Sushi Fresh took a wet, tired evening in the ByWard Market and quietly turned it into something almost luminous. Rain was still clinging to coats when the door closed behind and the room wrapped everything in a softer light. The staff moved like they actually cared whether the day ended well. Small questions, careful glances, water glasses topped up before they were empty. Nothing showy, just a calm intention that settled the table and slowed the clock a little.
Then the sushi arrived, all together on the most beautiful plate I have ever seen. A long wooden board, smooth and warm, carrying five specialty rolls laid out like a painter’s last careful strokes. Colour everywhere. Deep reds, pale greens, small sparks of orange, each piece holding its place as if it had rehearsed it. For a moment it felt wrong to touch anything. The first bite broke the spell only to build a new one. Rice with the right weight, fish that tasted clean and alive, sauces that whispered instead of shouted. Sharing those rolls in that quiet bubble of warmth while the rain kept falling outside felt strangely intimate. It was only dinner, yet walking out it felt like the kind of small, perfect scene the mind keeps for days when it needs proof that beauty still shows up without warning.

The best sushi i’ve had in ottawa! So fresh, flavourful and simply perfect. The price is amazing too!! I also love that they allow you to get a half roll if you want (picking between 4/8 or 3/6 pieces), I don’t know anywhere else that allows that. The staff is always so kind and always have a smile. Sushi fresh is truly a hidden gem

Wonderful experience from start to finish it. The sushi were.. guess what? Fresshhh. So flavourful and with a ton of choice. The space is a bit smal but very clean and the bathroom as well. The staff were friendly. They came in to check in mid-dinner to see if it's was to our liking. I went there with a friend and we spent around 50$ together, so this place can be budget friendly if you want it! I'm definitely going to come back.

A wonderful place for fresh and fast sushi! They are very knowledgeable of celiac and can accommodate a fulfilling spread! See the photo for one side of their GF menu (given upon request). They also provided GF soy sauce. Very considerate.
We live in Montreal, and for my birthday we decided to go to Ottawa. In three years in Quebec, we've never found a place with such delicious food and excellent service. It was an amazing experience!!! Delicious, beautiful, neat, clean, friendly staff, incredible service! 5 stars ⭐️When we get home, it will be really hard to eat at any other sushi restaurant…🥲😭😭

I had a fantastic experience at Sushi Fresh in ByWard Market! The sushi here is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared with lots of options on the menu. The highlight for me was definitely the Roll Bento — a generous mix of rolls with great variety, all delicious and well balanced. The bento came with sides including tempura shrimps, beef gyoza and wakame salad that made the meal feel complete, and the portion size was excellent for the price.
The service was very quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was casual but welcoming. Perfect spot whether you’re grabbing lunch or sitting down for dinner. I’ll definitely be back — highly recommend the Roll Bento if you want to try a bit of everything.
