Best sushi in Ottawa and beyond!
Everyone at Shinka cares and is amazing, and it shows in the food and service. Freshest ingredients sometimes shipped directly from Japan, which has the best quality for certain ingredients. The mix of flavors are superb. The rolls are so good!

Our favourite sushi place, always fresh, delicious and creative. The takeouts stay fresh and tasty , good service and super friendly. It’s worth crossing the border for, we miss the dining in experience.

We came upon Shinka restaurant by chance since we stayed at the Carleton Suites across the street. It was fantastic! Great Sushi and wonderful service. Our two grandsons visiting from Tokyo inhaled the sushi! Ended up being our most expensive meal out, but also our most delicious. The restaurant was packed when we were there, but mos ... read more

I went to this quaint little spot for a daddy/daughter lunch date and it was really nice. My 6 yr old is really in love with sushi right now so this was all about her take. The ambiance was nice for a small restaurant, staff was very friendly and service was excellent. The food was delicious and well prepared.

Great sushi and beautiful presentation. If you are not up for sushi, Shinka Sushi also has a delicious chicken katsu box on the menu.

We got the spicy scallop roll and tsunami roll. Both were so delicious and fresh. Plenty of fresh ingredients and nothing that was overpowering the fresh seafood. We got the 15 piece sashimi platter ($40) which came with the chef's choice of fish, which includes fresh sashimi from Toyosu Japan (shipment comes in every Thursday!). We ... read more

Went to celebrate a birthday on a saturday night, it was quiet busy already. I recommend doing a reservation before going. Food was delicious, very fresh and presentation was incredible . Service was great . I just loved everything! They have vegan and vegetarian options, that it’s just amazing.

Very nice place. Clean and traditional where you see the food prepared in front of you (if you sit at the back). The quality is great and prices fair. Owner is hands on himself.

Best Sushi in Ottawa!
Absolutely love what they’ve done to the place! Fresh new look but same amazing dishes! Totally recommend the sushi delight desert, it’s one of a kind.

Always a great experience at Shinka. I've been a long time fan of this place (Food, staff, ambiance, etc.) and have never been disappointed. The sushi is exceptionally fresh and the price are very decent. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely amazing! I went with a group of friends and they were so kind to move tables and accommodate our group. Price is fantastic, food is amazing, servers are so attentive and kind and respectfulof dietary restrictions. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Definitely going back!

Visiting for a conference, found this gem and was not disappointed! Amazing sushi and great interaction with staff, especially Andre. The torched salmon belly nigiri he brought us at the end was absolutely to die for. Highly recommended!

Super service excellent sushi, carpaccio...miammmm wow je doit revenir pour en goûter d'autres, le serveur super attentionné! Un délice pour les papilles, de plus faut absolument "réservé" petit endroit!!

Super service excellent sushi wow je doit revenir pour goûter en d'autres, le serveur super attentionné!
Nancy Whelland via google.com - Jan 10, 2020
Their ardoise menu is where the magic happens! Expensive, yes, but one, if not the best, sashimi (carpaccio, and tataki too) in Ottawa. They get specialty fish not just the usual. The regular rolls are also very good, and for sure superior to chains, so it's a a safe bet for lunch at a decent price for the quality.

Very nice and cozy place with very kind staff. The food is really tasty and I would definitely come here again.

Cosy sushi place in the downtown. Nice ambiance, friendly service. The food was amazing. This is the best sushi we've eaten in Ottawa. Check out some of the specially rolls. We also had blue fun tuna which was amazing.
Ross Koningstein via google.com - Jan 1, 2020
Good, really good and creative sushi. Not giving 5 stars because the day we had dinner the wait was very long. To be fair we arrived almost unannounced (we booked 10 minutes before) at peak hour, and the waiter told us that there would be some delay in the service. Even like this we did not expect to be that long. They were aware of ... read more

I stopped in here with my sister ...
I stopped in here with my sister and a friend for a quick bite to eat before an event. We only had 20 minutes to eat, and the staff was not only friendly but very accomodating! We were in and out within 20 minutes and the sushi was GREAT (I had the dynamite rolls - in the middle)! We sat at the bar and watched as the itamae's prepare ... read more

Sushi was great, the rolls are quite large so you have a very good filling to rice ratio. Nice service, however we went for lunch on saturday and it was not busy. Gyoza was tasty. Best part was they slightly roast the inari to give a much deeper and richer flavour.
Calum Donaldson via google.com - Dec 14, 2019
First time I ordered from this place and I really recommend it! The sushi (especially the fish) is so fresh! Just by looking at the red vivid color of the Tuna, you know that it is high quality! I ordered the new style sashimi (on the left), the Rainbow (top right sushis) and Tsunami (bottom row sushis) ans they were all amazing! ... read more

Cozy little sushi spot in the downtown core. Arguably the best sushi in Ottawa. Note that it fills up quickly, so reservations are recommended!

I came here for dinner by myself while on vacation and was seated right away.

I've had a lot of sushi in my life and I must say that this is up there among the tastiest selection I've had. Service was very good. You will not be dissapointed. Also the prices are fair and the atmosphere is decent.

Bon service, la nourriture est fraîche et excellente. Je suis amateur de sushi et il sont super. Un choix correct qui pourrai être bonifier, mais qui enlève rien au plaisir. Les calmars sont aussi délicieux.....
Guillaume Potvin via google.com - Nov 26, 2019
This place was very accommodating. they had a nice sized menu not overly bearing but the food that they did was really well done. as a vegan it is sometimes hard to find a sushi place that you would be able to eat at when your friends want to go out. This place gave me a bunch of vegetarian / vegan options and they taste amazing.

Shinka is by far the best Sushi Bar in Ottawa. The food is simply spectacular. John, the Chef/Owner (should I say artist) cooked for us some incredible combination of fresh fish that had us go WOW at every bite. I've been there a dozen time now and the quality of the food, the experience and the service is always bar none. My highest ... read more

No holding back on sashimi quality here. It's top notch. Chef was generous enough to pull out the wasabi root, and make actual wasabi for us. The cuts are generous in size per piece. There is no smell. This is the sign of freshness. The variety was great, and the Toro was at perfect temp to express the velvety mouth satisfying ... read more
