spring sushi

loved the salmon pizza!. went to spring sushi for my all you can eat sushi fix, the interior is modern and cozy, staff were all very nice. different from typical all you can eat sushi as i was not pressured during the entire visit to order more than i could eat. i started with the taro chips i've never had before and very surprised they tasted like potato chips 2nd was the fried rice which was a bit oily but very nice. the dynamite roll or tempura shrimp roll was ok a little bland but still nice, my favorite surprise of the evening was the salmon sushi pizza..wow i really enjoyed this! i pretty sure it's on the opposite scale of healthy but packed full of flavor and very easy to eat, i ended the meal with green tea ice cream and was super full.

nice treat. looked on us and had spring sushi on my wish list for some time now, i stopped in for my sushi craving. nice on the outside and well done interior i arrived around 8 pm and i was very surprised to see it still busy. after looking over the online menu i pretty much knew what i was going to try, and decided to go the all you can eat route. never having toro chips or sushi pizza that was top of my list, quit enjoyed the chips and verge surprised by the salmon sushi! tempura shrimp was yummy, chicken fried rice was a bit oily and tempura shrimp roll lacked flavor. overall very nice place i was not hassled about ordering more food the staff were super friendly and food was fantastic!

enjoyable. the sushi is delicious, they have a fair number of vegetarian options and service is attentive. we've yet to have a bad dish. alcoholic drinks are expensive, but if you stick to pop or water, you're fine.

i've been here a few times with friends and i agree...the waiting room should be bigger but the food is amazing!!! even with a reservation i have waited longer than i would have liked too but what do you expect, the place is amazing.

final verdict: it's no go tempura. :(. had the acye lunch here today. the food was either really good, or really bad. the thai menu, i would stay away from. the sushi was just ok, not great. eggplant/tempura was awesome. some of the hot food was brought cold which is a bummer. decor and service is a plus.

thought i would try it out after reading the most recent review, which raves about their food.

an honest review. i want to start by saying that no one has paid me to write this review, however i felt the need to.
i have been to spring sushi many times and i have also been to other ayce sushi joints as well. inside of hamilton and outside of hamilton this is the best sushi that you can get ayce style.
the service is extremely fast due to the ipad menu system and this alone makes it a winner for myself.
the sushi is always fresh and like i said i have gone multiple times probably in the range of a dozen.
the servers are 50/50 i find there are some really kind and useful servers and others who think they're almost too good to even be working at such a place. i dislike that however it's not a direct reflection of the restaurant they're young kids and this is expected by at least 1 server in every restaurant you enter into.
they do need a bigger waiting room yes, but i can almost bet anyone who commented on this doesn't know how to make a reservation either.
i would like to see dim sum come to spring & then it would be the absolute total package of a restaurant!

vegas rolls are amazing! along with the scallops & spicy crispy rolls! all delicious!

ps; spring sushi please get coca cola instead of pepsi or perhaps both haha pepsi takes very peculiar with sushi in my opinion.

i have never been disappointed. i crave spring sushi! the atmosphere is very modern and clean looking. the service is quick and friendly. it really is the best spot for sushi!

one of my all time favourite places. i love the use of the ipad for ordering, makes service very quick and easy. the servers are always very friendly and attentive. a very clean and beautiful interior with lots of seating. the food is always delicious! there are so many different things you can order: numerous types of sushi, various appetizers, udon, teppanyaki, pad thai, etc. definitely try the bbq eel sushi and have some custard buns for dessert!

i went here for dinner one evening based on the relatively high rating. i was severely disappointed. i was expecting a japanese restaurant with with a really good choice of sushi and sashimi items. what i found was a typical all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant and in my experience not a particularly good one. the decor was ok, the service was spotty, the food presentation was almost nonexistent and boring. to sum up the people of hamilton must have very low expectations of a "sushi" restaurant to have given it this high a rating. i will not return to this restaurant.

