Makimono is a Japanese Restaurant of exceptional quality, and that being said I eat there at least twice a week. I enjoy sushi and maki in particular and have been to many restaurants in the vicinity such as Sushi Mountain, Odines, Sushi & Rolls, etc. and still feel as if Makimono offers the highest quality, food with the most selection. I recommend it to anybody looking for a tasty, fulfilling meal, as it also serves many other dishes than just sushi alone.
I come here almost weekly for takeout, though I have been to the all-you-can-eat before. Both are good, here's why:
Takeout: The lunch combos available between 11AM and 3PM are the best deal around. You choose from all of the popular rolls (I usually get a combination of spicy salmon, spicy tuna, california roll, tempura salmon, or alaska), and get free miso soup and free salad. 2 rolls (12 pieces) for 6.95 or 3 for 9.95, and if you pay cash, they give 10% discount. 18 pieces of sushi for $10.13 can easily be split 2 ways ($5 each) or saved for dinner later--quite a good deal!!
Dine-in: The all-you-can-eat dinner is one of the best around in terms of variety/atmosphere, but it is also one of the most expensive. THAT SAID, if you like seaweed salad or unagi, or you're into steak, or a variety of other cooked foods, or if you like a variety of sashimi choices, these are some of the most expensive menu items, and they are all offered here on the all-you-can-eat. You'll notice that some of the cheaper all-you-can-eats leave these items off the menu, and have a very poor selection of sashimi (raw fish w/o rice). You pay for the quality items, and the variety. Also, the atmosphere is decent, not as nice as the pickering location, but its also not as busy. The ambiance is leagues ahead of T&T's cafeteria-style dining, or Sushi Mountain's cavernous, dark depths if you're comparing it to other Ajax sushi haunts, it's about the same size as Sushi & Rolls, but a little more corporate, a little less traditional in terms of decor.
In terms of food, everything is always excellent, not too much rice on their maki, and hot dishes like teriyaki, tempura, and korean short ribs are always piping hot and freshly prepared. Probably some of the nicest-looking, best tasting sashimi around, and their variety of hot food items can't be beat. The miso dressing on their green salad is excellent, and I LOVE their seaweed salad, though it's served in tiny bowls, so order 2 each if you're doing all-you-can-eat. Their spicy salmon maki are not as good as Sushi & Rolls' spicy, crispy salmon rolls, though neither are as good as the Pickering Makimono's or Sakura in Pickering.
Watch out, if you're used to the Pickering location, these guys don't put avacado in their spicy salmon and tuna rolls (even though it says it is included on their menu). Also, because of humidity, I've noticed that their tempura bits get a little less crunchy in the summertime--though they are still excellent.
Of all the sushi places in Ajax, this place has the best and cheapest lunch takeout by far, and their dine-in all-you-can-eat is worth the price for the nice dining area and great menu selection.
Enjoy!
Great maki, sushi and miso soup! I regularly buy takeout (weekly), never been disappointed! Dined several times - same good experience.
Fast, courteous service, fresh food - would recommend to anyone.
