This place is a pretty decent AYCE location. For the people reading this, not I don't eat raw fish, but my dad and brother did and they thought it was good. It looked fresh (we went at 12 noon) and we saw them taking fish filets from the back and bringing them out front.
What I can say after trying a bit of everything, the food is pretty good. It's definitely on par with many other sushi locations in the GTA, however it does not exceed or fall behind any, it's simply generic. The dumplings were what I would expect, the won ton soup was flavourful and basic, what I did really enjoy that other restaurants may be lacking, the tempura was super light and crispy.
Service was good. The server wasn't very people friendly, but she was still polite and attentive. It was getting busy as we were leaving and she was serving about 6 tables on her own, and seems to have done a good job doing it.
The place looked tidy and the decor was typical. If they put a little into lightening the place up I'm sure it may have more of an appeal. From the second we parked the dark brown was kind of a downer.
Anyway, I don't live in the area, but if I was back in Georgina or Keswick I'd pop in. Can't really beat a $13 AYCE lunch. -

Incredibly and shockingly rude employees, has gone downhill over the years.
My sister and our boyfriend's have been coming to Wind for at least 5yrs, the service used to be amazing. There was a waitress named "keny" and she was always so sweet, well mannered, and made sure you felt welcomed and taken care of every time we went without fail.
Now days, there is constantly employees sleeping in the dining area and the new waitress is always rude, throws your food down on the table, never asks how the food is, never asks if you need a refill of water. I've let it slide many times just because it's the only AYCE place in Keswick but not this time.
Today was the last time I will EVER walk foot in this restaurant and I use the term "restaurant" loosely. We had just walked in, barely got greeted by the miserable waitress, she then told us we couldn't sit in the corner booth on one side of the room cuz someone was "sitting" there but really it was someone sleeping, so my sister proceeded to walk to the other corner booth and realized another employee was also sleeping there too, so we sat in the middle.
The woman employee sleeping in the booth next to us then proceeded to yell at our group and tell us to "sit somewhere else! I'm sleeping here!" We we're so utterly shocked and almost speechless. My boyfriend asked her if she lived at the restaurant because we're paying customers. She left it at that and then proceeded to play loud music on her phone out of spite because she didn't like us talking beside her...even the other rude waitress seemed to be telling her to stop. At one point this lady sleeping nudged my sister with her foot!
Please see pictures of the 2 unprofessional employees sleeping in the dining room. Never in my life have I received such horrible service. Will be finding a new sushi place in Newmarket! Boycott this place by all means! Do not give them your money! You can find better sushi and service elsewhere!
P.S. I wrote a review in Oct 2016 below uNder the name "Dee K", what a drastic negative difference over the past 2-3yrs. -

Not a fan at all. Service is mediocre, the food is bland and the sushi comes out warm every single time.
I've tried going here on many occasions giving them more then their fair share of tries but they never exceeded my expectation.
I've also read this place has had a few citations with health and safety so that's a little sketch.
Overall for what you pay the quality just isn't there. I would rather pay the same for less at a non all you can eat sushi place as long as I know the quality is there.
I love good sushi and I am sad this has fallen short. -

I've been to this sushi place very many times as it is the only AYCE in the area and it started out as an average restaurant and I had no complaints, but in the past couple years it has gone very much down hill. The waiters are extremely rude and not welcoming at all, they sleep in the booths near customers during restaurant hours, and they falsely advertise their store hours and make customers leave at 9:00pm or earlier instead of 10:00pm. These comments are from personal experiences, me and my family were having sushi and it was around 9pm and we were told we had to leave the restaurant because they were closing, then when we said that there store hours said 10pm they told us we had to leave anyways and made us pay and leave. Another time we had been told we could not sit in the booth we usually sit in because an employee was sleeping, then we had to settle and sit beside a different employee who was also sleeping in another booth and we had gotten yelled at by that employee for being too loud while she was sleeping in the booth beside us, she said "shh!! Be quiet I am trying to sleep here!!" Overall, the presentation of this restaurant is pathetic and very unprofessional, the waiters are rude, they take your menus when you aren't finished with them, they bring you warm water, the food is not fresh at all, and they sleep and get paid to sleep. It is very unacceptable and I will never go back here again because myself and my family have had enough of the poor service and food. It is not worth it to go to a restaurant and pay to get treated bad as well.

We thought to order light sushi takeout for dinner. Some of the dinner party does not like to eat shrimp, crab, or any shellfish. So why eat sushi you ask? Well, one, I can my kind of sushi next time; two, they still want their sushi cravings to be satisfied; and three, I was not that hungry, so I didn't mind not having my sushi galore moment.
What did we order then? Eel sushi and white tuna sushi; spicy and original tuna and salmon rolls; wontons and vegetable tempuras (broccoli, yam, eggplant, mushrooms, and onion).
The fish were fresh. The spicy rolls were tasty, of course, not as spicy as I would like, but it's doable. The rice portion is okay for the roll. The rice portion for the sushi pieces were a bit more than I usually get from other restaurants. I like the fish portion to be 3 to 4mm thick as supposed to 2mm. I know this sounds silly since the difference is only 1mm but when you see the difference, then you would be nitpicking it, too. The rice is just to balance the taste, lol, that's why I don't want it much. Yes, I know there is sashimi, of course, but I didn't order this time.
Over all, I give this restaurant a four because I've been to worse restaurants but Wind is better than most sushi restaurants operating in smaller town/city outside of the GTA. Fresh fish, check. Rice is plump and soft, check. Creativity in preparation of the rolls, half-check. Way edible, check check. Would I go again if I'm in the area, yes and will be checked.
