August 8 Hamilton in Hamilton

Food was amazing, affordable and the staff were helpful when letting me know about foods that had allergens in them! If you go here, you NEED to try their Sponge Cake! trust me, its life changing! Vegetarian options: They offer plenty of vegetarian options! Dietary restrictions: They will be aware of any food allergies you mention to them.

Great time had by all

I would rather eat out of my dog s food bowl than eat at this establishment

Came here late at night to dine in, the food was amazing and our server Randy was phenomenal. He was very attentive and helpful. Would definitely come back and recommend!

Great service

When I went to August 8 for their all you can eat sushi we were greeted by a staff member named Randy who was extremely helpful answering any questions regarding the lunch and dinner menu, the food overall was extremely delicious and fresh and our bussers Jade, crystal and most notably Carter were extremely quick and efficient when bringing and clearing food from our table, the environment was extremely clean and was very welcoming, looking forward to the next visit!

I had an amazing experience with Zoe as my server! He s very kind and attentive. He spoke to us about our drinks options and the food they offer and made the dining experience so nice :)

Great service and nice place to eat our server chyra was amazing

Nice place to get Dinner the Server Chyra was so nice

This place is amazing, and this person i met who is a waiter his name is Randy has amazing and exceptional service!

Food had gone downhill dramatically. They don t have a bunch of the stuff on their menu. Their mango salad had 3 small slices of mango and all cabbage. The flavours have gone downhill. The steak they had to serve was cold. Servers were nice and promo but didn t take away empty dishes, left piling up when they brought out new food. What happened here used to love coming here but it s just a waste of time and money now

Good

Very good, I eat more

Service was just as amazing as the food was.

We spent 107.5 for two people and they didnt give me a refill of coke and forced me to pay extra tip. This is the worst experience I have had since 2018. My friends and I will never come back.

They gave me a wonderful culinary experience. The food is very delicious and worth the money

The food is delicious and the staff is very supportive

I have never found such a delicious sushi restaurant

I really cant express how satisfied I was when I came to this sushi restaurant. Each piece of sushi was prepared meticulously, the ingredients were fresh and of the highest quality. The salmon was soft, sweet and melted in my mouth, the sushi rice was just the right amount of sticky and the vinegar taste was very satisfying.

Sushi food is delicious and suitable for everyones taste.

Everyone should come here because the food is very delicious and worth coming to try

Completely satisfied with the wonderful and eye catching sushi dishes

Excellent sushi, rarely eaten such good ones

It was so wonderful when I came here to eat and was warmly welcomed with eye-catching dishes

The variety of dishes attracts diners and their food cannot be faulted because it is so delicious 9/10

August 8 is my favourite AYCE Sushi chain and this location doesnt disappoint either. Fresh sushi and delicious hot dishes.

Pretty good all you can eat options and the service was lovely and competent. I did get a few bad bites of salmon however so had to dock a point.

The sushi was good but the service wasn t great. The servers were not so engaging while serving the food. We don t expect a lot but a smile wouldn t hurt. I had to ask for napkins three times before i could get it, it didn t feel nice. I feel like servers could be more nice to the people who dine there. We got like three servers because we were a big group but most of them were rude. We were not so satisfied with the customer service. please take care of your services according to what you are charging people.If we are paying to be there we would expect to have a welcoming environment.

I was not a big fan of the food and the service of the waiter wasnt so pleasing. When we asked for tissue they bought it after like 20 minutes. We told our order to 3 different waiter and asked them for water too but somehow all of them forget to bring water and they bought it when we were about to leave. Didnt liked customer service at all.

Terrible place never go especially this location

Sushi was ok for an all you can eat. Service was good and efficient.

Grabbed some Mami beens for the kiddo. She loves them

For an AYCE, quality and flavor is wonderful. Washroom is questionable

I love this place. A la carte dishes are huge.

