DO NOT EAT HERE

I have been to Wonder Sushi too many times (both the North and the East location). Absolutely brutal service. We ordered 22 salmon sushi pieces and they brought out 22 crab sushi pieces. Typical Wonder Sushi bringing you the wrong order, throwing it on your table and then running away before you get the chance to tell them. Them came back 10 minutes later as if they were avoiding our table and refused to take it back and correct their mistake. They told us that it's our fault for waiting too long. Then they made up some rule saying that since we waited 10 minutes to tell them, it is ours and we have to eat it or they'll charge us!!!?? She even went and go our order sheet out of the garbage and showed it to us and said "See?" and we all look at her and said, "See! it says salmon NOT crab!!" Unbelievable service. We had to hardest time trying to tell them what was wrong because none of them speak english. The staff sleep and eat at tables next to you while they're supposed to be serving you, which explains the 2.5 hour dinner... AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COST.

Not the same...

This used to be our favorite restaurant. We returned for a visit after moving away three years ago. The restaurant has expanded, the deco is slightly better. Wish I could say the same for the service and the food. Defiantly not as good as if used to be. The slices of sashimi are small. The menu has had many items removed. Most of the more expensive fishes are not orderable, such as Eel sushi, tuna sashimi and the red snapper is actually Tilapia. Overall maybe some things are left in the past.

I love me some sushi... however, the service is terrible, they often forget orders, and sometimes it takes far too long for your order to arrive. But, if you like sushi, this place does not disappoint

I love this place!

My friends and I have been going to Wonder Sushi for a year and a half now and probably go once every two weeks. I also have many work lunches here with large groups of people. The first thing I want to address here are all the complaints about the service. The servers here are focused and here to do what they are supposed to so - serve. Not be your best friend. Are they the most out-going and friendly bunch? No. If you are looking for a server who treats you like royalty, don't expect that from a lot of Asian restaurants, that's just not the culture. I have never waited more than 10 minutes for anything. Do they often forget items? Yes, quite often. Does this ruin my experience? No. I just remind them and they bring it. Come on people. Just laugh about it and not get too sensitive and get our feelings hurt. I don't come to this place for the service, I come for the food. For the amount of whining on these reviews about the service, clearly most people dont care because the place is always packed at all hours of the day. If you enjoy affordable, delicious food served by fast staff then you'll like this restaurant. The food is fantastic! Favourites include deep fried pork don, crispy spicy salmon rolls, and the veal spare ribs. The sushi does sometimes fall apart but I will take freshly made sushi that doesn't always hold form over perfect-looking pre-made refigerated sushi any day. If you go there with an open mind and without a giant ego you'll love this place. When I go out, its the food and the friends that make the night memorable, not the fact that my server didn't smile at me and make me feel important. Definitely try it out. The amount of food is insane for the price you pay and I ALWAYS leave satisfied.

WONDER why I went?

My sister and I went for lunch on Saturday. This was our very favorite sushi restaurant in London. We sat down and we were given an order form. We proceeded to fill this out and handed it to the waitress. We only ordered 2 items each. We only received one item. She came back and asked if we wanted our bill? I told her we just got here and asked for the missed item and another order form. To make a long story short, it seemed each time we ordered, we never received at least one of our items. Very, very unfriendly staff. Heard the waitress talk to the table next to me and she was extremely rude to her as well. The second hand-roll we received - tempura shrimp was ice-cold. Can't believe how this place went downhill since the reno's. A 10% Service Charge is added to your bill, so they take the tip of front...it's a good thing, because the service was dreadful. Oh yeah..and we ordered our Ice-Cream 4 times and never did get it. Told the cashier on the way out - didn't care...WOW. Extremely disappointed.
