they were so kind we told them it was are friends birthday they came out with this yummy cake & switched the music to birthday music they got are food quick i loved even took are dish's that we were done with & the anime every where i love it coming back
Very cool, instagrammable place or if you love anime is very unique. Very typical all you can eat, food was good nothing to complain. We got there around 4pm & service was fast at this time, then around 5pm started getting full & service was veryyy slow, that we stayed more than the usual for us. They made some mistakes in the order, bringing us things we already had ordered & eaten but nothing mayor. I wish they had more choices for desserts. Also they should pass a dust collector in all figurines, very cool concept just there's a lot of dust all around the decoration

Obviously a great place for anime lovers. My friend & I spontaneously decided to try the place on a Friday evening - huge mistake 😭 I've never in my life waited so long to be seated & was quite hangry when we finally got a table. Once seated though, the service was quick & excellent. The food is comparable to other ayce sushi places, nice & fresh. Their unique menu item would be their torched sushi which were good. We were also given frozen treats at the end of the meal which was nice! Nice for a one-time experience - I think the owners also run K2 & Taiyo here in mtl if you're not necessarily into anime.
I love this place so much! It's hard to get a table when you didn't reserve in advance but when you're in, that place is nice! The service is quick & the food is good! +1 point for the little pokemon added on the sushis! With my friends we couldn't stop looking around at all the anime references! So fun!
My friend & I have been wanting to eat here for so long. We finally got the chance to try it out in late December & we were very disappointed. The anime decorations are beyond amazing, there's all type of anime figurines, wallpapers, etc. The service was not to our expectations, we didn't receive a lot of what we ordered. We had to wait over 15 minutes for the waiter to bring our bill. As for the food all of their sushi didn't meet our standards - tasted raw or very gooey. I personally had a bad acid reflux / gas reaction for two weeks & half because of how deep fried some sushis were made. I personally had a terrible experience & so did my friend. We won't be coming back again that's for sure. However I do think people should try it out once at least maybe their experience might be better than mine.
This is the perfect example when you put too much effort in the environment to attract people & nothing in the food. I've tried a lot of sushi restaurant, also in Japan & this was one of the worse. Each piece with different kind of fish was tasteless, I couldn't feel any difference & taste in the fish. Too much rice & no salt at all. The only things with a taste was the smoked ones for obvious reasons. The worst part was the price: almost 60 dollars per person including taxes. They could justify the price if they wanted to replicate a unique experience like the themed restaurant that you can find in Japan with thematic food & drinks. But this is only a simple all you can eat with bad food covered with anime posters & figures only to attract anime fans. The only positive thing was the service, really fast & kind. Not recommended in any case, even if you want to go just to try an experience, because it's not

The decor in this place is amazing, although I would recommend reserving ahead of time to avoid waiting in line. Keep in mind, you are paying 50$ for ayce quality but their menu is quite big & service was very quick despite how busy they were. The tempura was especially amazing when I visited but you're mostly going for the atmosphere anyways. I personally would not revisit unless it were to introduce it to someone who loves anime/manga. Note that they don't have many drink options or desserts to choose from.
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 ☠️
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.
