“Large variety of meats. Should add more seafood and veggie choices to the menu. The servers are well trained and definitely know what they are doing. Those dining tables are a bit small. We had a group of 9 so we were allowed to reserve a table. For small group you need to put yourself to a wait list through an app, and this is the only thing I don’t like.“

“The price is very expensive but it is some of the best quality I had in the city. Tried Osaka roll, tsubaki mushroom, inari, California roll and Ora king salmon rainbow (this was the best!!). The California roll is different, includes tamago too I think. Overall there is a lot of filling and the ratio is super compared to rice. I think it’s a good place for trying their novelties and not for being full but I would come try again. This was $104, shared with 2 people.“

“Hidden sushi spot inside pomelo hat! Love that they have sushi available for takeout with friendly service! Got the salmon and tuna poke with spicy mayo and it was quite tasty! I personally found the portions slightly smaller than other poke restaurants (don’t give as much rice) but nonetheless still super filling!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and pescatarian options available!Parking: No actually parking lot, but lots of free street parking in neighbourhood streets in the back or paid parking during certain times on bank street.Wheelchair accessibility: No, you have to go up a couple steps to get to store front and inside is a bit tight.“

I'm talkin' PRISTINE fish and epic rolls that will have your tastebuds doin' backflips. We're talkin' fresh, melt-in-your-mouth good.The vibe, straight fire and the staff, so on point I couldn't even finish a sip of green tea before they swooped in to top me off. Serious ninja skills.Overall, this place is killin' it on all fronts. From the food to the feel, it's an 11 outta 10 experience that won't break the bank. Do yourself the ultimate solid and book yourself a table asap. You can thank me later!“

Though the entrance, the welcome in was very warm. The atmosphere is set up as if you were in Japan. The food came out in an excellent time once you placed the order. The staff also provided a very nice to go box. If you're in the area this is a place that you must try when visiting Ottawa.“

They only do take-out, I told them I only had 10 minutes, they said they could make tempura shrimp rolls in 5 minutes. And they did! Just in front of me. There was a pleasant man and a woman there who were making the rolls. The rolls were so good!!! I will definitely come back and will write about them in my blog.“

“I went to Festival Japan for lunch for the first time in a number of years. They've redecorated and the decor is gorgeous. The food and service was a wonderful as always. My only critique would be the fact that they no longer serve “standalone” sushi at lunch; that is now only available at dinner. However, the lunch menu offered lots of choice and which included a sushi roll with most of the Bento box options. I will go again, for lunch and dinner, and highly recommend this restaurant. “

“I ordered from DoorDash so I honestly don’t know about the atmosphere but I don’t care about that when the food is this good. I ordered the Salmon Poke bowl and it was fresh and delicious. It was tangy, spicy, crunchy and satisfying. I also ordered the fried spring rolls which were also really tasty. Not greasy like other places, just crunchy and fresh. So glad this place opened up in my neighbourhood. I will try the sushi next time for sure but can see this being a regular place for me now. The prices were reasonable too.“
