Honeslty disappointing. Some food was good, others not so great. It felt like a gamble ! Half the staff was amazing. I would recommend that you try at least once, especially if you are into mangas, but I wouldn't make it a regular dinner spot.
Was on vacation & this was a spot I wanted to try. The service was great, food was fast, sushi was good not the best but it's alright. Definitely really fun environment to be in.
I have visited numerous all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants, & this particular establishment ranks among the *least* satisfactory. 1. The atmosphere deserves a 5/5 rating, especially appealing to anime fans due to its decor. Regrettably, it appears that more attention & effort were invested in the ambiance than in the quality of the food. 2. The food falls short of expectations. The sushi lacks flavor, with approximately 90% of the items being unsatisfactory. The exception was the salt & pepper shrimps. 3. The service was subpar. The staff hurriedly placed food on the sides of the table, displaying a lack of attention. One waitress accidentally spilled soy sauce on our friend's top while clearing plates, oblivious to the mishap. The entire staff seemed to operate on autopilot. Being obligated to give a 15% tip for such service is disappointing 👎🏽 In summary, I would not recommend this place for all-you-can-eat sushi. There are far superior options available at the same price. The popularity is likely due to the abundance of anime memorabilia, but the dining experience does not live up to the hype ☠️
Trés belle expérience tout était trés bon! On n'a pas eu à attendre pour la nourriture quand on passait nos commande! L'ambiance était bonne & la musique était a un bon niveau!

Would totally recommend, it has become my favorite all you can eat sushi place. I parked near the restaurant forgetting it was there & when I saw it I had to go in. When you got Godzilla holding sushi, bonus points. Long live the king Gojira
Restaurant à sushi à volonté correct mais pratique le tips forcé à l'addition. Comptez 39.99$ pour le restaurant + taxes + tips forcé à 6.90$ Soit un total de 52.88. Le tips forcé est de 15% APRES les taxes... vous serez prévenu !

This place was absolutely wonderful! Be careful not to order too much otherwise you may have to fight on who's eating the last bite. Almost all of the food was absolutely delicious. (I'm a picky eater.) Ordering was on a tablet lots of posters absolutely beautiful. It doesn't have my favourite anime but it's still amazing.
⚠️ warning ⚠️: Come in for the ambiance!! Just not the quality of customer services :) Frankly I love anime & anything to with the concept of anime. For one I will not give a 5/5 for just nostalgia. We went on Friday, which in technical terms weekend days for restaurants. We called to make reservations as we were told by people. "It's best to make reservations beforehand." To be frank, there is less of a wait time for reservations, compare to lines up. But why have a reservation at all if it's not prioritized & made to wait instead? We took our time of our day to make plans to come in to a specific restaurant, in this case a AYCE sushi place. I have went to multiple places that was packed & had a huge line up. They still took us in because we had Reservations. Not in quotations & question marks at the end. They (other AYCE sushi) did not make us wait for almost 30 mins. Service before placing you in your seats with reservations: 0/5. Food service of cleanliness & asking for refills on condiments: 3/5 Food itself: 3/5 taste like any AYCE sushi restaurant. Slight small menu difference compare to others. Fun to discover if you enjoy adventures. Spacing & seating areas: 2/5 the table is small & the chairs are not that accommodating. (We were 5 people) It is very cramped. With lack of space the servers have taken the items from our food quickly. Good job servers. Thank you for the experience. This is a one time eats in my books & for many others as well. For those who read the comments this is a just a warning before you go in. Your expectations should be lower when you go to this establishment.

Booked a reservation to Manga Bistro two days in advance for a get-together with friends on a Friday evening (ballsy choice indeed). With MTL traffic & the downtown parking situation as it is, we thought it'd be best to head to the restaurant early. My group arrives 15 minutes before our reservation & we see the huge lineup outside. We pass the line to see if we could get our table ahead of time. The server suggested we wait in line outside & that they would call out to us. We waited 10 minutes in line, watching people at the front of the line enter in before us. Were they walk-ins or others with a reservation? Who knows. It took a phone call during the 10 minutes to get a table. I understand, the ambiance & the look/hype of an new anime themed AYCE sushi restaurant is super appealing, so of course, it's a given that people are lining up to eat at the establishment & to take their time to be served. But what is the point of making a reservation if you have to wait outside for 25 minutes? & no, the restaurant is not a large space, there are booths, but most tables seat 2 or 4 people, so the spacing between tables is fairly cramped if you are a group of 5. The service inside the restaurant was good. Servers were able to deliver & quickly clean up dishes during the night. The food items ordered via provided tablet were all given to us, with some minor exceptions of delivering a wrong order or changing the sushi format of an order (i.e. ordering maki but getting a hand roll version instead). I would agree with other reviews that the AYCE sushi quality is pretty standard & that dishes do come out lukewarm or cooler than expected. Items I thought are worth ordering are Saumon Sashimi, Beef Ribs, Grilled Spicy Mussles & Saumon Teriyaki. Items I thought to avoid are the Garlic Shrimp Skewers, Herring & Roe Sashimi & General Tao Maki. One item that received mixed reviews at my table was the grilled scallop. The grilled scallop is covered with cheese baked on top of it. The cheese does give it a creamy texture but the taste of American cheese overwhelms the scallop. Although torched sushi was greatly advertised on social media, I don't know if the torching method was worth it. I saw that a server would come by to do side table service & torch the nigiri at your table. That did not happen for my group & I don't know if it's something that is a client request. In addition, it is true that your plate of food does come with a small anime gatcha figure or a printed sticker of an anime character on a toothpick. What was not clear was whether we could keep all these decorations as a souvenir of our night... The restaurant does not serve alcohol but does offer canned sodas, including Coke, Ginger Ale, Iced Tea & Diet Coke. In term of dessert, there are options for fried foods (fried oreo, fried bananas, fried pineapple & fried bread). Ice cream flavours offered are chocolate & neopolitan. In short, go if you really want to take in the ambiance. As for me, one time is enough.
