Best sushi ever!!

Zainab Mendzigall via google.com - Jan 17, 2022

Rainbow rolls are tasty and a good size - not too big, not too small. Good amount of pickled ginger with my order too, and a nice-yet-odd variety of sauces (we got wafu salad dressing even though we only ordered sushi? Dipped a piece of sushi in it just for fun, it was pretty good). Love the monthly community delivery to Westport, as ... read more

Ordered sushi to go via Uber eats. This place never misses the mark. Some of the best sashimi in ottawa! So fresh.

We are impressed with the quality of fish delivered by Shinka Sushi, as well as the chef’s creativity in creating such beautiful food. We have been ordering take outs from Shinka Sushi very often and the quality has been consistent. We always order when we have out of town guests both to show off our town’s sushi restaurant and to sh ... read more

Great good! Lots of vegan options. But not much that is vegan and gluten free. Limits things for my wife. But what we got we loved so much! Definitely recommend.

We're usually an ayce sushi kind of family. My husband likes quantity over quality haha. But for my 31st pandemic birthday with an 8 month old, we decided to splurge on a night in with some good quality sushi. Our first order was an Omakase 150 and an order of calamari. They had a special on at the time and we got carpaccio for free.

Omg. Delicious community delivery. Hook....line...and sinker..

Among the best sushi spots in Ottawa, for both quality and originality. A delightful discovery!

Martin Sauvé via google.com - Nov 8, 2021

Amazing nigiri, amazing maki. Best place hands down to get sushi in Ottawa. The staff was very helpful, and the food even better than that.!

Thank you for offering community deliveries! Was so excited to finally be able to order from Almonte and it did not disappoint. I have an egg allergy and often struggle to order sushi, but because of your vegan options, I had so many choices and I was able to get spicy vegan mayo on a salmon roll. Will be ordering again!

I'm usually more of a sashimi and white rice type of person but Shinka made me fall in love with maki as their creations are unique , light and flavourful ! They also have the best lightly battered octopus I've ever had. Well...try everything , I'm sure it's all worth it. The price perfectly reflect the quality, best in the region.

Isabelle Chartrand via google.com - Oct 27, 2021

Hands down BEST sushi in Ottawa. John is the master of sushi. I've been working with him for the past year and I leave him to be creative with his work.

Excellent food. Just order well in advance for pickup.

Devin Baines via google.com - Oct 16, 2021

Best Sushi spot in Ottawa by a long shot. I stick to there vegan options but they outshine anything else I've ever tried. I really love their mushroom rolls and Inari. The portions are perfect and they do not cut any corners, even on simple avo Maki.

I got Shinka delivered to Kemptville (they do a different area every day, some areas have two days a month). I was so impressed!

Also $10 for del ... read more

Top destination for excellent sushi in Ottawa. A friend referred Shinka for a real good sushi and ever since I tried it never gone back to any other places for sushi!

I visited this location for the first time during the pandemic. They are only doing take out now but the food is still amazing. Easily the best dynamite roll I have ever had. The Bento box is also extremely filling! Will come again.

Jacintha Gedeon via google.com - Sep 7, 2021

Ordered via the community delivery. Great idea! Got the 32pc premium set, a piece of Wagyu nigiri, and spicy salmon aburi poke bowl. Absolutely worth the price, the fish was delicious and the preparation was excellent.

julian via google.com - Aug 26, 2021

Fresh, tasty sushi, unique maki options.

Mr. Caputo via google.com - Aug 24, 2021

Best sushi I've had in Ottawa so far. Great quality, fresh fish with nice deep flavours. Definitely also the priciest Sushi I've ever had, but I think this is worth it for what you get. Great customer service as well.

Joseph Botros via google.com - Aug 14, 2021

Love getting take out or eating in at this place (pre-covid times). The owner is passionate about his food and the service he provides and it shows. The staff is great and provide excellent service! This is hands down my go to sushi place.

Chantal B via google.com - Aug 11, 2021

Wow. Ordered take out. By far the best shushi I’ve had in Ottawa.

Absolutely delicious and, hands down, the best Sushi in the city! To the average person sushi may simply look like a little ball of rice with a slice of raw fish on top, but there is so much more that goes into the art of sushi-making. It must have the right colour, flavour, and texture and John and his team achieved just that! I hig ... read more

There are only two top sushi places in Ottawa and Shinka is one of them. Assortments are fresh and delicious. Whether I order a takeout or dine in I am never disappointed with the food.

Sashimi pieces were as fresh as you can get in Ottawa and the pieces were of a decent size. The rolls and nigiri were tasty as well expect maybe the chef’s rolls which was a bit weird (it was wrapped in rice paper). Not sure why we were given a massive slab of wasabi (bottom right of the pic). It tasted more like tube packaged than ... read more

Jack Yang via google.com - Jul 12, 2021

Got this sushi box delivered for an at home birthday dinner. They offer such a good variety for us vegetarian sushi lovers. Many of their rolls come with personal unique sauces. I can’t wait to go dine in person when the restrictions allow it. Very clean, classy and appetizing presentation.

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.

Since I'm expecting, I've been avoiding sushi, but the husband and I both had cravings for it and we thought we'd make the trip downtown for takeout and treat ourselves to Shinka for our anniversary.

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

Environmentally conscious with amazing vegan options. Loved it!

Melanie Hartshorn via google.com - May 2, 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 vegan sushi in Ottawa! They have a great variety of vegan options and love all the different rolls and their vegan Gyoza are amazing.

Best sushi in Ottawa hands down. You pay a slightly higher price but you get the quality that comes with it.

We came for the Otoro, but stayed for outstanding variety an ... read more

Hong Zhang via google.com - Apr 20, 2021

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.

Always super fresh and delicious!! They take so much pride in there presentation and the service is top notched.

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
