“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.“

“For a takeout-only sushi place, this restaurant is truly impressive. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable.
The packaging is secure and well organized, keeping everything fresh and intact during delivery. Even though it’s not dine-in, you can tell the team puts real care into the presentation and overall quality.
The taste is consistently good — I’ve ordered multiple times and have never been disappointed.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for great sushi takeout! 🍣“

“THE BEST NOODLES I HAVE EVER HAD!!!
I was so happy to stumble upon this shop after a foggy, chilly morning browsing around Parliament and the Canal. Watching the chef craft noodles right before your eyes is second to none, and the broth? Simple. Refreshing and refined. I was stuck between the Chicken or Beef, and was told the Beef was the better choice.
$18 for a bowl and a pop, perfect.
I waited a few minutes, but it was totally worth it for fresh, hand-made noodles, and deliciousness. The bowl is the perfect size so come hungry, with bits of green onion, cilantro, and deliciousness layered throughout. I could barely stop myself from diving in before it cooled. They also offer chili oil for an extra kick, and it was so flavourful I didn't even try to tempt fate with some heat.
The beef was tender and filled with flavour, I DEVOURED this in a short-time, and was so happy to be filled with warmth and good food. If you're after something a bit different while browsing the Byward Market, this is easily a solid stop for lunch or dinner.
Staff are friendly, food is top tier, and the atmosphere is perfectly chill.“

“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“

“Yummy poke bowls at reasonable prices. Loved the salmon with spicy mayo. The staff was friendly as well. It’s more of a take out place but there’s a couple tables to sit at and they were very accommodating. I’d like if there was iced tea available (I might’ve just missed it). Will definitely return and reccomend to friends!“

“Shinka is everything you could want for an intimate date night or a beautiful lunch.
The setting when you first come inside will take you by surprise, however the dining room is so nicely put together that you forget all about it after you walk inside.
Joel, the manager, is always pleasant and easy to talk to, and all of the staff we have ever had have been kind.
The food is outstanding- the quality of the fish cannot be beat. Whether you are going in for a la carte or the omakase, it is going to be an incredible meal.
For those who, like me, cannot have gluten, this is the place to be.
Yes, Shinka is expensive, but in this case, you get what you pay for.“

“Hands down one of the best all you can eat sushi places I’ve ever tried in Ottawa. The sushi was incredibly fresh, tasted great and came in so much variety. The place was clean and the staff were very kind and helpful. The washrooms are also clean and well maintained. Everything about the experience was amazing, I would definitely recommend this place for all you can eat. Best menu items for me were the maki rolls, the salmon sashimi and the udon noodles. They use papers instead of iPads and a cute robot sometimes delivers the food.“

“It was our first time trying tomo and it completely exceeded our expectations.The quality and freshness of every dish was good. Lots of flavour. The staff took the time to explain each ingredient when we asked and they told us where the fish was sourced from and what made every course special. The cocktails and wine pairing were also very good and service was top tier. Chef Hikaru went out of his way to connect with us using a translator device which let him understand u. He made us feel welcomed and completely part of the experience. 10/10 will be back!“
“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 👌😇“

“Classic sushi experience - good fish portions + fish that tastes amazing and mouthfeel is smooth and silky. The salmon sushi pizza is very nice -- the crispy rice sometimes can be too fried, but there were otherwise lots of delicious toppings
The service can be mixed. Overall they seem very friendly; one time I accidentally visited the establishment when they weren't open yet (about 1 hour early, I believe), and they let me dine in. Very thankful(They also gave me ice when I refilled my water bottle)
Other times, they forget to greet/check in on guests, so service can improve.
Wait times vary from being decent to being very long; understandably the staff is not big, but if you are very hungry, you might steer elsewhere.
Barring all that, the food is amazing. If you can eat here please do so 🙏“

“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.“