Disappointed and regretful lunch at this August 8 location. 5 items were unavailable 3 of which were the reason why I went here instead of other locations. That s a large portion of the menu since lunch is limited. Service was meh. Staff don t seem like they wanted to be there. Very dull and disappointing experience.

One of the best sushi places in Hamilton !

This is the second time we have done lunch time here and the food again, failed our expectations. Salmon was chewy and rubbery, the sauce for the spicy salmon was better than the last time (which felt like it coated the inside of our mouths with a weird film, almost as if it went bad). Staff are nice but thats about it. Also, why did my beef skewer look like the skewer broke while piercing the meat but was used anyways? I didnt feel slivers of the skewer until it was in my throat.

Love this restaurant! Everyone is always so nice and the vibe is great!

This Susshi restaurant not only has delicious sushi but also has a cozy, comfortable space. The food is prepared very meticulously, each sushi roll is rich and fresh. The staff is always friendly and enthusiastic, making me feel very satisfied. The price is reasonable compared to the quality, it is worth a try. This is definitely my new favorite sushi restaurant!

The sushi is fresh and delicious, the flavor is authentic Japanese, and the presentation of the dishes is also very beautiful. The space of the talisman will be spacious, bringing a feeling of relaxation when enjoying the meal. Vincent is friendly, the service is quick and attentive. Will definitely come back to enjoy more new dishes!

Sushi is truly a must-visit place for those who love sushi. I really like the way the dishes here are prepared and presented, fresh and very eye-catching. The space is spacious, airy and comfortable. The staff is extremely cute, attentive and enthusiastic. This is definitely my new favorite sushi place and will introduce it to my friends to experience!

Everyone is nice, this August 8 Hamilton store is the best!

The sushi here is absolutely perfect! The fish is fresh, the rice is soft, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. I tried many different types of sushi and everything was great, especially the salmon sushi, which was extremely soft and fatty. The space is also very comfortable and the service is attentive. This will definitely be my new favorite sushi place.

A great sushi experience! The sushi is made from the freshest ingredients. The fish is very fresh, no fishy smell, the rice is rolled well and seasoned well. I especially like the sashimi here, the fish is thick and fresh. The service is fast and friendly, will definitely come back often!

If you are a sushi lover, this is heaven for you. I have tried many sushi restaurants, but none have reached the excellent quality as here. The seafood is extremely fresh, and the sushi is prepared perfectly. The space is elegant, suitable for both dates and meeting friends. Especially, I was very impressed with the affection of the service staff.

This sushi restaurant is truly one of the best places I have ever been to. The quality of the food is impeccable, the sushi is fresh and skillfully prepared. I especially love the sushi rolls with their creative and varied flavors. The staff is attentive, always enthusiastic to advise and support. The restaurant space is very beautiful, clean and cozy.

We came in a group of 5 and we were all happy with our results!

first time back at AYCE place since around COVID. The quality was better than I expected. Thick sashimi cuts were provided, and sushi pieces had good balance of rice and fish. Rolls were ok, and the meat dishes were tender. Dim sum is not something I will order again tho.

best best best service ever thank you so much Ekin

Went here planning to dine. The AC was out and the cost was still the same. Walked out.

You know when you order a teriyaki dish because you got a craving? You drizzle the sauce and take a bite and then BAMM HP sauce... Anyways the rest of the food was mediocre and all i wanted was teriyaki so 1 star because i need to remind myself not to return.

We never got the right dishes, food wasn t as good as other August 8 locations. Not very good service.

Our waiter, Randy, was very patient with us as we fumbled with our order on the tablet. He went over and beyond to accommodate us. The food was fresh and delicious. Well be back.

Never disappoints!

MOLD I ordered the petit eclair on uber eats and I threw them right away. I will be reporting this location to Health Canada!

Service was good, smaller than other August 8 Ive been to. Atmosphere gets a 4 only because the night my wife and I went, the music kept repeating the same 4 Katy Perry songs for some reason. Other than that, cant go wrong with August 8

Ekin! What an amazing host! This guy is talented. Our kids love him.

