    Looking for something different than we usually go for all you can eat sushi we found this place . Place was very calm and had their tables very well distributed to follow the social distance guidelines. Staff was very kind on the phone and in person . They are dry and not super bubbly but very nice and quick . We went for the diner menu that was 30$ per person . Lots of choices to choose from, love the teriyaki salmon . Nothing different than other all you can eat sushi but I really enjoyed the ambiance and their huge easy to look menu .

    Same star rating however, I did find that the food and menu improved. I would give it a 3.5 stars if I could but still not my favourite place. Prices increased since I've last visited but it's expected. We came here shortly after restaurants reopened during Covid-19. It's one of the few ayce sushi restaurants opened during this time. They have a pretty good safety procedure put in place. They have limited seating so it's required to make a reservation or at least call ahead to make sure a table is available. We called in an hour before showing up with no issues. Some ayce places have time limits but I found it slightly odd that there was an order limit due to Covid-19. We made it work but we squished everything in the first order and used our last two orders as necessary. It makes it hard to plan out and not waste food. The food was pretty decent. Service was okay. Definitely and improvement from my last visit. It is still not my favourite place so it may be a while again before I come back. It's definitely an option during COVID-19 to get your ayce sushi fix as there aren't many opened.

    Dinner $28+ tax. It is highly recommended to make a reservation. Call ahead. Full Covid mask, spacing, sanitizer is being enforced. They have a 3 round order written paper form to avoid waste. You can request multiple forms to order as much as you want as long as you completely finish each round before ordering the next. Service is good. The fried appetizers are lukewarm to cold unfortunately. The nigiri and sashimi are good. Do not order the "Pike Mackarel." Taking into account the current situation, this place is amazing.

    Sushi Kan is lunch haven for me and my work colleagues. Every time we crave sushi, this is our go-to AYCE sushi place. Lunch is $15wkday/$16wknd; Dinner is $25 since the menu is larger. The quality of Sushi Kan is similar to every other sushi buffet in Ottawa; the food is decent, but quantity is really what keeps customers coming back. If you're a traditional fresh-catch-of-the-day-sushi connoisseur, this place won't be your cup of tea. The different sushi types they have are usually the table favorite. The "YummyYummy" roll is also a hit amongst my friends. I tend to prefer the Americanized rolls - california roll, spider roll, etc.. Taste is always consistent. :) Recently they've added some dimsum items on the menu. They're okay quality for the price you are paying. Teriyaki, tempura, udon, short ribs, fried rice, General Tsao's chicken, seaweed salad, wonton soup... hell even french fries and garlic bread!... are also on the menu. Dessert has gone downhill with the menu update (boo!). I really dislike the greentea and tiramisu replacement desserts that they added (and it puzzles me that each person can only order 2! none for me thanks!). Ice cream is as always perfect... and this glutton usually gets 2.... or 3... scoops. The randoms - Decor is simple Japanese-y and there's room for parties of any size. Though they do take reservations, I've never had problems just walking in. Service can be hit or miss depending on how busy it is and the server you have. Some times we'll have some dishes skipped, but 95% of our list usually makes it to the table in a speedy fashion. Tip: Get a stamp card! Every 10 meals, you get one free.

    I must admit, initially, the idea of sushi was a bit of a turn off for my highly westernized palette. But it was Sushi Kan that first turned me on to those compact mouthfuls of awesome which are Maki and Nigiri sushi. I've since had sushi at many restaurants and in my *vast* wisdom I've categorized my sushi experiences into three tiers of fishy goodness: 1. Food Court Sushi: Small and basic pieces, low on expensive ingredients and high on rice. Those plastic 'fast food sushi' bento boxes you find all over the place. Not terrible by any means, but not great either. 2. All-You-Can-Eat Sushi: This is where Sushi Kan falls. More care is put in these rolls then in your basic food court roll. More importantly, more creativity is put into this sushi. The options are more varied and exotic, while maintaining a price tag that won't have you homeless, begging strangers for pickled ginger, searching the gutters for California rolls. 3. Gourmet Sushi: Expensive as hell but heavenly. Freshness you can taste and usually stuffed to the gills with expensive ingredients. (Get it? Gills?) Good for treating yourself every once in awhile, but to keep the sushi cravings at bay, stick with the all-you-can-eat variety. Unless you're quite rich. In which case, screw you Ritchie Mr. Richerson. Enjoy your amazing sushi on a regular basis. I hope you choke on an umeboshi. People I've talked to seem to have mixed experiences with the two Sushi Kan locations in Ottawa. Myself, I've always left satisfied and with a full belly for about $25. (That's including a ginger ale, some coconut ice cream and a tip.) The service is a crap-shoot. I've had excellent service on busy nights, lousy service when we were the only ones in the place, and vice-versa. But frankly, with the way ordering is done there (the "just keep 'em comin'!" approach,) it's not really a big deal. There's always something on your table to mow down on. Every once in awhile you'll think you're done so you'll power down those last 3 shrimp tempuras, only to have your waitress bring a late order of yummy yummy rolls. Suck it up, cupcake. Eat it or you're paying full price for the uneaten portions. It could be worse, children starving in Africa, etc, etc. "But what items do you recommend?" you ask? Why, here's my favorites! 1. Spicy Tuna Sushi Pizza: Spicy salmon spread on a rice croquette with tempura flakes, roe and spicy sushi sauce. Don't be scared by the name. Or the minuscule amount of roe. 2. Yummy Yummy Roll: I'm not even sure what's in this one, but it's batter fried with a tasty sauce on top. Unagi maybe? Let's just say there should be a few more "yummy's" in that name. 3. Spicy Crispy Avocado Roll: Classic avocado roll with a tempura crunch. It's on the menu as S/C Avocado Roll. 4. Orange Peel Chicken (aka: raw fish-free item for scardy-cats): Gooooood stuff. Savory with a sweet citrus tang. Order 2 or 3 for a group because they disappear in a puff of smoke and of clacking chopsticks. 5: Red Dragon Roll: Warm sushi served with cooked salmon and some gooey cream cheese. Melt in your mouth yum with a veggie crunch. In closing, Sushi Kan is this: A large menu of delicious sushi and japanese food items, served to you by a staff who are mostly in it for the paycheque, at an affordable price. Go for it.

