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 thefoodbecause 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 japanesefoodso 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 orderedfoodis 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 thefoodshow 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 thefoodis so so. ourfoodarrived within minutes after ordering that leave us wondering if thefoodhas 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.

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 thefoodthat came out of the kitchen were as good as thefoodin 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.

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 thefoodwas 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.

brutal service,foodjust ok.foodwas 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,foodwas 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 thefood(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.

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

after reading some reviews viewing some pics ( thanks zomato reviewers ) i chose this place as my debute to sushi :) it was mine and my 12 year sons date night and he is an adventure eater as well... we loved it!!! ipad ordering ... brilliant especially for us ignorant folk we got prief write up and great pic. server hao was on it :)foodwas fast steadily coming to the table hot and delicious :) we reserved seating in advance after reading user reviews and glad we did place was packed. now for complaints... onion skins were found in 2 different dishes also general tsao chicken should be renamed general tsao chicken grissle. but pad thai cream cheese won tons tempura shrimp and hand rolls make up for it :)

went in for lunch today with friend around 2 . had 10 people in front of us . super busy but got seat quickly .
place was clean andfoodwas good . service was quick which i love when you are super hungry .
tried mostly all vegetarian sushi rolls, loved crispy spicy rolls , vegetable rolls and yam rolls .

the last couple of times my friend and i have gone, we get sick when we get home. we used to love going here! but thefoodhas really gone down hill, used to be amazing and now it's just meh, and sometimes absolutely disgusting, i had to send a dish back yesterday because it was gross. we also didn't get a few things that we ordered.

we had the unique experience of ordering from the i-pad and found the service pleasant and quick. all of our portions were well cooked and served hot. this is sort of a "mandarin light" place to eat as you don't tend to order or take more than you can eat with the portions being small. you would never leave the place hungry and just keep ordering until you are filled. it does not have as many offerings as the large chinese buffet restaurants but enough qualityfoodto keep most diners happy.. would definitely return.

we went there on sunday morning to have lunch. we were the first few people to come in. the server was nice, she showed us how to orderfoodon the ipad. to make the story short we ordered cooked and uncooked food, our cooked salmon has a stale taste to it (gave it to my wife to try and she spat it out) , also the shrimp in the roll starts to get slimy and smelly . my advice is not to come too early, early birds sometimes will get a dead worms from the night before. i give them 3 stars because of their service. i won't come back

came here for a lunch dinner with a party of 76 people. the service was quite attentive and quick (food arrived very rapidly, and water was constantly refilled). however, the quality of thefooditself was severely disappointing. the rice fell apart and was mushy, the fish wasn't fresh (the flying fish eggs were plain salty), and the tempura shrimp in the dragon rolls were completely stale. the one major thing i enjoyed, however, was the shaved ice that came included in the buffet. that's something you don't get to experience every day!

i absolutely love this place!foodalways comes out fast and the server is always around, ready to fill in the empty cups of tea. great dinner menus, though it does get pricey on the weekends...

loved ordering on the ipad!! most of thefoodto me was bland but still good. there are just so many items on the menu. my favourite was the baked scallop it was buttery and garlicky!

the service was horrible. the manager was wearing a sweater and when he sat us all he did was throw the ipad on the table and leave. the server wasn't much help and thefoodrunners just threw ourfoodon the table. thefoodwas all right, nothing special. only towards the end, when we were asking for the bill, our server, sandy, was being friendly. other than that, she was pretty cold and unhelpful.
