10 Best Japanese Restaurants near Orleans

“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.“

“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.“

“The sushi was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. Every bite was flavorful and perfectly made. On top of that, the owner was so kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend everyone to give this sushi a try if you ever get the chance to visit the mall, it’s definitely worth it.“

“Absolutely fantastic all‑you‑can‑eat sushi experience. The sashimi was fresh and generous, the sushi was consistently delicious, and the service was genuinely warm and attentive. What really stood out was how considerate they were about my shellfish allergy — something that’s usually tricky at sushi restaurants. They took it seriously, double‑checked everything, and made me feel completely safe while still enjoying a great meal. Highly recommend for both quality and care.

Plus they have a robot!“

“We had such a lovely experience here Saturday night. I had made a reservation for four, but ended up arriving with our son as well when our babysitting plans didn’t work out. I apologized that we were suddenly five, and the staff were so gracious about it, immediately putting together a larger table for us and making us feel completely welcome.

The food was amazing, but what really stood out to me was the service. The staff was warm, attentive and seemed genuinely aware of what might make our evening easier and more enjoyable. At one point the chef even sent out a little vegetarian sushi roll for our son to try which was such a thoughtful surprise.

It was just a really lovely evening all around. Great food, wonderful service, and the kind of hospitality I'm still thinking about days later.“

“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!“

“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'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 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.“
