34 Best Sushi Bars near Gloucester

“This is the best sushi I’ve tried so far in Ottawa. When I say the best, I mean the best overall.
Every component of the dish is excellent on its own. The rice is cooked perfectly, fully done but not soft or mushy. The seasoning is outstanding, just like in Japan, and noticeably less sweet than most places in Ottawa, which I really appreciate. This is how it should taste.
The fish was fresh and properly seasoned. The balance between fish and rice is spot on, with generous portions. Plenty of salmon, double eel, and large pieces of tuna. Just check the photos.
This is definitely my go-to place for sushi takeout.“

“I recently had the chance to dine at Sushi Kan in Ottawa, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. If you are looking for a place in Ottawa where you can enjoy a wide variety of sushi and Japanese dishes in a casual setting, Sushi Kan is definitely a solid option.

One of the first things that stands out about Sushi Kan is the all-you-can-eat menu format. Instead of going up to a buffet, you order everything directly from a menu or tablet and the staff bring the dishes to your table. This makes the experience feel a bit more relaxed and organized compared to traditional buffets. It also means the food is usually prepared fresh in smaller portions, which is nice because you can try many different items without feeling overwhelmed.

The variety of food options is quite impressive. Besides the standard sushi rolls, there are many different types of sashimi, nigiri, specialty rolls, and cooked dishes. The menu also includes appetizers, soups, salads, grilled items, tempura, noodles, and desserts. This makes it a great place for groups, since even people who are not huge sushi fans can still find something they enjoy.

The sushi itself was fresh and nicely presented. The rice had a good texture and balance of seasoning, and the fish tasted clean and fresh. Some of the specialty rolls were quite creative, with combinations of sauces and toppings that added a lot of flavor. The portions are not huge, but that’s actually perfect for an all-you-can-eat format because you can continue ordering and try many different things.

I also enjoyed several of the hot dishes. The tempura was crispy and light, not overly greasy, and the fried items came out hot. The grilled dishes and appetizers were flavorful and came in small portions that made them easy to share at the table. It’s definitely the kind of place where ordering a wide variety of dishes and sharing them with friends or family makes the meal more fun.

Another thing worth mentioning is the speed of service. Considering how busy Sushi Kan can get, especially during dinner hours or weekends, the food arrived at a fairly steady pace. The staff were attentive and friendly, and they cleared empty plates quickly so the table never felt crowded.

The atmosphere is casual but comfortable. The restaurant has a lively energy, especially when it’s busy. It’s a popular spot for groups, family dinners, and casual nights out with friends. The interior is modern and clean, with plenty of seating, so even when it’s full it doesn’t feel overly cramped.

Because it is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, it can sometimes get quite busy, particularly on weekends. Making a reservation or arriving earlier in the evening can make the experience smoother. Despite the crowd, the overall organization of the restaurant keeps things moving efficiently.

Another positive aspect is the value for the price. Considering the variety and the ability to try many different dishes, Sushi Kan offers good value if you enjoy sushi and want to explore multiple items on the menu. It’s especially great for groups because everyone can order what they like and share.

Overall, my experience at Sushi Kan was very positive. The restaurant offers a large selection of sushi and Japanese dishes, fresh ingredients, and a fun all-you-can-eat format that encourages trying many different flavors. It’s a great place for casual dining, group gatherings, or simply satisfying a sushi craving.

I would definitely come back again and would recommend Sushi Kan to anyone in Ottawa looking for a reliable and enjoyable all-you-can-eat sushi experience.“

“best sushi in ottawa, highly recommended“

“We visited Sushi Fresh and it was a great experience for sushi lovers. Located in ByWard Market, the restaurant has a simple and cozy atmosphere that feels relaxed and welcoming.

The highlight was definitely the freshness of the sushi. The fish tasted clean and flavorful, while the rice had a good texture and balance. The presentation was neat and appetizing without feeling overly complicated.

Service was quick and friendly, and although the dining area is on the smaller side, it adds to the casual local-spot feel. It works well for dine-in, takeout, or a quick meal while exploring downtown Ottawa.

Many local diners also describe it as one of their favorite sushi places in Ottawa because of its consistency, generous portions, and fresh ingredients.

Overall experience was good.

