Best sushi in Ottawa. I love coming here for special occasions or even just takeout.

Update to my previous 5*. Was excited to go a second time as we dont get to travel to ottawa much. Much different this time around. Service was slow and inattentive. Dirty glassware and impossible to grab their attention. Never asked for drinks. Food quality took a dip, some of the octopus in the fried balls were still frozen. A frozen piece should never be found in a deep fried dish. Had I not been impressed first time around, this would easily been an awful night. I guess all restaurants can have an off night, but we cant risk the inconsistency.

Creative unique flavours & decent sized rolls (usually between 5-8 pieces depending on your selection). We were fairly full after ordering 4 rolls & chicken karagge. We had the Dynamite, red dragon, salmon oshi, and sunset (my personal favorite where the fish melted in your mouth!)
They don’t take reservations and we arrived 430 (opening hour) on Sunday, and the restaurant was packed by 5! Definitely recommend arriving early.

Everything was absolutely insane. Off the charts flavor and possible the best sushi in town. The nigiri made me wanna cry it was damn good.

Sushis are fine but the ones in the Favorite 5 are just dripping of mayo and other sauces. Maybe I should have ordered something else... I have nothing to say about the service, the staff was pleasant and efficient. For the atmosphere, brace yourself for loud pop music. I'm too old for that.

How do I describe this place? A Japanese themed canteen where the chef is a former line cook at Wendy’s and the waiters are kids from the neighborhood lemonade stand.

Excellent sushi in a casual setting. The table right next to the window has uncomfortable seating so stay away from that spot if possible.

Super shitty service, but delicious sushi! We walked in there with a baby, and waited 5 minutes before they acknowledged our presence, then took them another ten to clear off off one of the two empty tables and we had to ask for napkins and chopsticks to go with the food.
I am glad we waited though - the sushi was fresh, creative, honestly the best I've had in Ottawa. I would go back.

We were visiting from out of town and heard great things about j:unique from family. We ended up going and it completely exceeded my expectations. We started out with takoyaki which tasted incredible and some nigiri which was pretty fresh tasting. For our mains we started with the Fav 5 tray. Really enjoyed the pressed sockeye salmon roll from that tray. After that we go the special roll tray which honestly had some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. We loved the sunset role from the special roll tray. Lastly we got the torched roll (not pictured) and it was okay. Being lit on fire was a cool novelty but it wasn’t my fav (it was good but the rest was much better). Service was spot on. Our server was incredibly nice. Easily worth the price! I’d recommend.

Excellent sushi and the server was awesome - especially considering they were the only server in an almost fully sat restaurant in the heat of a rush. Very reasonable pricing especially for the quality.