I love how they add new menu items every so often Great service Delicious food Food : 4/5

Took my friend out for her birthday. Food & service was amazingggg! Ive been here few times already & I still love it! If you wanna go here, visit during lunch around 12noon so you can find parking because they get full super fast. Lots of food options and yes its eat-all-you-can Steak was sooo tender & juicy! Love it! Spring rolls are a little bit under cook but still okay. Service timing is right on the dot, pleasant and amazing! Affordable, clean & fresh food they serve unlike any other buffet restaurant. Parking: Come lunch time around 12 noon to secure parking spot.

Wonderful and always worth a visit.

Good fast and fresh. Great lunch menu! Food

Had the all you can eat menu. Everything was marvelous. Food

Deff going back!

We had wonderful time. Nothing to complain about.

This is the original restaurant that started it all. First time back to this one in many years. Sushi was excellent and the servers were friendly and attentive. Parking: Park across the street on Wilson. City lot. Expensive but convenient and close.

Sadly this spot has gone down in quality and menu choices

Great food and service provided by very friendly and professional staff . Tatiana took pleasure in serving our party.

His name was Ali super caring and good service

My friend almost got robbed here but the employees stepped in and help my friends and I out. They treated us with care, protection and kindness. I am forever greatful for them! Thank u august 8 employees!

Used to be a good place but due to the last visit and I mean last visit previous visits the wife and I have talked to the manager about her in ability to consume too much rice so she eats the salmon but leaves the rice this time some new manager comes out and says nope thats waste and if you do that you will be charged extra I said the old manager was fine with it he and pushing his chest out I am the only manager and if you want Salmon without rice you must order from the dinner menu witch is way more money so this place has lost 2 customers see ya

Fantastic as always

I go to August 8 at least once a month on the mountain before it got burned down and the one by the theater. And I say both had better food from taste and consistency. It also didnt had couple things I usually have.

Quite simply the best All you can eat in Hamilton. The cuisine is Cantonese style Dim-Sum and Japanese Sushi. The food is delicious and the service was great but most of all one can really do justice to the food. If All you can eat is something you enjoy, then definitely give August 8 a try.

Joined my friends late and my food came super super fast! Love the iPad ordering. Would highly recommend.

Had a wonderful New Years with friends here. The dining experience was memorable!

Didnt love the spicy salmon roll. I was chewy part of the salmon and too much rice for the amount of salmon. The reste was delicious.

Grate food

Not the best place. Staff are rude.

Great place to dine. Excellent food

if i could rate a zero i would. normally like the food, but this time food came cold. i almost broke my tooth on a rock in the rice bowl.

Food was good but they didn t give me money back, took it for a tip without asking

At first, being the first ones in house, I was being a sort of Kevin Nguyen and going to let the dusty/dirty ledges and floor beside our seating area bother me.. but, after having enjoyed the delicious food served by Ekin and Ali with their friendly attitudes and manners, I am 100% Happy with my visit. I dont even care about my previous observation/complaint. This First Time visit to Hamilton August 8 was well worth the 1+ hour travel time. I saw a TikTok video on Hamilton August 8 and how there were special items available exclusively at this location. Although none of the promoted items were not available, I am not that disappointed. The lunch selection was adequate and well prepared and served. Would I drive 1+ hours again to dine here? Absolutely!! As a regular patron of the downtown Toronto Chinatown location, I find the Hamilton location a very refreshing and enjoyable experience that I intend to make a regular part of my dining curriculum. Thank you guys!! Great job!! You just helped secure 3 new regular customers!!

We only have 50 minutes in the place and the server close the bill before ask! The time for eat is 1:30 hours!

