Moon Sushi

I’ve been to a couple of sushi joints in Mississauga and by far, this restaurant is definitely a good value find — the quality of the food and portion size is impressive for the price.
Went on a Friday night for dinner because I needed my sushi fixings, and was surprised and concerned that it was really pretty empty and quiet. I was skeptical at first but when I saw the presentation of the sushi and the consideration in its size, I was elated to find my new go-​to-​spot in Mississauga.
I’m definitely looking forward to coming here for AYCE lunch — I’m stoked to see the same quality for a solid price of $ 13.95!

At long last, I think I have found a good AYCE sushi joint in Mississauga.
The place is small but clean and pretty comfy. One thing I really liked was that you could see the kitchen staff working, so it had an «open-​area» feel to it. The menu is clear (they list the ingredients of the rolls) and there is a nice stack of order papers ready at the table so you don’t have to pester the waiters or waitresses for them. Staff are nice and welcoming and are the perfect mix of quickly coming to refill drinks, get order papers, pick up plates, and leaving you to eat in peace. It was busy when I went but a good place to go have a nice meal and chat with friends.
There are many unique items or items typically not on AYCE lunch menus (like kalbi, bulgogi, thai curry pork, bacon crab, fried milk, and enoki mushroom wrapped in beef) and all of them are fantastic, but the portion sizes were a bit too big. The thai curry pork came in a big bowl, probably enough for 2 — 3 people; my friend who ordered it was suffering from curry-​overdose. I also noticed that some of the stated portion sizes in the menu didn’t match up with the portions they actually gave you. I ordered 1 order of chicken skewers (2 skewers total) but received 5 skewers. Likewise, I ordered 1 fried milk, but got 2. I ordered 1 fried milk again, and also received 2. The biggest discrepancy in portion sizing was the enoki mushroom thing; 1 order has like 8 pieces and even with 3 people there it was a challenge to finish it. Taste-​wise, everything was good, but the one thing I wouldn’t recommend is the soup. I didn’t taste the soups personally, but my friends ordered a miso and spicy/​sour soup and both said they were bland.
Non-​sushi items are done as well as Heart Sushi does them, but unlike Heart Sushi, you aren’t served tasteless, so-thin-it’s-transparent sushi. Here, I had a lot of salmon sushi; very satisfied. Salmon was sliced thickly, not too heavy on the rice, and had a great fragrant salmon taste (I love Canada because we get great salmon here). Another thing I was happy about was that rolls like the Green Dragon roll I ordered came in 4 pieces instead of the customary 6, so I could finish it myself and not be forced to eat too much.
Food comes very quickly and everything is piping hot, fresh, and clearly made to order. After getting home, I didn’t feel very thirsty, so my MSG-​concerned buddy was happy about that. Overall, my friends and I were extremely happy with this dining experience. Other than the soup, there wasn’t a single dish we ordered that we were dissatisfied with. I haven’t had such a good dining experience in quite a long time. I’m glad I decided to try this place out.
Consider this my new go-​to AYCE sushi place in Mississauga. I’ve just become a big fan of Moon Sushi, which to me, has now become one of the more redeeming features of Mississauga dining. One thing for sure is that I’ll definitely be coming back for more of that delicious fried milk.

Despite trying to cut down our eating out, we still have an incurable love for the AYCE sushi joint. Given that my bf and I don’t see eye to eye on where to go (he likes K&B, I like Spoon and Fork) we decided on trying something new. Moon Sushi is fairly close to our house and we’ve been meaning to try it for quite some time.
Upon first entering, it is a bit of a weird environment. It looks fairly similar to the Montfort that used to be in that spot. Also, if you aren’t lucky enough to get a booth and are stuck at a small table, I would be concerned about how much you could order as they really were compact. Thankfully, we got a booth and ordered to our heart’s content.
The selection was more than enough in my opinion as we ordered everything we could and yet still had some items that were left untasted, earmarked for next time. Our favourite items were the arctic roll, the beef skewers and anything eel. Everything seemed very fresh, no strange flavours or smells. It was all presented in a very professional manner.
The paper ordering system kept it simple and they only forgot 1 item. And I didn’t have room for any salmon belly after all the arctic roll i had eaten (3 whole rolls…). Bonus, it was less expensive than most other AYCE sushi places by at least $ 4 and their pop was $ 1.50 with refills. We will definitely be back.

