I hate this place

I've been to many sushi places in Waterloo. Ye's sushi (Waterloo/Kitchener), Yummyaki, Sushi star, Watami sushi, etc. And sushi 99 is the worst place I've ever been to. First time I went there was with my family and my relatives. They connected two tables for 10 of us. Then, only one table would get all of their food and the other table didnt get any food so we had keep telling them what we ordered. Second time I went there, it was even worse. Me and my bf found a piece of hair in the sashimi plate. So, i called the waitress, showing the plate and she jus said "ok", took the plate and walked away. No apology, no nothing. Not only that but also my bf felt sick after eating red tuna sushi. Apparently it was not only him who felt sick because my other friends felt sick too. I hope the manager of sushi 99 sees my review

Best All-You-Can-Eat

I found that Sushi 99 was the best all-you-can-eat sushi place that I've been to in Waterloo. Portions are perfect, entrées were delicious and dessert was amazing. The Waterloo Roll was probably the best roll I ordered, but overall everything was fresh and tasty. California Salad was the perfect appetizer and deep-fried ice cream was a great dessert to end off the meal. The service was less than spectacular, with some of the orders getting lost, but eventually we got everything we wanted. They're always there to fill up the water glasses and take dishes away. I will be going again!

Bad Food

Sushi 99, seems like the kind of place that has the potential to really set itself aside from all the other sushi places in town. It has a fantastic atmosphere, modern look and a cool vibe. The servers are really polite and welcoming, and fun. Except for the fact that items that are ordered sometimes never make it to the table, the service is great. The food however is horrible. The sushi is loosely rolled and falling apart. Bits of seaweed are sticking out the ends. The chefs seem to be fairly inexperienced; as I am confident I can make better sushi than them. The wasabi tastes bland and expired. When wasabi is fresh, all it takes is a pin head size to bring tears to your eyes. The wasabi at Sushi 99, I could eat with a spoon. The tempura is fried in heavy oil. The strong flavor of burned oil overpowers the tempura and makes everything taste like onion rings from Harvey's. All other portions are very small. 1 portion of calamari rings = 1 calamari ring. 1 portion of salmon = 1 mouthful of salmon... you get the point. Unless this place hires new kitchen staff, I am never going back. If these goofs can't prepare quality food, then I'm more likely to get food poisoning than to enjoy a meal there.

What a disappointment

I had heard some good reviews about this place, so I was really excited to go try it. The interior was really nice. We were greeted by friendly waitresses. However, we were seated at a really small table. And when we asked to switch, they said they couldn't move us because it would mess up their food system...So our table was a part of "A11" but since they separated us from "A11" we became "A11A." This whole system they had was messy and unfunctional. Our food kept getting mixed up with the "A11" and vise versa. I first started with ordering an avocado salad. I was shocked at the size when it came. There was literally less than 5 piece of lettuce in that little bowl. There was so little in it that you could see the bottom of the bowl before you started eating. We also ordered some salmon sushi and a variety of rolls. They were all just average. The tempura and any of their deep fried dishes were just disgusting. They were all drenched in oil! Half of the vegetable tempuras weren't even crispy, same with their spring rolls and dumplings. Their meat dishes were actually quite good, especially the kalbi beef. About 5-10 of our dishes never came, even after we asked the waitresses about it. People around us were having the same problem. In the end, we just got our ice cream and left. Their food system really needs some fixing. You get 2 sheets of paper and you tick off what you want and how much of it you want. And then, the waitresses put your order into the computer, which usually takes a while. And some how, even though your order is placed in the computer, it still gets lost. And I'm positive the waitress didn't lose any of our order because we sat right next to the computer, so we watched them put our order in. If you want to try a new sushi place, then maybe try it out? You might have a more pleasant experience. But if you want to skip the whole issues of mix ups and missing orders, then dont visit this place.
