Best Karaage chicken I’ve ever had. You have to try it. Excellent service and the chef is extremely kind/talented. Must try if you’re in the area.

The staff is charming!! The food is amazing too! The prices are just right. Looking forward to go back for sure!

The spicy salmon and dumplings were amazing! One of my fave restos in town now. Definitely go there if youre tired of β€œcorporation food”. Definitely a good local resto/gem. The designs of the place are nice if you want to take pics too(its not a β€œtake out” resto looking resto lol, its cute if you dine in!) You wont be disappointed πŸ©·πŸ’•

This has been the best sushi we have ever had. All the meat we got was extremely fresh. Even the most basic California roll was delicious. It was evident that the rice was freshly cooked as it was not too dry or sticky. The staff there are very kind and attentive. They offered us a seat and water as we were waiting for our take out order. We will definitely be back to this restaurant! Thank you to the lovely staff who catered to us.

Wow, such an unbelievable hidden gem ! The sushis are so creative (our favourite is the volcano roll) and the quality is always at the highest level.

The service is always the best. The chef is clearly working tirelessly to give us the best sushis. His wife is the sweetest and makes us feel so comfortable even if we are just there to pick up our online order.

We will absolutely be loyal customers and will recommend!

P.S. Please be indulgent when you order online or via an app. This is a family owned sushi shop and they put incredible effort into their work. Any amount of wait (or even no wait at all) is totally worth it !!!

By far the best sushi I have ever had. What an incredible culinary experience from start to finish.
The chef, who is also the waiter and owner, is exceptionally kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about his craft. He told us that he drives to Montreal several times a week to personally source the freshest fish possible so he can offer the freshest sushi in town, and you can absolutely taste the difference in every bite.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi or is looking for an authentic, high quality dining experience.
This is the kind of restaurant you want to come back to again and again.

My friends and I discovered this place and I dare say it has the best sushi that Ottawa and Gatineau has to offer. It tastes so fresh and the food is delicious. It’s located behind the building of the SAQ location. You can find parking on the strip at the back. Place is very clean, the staff is extremely polite and friendly. If you’re in the area I recommend you stop by. Prices are fair especially for the quality. I spent $30 and was full at the end.