The food here was great I loved their volcano rolls but the deep fried stuff was not as great as other places I have tried. Service was good they greeted us as we sat down. I would return to this restaurant again

From 168 to shushi shushi, now this is my new spot for shushi buffet can’t go wrong with this place.

This is actually our second time here for AYCE. Our first time here last year was a pretty good one, that’s why I decided to come here for a second time, and as expected, everything has been great!
Food is delivered quickly, and service is great!
I believe this is the cheapest AYCE sushi place in Mississauga. And to add to the savings, you save 10% off when you pay cash.
Quality is really good for an all you can eat. Comparable to much more expensive buffets in Mississauga. This will continue to be my go-​to AYCE place in Mississauga.
Review 28 of 100

I must say it is nearly impossible to find a AYE Japanese restaurant that offers good quality food. I felt gross after eating here. Maybe at some point this place was good from the reviews I read in the past. But today for lunch, I thought the food was ok at best. I would not be back here again. The staff who serve me were nice people. Role sushi was decent. General Tsao chicken and sweet and sour chicken was off the charts — in tasting bad. Korean bulbogi was good. Everything tasted pretty generic; you get the feeling that owner of the restaurant does not care about making good food. It is good value for what you pay, so I would try it if you are on a tight budget for Japanese food, but just don’t expect much from Moon Sushi.

Best sushi place! We have been spoiled by this place, no other does any justice. We have tried A lot of different Ayce places but this one takes the winning title!

1 star service, 4 star food. As I sit here and write my review I’m waiting for my server to come and take my order sheet. It literally takes 10 – 15 mins every time for our server to take our order sheet, not the speedy service I’m use to at a AYCE sushi place.
My boyfriend and I came her because it’s one of the only joints open today as it’s a national holiday. The food is good however they’re really stingy with their tuna, first of all they only have one tuna item on the menu (tuna sushi), the first time we ordered 6 tuna sushi pieces and they only brought out 1 of the 6, the second time we ordered the tuna sushi they brought white tuna instead. I know tuna is the most expensive item on the menu but come on! Don’t advertise it if you don’t want to serve it that’s unacceptable.
I started this review with a 3 star and the longer I eat here the lower the star rating goes, I’ve been sitting here for over 10 mins writing this review and no has taken my order slip yet!
This is my first 1 star review and hopefully my last, never coming back again!
The food is good so I would recommend it for delivery however if you’re looking for AYCE don’t come here unless you enjoy slow service. If you’re looking for a good AYCE sushi place go to «Y’es sushi» on Dundas & Winston Churchill.
*Drops the mic*

I am not an AYCE sushi kinda person. At least, I never thought of myself as one.
But it was great here. Service was quick and efficient, everything that we ordered was what we expected or turned out better (I’ve been to one place that had a dish titled «Mushrooms with Cheese», which sounded great, but turned out to be a bunch of oily button mushrooms covered in butter instead).
The rice paper roll for example, with no rice and just avocado, crispy tempura, and sushi was SO GOOD. Portions are perfectly small so it’s not hard to finish.
The «fried milk» was really weird but it was hot and crispy on the outside and the inside was solid-​ish, until you bit into it, and it totally melted in your mouth like a liquid. So weird but good!
Great value for money here, and no complaints. We’ll be back :)

It may have been good when it opened… but not now.
Driving by Moon Sushi from the time the «Coming Soon» sign was put up to now when it has been open for a few months, I have been curious about the place but not enough to go in. After reading the wonderful reviews on TA, I decided to give it a try.
And after eating dinner there, I can’t understand (other than not having a car) why anyone would eat here instead of KB Sushi which is just a few mins (by car or transit) away. In general, I am not a big fan of AYCE sushi, however, now and then a new place does surprise me. However Moon Sushi is not one of them.
The location was previously occupied by a Montfort Mediterranean grill and the interior hasn’t changed at all… same old outdated booths and tables. The floors are covered in some kind of liquids that make walking to the washroom very dangerous. And I don’t think the overall place is that clean.
The food itself is also NOT good. The beef short ribs are 50% fat, 30% bone and 20% meat. The sushi is small and presented on very warm rice. The chicken fried rice was oily and anything deep fried had a dark colour characteristic of oil that has been used way to long.
The price, $ 22.95 for dinner is the same as KB Sushi but the interior, food and service are nowhere near as good. So if you’re planning to go to Moon Sushi, do yourself a favour and try KB Sushi first.

