Solid food and very tasty. though in trying to be economical with the close quarters it distracts and is very annoying to eat in. Theres no privacy and not great if you want a peaceful meal. Opt to eat outside and you will thank me without a server nearly burning your ear off with the flaming sushi that they serve.
I have tried almost every special roll from J:unique, and I must say their roll is one of the best in Ottawa! I love this sushi bar!
A hidden gem in Ottawa. Pricing is actually very reasonable considering how filling the sushi is. Delicious combinations and flavours that are hard to find in Ottawa. The sushi is creative, appealing and mouth watering delicious!
So good and tasty sushi!Amazing customer service ?Best sushi place in Ottawa they should expand their restaurant!
I’ve ordered takeouts from this restaurant for several times in the past two years. This is the first time I dine in. It is not a traditional Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere here is casual and comfortable. The seafood is very fresh. I admire the creativity of the chef. It is a great place for a night out with friends!
Fresh and delicious sushi! The sashimi was thick and satisfying, and I loved the oshi (torch pressed) sushi. Takoyaki was piping hot with a good ratio of dough and meat, ranks pretty high for satisfying my cravings. Personally am not a big fan of lots of sauce on maki rolls, the Fire Dragon roll was a great choice with 11 pieces and no extra sauce taking away from the amazing seafood.There is a small patio with 3 tables out in the front, and the inside ambiance while we were waiting to get seated was cozy. At 6pm on a Saturday, the place was pretty full but there was no line yet when we arrived. The server was very friendly, and even though we were sitting out on the patio, she made sure to check in with us.
After hearing about this place from so many friends, I finally had the pleasure of trying it. I regret that decision. I've been back 3 times in the last two weeks so it's safe to say I'm ADDICTED. Absolutely amazing sushi combined with warm and friendly service. I'll be seeing you guys a lot more.If you haven't tried it and love sushi. Everything they make is amazing. The yummy yummy and big boss are my favourites. But they're all delicious
Excellent yam tempura appetizers; probably the best I’ve had. They were super warm, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect texture and taste. I also liked their spicy yam tempura roll. However, the tamago roll was a bit cold and the inari just ok. The restaurant has some cute decor. The food’s presentation was great and the service excellent. Solid sushi place. Good for vegetarians but better for non-vegetarians.
Summary: Good apps, unimpressive sushi, underwhelming experience.Having read good reviews, I really wanted to like this restaurant. Sadly, our entire experience was underwhelming at best.First, we weren't told about the unavailable items on the menu. So after taking time to look through everything and decide what we wanted, I was told the restaurant is out of all types of ramen when I tried to order one. The server gave us time to choose something else. And when we were ready to order a second time, we were told the restaurant is out of chicken karaage.At that point, it was quite frustrating. So we ordered what seemed safe: miso soup, takoyaki, a spicy salmon roll, a spider roll and a tuna belly nigiri sushi.Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the sushi. The spider roll is so huge it's impossible to eat without the fillings falling out and the entire piece falling apart. The spicy salmon roll came liberally drizzled with mayo and hot sauce; you couldn't taste the fish. The tuna belly didn't taste like tuna belly too. Fortunately, the takoyaki was good.To be fair:1. The restaurant put the miso soup on the house as they were out of the items we wanted. But it would have been so much more pleasant if we were just told what was unavailable.2. Also, when the second server saw that most of my hubby's spicy salmon roll was untouched, she wanted to give us credits for a future visit.However, our experience was so unpleasant we really didn't think we would come again. So, while we appreciated the gesture, we felt the rating should reflect the overall experience which is a 2-star one.
Went on Valentine's Day, no one served or told us how to order after we were seated, and there was no menu sticker on our table. At the same time, all the sushi that came that day were served with some raw rice. I have eaten sushi so many times, and this is the first time I have eaten all the sushi with some raw rice. Maybe this is the "feature" of the store? This made me eat the whole meal very unpleasant, from the picture could see that many parts of the rice are not cooked, I don't think I will go again, because its price is not proportional to the stuff I think.
