Thanks for the comment - I was there last week for my third time against my co-wokers request to try it again.. yes it has improved some what but sill sub par ..my comments and thumbs downs is for the comments made from no question - the ownwer/manager/family comenting on the food and how great it is .. its still sub par and that is why I do not like comments from the owners telling me how great they are.. I hope that is not a problem ..just being honest ..

Perhaps Ann pilcher (sic) and Crazy mat could enlighten us as to what they actually ate? It would make this web site, oh, I don"t know " less boring". The did eat there didn't they? Or are they just shilling for the owners? Or are they the owners?

I have been to Bai Du around 4 times and i'll have to say it has gotten better since they first started.
I came here when it first opened and I expected more out of it. There werent as many items compared to their competitors (sushi kan, 168 sushi, etc) and the service wasn't all that great.
A couple months later, I decided to give this place another chance so I went with my girlfriend for dinner. I was surprised by how much it changed. They expanded their menu to over 200 menu items, they got rid of their super tacky uniform and the service improved quite a bit.
I couldn't believe how much the restaurant had hanged until I went a couple more times. The food tasted fresher than before but they still had a couple mistakes here and there (cold food, wrong orders). The service is a lot better than before but they do seem to be under staffed at some points during their service (especially on the weekends). Other than that,I would say that Bai Du is a must try.
Overall, I find Bai Du alot better than its competitors and for around the same price, I'd prefer to have more menu items to choose from. I recommend giving this place a try the next time you plan on going out for sushi.

My dear JDK, to suprisingly and accidentally see your promptly reply here. I totally understand your feeling. But me, as a normal person, with your "less than 3 hours" super fast reply, I would like to know who will keep his eye on such a boring website like here and respond me in a unimaginable speed.
Yes, honestly, you are not the only person that gave negative evaluation to this restaurant. But please act like a gentleman with your generous mind - that every business has its growth from the most inexperienced beginning to mature. An unperfect start with hard working can still have a flawless end. There is not need for you to take such poisonous attack on them to satisify your illness mentality.
I did have heard about some undesirable rumors after this restaurant just opened. But the recent dinner experience I brough back from there was excellent. The elegant decoration and tasteful food can definitely beat up most of other sushi restaurants.
You will only get the treasure when you go and dig it. I strongly suggest you to go there and have another try. And then come back here to have further discussion, otherwise it is just a wasting of our time.

I went to baidu last week with my friends. In my opinion, most foods on menu are good. Also, they add many new items on menu after they changing menu. More choices on rolls like Asian roll and Seafood volcano Roll are attractive. Even if they lost one or two order sometimes, that is fine. It always happens in All you can eat. In addition, after I reading some reviews on top, I think their taste of food and level of service are improving. Their food are not bad like someone say. I will come back to try different items with my friends.

great food and service.
They've changed their menu in may, which brings out more items(over 200). I love their special rolls: baidu roll(fruit)and seafood volcano rolls(all kinds of seafood and cream cheese).
Another great thing is that all soft drinks are include in the all you can eat price.Refill was always fast and fresh.
I will definetly come back again with my friends.

In a word, avoid.
Really enjoy Korean style food and table bbq. Went here for lunch and happily paid the extra to sit at a table bbq. That's where the positives ended, table bbq option was available.
Ordered the beef spare rib and unfortunately the meats that were presented were not edible. We ate the little bits of meat that were present, as most of it was fat and left the remains on the plate. When the waiter returned to pick up our plates he asked if why we didn't eat the beef ribs but he was surprised when we stated that we had already cooked and ate what was edible and the plate of remains were bone and fat.
This soured the rest of the dining experience which consisted of mostly uninspired items.
Might give this place another try in a few months as I really do enjoy good table bbq and this is the only west end option available that I'm aware of. Shudder at the thought of having to drive through that construction downtown on Rideau to get my fix at Korean Garden.

I have never written a review for a restourant before but because a friend of ours decided not to come to this restourant because of the two reviews I made it my goal to sign up and give an honest review. So here goes: the styling of this place is more like a nightclub then a restourant the booths are red / pinkish leather and there are huge chandeliers above, but there is normal booths along the windows aswell if you don't want to feel like your on the set of scarface. As for the food, we got everything we ordered within about 15 mins which is not bad given the amount of food we ordered. There is also a buffet with pre cooked stuff on the side so you have something to munch on while you wait on your order (all inclusive in one price). Everything that we ordered pre cooked tasted good. The uncooked meat for the table BBQ however is un-seasoned raw meat but they bring you different sauces to experiment with, so make sure you use lots of the sauce or else the meat will taste kind of plain. Overall the selection variety is very good, the food tasted great (if you prepare it right) and I would recommend this place to others, but not too often, because it is all you can eat and that might cause problems in the long run :p