Fresh sushi, good portions, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere — a place worth coming back to if you enjoy Japanese food in Ottawa. 🍣

“Stopped in on my way home from work. Got the Salmon and Tuna Poke Bowl. Absolutely delicious. So much food and very fresh. Can’t wait to try other menu items.“

“The fish and dishes are perfect -- the salmon is rich in flavour and the texture has a nice mouth feel. The sushi pizza here is unique but fun and tasty 😋

The wait can be a bit long for food, especially for lunch or dinner rushes. Be prepared to wait for a good while if you visit around that time“

“Amazing service when Uber eats messed up. They delivered the missing food themselves👍🏼“

“V cool little gem tucked in a location that feels industrial. You walk through a large kitchen to a portal made in heaven. Smallish space-could use a little more noise reduction but our food was impeccable and eye catching. Bryan was our waiter-he knows his food and was a perfect guide to an extensive gourmet dinner. All dishes were shareable. The tempura shrimp was to die for. We'll be back!“

“Awesome food ….. large menu selection … as a vegan, I was extremely satisfied with the experience and menu selections our hostess gave me….. everyone at our table loved all the fresh food and selection…. Quiet place but perfectly located in the Byward Market area…. Highly recommend“

“What a lovely experience! The waitress was exceptionally warm, genuine, and welcoming, with a beautiful smile and a great attitude. She went out of her way to help and made our visit even more enjoyable. The sushi rolls were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Highly recommended!“

“So good. Sushi is fantastic, super fresh, with lots of variety.

I placed a really large order. If was ready exactly when I was told it would be. Everything was packaged beautifully and the ladies working there arr very kind. They clearly know what they're doing and prepare the Sushi with lots of care.

So delicious - and really generous portions. I have tons of leftover (and that's ok! 😋😁). Go here for Sushi!“

“This place is amazing!!!! As soon as I walked in they were so welcoming and made the process of figuring out what to get so simple. I got the spicy california roll and spicy meat roll and they were soooo good!!!! I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to try quality sushi!!!“

“A must stop in at least for the skewers 😋 the mini squid skewer was so good I wanted to get three more orders 😆 anime stuff for sale everywhere its nice to look around while you wait. The ramen was amazing, sushi was decent but the skewers and takoyaki were the best we've eaten!“

“Excellent quality sushi. Very polite and helpful staff. Reasonable prices too.“

“Exceptionally fresh, high quality options. Try the Omakase experience if you can. We have enjoyed this at Michelin restaurants, and this little gem of a restaurant has a modern, welcoming take on it at a very reasonable price. Fun fact, chef won his first award at just 18 years old, creating the perfect tomago dish. It is part of the experience and along with the melt-in-your-mouth fish selections and delicious accompaniments, a special treat. Service is topnotch, friendly and observant. Well-priced and a great example of approachable, excellent Japanese cuisine.“

“Free cotton candy made this review 👍“

“First time at this wee restaurant, but it won't be our last! We enjoyed the Wellington Roll, Atlantic salmon sashimi and Maguro tuna sashimi SO much that we had to order it again! Staff are friendly and efficient, and if you like cats, you'll love the cute decor 😸! While you're in the neighborhood, take the time to walk around a bit; there's a lovely silver & gemstone jeweller just a few doors down ...“

“Nice place to go eat AYCE near downtown Ottawa. Options are good and diverse. The restaurant is clean and staffs are friendly and proactive. Tempura are made freshly as we order. Forgot to take a picture but grilled shrimp and squid are really good.“

“Great spot for quick, fresh sushi and poke bowls! The fish is high quality, and the poke bowls are flavorful with generous toppings. Service is friendly but a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, a solid choice for a quick, healthy meal. Will definitely return!“

“Absolutely delicious. I regularly wait for them to open in the morning for break instead of ordering elsewhere“

“Drove from Orleans to pick up an order for dinner gathering. Arrived 5 min early only to find out it would take another 30min because the kitchen’s printer didn’t print our order. They couldn’t cancel it either and I had guests waiting. Pretty disappointing to be honest, the food is great so I’m providing honest feedback here to help improve systems. Please refund my credit card as your server wasn’t able to do so at the restaurant.“

“Absolutely fantastic, might be the best in the city, at least the best in the downtown area! Bonus that prices are also WAY better than they should be! I was hesitant because it was relatively new and outside of where most of the central pho spots are, so I wondered if they'd be less motivated because there isn't as much competition nearby but was I EVER wrong. This spot should be full all the time based on quality, wow!!“

“The sushi are really good and the service is amazing! 😍“

“D'habitude, les sushis d'épicerie sont pas tellement frais mais j'en ai acheté la semaine passée dans un Aki au Métro à Papineauville pour souper parce que j'ai fini tard et... WOW! très frais, riz moelleux à souhait, poissons très frais.... Et que dire des poke bowls 👌😇“

“Great Food and honest too. I left my phone behind hidden under a plate. Well that was a long night waiting for morning to come, but I felt my phone was safe. And sure enough, the next morning, I picked up my phone. Thank you. That was great customer service.“

“We had delicious brown rice sushi today from the sushi shop in the Glebe. It was superb! 5 stars. Highly recommended.“