NEVER AGAIN! it is in my neighbourhood and I of course read the reviews and they were generally positive.
I entered the restaurant at 820 pm as the closing time was 10 pm so in our minds we had lots of time.
At 915 (45 minutes before closing time) the server informed my table that the kitchen was now closed. I questioned her as there was fully 45 minutes before closing but got a blank look. I ordered ice cream and then sat there and waited as the entire staff proceeded to go in close down mode. All we could smell was Javex so we got up, paid and left. The table next to us also got up and left in disgust.
Since the sushi is nether exceptional nor of high quality, the servers are disinterested and everyone Chinese vs Japanese (I thought Japan created sushi) and there was no obvious management around — I will be looking for a new sushi place.

I went to Moon Sushi on a Saturday for all-​u-​can-​eat Jap food for $ 15. The place wasn’t well decorated, but it was clean.
Happy: There were a lot of selection of foods if you are vegetarian. Their avocado salad was divined as the avocado was ripe and the sauce was perfect! I ordered many times! The food came at a normal pace and it was HOT. I like my food hot, not just warm. The bulgogi dish had enough beef and veggies. Love it! The rolls were nicely presented and the rice was still warm. The service was pretty good for an Asian place.
Not happy: I found out that some dishes from the menu (the ones in red) are only for dinner time. So read the fine prints first. They also don’t have the ipad system of ordering like some other restaurants. Write down the number of the dish that you want.
Verdict: I was one happy CAT walking out of the restaurant with my tummy filled with yummy food. The price and food was the right amount and I would definitely go back even though it’s a drive for me.

Lots of options! Very affordable! Very polite and accommodating staffs! For a lunch AYCE, they have so much great items on the menu already. What more if its dinner? But overall… I WILL COMEBACK. Or should I say I’ll keep on coming back from now on :)

The 4 stars are from the food, service and price. First, the food is good here. Rolls are presented nicely and tasted good. All the salmon based rolls are delicious and well executed. The grilled beef items were all excellent and were of a good quality.
Overall, the hot food items were great.
Service was on point and they said thank you all the time. I loved this. Checked in using Unilocal.Trust me ;)
One star off for old décor. Not a major fault but the place is showing its age.
Do come here for the food and service. 4 stars. ****

OK, I admit it, I’ve been a little guilty of hibernating lately. So my reviews have been centered around places I’ve been outside of Canada and within a short drive of my home. But yesterday I had a sushi craving that wouldn’t quit so I popped the Unilocal app open and looked for under reviewed (but well reviewed) sushi spots — Moon Sushi came up.
It’s a super convenient location for commuters as it’s located just north of the QEW along Erin Mills (so if you’re ever heading west in rush hour and you need a sushi pit stop this place is there for you). The plaza also boasts a Starbucks, a couple of breakfast spots amongst others, so I’d recommend walking off your potential road rage here.
I came in for lunch (which was super cheap) but once I saw how much more you got by paying for the dinner menu I went all in on dinner for lunch.
I ordered an assortment of regular starters like kalbi beef ribs, seaweed salad, miso soup and shrimp tempura. All were excellently seasoned, cooked or served at perfect temperatures but what I noticed was all the portion sizes were smaller that what I was used to at AYCE joints — definitely a cost saving measure on their part, but kudos on maintaining excellent quality standards.
The real difference maker for me always is sashimi servings, I can always evaluate a place based on this factor alone. In my opinion, they served up well sized, full portions of fresh fish that was neither too warm or crunchy because still partially frozen. This made me happy, and hence the 4 stars.
I also went for a few of their specialty rolls, and I found their selection to be very unique while still staying true to the popular standards like cali rolls, spicy salmon/​tuna rolls, dynamite, and all the colours of dragon rolls.
My first two roll choices (names escaping me now) were quire good, one a touch sweeter and the other a little spicier. The third roll was pretty awful and made me gag a little. The issue was not in their preparation or freshness just in the combined flavour profile. I believe this was the fried salmon roll with squid and crab meat on top. It wasn’t bad, but the combined flavours really didn’t work in my opinion.
Overall a very good sushi experience, and I would certainly return to this modern looking Mississauga sushi spot!
Eatcrest Out

Went for friday lunch.
Good selection of everything you can expect in a AYCE. Loveddd their chicken skewers. The service at this place really stood out. Never had to ask for tea and water to be refilled.
Much more smaller intimate place than Heart Sushi and the like.
Will be back.

