I can only speak for the vegan menu and the staff.....both get 100/100! Absolutely incredible!

Always so yummy and amazing quality! Definitely the best place I've tried so far to get poke bowls and sushi. I always get the Hawaiian poke bowl and it's always filled with so much tuna that I end up finishing the rice and have extra tuna left (whereas everywhere else hardly gives any fish).

We have found that Shinka has the best consistent sushi for take out. The sashimi pieces are always very generous. Love their Japanese calamari - nice light batter and large serving. The rolls have less rice and more fish and other ingredients. We enjoy the Osaka, Butterfly and Rainbow rolls.

Every bite was amazing. The fish exploded with flavour and the components were all well composed and balanced. The best sushi I've had in Ottawa so far. A little on the pricey side but once you taste, you know why.

Big fan of sushi and I am so happy I've discovered this place. By far the freshest. Per the comments below, the prices are a bit high but you pay for the quality for sure. Would absolutely recommend!

Best sushi 🍣 we've had in Ottawa and excellent service.

Leo Lee via google.com - May 13, 2021

Recently tried Shinka Sushi Bar for the first time and I can't believe I hadn't tried this restaurant earlier. The food is amazing and you can tell they only use fresh and high quality ingredients. They are also very catering towards any allergies. It's difficult to find a sushi restaurant that can offer gluten free options for someo ... read more

Best sushi in town! Definitely not "run of the mill" sushi, plenty of unique flavour combos, and all very fresh.

C Johnson via google.com - May 7, 2021

Some of the best sushi I ever had. Special recommendations: try the avocado Maki and shiitake roll.

Rita Neyer, PhD via google.com - May 7, 2021

This place is pricey, but worth every penny. I am particularly fond of their specials. Delicious sushi, always super fresh, beautiful presentation even when you order for take out. Great for business lunch, date or celebration meal. Highly recommend!

Galina Tsyganovskaya via google.com - May 6, 2021

One of the best places to eat in downtown Toronto/financial district (dine-in or takeout). The menu is based on seasonal ingredients which is always good. Innovative, fresh, and delicious food is what you’ll get here.

Shinka sushi is a total winner! My family was so thrilled to find a delicious sushi place in Ottawa that also has a vegan menu. This is such a treat for us and we always look forward to ordering from the amazing and varied vegan menu. Thank you Shinka!

Larissa Shaaked via google.com - Apr 21, 2021

Best sushi in Ottawa hands down. You pay a slightly higher price but you get the quality that comes with it. Even a simple rainbow roll beats other places because of the attention to detail and nice cuts of fish on top. Even the box that the order arrives in is beautiful. We came for the Otoro, but stayed for outstanding variety an ... read more

Best vegan sushi in Ottawa! They have a great variety of vegan options and love all the different rolls and their vegan Gyoza are amazing.

Every selection on the menu I ordered for a special birthday lunch was delicious and a feast for the eye. The calamari batter was the fluffiest I've eaten - and I'm Greek! This is the best sushi restaurant in town and I can't wait to go back. Thank you, Shinka crew!

Marina via google.com - Apr 14, 2021

The dine in area is small and cozy and the food is super good. Ordering through UberEats the food taste just as good! The sushi here is of the higher quality which is reflected in the price.

I cannot express how much I love Shinka Sushi Bar. We've ordered from countless sushi places across Ottawa and they are BY FAR the most delicious, fresh, and caring restaurant.

Always super fresh and delicious!! They take so much pride in there presentation and the service is top notched. Also my spouse has a sesame allergy and they always accommodate it which is so appreciated. I love them so much that I tell everyone I know to go there and if they don't like it I will pay for there meal.

Beatrice Ashlee via google.com - Apr 1, 2021

Ordered takeout from here through their website and it was both incredibly easy and the sushi was delicious. Website offers to set a pickup time so you don't have to guess when it's done and you can plan it around your day! Sushi was the best I've had in Ottawa so far.

Olivia Harvey via google.com - Mar 28, 2021

We ordered from their vegan menu and it was delicious! So many great options to pick from that it was hard to decide. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

Great sushi place. Tasted great. Fish seems fresh. Pieces are well rolled. The cut size of each piece, a little questionable, should it be cut thicker? At least it doesn't fall apart.
