I was disappointed to read the previous reviews on this page because the restaurant deserves so much more. The food is always so fresh, colourful and delicious. In terms of price and quality it can't be beat. i suggest you try it for yourself. It is one of my absolute favourite restaurants. They don't seem to have a lot of cutomers which is a huge mystery to me. Honestly, you will not be disappointed unless you are a highly critical person.
I frequented this place when it first opened because the price was alot less than others around and the food was great. My family went again over the holidays, and although the place was dead, the service was terrible. It took forever for food to come out, it was bland, and we had to serve ourselves water, get cutlery and napkis because the waiter just couldn't figure it out. The price has also increased, and they charge you even more on the all you can eat menu if you want sashimi. No other place does this. So while I loved it when it opened, it is going downhill. The previous restaurants in that location have all failed and I have a feeling if Annalisa keeps running its business this way, they just might too.
I have not come here for months after one of the waiters tried charging us for food we didn't want! The food tastes good at the time but it does not digest well. The rice is too sweet but since it's an all you can eat menu i am not surprised at how hard they try to fill you up.
My lady took me here last night for my birthday. We thought we will try something new as we are both sushi lovers. The place was quiet, with less than 10 people, but we kept having to find the waiter. The rolls are too loose and fall apart too easily. The pad thai was a little soggy. This makes you wonder if trying to do both Japanese and Thai food end up sacrificing on quality and details. Other than the atmosphere which we like, the food and services left a lot to be desired in our opinion.
My friend and I wanted to try this place out because they have all you can eat sushi for only $18.99 - cheaper than other places in Aurora/Newmarket. The food was amazing, and the price included unlimited drinks. The all you can eat menu has stuff for everyone. The rolls were so fresh, the soup came out piping hot and tasted delicious. A week later we tried take-out and it was just as delicious. The pad thai, vietnemese fried rice, and curry dishes were excellent. Other than the price, the best part was that we could order thai, and japanese from the same restaurant! It was a great experience both times and I cannot wait to go back again!!!!