Nicee place lov it

Great food ,service was exellnt

Fast, Clean, Friendly

Amazing food! great service, the only bad thing I can say is they dont have the serving license for alcohol, I just so happen to be looking forward for a drink that night. Wheelchair accessibility: Is wheelchair accessible

called at 10:30 beforehand to see if they would still take dine-in for ayce, they said yes and that their last call is 11:15. drove to the restaurant and walked in at 10:40 only to be told by the hostess that they close in 15 minutes and they cant seat us. bummer! please make sure your employees are telling people the correct info, unfortunately dont know if well be back to try the actual food.

Nice sushi all you can eat. Good lunch time selection.

Good spot

Vegetarian options: Wide variety of veggie-based sushi rolls Parking: Small parking lot in front of the building, but many paid parking lots within walking distance. Food : 5/5 |

Why y all so lazy? So many people complain about how lazy you guys are, just give us what we actually order stop missing items everytime. It s a constant complain by many people that you guys can t fix. Fix your chef staff because they re too lazy to put everything on the rolls. For example got a princess roll and there s no sauce on it and one is missing cream cheese on it, not a big deal but this keeps happening and I know many other people who could say the same. Just give us what we payed for it s annoying even if it s the sauce that s SUPPOSED to be on it. It s not a custom item either why is it so hard? Give us what the item says and shows please and stop being lazy. Missing items are worth a lot especially for ordering out.

I had a splendid time here! Tom was our server for the night and he was very polite. Our busser Chris was also a delight and very funny. Would recommend and come again.

Extremely disappointing experience. there is no customer service - yet they reserve the right to add gratuity for large groups. They dont take verbal orders but have these tablets which no one explains to you how to you. Have of the food you order, does not seem to reach the kitchen. They make these rolls which dont even fit into your mouth, really? first and last time at this place. two-thumbs down.

Not really good. Didnt have what I was try to dinning, jambo _big size of Oyster, so I got recommended to other Restaurants called,. SQ_BORN & Raised, I decided to visit.

My partner and I decided to treat ourselves. Two rolls were missing from our order. When we called the restaurant they said there s nothing they can do and they re sure they packed the two rolls in our bag. They were not kind nor helpful in the situation, did not offer a refund for the amount of the two rolls or to remake them for us which we would ve happily gone to pick up, as both of us have worked in the restaurant industry we understand that sometimes things like this can happen. We are very upset. We do not have the money to eat out often and we were excited to treat ourselves.

Excellent food, great service

Food was scrumdidly

Had a good time with my family and the servers were really nice and paid attention.

Crazy fast service. Got my hand roll in less than a minute

The best sushi always

Great service, food good as always :)

By far the best August 8 location in hamilton, servers are so kind and the food was great

My gf and I came on a Saturday night for dinner. We made a reservation and were seated quickly. The staff were very friendly. We ordered from their buffet menu and the food came out quickly. Everything was fresh and tasted excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant

Excellent Food and service. My 8 year old daughter always picks this place when we give her a choice.

Excellent food!

Great experience. Salmon Sashimi was really good. Servers were great, and food came out very quickly

Good

Great experience

I showed up with a friend at 8:20 on Sunday night. The host refused to seat us saying the kitchen closed at 8:45. We were like ok that gives us thirty minutes to order and we were regulars so we knew exactly what we wanted. They just kept repeating the same thing. There were still a lot of people there but we had to leave. So don t go there with less than forty minutes cause they are too lazy to let you in.

Wonderful service and food.

Came in an hour before closing on a Saturday night but the staff were absolutely lovely, friendly & attentive. Food was yummy, good sushi and decent animal-free options. There was even a vegetarian section of the menu that showed the veggie options from all the other categories in one section, very handy.

If you look at all the ridiculous prices of foods out there ? This would be the best bang for your buck. Fresh minus the heating tables.

We came in 45 minutes before last call. Our experience was kind of ruined by one of servers VACUUMING near us while we ate! The food and service were decent.

