Good service, nice unlimited food. All fresh and tasty! Thank you to all the team and our waitress Ruby and a polite waiter who made us nice mojito 😌 Will definitely visit again.

I had an amazing dining experience at August 8! Ruby, one of the staff members, was incredibly warm and attentive. She offered timely assistance and was very polite, which made the whole experience even better. Huge thanks to Ruby for her excellent service! I highly recommend this place!

Heard good things about this AYCE restaurant in Oakville. Finally drove 40 mins here to try it out and it was a huge disappointing experience. All sashimi had no taste to it. (Yes, I know this is AYCE). These were the cheap quality ones. Hot dishes are not good either. Fried squid was chewy and dry. Wings were ok. Miso Soup was warm only and tasted like water. Hot and sour soup texture was too thick, like milk shake. I’m comparing this to other AYCE. Not fine dining. In the middle of dining, a family of three (one male, one female and a kid) sat down on the table behind me. Immediately, my wife and I smelled something really bad. I’m very sure the smell came from the man. I politely informed my server and requested to move us to another table (at that time, alot of tables available). The server said that it’s out of their control and can’t do anything about it. Switching table is also not an option. I asked for the manager. 5 mins, 10 mins, the manager didn’t come. The server then told us that the manager would see if we can move to another table. 5 mins, 10 mins, no one gave us an update. I couldn’t stand the smell, we paid and left asap. After I paid my bill, I asked to speak to the manager at the front. When I was at the front, the server asked me to speak to the receptionist. He is “one of the manager”. I am not sure about his position because I knew the lady should be the manager. Anyway. I talked to the “Manager” and how disappointed I was. Of course he didn’t know what to say. Then I left the store. Very poor customer service. Food was just average. Not sure why they earned many good reviews. Maybe other customers never tried other places?! Will never come back again.

Get to play the waiting game to see if I get food poisoning! Went here with 3 other people tonight for AYCE (September 8 2024). A bunch of the items we ordered weren’t brought out the entire time we were there, over 20 minutes of waiting with no food or service. About 15 minutes after we received our reordered rolls that did not originally arrive we followed up on the fried rice we ordered (just to avoid accidentally placing 2 orders). It came out about 10 minutes later. I am not a fan of chicken, so I picked through the bowl to start removing pieces while eating. It was their August 8 special fried rice with crab/shrimp/chicken. The first few pieces of chicken looked okay, I had a couple bites of rice. Then I noticed one piece looked off. I asked my boyfriend & friend who also confirmed it looked raw. I then picked out every piece to find the majority were seared on 1 side, completely raw on the other. The main server was extremely apologetic. I did a shot of vodka in the hopes that it would help curb food poisoning (shoutout to the journal of epidemiology but I don’t have high hopes for this) My meal was comped out of 4. We split the bill (2 on 1 bill, 2 on the other). My drink was not comped (lemonade). They didn’t even ask if my partner had any to eat, or anyone else at the table. I don’t even know what to expect in this situation. I was pretty flustered in the restaurant because I’m already anxious about eating chicken, just for my worst food fear to become a reality. Guess I’ll see how sick I end up.

Great sushi but get there before 6:30pm.. it gets very busy. Fortunately, I got there before the rush. I was shown how to order through a iPad application. It seemed pretty straightforward. However, I got carried away and ordered way way too much. As the place started to get very busy, my food started to slowly come out. By the time I received the remainder of my order, the place was packed. I was very satisfied with the freshness of each dish and its overall taste was excellent. However, when it came time to checkout and pay.. I used the App twice to notify my server, but she was very very busy fulfilling orders. Finally, I had to catch her eye and give a hand gesture that I was ready to pay. After that, things went smoothly..in the end, the choice to eat there was great but the service gets slow when it gets busy. The pictures tell the story.. you won’t be disappointed!!

Having already been to the Burlington Location a year ago and fully enjoying it my expectations were high. The Aug 8 Oakville location definitely lived up to them! The food was just as good as I remembered, the service was fast and friendly and the price compared to many places nowadays are certainly worth it.