3.5* — pumped up ’cause servers were quite polite and weren’t whipping dishes across the table.
What can I say about AYCE sushi? I always think it’s a great idea when I go, but soon after I start eating, I feel gross, regret and subsequently forget the whole ordeal. It is what it is.
Lunch on a weekend was $ 14.95pp then I had an additional 10% off after checking in with my Unilocal App. So it was like a coupla bucks more than just ordering from the a la carte menu. Other than tea, soft drinks were not included.
I didn’t order anything too crazy or over-​the-​top. Rolls were done well, nothing fell apart. Fish was pretty fresh, on par with most of the other AYCE places nearby.
Atmosphere: More like a diner/​family restaurant.
Dessert-​wise: Order the Deep Fried Milk! I really liked that one. Green tea ice cream tasted gross.

I had come to Moon Sushi for the first time just this past Sunday for lunch. A fellow Unilocaler had invited me to join so I did. They had a special 10% off check in offer so we both took advantage of it.
Being that it is the lunch menu and which is common to some other AYCE places the menu is different for lunch than it is for dinner and the price is less as well. Items such as sashimi, red tuna nigiri (white tuna nigiri is available), etc are not offered during lunch. On the menu, dinner items are denoted in red so you know that those are only available at dinner.
To start off they have the offer the old way of choosing your AYCE from the menu. You have to use a pen and paper to say what number the item is and what quantities you want. As usual items are told to you how many of each piece (s) per order. Nigiri I believe were one each while some other items like the maki rolls were told to you usually in 4 or 8 pieces per order.
We both started off with a hot and sour soup. The soup was good and I sort of missed having that soup as I hadn’t had it in quite some time. I also ordered an edamame and we each had a wakame salad.
For hot foods we ordered tofu, sesame chicken, house rice (mix of various meats, veggies and egg), kalbi (6 bones per order, nice!), mushroom beef rolls, chicken katsu and udon soup. All the hot foods that I had tried were very good. The kalbi was much more generous that when I went to say Heart where we’d asked for 2 x order of kalbi and were given 2 bones. Moon gave us 6 bones in one order. 6, not 1, 6.
Everything is pretty detailed in the menu as to the quantities so there can’t be any mistake really.
As far as nigiri, maki and other special rolls on the menu the presentation we got for the served plates was not something I necessarily expected to see at an AYCE place. The presentation was more your a la carte type. The Las Vegas roll we had for instance which was a crispy inside with cream cheese (really rich) as well as salmon on the outside came on large plate with drizzle shaped like flower petals and a single salmon roe at each tip. Seriously you don’t see that in AYCE at least I never have. The main plate we had with nigiri and maki cut also had a nice presenation to it.
Overall the food here is above average and the prices were good for lunch. After taxes with the 10% off our bill came out to just over 15 dollars each. That’s not bad. Even if it was without the check in discount it would have still been less than 20 dollars. The quality and service was well justified for the price.
I would like to return for dinner so I can experience the whole menu. Overall I liked this sushi experience for a lunch AYCE and I’d like to return again.
The food is good, it’s a good value and the service is good as well. All positives as far as I am concerned.

I recently visited this place for the third time. The first time had good food, but mediocre service. The next two times have had good food and great service.
My LOVES about this place:
–Flying fish egg sushi is delicious. There’s a nice crunch to the seaweed so you know it is very fresh.
–Their AYCE lunch is cheaper than Heart Sushi ($ 13.95 for adults, $ 1 extra for weekends & holidays)
–Hot & Sour soup is awesome
–Beef kalbi during lunch AYCE (so rare these days).
–Deep fried tofu is very good
My LIKES about this place
–Service is very good. They constantly pour tea for you.
–Fish is fresh and dishes are presented very well (look at the pics) for an AYCE place.
–The cooked food is not very oily. For some people, it might be bland, but I find it the perfect balance between healthy yet tasty.
–They aren’t too heavy on the rice for sushi and is the perfect bite size.
–The ambiance is better than Heart as it is smaller and more intimate, but it is not as cramped as Prince. I think it is the perfect size.
Dislikes about this place:
–Not much really. Some items could be better and they could offer a bit more desserts, but otherwise, this place is solid.
–Maybe they could have an iPad for ordering but it is a small place, so probably not necessary.
Overall, for the food, I’d give it 4 stars. However, because of the cheap price (for AYCE) and the excellent service, I have to bump it up to 5 stars.
Note: They also have really cheap lunch specials starting at 7.95.
