168 sushi asian buffet. bar

the ipadorderingis 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 theirorderingsystem, but other than that the food is so so. our food arrived within minutes afterorderingthat 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.

overpriced for comletely average.. okay, i will admit the tabletorderingis 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 ipadorderingsystem. 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 ipadorderingsystem 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 experienceorderingeven 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 ipadorderingsystem 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.

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 betweenordering

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

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!!! ipadordering... brilliant especially for us ignorant folk we got prief write up and great pic. server hao was on it :) food was 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 :)

we had the unique experience oforderingfrom 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 keeporderinguntil you are filled. it does not have as many offerings as the large chinese buffet restaurants but enough quality food to keep most diners happy.. would definitely return.

lovedorderingon the ipad!! most of the food to 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!

best valentines meal ever!. my husband surprised me on valentines evening by taking me to your restaurant for the first time. i was impressed. i love sushia restaurants but had never been to 168 sushia asian buffet and never knew what i was missing. not only is your food excellently prepared and tasty but your customer service is above normal. your *new* way of viewing andorderingthe food is genius and fast. i will spread the word to each and every 'sushia loving friend' i have, that your establishment is the place to dine.

like it ???? i loved it!

very nice from the moment you walk in. very friendly staff making sure if it is your first time. the ipadorderingis great for first time sushi people. photos with every item so you can see what you are ordering. staff very quick with orders and clearing plates.

there is lots to choose from, not all sushi. nice egg rolls, dumplings, pad thai and excellent korean beef.

sushi roll pieces are a bit bigger than i am used to, crispy spicy is more crispy than spicy. tuna roll was really good!

overall a very good experience. i will go back. just an fyi, no debit.

overall great. the food was excellent and plenty of it. the servers were fast efficient and very pleasant. the atmosphere was very pleasing dark moody but nice recently renovated.orderingon the ipad made it quick and efficient. only minutes fromorderingto getting the food it was excellent.

the service was superb. i went in thinking this place is either too raved on about or not enough due to the reviews but as i experience it myself the service and food are great and worth what you are paying! the food tasted really fresh and warm and just right. the ipadorderingis unique as well. definitely would go back:)

great way to try new things. i am someone who had never tried any sushi or any variety of seafood at all before 168 sushi. i went there expecting to eat some of their other items like onion rings, chicken, beef, etc. ended up trying shrimp, snapper, many different kinds of sushi rolls, and loving it.

good atmosphere, uniqueorderingstyle, fast service, and great tasting food. would recommend to people new to sushi and similar types of food.
