Sano Sushi Japanese Restaurant

We've been coming here for a while now and its safe to say that we will not be coming here very much. They have raised their prices significantly... a dinner is now well over $30 ... for that price I'll go to a Non Buffet place which has better quality sushi. One thing though, their service has gotten much better and friendlier... In terms of price, its way too much now.

Came for lunch all you can eat on Saturday around 1130am. The place was empty at first and filled up quickly after an hour. Salmon rose was very good and fresh. They brought us all the food we ordered. Service was fast. Great place!! Highly recommend.

I've never seen portions so small... This "deluxe spicy roll" only came with 4 pieces and cost $10. This entire meal cost $40..

My absolute favorite all you can eat sushi place in Thornhill! The price is really good ($33/adult/dinner on weekends), the variety is huge, the food is high quality and the location is very convenient. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming. There is literally nothing I'd change about this place!

The restaurant is pretty filthy. There was dust everywhere, even in my cup! Had to cover my cup with a tissue, and the waitress gave me attitude when I asked for a new cup because there was dust in it. But the food was good and prices are reasonable! The staff could do better at service, it is very hard to communicate with them!

The food was very tasty. I came here for a fast and healthy lunch. Since a Booster juice can run you basically $10 so I thought for 12 I could actually have a proper lunch. I ordered the Salmon Bento box meal and it was delicious. The portions were decent and flavorful.

Let me start of by saying, if you’re looking for a la carte quality from an all you can eat restaurant, come here. If you want all of the reasons why you should come here, continue to read the review. I was really hesitant on this visit for a few reason; we were a large group and that usually brings down quality on top of the fact that throughout covid, most all you can eat restaurants have gone down significantly in quality but that was NOT the case at all. I have been coming to Sano for years, in fact when I first started coming here it was still called “VIP Sushi” and time and time again they have never let me down. My biggest complaint whenever I go to all you can eat is that they try to overload you on rice which wasn’t even remotely the case here. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, the rice was nicely seasoned (which isn’t all too common at sushi restaurants lately) and the service was really good. Some of the highlights were the Wakame salad which is unlike any wakame salad I have ever had. In 99% of places when you order wakame salad they serve you what I consider “seaweed salad” you know, the bright green, cold stringy seaweed salad but here you get lovely wakame seaweed salad with a delicious sauce mixed in, I would recommend that to anyone that goes there. Of course the fish tasted very fresh which is always a plus. The red tuna was nice and buttery, the hand rolls were served fresh, the seaweed still being crunchy rather than soggy which shoes the servers are really hustling to get the food to the table as quickly as possible. The hot food was also very memorable. The beef teriyaki was cooked to a perfect medium rare, they didn’t sink it in sauce to hide any potential poor meat quality which shows they are confident in the product they were putting out to their customers. The same goes for the short ribs, they were very well seasoned, not overcooked and fell right off the bone. Overall the food left a really good impression. I try to always include a downside in every review just so there is full transparency in the reviews but I genuinely cannot seem to think of anything negative to say about Sano. Like I said at the very beginning of the review, you truly get a la carte quality from an all you can eat restaurant here which is insanely rare

This place is one of a few all you can eat sushi places that make fairly decent food. Their variety is not a lot but that's a good things you can be sure that what they do offer will taste decent. The sushi we ordered were huge and there was a lot of rice in the salmon rose and eel sushi. Some of the salmon sashimi were still icy but some were thawed out ok. Overall it is a decent place to come. Small but cozy. Clean and bright.