    In my books, this place was just OK. It should be noted that this was my first time having sushi in…read moreOttawa, and this place is supposed to be the best sushi place here. I've had sushi plenty in Vancouver and Toronto, and this place was disappointing in comparison (even to Toronto sushi). I think AYCE sushi is more popular in Ottawa. This is one of the few places that do a la carte. I found the prices to be a bit expensive for what you get. 3 of us shared a sushi and sashimi party tray. It came to around $30 a person, and was quoted on the menu to be for about 3-4 people. I would say it's barely enough for 3 very small people, let alone 4. It did not come with miso soup or salad. The quality of the sushi was nothing to be amazed about. Although it was probably a bit better than AYCE, I think for the prices, I'd expect better quality sushi. If I had to, I'd choose AYCE sushi over this in Ottawa. Also, in terms of authenticity, I think this place is Chinese owned. It is a small establishment, so if you want to be sure you get a table, I'd recommend reservations. There is street parking available on Somerset. I likely won't be back, and will definitely try my hardest to persuade my friends to go elsewhere if they want to come back.

    Food was good. The sushi may have slightly too much rice in each piece but it was fresh and tasty…read more The tempura dish is very light and portion size is good. Service was good and we booked a table before their big party reservations comes in about an hour later. Dining hall was clean and tidy without feeling crowded. I would go back again.

While we sometimes order entrees at Nepalese restaurants, more often we order a variety of momos and various appetizers to get maximum flavor input.

All 4 types of momos were the same dumpling, but prepared and served differently, and were equally delicious. The accompanying chutney made it even better. - Everest Sekuwa Set: Good. A nice. A good sampling of various dishes, all new experiences for me and all good. Chicken was a bit spicy for the uninitiated. Service was nice enough and food came out quickly. Overall, a good visit. I will be on the lookout for momo in the future!

Their sushi is delicious, especially for takeout sushi. I decided to get a platter for dinner for my husband and I. I got their Maki Platter A, which is 36 pieces for $47.95. You get 8 pieces of California, 8 pieces of Spicy Salmon, 10 pieces of Dynamite and 10 pieces of Orange Dragon. UberEats was having a special where if you spend $40 or more you save $11. So I ordered through UberEats for pick up and saved $11 :) Note that with this deal you pay taxes on the regular price and then get $11 off the post-tax total. It took about 25 minutes and pick up was quick. Staff were nice. The rolls were delicious. I loved that the rolls were mostly filling with very little rice. I had requested no sesame seeds and that was no problem at all. The California rolls had cucumber and surimi crab and was topped with masago. The Spicy Salmon rolls had raw salmon mixed with spicy mayo and was topped with tempura bits. The Dynamite rolls had shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumbers, and surimi crab and was topped with masago. The Orange Dragon rolls were Dynamite rolls with the additional topping of sliced raw salmon and sliced avocado. While everything was tasty, I did feel that this platter could have used more variety. The Dynamite and Orange Dragon rolls were too similar. Nonetheless, my husband and I enjoyed the platter. I feel it's a good size for dinner for 2 people. Glad to have discovered this sushi takeout joint near my current work place. It's so convenient to pick up a platter for dinner. Street parking or paid parking in the various nearby lots only.

    I had lunch at Yuzumi and it was delicious!…read more Yuzumi opened in August 2019 and took over the space that was The Bowl. It serves primarily poke/rice bowls, sandwiches, and sushi rolls. I had the Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich with a side salad ($13.95). I loved that the shrimp in the Po Boy was not breaded/deep fried, so it didn't taste greasy or oily at all. The amount of shrimp was good, as I had shrimp in each bite. The sauce had a slight spicy kick to it, and the cabbage slaw added a nice crunchy texture, and a bit of creaminess without being too rich. The bread was dense and it held the sandwich together well, the bread did not get soggy and the sandwich did not fall apart. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich. The side salad was real mixed greens (hurray for no iceberg and no romaine!). It had shredded carrots, cucumbers and grape tomatoes. Vegetables were fresh, and the dressing arrived on the side as requested. The dressing was a sweet and sour vinaigrette, which I enjoyed, as it wasn't too oily. Service was friendly and the place was bright and clean. The layout is unchanged from when the space was The Bowl. It's a very casual eatery for a quick meal, by yourself or with coworkers or friends. Not exactly a romantic spot for a date, IMO. There's one gender-neutral washroom at the back of the restaurant. It was clean. A great place to grab lunch/early dinner (they close at 5pm) if you work at Tunney's Pasture, or live nearby. I'm looking forward to trying their other options! Street parking only.
