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.

While we sometimes order entrees at Nepalese restaurants, more often we order a variety of momos and various appetizers to get maximum flavor input. Momo options here are only chicken or vegetable, but you can order them prepared 4 different ways. And if you're really in the mood for them - like we were - you can get the platter of 20. The beverage list is straightforward: waters, sodas, hot green tea, and mango lassis. Dining here was a very satisfying experience in many ways.

Looks like they took over an old diner, and didn't spend any money on the decor. But looks are always secondary to the food. I tried the following; - Everest Combo Momo: Excellent. 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!

Gourmet Sushi is a takeout/delivery only restaurant, no dine-in space whatsoever. I found out about…read morethis place while walking around on my lunch hour, re-exploring the area, since I was working at a different location for the past few years (the businesses in the Byward Market and Lowertown have changed a lot in the last few years, but that's another story). 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.

It feels a bit like a speakeasy. We usually order à la carte and get different rolls but this time we decided to go for the omakase tasting menu. For the à la carte, I would give them 5/5. For the tasting menu, maybe 4/5. We got the cheapest tasting menu and everything was very delicious. However, there was no variety. It was almost all salmon and tuna with different topping that repeated like truffle oil. While delicious, this is nothing like a true omakase that focuses on seasonal ingredients or sitting at a sushi bar. We had a great time and good service, but I think I prefer the à la carte!

I think the quality has gone up significantly. Highly recommend!
