36 Best Sushi Bars near Gloucester

“Ordered the largest platter (89 pieces? Something like that). Was perfect for five adults and one very small child. Sushi was just as good as the sushi I’m used to from BC (which has been a hard bar to meet in Ottawa…)
Notably, the salmon sashimi was extremely good.“

“Good sushi good service. Only thing I didn't like was they limit the amount of type of sushi you order based on what you previously ordered. If you want more of one type of sushi they limit you to 2 of the same. So it's not really all you can eat. Really good sushi.“

“best sushi in ottawa, highly recommended“

“Been here for dine in and takeout before and they have never disappointed! Service was fast and the servers are soft spoken, the atmosphere was also quiet. Only gripe was that they close so early! I once went at 7:30 and they were already stopping dine in service. Either way, my friends and I will still be back, hopefully earlier next time lol“

“I'm from Toronto and I was craving takoyaki. I got the poke bowl, takoyaki and 2 pieces spicy salmon. I tried everything right away in the car first then took it home

The takoyaki was what I expected, super yummy.
I think the fish was good. The sushi rice was a lot harder than I'm used to, not as fluffy. Maybe should have a bit more water

The poke bowl, the ingredients were good but it was missing some flavor. I realized there wasn't any spicy mayo.

I'm thinking the food could be made for the demographic since this is decently away from downtown and some my friends like less fluffy rice and the spicy mayo might be too strong for some people.

I would definitely make it optional to add spicy mayo for the poke bowl and tempura bits but I love the texture of them so that's a personal preference“

“I’m so glad we stopped by this small ramen shop! We had the chicken and the beef ramen bowls to go. The hand pulled noodles and broth were so delicious and the staff were so kind. It was fun for the kids to watch the chef make the noodles too!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Went here for the first time yesterday and tried the burrito sushi, and it was SO good! 😭 I actually liked it so much that I came back again today lol. The burritos are really filling too, so you definitely won’t leave hungry.

The staff were super nice and kind, and the place itself is really cute, especially with all the little cat pictures 🐱. They also had really good music playing, so the whole place had such a nice vibe. It’s really close to my house too, so I low-key might become a regular here 😂. Definitely my new favorite thing!“

“I have been to Shinka several times and I keep bringing new people to share this great experience! Their food is incredible and the atmosphere is really neat with the speak-easy feel. Best sushi I've had by far. I especially love the dragon eye and the spicy scallop :)“

“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“

“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!!!“

“I had an amazing experience at rice n roll - the staff were so lovely and friendly and happy to help. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, the tofu poki bowl was so flavourful and so much was included for $23! Would recommend this to anyone looking for a delicious meal!“

“This is always a huge dilemma for me: 4 stars or 5?

On one hand, Kuidaore is probably one of the most authentically Japanese-feeling places I’ve visited in Ottawa, especially because of the interior and overall atmosphere. On the other hand, the food didn’t quite meet my expectations.

I had just returned from a long trip to Japan, so my taste buds still remembered very well what classics like tonkotsu ramen, karaage, and takoyaki tasted like there. Naturally, I ordered all three.

The tonkotsu ramen was a little on the bland side for me. The broth felt somewhat watery and lacked the richness I expected. The chashu, however, was excellent. The biggest downside was the noodles - the texture reminded me more of instant noodles than the ramen noodles I had throughout Japan. To be fair, this is still one of the better bowls of ramen I’ve had in Ottawa; it’s just difficult not to compare it with what you get in Japan.

The takoyaki was average. The octopus was slightly chewy, but I loved the generous amount of bonito flakes on top. Visually, it looked just like something you might get from a street stall in Osaka, which brought back some good memories.

The karaage was my biggest disappointment. Japan has some of the best fried chicken in the world in my opinion - even convenience-store chicken can be amazing. Unfortunately, this karaage tasted as if it had been fried in old oil, or perhaps something was off with the seasoning. It also seemed to be made with white meat, while most of the karaage I had in Japan used juicy dark meat.

And somehow, the best part of dinner was the Orion beer. Originally from Okinawa, it became one of my favourites in Japan, and it was a very nice surprise to find it here.

So yes, I’m still struggling between 4 and 5 stars. I’m leaving 5 stars because I really like the atmosphere, appreciate having a place like this in Ottawa, and I definitely want to come back. I’ll give the ramen and karaage another try and update my review afterward.“

“Only went for drinks for a birthday. The food we saw/smelled seemed amazing. Drinks were great.

Service was a bit slow, but they were setting up for club night. So I'll blame it on timing.

The drinks were also fantastic“

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

“This is my husband and I's favourite sushi place in the city! The staff are all incredibly kind and helpful, the atmosphere is so nice, there's not a lot of seating which I personally love. We regularly eat in/take out and every time the food has been fresh, tasty and quick. You have to try their beef gyoza, I think it is the best I have ever had!! My husband is obsessed with the lobster roll!! I am not a big leave a review person, but I felt this place truly deserves all the stars!!!“

“My son and I love coming here, it’s both of our favourite restaurant. The sushi is phenomenal, the price is fair and the service is always wonderful. Nice quiet dining experience, definitely recommend if you enjoy sushi!“

“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.“

“Free cotton candy made this review 👍“

“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!“

“This is my boyfriend’s and I favourite sushi restaurant! We’ve even tried many restaurants including in Byward market but this is by far the best. The freshest fish I’ve ever had in a sushi restaurant, must try here!“

“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 👌😇“

“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.“

“Stopped by Pho Lady for some pho. The broth was rather mild and nothing mind-blowing, but I appreciated that each bowl was served thoughtfully. The staff were pleasant. Since the menu includes Japanese and Korean dishes, it lacks that authentic, specialized feel. Not a must-visit in my book, but a solid option for a convenient bite.“

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