My husband and I have been struggling to find a good sushi place in Ottawa and we were thorough impressed by J:unique. We got the Favourite 5 and shared the rolls and even though we were stuffed by the end we just had to finish them. Definitely try their specialty rolls, they're delicious.

J Unique is one of my favourite places to eat sushi. It is a small restaurant and you may have to wait but it is totally worth it! I would recommend the crazy boy roll and the miso soup! The staff are also great and they work really hard to make sure they can accommodate everyone.

One of the best restaurants in the region for sushi! I love the way they serve their house sake (we had it cold).

I guess I'll never forget this taste. I wish this restaurant was also in Toronto. We ordered the Favourite 5, veggie gyoza, and chicken karaage. I can't say any of them were bad. The Dynamite roll was my favorite. The taste of the sushi was truly unique. I miss it already. :(
A fantastic dinner with a WOW Factor. Thr Godzilla Bite is a showstopper. Really enjoyed the Big Boss, Yummy Yummy, and the Salmon Oshi. The Fire Dragon was also a cool show but the unagi overpowered the rest of the roll.The plum wine was also a nice experience. Super sweet and tasty.Service was also spectacular, especially for our big group, with many of us sharing plates and orders.
Great sushi! The presentation is super cool and the fish tastes like it’s quite fresh and not fishy at all! it was a bit challenging to communicate our dairy allergy to the waitress due to language barriers. In the winter when the door opens and closes it gets so cold inside I had to keep my jacket on. Also note that the vegetable gyoza was crunchy (which maybe some people like).

Probably one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. My friend and I ordered a few rolls, a salad, and sashimi. During the ordering process, the waitress kept ignoring my friend's requests. At that point, we thought it might have been because it was too loud.While we were eating, absolutely ZERO service was provided! Both waiters were refilling water for people seated next to us, and without even acknowledging our table, they simply walked away. If it had happened just once, I would understand, but they continued to ignore us (holding the water and refilling glasses for other tables, it's a small restaurant so I can't think of any reason that they can see the empty cup in the table right next to us but not ours) more than three times. In the end, I had to ask them to refill my cup, which they did.The waitress also attempted to take away our salad while we were still eating it, without asking. All things considered, we felt we were not being treated with respect.Hopefully, the store owner and employees can be more mindful in the future and stop discriminating against customers.

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and cozy.The food is by no means bad. But for the price point, I do wish they put more thought into the dishes.The ingredients are not very special or unique. A lot of the plating is impractical to eat or just for show.The random fires add nothing to the dish itself besides that the name is after something that breathes fire.The fried sweet potato strands were actually quite good and could’ve been used as a more modest garnish or even good enough to come in a separate bowl or on the side of the plate. Trying to fit the bite into your mouth in one bite is impossible and makes you look silly. You end up taking apart the garnish and trimming it down. You lose the essence of the flavourful bite that sushi is supposed to provide.

I have been here so many times. I tried 5 dishes here And it so good But one thing I want is can you post more pictures with the names so I can easily choose the dishes? Because it is difficult to choose dishes without pictures. Any way i love your food.
