“Absolutely the best sushi in Ottawa. I'm sad it took us two years to find this place. They also have some delicious Korean dishes as well.

This is mostly a take-out/delivery restaurant but there are a couple of small tables to sit at and a counter at the window. We like to eat in most of the time because we like the tiny low key atmosphere.

Plus, the staff are so kind, polite and friendly!

Great food, great prices and great portions. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.“

“not much sashimi selection but if you like salmon, Kuiadore's is remarkable, fresh, buttery and tastes like salmon. Went there for lunch, had 2 different bowls of ramen, beef rib and Tan Tan, again delicious. Got to back and try the yakitori and the other dishes on the menu. Loved my first try here. Sservice was helpful and cheerful. Everything on point. Plus the decor is kind of cool, in a kitchy, pop, fun style.“

Everyone works hard to make sure the customer has a great experience, and in how many places are you greeted and served by the owner?! Way to go, Samantha Liu.

The food can be good, but service is really hit or miss most of the time. I have visited 4 or 5 times and half of that time, they forget drinks and bill you for them.

The food is generally pretty tasty - notable the curry tonkatsudon. As for the small plates, they could generally be better but are okay - they're just expensive for what it is.

All in all, I do enjoy coming here - especially with friends as it makes for a great atmosphere.“

“I've dined at Japanese Village many times since 1991. I remember seeing the goofy television commercials in the 1980s and ate there when the waitresses still dressed in kimonos. It's always been Ottawa's original simultaneous dinner and a show with the chefs cooking your meal right in front of you.

I went there yesterday for the first time since May 28, 2019 and nothing has changed. The same formula has worked for them since 1973 and there's no need to change it. I had the New York Striploin and Yaki Shrimp and enjoyed my meal as always.

My only complaint is that they need to have a website. This place is very pricey. With tax and tip, my meal came to $75. People should be able to see the menu and the prices. Chez Lucien had this issue for years.

This is a great restaurant to visit every year or two.“

The inside is spacious and can accommodate a wheelchair and we've never used the washrooms, so cannot say. Accessible parking conveniently right near the ramp.“
