Suisha Gardens, Ottawa

Best place to go eat authentic japanese food in Ottawa. The sashimi is always fresh and delicious and their menu of tenpura, teriyaki and so on will make you want to come back again and again. The staff is friendly and the service excellent.

Suisha Gardens has the best Japanese food selection, food quality, service and ambiance in Ottawa (do not forget their store, Kayeda Mart, located beside the restaurant)! Some may say it is a bit pricey, but I believe for the quality you get, it's not expensive at all! You may sit on the main floor at the bar or tables (lanterns, tradidional decoration, sushi boats) where you can see the sushi chef prepare your sushi or you can sit in traditional rooms (downstairs) where a water stream flows (you step on flat rocks to get to your table). Fresh food that melts in your mouth every time plus friendly polite staff. I have recommended Suisha Gardens to everyone and they all loved it.

Great setting, they also have "tatami" rooms which reflect real Japanese restaurants. They have a great selection of authentic Japanese food, like what you would actually find in japan. And of course, they also have sushi. This sushi is the BEST sushi in the city, and it rivals high-quality sushi you would find in Japan. Prices are really high, though, but that's the price you pay for good food. Service is also good, but may be slow at times. However, this restaurant is definitely one of my personal favs.

Have been going here for a very, very long time. It is evidently very well managed and the staff are tops. The noon time box lunches are exceptional and very inexpensive. This restaurant is also highly rated for sushi. Reservations are a good idea.

I loooooooved my experience at the restaurant. Loved the food and truly LOVED the decor!! We had a nice little japanese suite and it's very traditional. The service was very good, even though our server was in training. :o) :o) I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

The ambiance and service here is exceptional. The food is well prepared by very cheerfull chefs. Definately worth paying average price for a GREAT meal.
