I placed an order through Uber Eats tonight. Not my first order from them which is why I decided to order again. BIG mistake!!!! Huge! Tried to contact Uber Eats and also posted photos? I ordered gyoza (6) &6..49. COLD!
ShrimpDumplings (4) $5.49....COLD
Beef Ribs Bowl $16.49...also cold
Miso soup........very small portion. $2.49 not warm!
Hot and sour soup.....very small portion....$3.49. Or even warm.
I will never again order from Uber
Eats again. Nor will I order from August 8 again.

We've been here two times now and we're surprised both times. What I really like about August 8 is that you can get both dim sum and sushi. Do note however dim sum does tend to be heavy so I do feel that you do get full easily but I love that you can order as much as you want since I believed him some to be one of my favorite foods. The second time we came here, we did notice that there were new items such as their sushi Taco which was really good. This place has a huge selection of food with a very cravable dim sum dishes such as their char siu bao and tripe. And their sushi quality

Extremely busy Saturday night, but the food was really yummy and fresh. The timing on food being brought to the table was back and forth. Sometimes extremely quickly and other times not. Took 25 minutes for 1 hand roll. Also forgot to bring us some of our items. But the freshness is what saved this review.

Second visit to August 8 and it was just as good as my first visit. The service is prompt and attentive and they never forget any items when you order AYCE. The rolls are perfectly bite sized and easy to eat compared to some sushi restaurants where the rolls are hard to eat in one bite. The tenderloin and mushrooms and short ribs are delicious. Unique sushi tacos too! The salmon sashimi was excellent and fresh.

Firstly thanks to @august8 for this wonderful promotion! Free lunch! I so appreciate it! I gave a whooping rating of 4/5 stars !!
Ambiance 4/5- I love that there are glass partitions in place . I felt safe good job on this one . Four stars coz it's a little cramp for my liking but it feels intimate also. I came with my mom and 2 kids.
Taste 5/5- especially the salmon guys!!! It's a must try!! Off course who can go wrong with sushi? Right? The oil they used on the tempura seems to be fresh tasting.
Customer Service -4.5/5 - Towards the end of our dining experience,it got slower..lol

Ordered takeout from here. I have to say I feel like the quality in their takeout isn't as great as eating in person. I found the rolls less full than other sushi places I've tried in the area. The shrimp on the dynamite roll seemed a bit dry, which was unfortunate. Overall the taste of the food was pleasant so I will say I was happy with the order!
The hot and sour soup was great, and the portion was large / worth the money in my opinion.
What I like about August 8 is the variety of menu items. I was excited to try the dynamite tacos which come in a small hard shell - if you haven

This place really slaps. I've ordered from August 8 in Oakville around 10 times and haven't been disappointed. Their sashimi is really thick, rice is always fresh, and their tempura is super light. Also a huge fan of their tacos. Would recommend their spicy salmon rolls as well....really good. Tried their fried chicken bites for the first time and just like the rest of the menu it is absolutely FUEGO. Keep it up August 8 in Oakville

1. Outrageously over priced ($150 for 4 people total kids 10,14)
2. Terrible service (except when you call for the bill)
3. They intentionally avoid bringing you the more expensive items you ordered in the hopes that you will forget about them (happened to us on the last 2 visits at dinner time when it's most expensive and they have the full menu)
We've been eating here for the last 9 years. It's gone straight downhill in the last 3 months!
Avoid this place.

Yikes. Was not impressed at all with this AYCE sushi restaurant. I've been to the Burlington location as well, but didn't experience the same level of dissatisfaction as I did here in Oakville.
My friend and I visited for the lunch all-you-can-eat menu, which I would consider to be a tad more expensive than other AYCE sushi places I've been too ($20.99 plus tax). They DO NOT accept debit, which is worth mentioning because if you aren't prepared or expecting that- you might be in a jam.
They provide tablets for you to order at your own leisure, but half of the menu didn&apos

We went there on a Sunday at 1pm and were told it would be a 45 minute.
The girl Hostess seemed like she really hated her job .
She gave us a table after 30min wait . a both at no time did she have any common sense that I was to big for a both and I would not fit .
I even had to explain why I could not fit .
They gave us a iPad to order that did not work seems to be a common issue with other reviewers .
Tea cups were all chipped .
Food came out fast but quality was not there .
Hand rolls had lots of rice but little fish .
That was the same for all the other suchi lots of rice

I had a really bad experience at the Bramalea City Centre location which made it my first and last visit at the location. Infact, the Oakville location was the exact opposite and had a great experience. I went at around 5pm which was perfect time because I didn't have to wait for a table and the service was fast.
We were taken care by Emma, she was our server and thumbs up to her. We had ordered many different sushi, sashimi and grilled items. My favourite was the torched salmon with crispy tempura, crab, cucumber and avocado in it. I ended up ordering 2 of each!!

We visited August 8 for the first time last week. The restaurant is quite large, clean and nicely decorated.
We had to wait about 5-10 minutes for a table at 1 p.m. on a weekday, which I took as a good sign!
We were seated and our drink order was taken promptly. We perused the iPad and submitted our order.
The food came out quickly and most of it tasted pretty good. It was fairly standard fare for an all-you-can-eat Japanese/dim sum restaurant. The teriyaki/teppanyaki chicken and beef dishes were a bit overcooked and dry, but the flavour was good. The soups were a bit bland, but not bad. The
