I've been here 3 or 4 times, and always found the food to be amazing! The staff is very helpful and the restaurant itself has quite a unique design. Truly Japanese owners, staff and chef makes this place the best and most authentic experience that you can have in Ottawa. I've never had better Japanese food in this city. I can hardly wait to try the izakaya menu!
One of the best Japanese food places in the city. I don't go there near as much as I'd like. The food is beyond great.
Quite pricey (based on the portions), but overall very tasty! All the appetizers were delicious and seasoned perfectly. Service was great and overall ambience was comfortable!
The sushi was phenomenal with its high quality, fresh fish. I’m talking sushi-grade fish cut with precision and skill served at the right temperature. The perfectly acidified sushi rice was served at body temperature – the way it should be – for proper texture and flavour. This really makes a difference!
We are regulars here and always look forward to eating at the Sushi bar where we can watch their talented chef doing what he does best. This is by far the best Sushi in the entire city, owned and run for forty years by a Japanese family. The private rooms are also a great place too dine for moderately sized groups. Try the chef's choice at the bar and you won't be disappointed. Their draft japanese beer is also ice cold, so it makes a great stop for the after work crowd.
Entering this restaurant made me feel like i was out of canada and in japan. I have to say, It was a fun experience having lunch here. Service was great, very helpful and patient as well they have dry asahi , one of my favorite drinks. We had the kamakazi and eb-ni (sorry if it's misspelled) it was delicious also the lunch set menu. While others took the salmon dish in which they commented it was pretty good I had the tempura dish which was ok but I guess it's not my cup of tea. I should remove tempura off of my diet . But all in all it was a cool time spent :)
Had a happy server who was patient with a very large order and delivered a great meal. The sushi was extremely fresh and the tempura tried was absolutely delicious. Only been once, but hope to amend to 5 stars after trying more options
Absolutely wonderfully run, came here during a vacation and it is by far one of the best Japanese restaurants here. Service is wonderful, lots of them are fluent in japanese, food is excellent, but slightly pricey (very worth the price though), I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.
As someone who lived in Japan I can vouch that the sushi and other traditional Japanese dishes are spot on. I highly recommend booking one of the private rooms downstairs which are very traditional with the sunken tables (make sure to take off your shoes before you enter these rooms)

High quality and delicious!. Been here a couple of times, service and food is consistent and delicious. Portions are filling, menu is a bit pricey, but from what I hear from the servers, they have items delivered from Japan. I've had some of the sushi, ramen lunch set, and their weekly specials make each visit a new experience. The cooks are Japanese, and the interior design and setting is romantic and fun.
If you want more for your buck, definitely go at lunch time with a reservation! I've seen them turn people away because there was just no tables available for walk ins at lunch.
Fresh and delicious. My favorite restaurant

Awesome authentic Japanese food and awesome service. We will definitely come again❤️
The restaurant has private rooms downstairs. The kids just love it so much.
For dinner, you may need reservation as it is very popular. (On Saturday, We called in at 6pm, but it was full at the moment so we booked the table at 8pm instead. )
I was so happy to see one of my family’s favourite restaurants keeping up its high standards. Our dinner was as excellent as usual. In my opinion, this is the only authentic Japanese restaurant in Ottawa.
For a truly authentic experience, you can’t do better. Here, service, ambiance, food and quality are a true representation of a Japanese restaurant that really cares. Been a few times and found it to be consistently very very good. Attention to details is evident and spotless everywhere you look.
Very nice sushi and appetizers. The interior is nicely decorated and good vibes. Unfiltered sake was very good.
I came to this restaurant for dinner recently. The boats floating around the sushi bar was definitely a highlight of the restaurant. In terms of food, I tried the Chicken Kara-age and Kaisen Chirashi. The miso soup that came with it tasted a bit salty but bland. The Chicken Kara-age had decent pieces of nicely flavoured chicken that were fresh, juicy, crispy, and tender. The Chirashi had quite a bit of food, including 2 pieces of the following: Salmon (Decent), Tuna (Ok), Maguro (Decent), Hamachi (Fresh and sweet), Scallop (Decently sweet), Snapper (Sweet but bad cut), Squid (Decently sweet), Seared salmon belly (nice blend/change compared to the rest), Surf clam (Sweet), Fish roe (Ok). In general, the sashimi were fairly crunchy, slightly fishy, but overall fairly fresh. The sushi rice was just okay though.
If you want authentic Japanese restaurant, this is the place. Wonderful food, superior environment, lovely staff.
My friends and I celebrated our little girl’s second birthday here. Because we have children, the dinner party was a bit noisy, and the restaurant staff showed great patience. Thank you very much for everything they have done for our birthday. I like the food that day very much. I was very satisfied with all the food that day. Especially eel rice. If you ask me if I will come back here, I will say yes without hesitation.
The food is decent. I ordered the wrong sushi a plate, it was all raw fish even in the sushi roll, so couldn't eat it. My friend enjoyed it though.
