Ottawa Foodies

i thought that place was very expensive for the amount of food ive ordered some fish that sounded good it came as a tiny square with some rice.
came up to 32$ i ate and left and felt ripped off

I ate here for dinner today before a trip to the theatre and was fairly impressed. It was a bit slow when I arrived and I had to agonize over the menu. Everything looked good. Expensive, too. But that's to be expected from a Japanese place in downtown Ottawa. Or maybe that's just the student in me talking. My meal came to just under $30 without booze or appetizer, but with desert of green tea icecream (very nice) and I didn't grudge them it.

The service was nice, as was the atmosphere. The tenpanyaki for the others at my table was artfully done. All in all a pleasent meal.

They have sister restaurants in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria. Never been to the Ottawa location, but the Victoria spot is a favourite for lunch. You get a tasty salad, a knife show, fresh teppanyaki'd chicken, shrimp or beef and veggies and all you can eat rice... all for under $10 (Victoria location: lunch only)

It's really all about the steak sauce, however. This wonderful condiment is offered to soak your rice and harden your arteries. I don't know what's in it, but I'll bet you butter or cream or both figure into it. Savoury success!!

I had the BBQ eel today for dinner at this restaurant. It was very good, not over-cooked and well seasoned. The soup it came with was a little bland and only had a couple slivers of button mushrooms floating in it, but the salad was nice with a pleasant dressing.
