The first time I went in 2016 we ate inside, had some drinks. Ottawa can be a bit of a letdown food scene wise but for me this was a shiny spot. This time, in Sept 2022, I stopped in to go the tuna burrito, asked for a side of pickled ginger and soy sauce. It's a great concept, a bit on the pricier side but it's sashimi so I get it. It's a fun place to stop by, I hope they pick up more business.

If you're a fan of sushi, you'll probably end up being a fan of this as well. I went with some friends and we each picked up our own bowls. They're fairly generous with their servings, but I do warn that they are slightly on the more expensive side. They have vegan and gluten free options, so it's a great alternative for everyone.

They worked through the line quite quickly but there's not a lot of room to sit for to their seats being right where the line is with the exception of those at the window. For the price of the poke bowl (I did the make your own), it lacked protein and they lacked generosity when it came to toppings. The presentation was nice but I felt very limited in the amount of toppings I could have in my bowl as well as they were stingy. For example, I wanted daikon & she counted 4 pieces for my bowl! Lots of rice so it'll fill you up. Unsure whether I'll come back since it was very delicious but slightly over priced..

We also had dessert, hello flan! All dishes were stand alone favorites! I think their menu changes but we had fois gras, spicy pork bites and lobster Mac and cheese, which came out bubbling! The lobster part was a cold lobster salad on bread and on top was grilled, bacon wrapped asparagus. Perfectly balanced. The wine and beer was also unique. I had orange white wine, which was delightful for summer! If you are visiting Ottawa, make the trip across the river for this gem! BTW- see photos for correct hours. They do not close at 7pm on Tuesday or I would not be writing this!

Only downside of sitting there was not having a place to put our coat so we had to pull an extra chair next to us. Lots of seating available, very relaxed, somewhat hipster vibe, waiters were nice, ambiance was nice. Tomo Slaw (5/5): refreshing, light, tasty. I really enjoyed the texture and crunchiness from the taro chips mixed in Beef Tataki (5/5): my friend was not a fan of raw beef but I love it. The sauce was great and I like how there was pineapple bits to it Spider Roll (5/5): pretty standard - can't go wrong with it Kiss Roll (5/5): I think this was the only specialty roll that didn't have shrimp tempura in it aside from the veggie ones. The rolls were quite big and didn't have too much rice. Overall, the food is very yummy and exceeded my expectations! Honestly wasn't expecting it to be this great but I'm glad I was wrong

The modern interior lighting was dim but set the relaxing tone for the evening. It was also aesthetically pleasing inside Food: I'm a sucker for Japanese food, and their Aburi Salmon Sushi which was torched, was absolutely amazing. Their house sauce and jalapinos were a great touch and gave the roll the perfect amount of spice. I also got the fried chicken bao which was delicious. The meat was juicy and crispy on the outside. The veggies inside the steamed dumpling bun put it all together. It was the right portion and size Drinks: I got the Chun-Li kick. Some flavours that stood out were the Gin, lychee juice and lavender bitters. I'd definitely come back

The poke cost around 14$ which it's pretty pricey for the portion they give you. The place is small, it has 3-4 seats. The shop is well situated as it is inside a company's building.

There was a long wait (20 minutes) and then I almost got the wrong order. The spicy sushi roll was…read moregood, but not good enough to warrant the price (almost $10,-). The Ramen soup (large with chicken) was inedible.

I would not go back there ... overpriced and bad quality. I also noticed that the people prepping the sushi (while wearing gloves) were wiping their sweaty heads with their gloved hands and then continued to prep the sushi :( .(!) enough said.

What a thoughtful touch! Our dining experience was more on the expensive side this time around. However, you can most definitely get away with spending little due to their amazing happy hour options.

The steak was cooked spot on: medium rare and just a touch on the rare side, exactly how I wanted it and mentioned from the get-go. Everything arrived promptly, which made the whole experience feel smooth and well-paced. We placed 4 happy hour sangrias, which were perfectly balanced and refreshing. What really stood out was the service. Our server, Ace, was wonderful, attentive, friendly, and genuinely engaging. She even surprised us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate, which made the evening feel extra special. The restaurant itself is immaculate: spotlessly clean with a smart, stylish setup that immediately catches your eye.
