good value for money at 18 dollar lunch price.
