    Best price for the best food! The sushi was well presented and delicious. The star of our meal was definitely the ginger ice cream. Semi-sweet and super flavourful!

    this is my absolute favourite sushi restaurant! I cannot express how much I love this place! It is so good that I go once a week but I recently was going multiple times a week because it is so delicious and I couldn't stop myself😂 I think about this restaurant all the time and have cravings for it often😂 The staff is always friendly, I've never experienced any pressure or looks from the staff as some people have said or suggested. I started out going for lunch but switched to dinner for the sashimi! when I leave I consider ordering some to go because I don't want the experience to end! I haven't tried the take out or delivery yet because I eat in the restaurant so often but I am sure it is just as amazing! the only thing is I'm not sure I would be able to order my mango icecream for take out/delivery😂 photos attached are my usual orders! highly recommend!

    I went in and placed an order for takeout. They gave excellent service, very kind and courteous. The sushi (Spicy California roll, Dynamite roll, and a Green Dragon roll) alwas made fresh and the vegetable tempura was perfect. The environment is nice and the place is clean. I would definitely want to come back for there all-you-can-eat option to try more dishes. Overall, a great spot for some great food.

    Great all you can eat sushi place. Good variety and selection of sushi and cooked dishes. Fried dishes were fresh and well fried. Service was amazing from this young polite server. Will definitely return to try their dinner menu.

    First time here, the service was great, there is a variety of menu items, and food was delicious! I like that the sushi wasn't a thick layer of rice, it was just the right amount so you don't fill up on rice.

    Went just before closing on the Friday, regardless the food was great as always. We haven’t been in a while and maybe that’s why but the food tasted like it was the best we’ve ever had, not atypical as it’s always the best but this time was just *chefs kiss* the portions seemed bigger and the quality was amazing everything was hot and delicious. As always wonderful service from the servers and chefs, we hope to be back again soon!

    Been going here since 2016, always 5 star, last time I went their front door slammed when i let it go so i left a 4 star and mentioned the door in my review. I’m amazed they fixed the door so fast. I went there today and the door closed softly! That’s besides the point, this place is amazing, great price, fast service, tasty food! I wish i could quietly mention the following not in a public way but i did have a tiny tiny spider crawl up my right leg from the window seat today. A small spider isn’t enough to stop me from coming here, I’ll be back here for sure!

    Was a pretty good experience... I read reviews to this place, saw they were good and decided to go for lunch. Lunch was $20 and change for all you can eat (on a Saturday). I had a few things (see photos) and everything was delicious and fresh! The rice/sushi wasn't hard, but fluffy, warm and yummy. Tom YUM soup speaks for itself - Yum!! My spicy salmon and crab were pretty good! I also had General Tso chicken (no pictures taken) and it was too saucy, not spicy and sadly the chicken was rubbery - same with Teriyaki chicken...undercooked and rubbery. Their Japanese beef fried rice was decent but plain - I liked it though and it tasted better with some soy sauce. I'd definitely go back, but I'd try different appetizers other than the Teriyaki chicken and General Tso chicken. They have a wide variety to choose from. Service was fast and didn't have to wait long...

    This is probably the best sushi restaurant in the Oshawa area in terms of the quality of the meat and other ingredients used. I can't say that I have ever been disappointed during my many visits here. The menu has a variety of foods from Asian dishes to more Western dishes in addition to the sushi. Parking outside the restaurant isn't very good but is manageable. If the lot is full, there is a large grocery store parking lot next to it.

    Always great food and service, plus the fact I can get beef teriyaki with miso soup, 5pc tempura with shrimp, 6 Maki (3 salmon & 3 cucumber) plus 3 salmon sashimi for like $18 cash is incredible. ♥️ (Picture is Delux Bento with 3 gyoza instead of sashimi and only 1 shrimp) but it's like $15 - $16 cash Absolutely fantastic 😍

    $20 with tax included and 10% cash discount for all you can eat lunch on a weekday. The service was great, fast, and frequent with half capacity. The sushi is of the highest quality and the menu has interesting options like squid, eel, and octopus. For dessert there is only deep fried banana, ice cream, and Jello but in various flavors. Orders are done with paper and pencil. Contrary to old photos, they do not offer free refills on drinks

    I come here almost daily for my lunch and it's by far one of the best sushi places I've eaten at! The serving sizes are great, fairly priced and tastes super fresh. Absolutely love it here!

    This restaurant is fantastic! The food is delivered hot and quick. The food quantity and quality is amazing! Way to go you guys. I would highly recommend this place even if you're not a sushi fan as they have lots of other foods to choose from.

    Run by actual Japanese people... I think now the best sushi and suddenly the best all-you-can-eat in Durham region given that Tokushima is now take out only.

    Excellent!!! 6 PM on a Saturday and my date and I had the whole restaurant to ourselves. This place needs way more business! All the food was incredibly fresh and tasty. It was prepared with care and the presentation was really well done! Pricing is to be expected ($31 for Weekend All You Can Eat Dinner, but a bit cheaper if you pay with cash). WORTH IT. Other AYCE sushi places I've been to recently have been really disappointing in their service and food, but this place rocks!

    I was in the area and stumbled upon this all you can eat sushi restaurant. We went inside and requested to see the menu prior to making a decision to eat there. The lady gave us a paper menu and we noticed that some of the items, particularly the sashimi, had $ marked beside them. We asked if we had to pay for those items and the manager said some are included and some aren't. That didn't answer our question at all. He said that it's an old menu and that the new one is on the iPad. So we asked to see the iPad instead (which should have been provided to begin with. Why show an old menu?). He said we can't see it unless we were eating there. Are you kidding me? I'm not going to eat at a restaurant without knowing what they offer nor will I pay to review their menu. Avoid this place out of principle. Such a terrible way to run a business and the customer service definitely requires improvement.

    Giving this place 3 stars, only cuz the food was good and fresh although not much selection. The server with short hair is nice but the older lady with long hair won’t stop staring at us the entire time and then laughing, she is not polite what so ever, rude when I ordered dessert. When I went to the bathroom she followed me…If I come back and see her I will NOT be sitting down. Good day

    My husband and I loved Rainbow Sushi! Everything was so fresh and very tasty. You have to try the dumplings as they are the best I have ever had. Stag were super friendly too!

  • 5/5 Kovi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good quality! A lot of vegan options here. Also my girlfriend accidentally left her wallet at our table and while we were outside in our vehicle the server brought it out to us. Amazing service!

    exceptionally good. It was my first time trying sushi and was such a nice experience. I want to go back so bad😭 i had the all you can eat, trust me it was DELICIOUS.

  • 4/5 Pero 1 year ago on Google
    I've done takeout and dine in and they are pretty consistent. It's not the greatest sushi ever but for the price anf location they are pretty good. Hard to get really great sushi in Oshawa. Rainbow is one og the better ones around

  • 4/5 Time M. 5 years ago on Google
    Really cool buffet place, come here over 5 times, only had issue once with cleanliness of a bowl and it was taken care of . The food is good and staff should learn how to smile, it goes a long way. But overall experience is fantastic and price is fair, recommend it.

    Absolutely underrated place. Never been disappointed with the food or service. Makis have the perfect rice-to-filling ratio.

    Was great. There wasn't shrimp tempura for the lunch menu but lots of other choices. Great service, clean. Covid safety guidelines followed strictly, excellent:)
