Had a group of 10, 2 were 2 yr old children. The food was good, the flow of food coming was good for appetizers. The price was kinda higher then previous reviews stated, like sushi for two pieces is $6-$10 which to me is pricey. Nobody complained about the quality or taste as it was all delicious. Two people bought a set meal with many appetizers but the problem was the main course, everyone was done and they still didn't have their food. When we asked they looked into it but nobody came back to tell us the answer, but the manager knew the answer. We never got the answer till we paid the bill which was they forgot to make it or the chef was trying to pump out other tables main courses but really if 6 have finished their main course, do two people really need to wait. Those two got 10% off as a result. My meal came to 80 but included for two appetizers, wine, soup (which was yummy) main meal and desert. Service was horrible, our server was ok but the guy working and manager didn't communicate well not due to language but updates on our meals. You would ask for water and they would forget, we ordered tea at the end and it never came so we paid our bill and didnt get billed for it. You would wave down a waiter at the bar he would finish his little clean up then come see us, forget what we want and would have to remind him. Of course orders can be forgotten but I am not sure I would go again. The waiters and waitress need to learn how to do their job such as make sure you dont forget request, make sure you have enough water, ask how things are and check up a couple times and just common things you would expect when you drop 40$ for a complete meal.

We finally tried out this restaurant for lunch. If it is not our friend's recommendation, I don't think I will be able to find this hidden gem in Ottawa. The food was great and can't believe the low price. For less than $15 (before tax), I filled my stomach with healthy and delicious food. I will bring my family here for dinner.

I've eaten sushi all over the world, and Genji is far and away the best in Ottawa. Which isn't necessarily saying much given the sorry state of the sushi grade fish this city often tries to pass off on the unsuspecting consumer. Here the quality is excellent, the staples are great, and the creative rolls and appetizers are at worse ambitious, and at best addictive. Great ambience, best bang for your sushi buck in terms of quality in Ottawa. Would be great to have free edamame with your meals; you'd get a lot of other people hooked on it and coming back.

We went to Genji for dinner because most of the restaurants were closed today for the Victoria long weekend. To our surprise, the food was outstanding. We were so pleased with our meal and we gave $20 tips to the server.

A bento box of satisfying sushi restaurants in Ottawa

A bento box of satisfying sushi restaurants in Ottawa

A downtown destination for Japanese fusion cuisine, with bright blonde décor and a modern take on traditional shoji screens, Genji offers both teriyaki and tempura dishes, along with sushi. The seaweed salad, dressed with sesame dressing, makes a nice starter. Nigiri options include flying fish roe and cuttlefish. Various unusual fruit maki are available at dinner.
