August8 - Brampton

Good food. Wonderful ambience. Fast service. What else could you ask for? Ummm...more vegetarian options maybe. PRIMARILY A SUSHI PLACE BUT TRY THE PIZZA HERE. Out of handful of vegetarian options I ordered their pizza(see picture)Oh boy what a pizza it was. Unique and delicious. Was made of rice probably. Was mini sized slices and quantity was ok. The Pina Colada(picture) was amazing too. Thanks. Happy Eating

Beautiful new restaurant where spring rolls used to be. Every table has an ipad mini to order from. Similar menu to other AYCE places but more dim sum offerings. Try the steamed custard bun for dessert! Dinner was 28.99 on a friday... So quite a bit more than good ol' 168. Will probably return every now and then for the dim sum and atmosphere... but 168 still is the best value for money.

Sometimes you have an AYCE sushi craving. Other times it's dim sum. At August 8, you can dine on both! Since inception in Hamilton, it has caught on with locations creeping into the GTA. We visited the newish restaurant at Bramalea Mall. The mall has been revamped to give it a bit of class. The eye-catching August 8 wall is hard to miss. Took some time to be seated inside the restaurant, which has multiple dining areas with unique decors. Tablet ordering is efficient, though ours wasn't initially setup till we asked. The assortment of platters quickly arrived however. Sashimi, siu mai, dumplings buns portions were small. Guess that's quite ideal for average quality AYCE. A few other highlights: Scallops were mildly sweet plump in the sashimi and salad appetizer. Avoid the taco calamari which were over-fried dry. The torched sushi rainbow roll with salmon, snapper, tuna and butterfish had terrific flavour from the sweet soy sauce hint of smokiness. The aburi sushi selection was equally tasty. Better than plain rice bowls that were ordered by a few other tables! For birthdays, they gave a special slice of mille cake which we enjoyed with several layers of crepe and ice cream. My wife quite liked the meal so we came back as soon as we were able to dine-in post-pandemic lockdown when one of us craved for sushi and the other for dim sum.

Dre @aug8restaurant: We were very confused when we saw this restaurant take the place of where Spring Rolls used to be at Bramalea City Centre. We thought the new restaurant was opening on August 8th, but then we found out it was the actual name of the restaurant! It didn't make it clearer when it did actually open sometime close to August 8. I think it was either a couple weeks before or after.

I consistently have good experiences here aside from the occasional ipad malfunction. The food comes out hot, and usually within a good time span after sending your order off to the main kitchen. A very trustworthy addition to BCC's food family.