mvery good and fast pleasant service.i like the ordering method.the look is very nice.all the items we ordered were delivered at a great pace. hi value another great meal on tuesday july 27

nice website, but misleading. the decor was interesting, but the place had a rundown feeling. and i hate having to order on those pads-i never see anyone cleaning them, so always feel like i need to wash my hands after ordering. i know they're popular, that's just my take on the whole trend. food started coming  out really quickly after we ordered, which at first pleased us, however, the hot food wasn't hot at all-in fact, on one dish, the sauce was so cold it had started to congeal.  we sent it back. other hot food came out, and while i wouldn't have called it cold, it wasn't piping hot as if freshly made. it was more like, "still hot". all of our food was at our table within five minutes of us placing our order. i know that ayce is hardly a true representation of an authentic sushi house, but having all of our food arrive at basically the same time is a real faux pas. food is supposed to arrive at your table at a precise temperature, and you are supposed to eat it right away, because the chef wants it eaten at that temperature. you can't do that if it's all on the table at once. the actual sushi was fine. rice wasn't well formed, so a little difficult to manage, but the fish was good. nothing was special, though. no pride in presentation. the whole thing just felt like a fast food restaurant. servers didn't seem to know basic etiquette, like not putting down other people's dirty plates on your table, or not bringing your own dirty glass, refilled, to your table instead of getting a nice fresh glass with new ice and new garnish. i was buying, but the server didn't bother to ask who's card he had, just handed the credit card device to my husband, as if it were a given that the man was the one with the money. and he stood around watching while i put his tip in. also, the topper-and i really, really wish i had seen this before we ordered because we wouldn't have stayed-after my meal i went to the washroom, and as i was walking into a stall, a voice called, "no! don't use that one! someone peed all over it, i'm cleaning." it was the hostess. no gloves, no sanitizer, just bathroom paper towels and water from the tap.  and from there, i can only assume she went back to passing out those pads for people to place their orders on.

we have been to many ayce sushi restaurants so i feel like i have a lay of the land for this particular cuisine. spring sushi's decor may be stylish and exciting, unfortunately the food was not. the rolls are average at best. rice was not cooked well, not fluffy and compacted, tasted tough like the kind you get at a grocery store. there was not much to choose from if you don't eat raw fish in your rolls. as for the other options, tempura was just ok, but the thai items were on point. what really irritated me was the slow service by the waitress, which was made worse by the fact that she had to put in a code to send off our order! so you have an ipad for convenience and speed but then you have to wait for the sever to come back to send it off for you? also it wasn't very busy in the place yet we had to wait for the waitress to not only come back to our table to send our order, but once we got the food and ate it she took forever to come back and take the dirty plates away. all in all 28$ a person for ayce is not worth it at this place at all.

honestly over rated! it's defiantly a good price but then again quality>quantity. food isn't anything special. no imagination bad presentation and menu selection is limited. also staff is rude!! i've never encountered employees so impatient and disrespectful especially dealing with children . their lack of competence is astonishing. never going back! also no warning they didn't take take debit only cash or credit and then charged extra to use the atm.

the food is not too bad. my family has been going for years. recently, i took my toddler and yes he was not on his best behaviour and did become disruptive at one point.
the supervisor approaches me suddenly and was extremely rude. he said my son is being "so loud". then he put his hands over his ears and said "people can't hear he's so loud" "people would like to eat dinner" "you need to take him out"
seriously? was this the most appropriate way for a supervisor (or whatever he is) to approach the situation? it would've been nice to get a warning and give me a chance to handle the him. i could've easily distracted him with my phone or offered him the food that's coming. but it was all a blur because it happened so fast. i picked up my son and belongings and just left.
parents should not expect any kind of empathy from non-parents. lesson learned.

good old reliable spring sushi.  while nothing to write home about, the sheer selection size is admirable, and the quality never really wavers.  ive eaten at every sushi joint in hamilton, and i keep coming back here when i dont go to august 8.

dopo molti anni ritornata a pranzo sapendo che e ' stato sempre di mio gradimento. trovato invece scadente porzioni ridotte riso completamente scotto e senza sapore . ogni pietanza aveva lo stesso sapore cioe di nulla.
oltre a essere pure aumentato di prezzo.
decisamente non ci andro' piu'.
