Come hungry: All-you-can-eat sushi in Edmonton

Fresh fish can be a difficult find in landlocked Edmonton but there are some local Japanese restaurants that can satisfy the craving. Throw in ‘all-you-can-eat’ and you can’t keep me away. When it comes to pricey fish, sometimes going all-you-can-eat will give you the best value for your dollar. Food blogger Linda Hoang breaks down some of the AYCE Japanese options in the Edmonton area.

Come hungry: All-you-can-eat sushi in Edmonton

Watari

1
10108 124 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5N 1P6

Newer to the Edmonton all-you-can-eat scene, Watari features more than 100 items to choose from, including mountains of sashimi (the dream), plus assorted sushi, cones, maki and quite the selection of deep fried dishes. It’s also the only all-you-can-eat to offer beef tataki (thinly sliced, lightly seared rare beef in a ponzu sauce), which is always a must-order for me at any Japanese restaurant.

Sumo Sumo Sushi Bar & Grill

2
300-220 Lakeland Dr, Sherwood Park, AB T8H 0N6

For a different kind of brunch, consider driving out to Sherwood Park for Sumo Sumo's all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch. You’ll find top quality sushi and sashimi at Sumo Sumo, but you’ll also pay for it. At $35, this is the most expensive daytime Japanese AYCE in the Edmonton area but also one of the best. You’ll get very large, fresh portions of sashimi here, fairly good variety and you’ll dine in a pretty slick and modern restaurant – though service leaves something to be desired. The sumo rolls and spider maki are very good.

It' All

10023 107 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5H 4L4

The city’s newest all-you-can-eat offers both Korean and Japanese cuisine. Go for lunch to get more value. The $23.99 lunch price practically pays itself off with sashimi (12 pieces per person) and isn’t too different than the dinner menu. I find It’all leans more Korean so you can satisfy any all-you-can-eat Korean craving without leaving smelling of meat and smoke that’s typical of trips to all-you-can-eat Korean grills. There are some nice soups, vegetables and lots of hot Korean dishes at buffet stations. Be sure to grab a popsicle (imported from Asia) on your way out.
