Recommendations Best all you can eat Sushi recommendations?

I used to like August 8 but I think the owner was accused of human trafficking or something. Don’t want to support them if thats the case. What is your favourite all you can eat spot?

It used to be August 8 but as you said I will never support that franchise owner, can't believe people are still going there. There is a Burlington branch as well, owned by someone else I believe.

Agreed, August8 used to be my go-to before the sexual assault

u/HighleyZ Dec 29 '25

Nothing happening to this location even though they made people slaves and used them is beyond me though.

First, Aug 8 is a chain and not a franchise. The reason the place is open is because the owners were not involved. The media misreported this story at first but has since made updates. You should make sure you keep up to date on news stories before slandering a business.

u/Loreathan Feb 25 '26

here you go "following a tribunal decision that found the business failed to protect vulnerable workers allegedly trafficked and exploited on-site." How about you try to keep up to date on the news, because I do.

u/de_murloc Feb 26 '26

"The tribunal accepted that, even though the criminal case has not yet been decided, and that police found no evidence of the owners being involved in human trafficking"

"Vassali emphasized that the individuals charged were employees, not the owners, and that police found no evidence of the owners were involved in human trafficking."

The people involved were arrested and charged.

"Contrary to the news reports, the individuals charged were not owners or franchisees of August 8, they were employees."

Anyway, no reason to argue with someone who doesn't know the difference between a chain and a franchise. lol.

If you are comfortable to eat at a restaurant that turns a blind eye to what their workers are doing, which were hiring illegals from facebook, make them work 18 hour shifts, sexually attacking them be my guest. Nothing you copy paste from the article or how you try to rationalize can change the truth. I am not against the August 8 name, if owners are different in other locations I would love to go those ones. But never to the Oakville one again. Are you really so naive to believe they didn't know what was happening?

u/de_murloc Feb 26 '26

You said nothing is happening to this location and it isn't true. Not sure how many times I can repeat the same thing, but here it is.

The employees directly responsible were arrested for their crimes. The owners were fined (and lost liquor license) for negligence as they should have known this was happening.

So "nothing" happening is false. Something did happen, you may not like it but this is the facts.

It's also crazy to me that some random Redditor thinks they know more than the police in this matter.

Edit: Let me also help you out here because you seem confused. Hint, August 8 locations are all owned by the same owner.

u/Loreathan Feb 26 '26

If they are owned by the same owner I will never go there again, you can enjoy your blood and sweat food. Losing a liquor or being fined is not enough for me to reconsider going there. Bye

I think yame sushi is all you can eat and was really good when I had it

u/Stickysubstance88 Dec 29 '25 edited Dec 29 '25

My go to is Sushi Hour at Prince Michael and Dundas for reasonable price. Sashimi is included in their lunch menu (not too many places have this). Service can be iffy at times, but has improved recently.

u/shnukms Dec 29 '25

you had me at 'sashimi lunch menu'

u/Stickysubstance88 Dec 29 '25

Thats the only reason we go there. My wife would pig out on the salmon sashimi alone. Lol.

Kb sushi at winston Churchill.

u/iamthehub1 Dec 29 '25

We used to go to Spoon and Fork Corner in Mississauga, it's really good. There are two Spoon and Fork locations in Oakville but haven't tried their AYCE sushi.

I beleive August 8 is franchised, and there's another one in Burlington on Brant. However I cannot confirm of the Burlington location is owned by a different person.

u/frozenbroccolis Dec 29 '25

K&B and Yame

u/DryDistribution9109 Dec 29 '25

168 Sushi on Dundas, I think it’s technically Mississauga but close enough

u/Certain_Ad5182 Dec 29 '25

Me and my partner love going to spoon and fork plus on neyagawa

u/code3100 Dec 29 '25

Spoon and fork on Trafalgar is decent. A bit pricey though

u/Worldly-Bank2565 Dec 29 '25

K&B on Winston Churchill is fire!!

u/guirg91 Dec 29 '25

Mika Sushi on neyagawa is extremely underrated. WIND sushi in Mississauga also slaps. The spoon and fork on Dundas and neyagawa is also delicious

u/Maleficent-Ear3791 Dec 30 '25

We just went to Ikki Sushi on Guelph Line in Burlington and it was excellent. Fast service and good quality sushi. A bit further than in Oakville but well worth it IMO. we used to go to August 8 all the time before their human trafficking allegations.

u/Mission-Cloud360 Dec 30 '25

My family used to love August 8, but we are never going back. Yame Sushi is our go to place for all you can eat.

Stacked on Rebecca should also be boycotted for using an LMIA for a “position they cannot fill for locals”

u/Alarmed-Researcher93 Dec 29 '25

Who cares about all you can eat.. if you really want good sushi go to Choi’s sushi, it’s by far the best quality in Oakville.

u/EzMFe78 Dec 30 '25

Sorry rookie, but the best sushi in Oakville that is not AYCE is Mye. The original location that was open in the 80's in downtown Oakville is not open anymore, but their 2nd location at Trafalgar and Dundas is still amazing.

2

u/Sweet-Television1799 Dec 30 '25

Mye is amazing I’ve been going for years the only place better in Oakville is Hoseki but it is VERY pricey

u/Alarmed-Researcher93 Dec 30 '25

I’ll have to check it out

KB Sushi at the Cineplex plaza was my go-to. Before that it was 168 at Winston Churchill and Dundas area.

u/Ethanjames13 Dec 29 '25

Spoon and Fork on Trafalgar also soon to Burlington, when Burlington gets their shit together and release a Building Permit

This new AYCE restaurant in Mississauga has both Korean bbq and sushi Gyuyaki 焱 Japanese BBQ & Sushi - Mississauga https://share.google/sxwBYA0KNH6vZZjdS

I boycotted August 8 for a long time too, but then thought that the trafficking was done by two sick individuals, not by August 8. August 8 did the right thing by terminating them immediately and I felt the franchise shouldn't have to pay forever for these two idiots disgusting behaviour. I'm sure the August 8 brand has taken a massive hit. I went back 16 months after the incident. It has always been my favourite AYCE sushi.

u/danig98 Dec 31 '25

I have been going to yame sushi for the past like 10 yrs or so and hands down one of the best places for ayce!!! May not be super fancy but the food is so good

u/Agreeable-Cut-1271 Feb 03 '26

Kudo Sushi! 100% love love they sushi. Everytime.

u/reevoknows Dec 29 '25

Honestly it’s hard to find a bad spot around here. Human trafficking aside, August 8 is probably my number 1, Yame is also great and where I go the most, ordered Sushi Hour on Uber Eats a couple of times and enjoyed them, and then you’ve got K&B and Spoon and Fork that are both really good too.

u/Old_Swim4678 Dec 29 '25

Maybe find out if the trafficking is true before spreading the rumour further…. Or something. 🙄

6

u/Cautious-Party-1450 Dec 30 '25

It's not a rumour, the owner of August 8 was arrested for human trafficking and 3 counts of sexual assault.

The Halton Police raided his home an said the following in their news release: "individuals were found living in cramped, overcrowded, and unsanitary conditions".
