I don't understand why people are complaining...

I don't understand why people are complaining, it's a new restaurant it still needs to work out its kinks. Like any growing company and person they will learn from their mistakes. Yes the first time I went there it wasn't an overall enjoyable experience because it seems like the workers don't understand or speak much English and waiting for food was brutal. But other than that the food there is great! Especially considering it's an all you can eat sushi buffet. All you have to do is know how to talk to them, you want your food out all at the same time they'll have it out for you at the same time. The workers are actually really friendly, and it's not because I'm non-Aisan, I went there with my Asian friends, I was the only non-Asian, and they treated us the same way they did everyone else. other than that the sushi is priced adequately and it tastes great! I will keep on going back to Makimono!! P.S The building they bought use to be Pizza Hut =)

FIrst off, I don't get what having to be 'asian...

FIrst off, I don't get what having to be 'asian' or 'non asian' has to do with getting good service or not. Sounds like the last reviewer EXPECTED good service because they were Asian? I want and expect good service wherever I go. With that theory, should I get BETTER service at a Burger place because I am a white person? Ridiculous. This was my second time at Makimono and I brought a non white friend with me who loves sushi. Both of us were thoroughly impressed with the freshness and quality of the food. Being "all you can eat," he was a bit skeptical about how good it would be or what to expect, but everything was consumed and enjoyed by both of us. I like the fact that it's not a big 'help yourself' buffet style table. Everything is ordered and delivered fresh to your table. It's true that the servers aren't the best at speaking English, so it' s a bit of a struggle to get information about certain food items when you have a question, but they try and are very friendly. I have already recommended this place to others and will continue to go back. The fact that it was a Tuesday night and a full house, has to serve some indication that the food is good too.

YUMMY!!!

This place is absolutely delish!!! I've been there twice and both times we ordered off the all you can eat sushi menu. The price is fantastic, the food presentation is great, it's clean, the food is fresh and the service was pretty quick. Yes, there is a language barrier with some waitresses but that's only a minor detail. Weekend dinners are $22.99 per adult wich includes all you can eat sushi, drinks (pop or ice tea) and ice cream. It's a shame that this place isn't closer to where we live or we'd definitely eat there more often. They need to open up more locations throughout the GTA.

Very good!

I had not been a big fan of sushi in the past but was asked to go to the new Makimono restaurant in Pickering. I was hesitant about how an all you can eat sushi restaurant would operate. I was really impressed. You basically order what you want, it is prepared and the waitresses bring it to you when it's done. It's like ordering off the regular menu but endless! Sweet...... Anyway I was feeling adventurous and went mainly for the temaki and sushi. I did try the calamari which was nice although a little chewy, I didn't think the teriyaki chicken was all that great but my girlfriend had two orders.... The avocado and California maki were nice to start, of the three temaki I ordered the spicy salmon was by far the best, the other 2 had less flavour and left me wishing I'd ordered more of the salmon. The star of the show for me was the butterfish sushi. It was a simple presentation of delicate tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I am by no means a sushi expert but I thought the meal was great, the service excellent (although the server we had was difficult to understand when describing the menu, this has already been mentioned below).