August 8 has always had the best ayce in the area. The quality is good and service is always better. The team is a hardworking team that share the tables and work together. They have great knowledge of their products and understanding of the flow. Good work The food is always good and a safe bet. Weekends have more options and great variety. The torched options are fantastic and the pairing of the sauces taste great. Highly recommend the torched rolls, dim sum and fried squid!

Always order here via Uber. We have only had one issue and it was handled politely and efficiently. Until today, our issue was handled very poorly over the phone. The woman on the phone was rude and told me I needed to take up an issue with uber even though the restaurant was the issue. Following that, the woman hung up on me. Unfortunate that this was the service I received for a long term customer.

What a great dinning experience we were very pleased and the price was perfect for all that we ate and we ordered 48 items. Dietary restrictions: With every introduction they ask if there are any dietary restrictions and they take this very seriously.

Dinner was pretty good and very friendly service

Amazing food.

Their fish tasted very fishy, but they didnt admit it, and charging an extra $20 for five pieces of unedible salmon was totally unreasonable at any buffet Ive ever eaten

Great food and amazing service....Will be back!

Be advised that is you wish to order A la carte you wont be able to sit with the rest of your family and the music will be too loud to hear any conversation from their table. Very annoying.

Typically go to the location up the mountain it was super busy so we thought wed give this one a chance, called ahead and booked a table. Was a party of 3. Out for a girls night. Seat was ripped and taped when we sat down. Was not greeted by a server once we sat down at the table. Had to call the server 3 times for water. Was missing items and had to ask for them. Steak was tough, our tampera items were soggy, dumplings were super gross and felt microwaved. We were extremely disappointed and will not be returning. Would give half a star if possible. Food was also taken away before we were finished

This sushi place is one of my top picks. They serve food on fancy plates, and the portions are just right. After you order, they bring your food quickly. Plus, their ice cream servings are big and tasty. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian section on their menu.

Excellent service, fresh flavours as well. Seaweed salad had a great bounce and dressed well. Miso soup is always a win for me. I love the spicey tuna roll the panko shrimp could have been served warmer but over all great experience. Thank you staff

Me and a group of friends went for the all ypu can eat dinner. The prices were about what you can expect to pay for an all you can eat buffet but the food was fresh and came out rather quickly. There was lots to choose from and the service was great! I will definitely be coming back soon!

Got charged for holiday price even though I dine in on 4th of January???? Staff said because it is a holiday period for 2 weeks and cant do anything ???? Not even have any posters about holiday periods price on the door just posted on the website on second-page banner!!! For me this is considered scam.

I went on Jan 2 , it s not holiday but got holiday charged . They don t have any good reason , they just said holiday price until 7 Dec You should let customer know about the price when call for reservation or walk in. - Washroom very dirty .

Great food, attentive staff. The tables are a bit crowded. We went on Dec 22, when a higher price came into effect because of the holidays. I knew that in advance, but it was an expensive evening. Food : 5/5

Okay so normaly my girlfriend and I love August 8 and have eaten there quite a lot. But last time might be the very last time with the service we got.. When the waiter came to take our drink order, we told him about our avocado allergi and ask for a sweet potato substitute, which to always do. First big tray of sushi came in, all with avocado.. We called the waiter and told we just informed him about the allergi, he said nothing, just took the tray back into the kitchen, 1 minut later he came back with a new tray, so no harm right? Problem is we started feeling really sick, having issues breathing and I called him and asked if they had made a new batch for us.. Nope they just removed the avocado and replaced it.. So they cross contaminated the food with something we are highly allergic to, we both had to get out fast to get help. I mean wft is the point of them asking for allergi if they do something like this? We were sick for days after, it would have been really bad if we didnt stop eating the sushi. Absolut the worse experience we ever had.. I reached out shortly after to figure this out, not wanting to make any issues for them, but its been 2 months with no answer.. So im making this post, hoping they will react.

Great take out!

When you ask for water you should just get it yourself cause they aint bringing it.

It was nice experience but for food I found that other place In Toronto is a little bit more better but the average of this place will be 4 stars for me
