Really great rolls. Sashimi was fresh, melt in your mouth. Exceptional service even made items that were not on the menu. Worth the price.

This is the best sushi in Ottawa, in fact the best I’ve experienced in my life - the family’s passion and dedication to the craft does not go unnoticed. I also appreciate that they use compostable takeout containers. Thank you for everything you do!

This is the best sushi in Ottawa. Ive tried most of the other sushi spots here and they dont hold a candle to the quality. The first thing you will notice is the rice having the perfect amount of bite and consistency. The rolls have a good balance of uniqueness with simplicity. Regarding feedback, I would love to see some more nice cuts of fish (ie. toro) but this still hits the spot everytime. The other reviews complain about the rice. They clearly have poor taste in sushi.

Some of the best specialty rolls I’ve tasted in Ottawa. Must get the first roll in my pictures I forget the name but it’s the 3rd one on the menu at their takeout counter under Cherry Blossom. Pretty unique flavours and overall very satisfied, I would come again. Miso soup was also great and piping hot. Great service, so kind! Only tip would be to improve on the rice.

We just loved this place. They DO have a few tables to sit, but mostly it’s takeout. The sushi is awesome - the shiitake roll is a must try if you like mushrooms, and I’ve never seen the squid wakame roll anywhere, but it was AHMAZING. Fresh, delicious sashimi. Happy to support small family owned and run business!

I've ordered here many times and have never been disappointed! The rolls are well made and always fresh. The fish tastes excellent and their ingredients are always good (cucumber, avocado etc). I like how the menu is a bit different which allows me to try new sushi options, but at the same time I wish it included more regular rolls from other sushi restaurants (ex dragon rolls). The food quality is always there whether you do pick up or delivery. The staff are very friendly and helpful when you pick up.

We’ve ordered here many times and have never been disappointed! All items are well made and always fresh. The sashimi especially the tuna and salmon is excellent. The food quality is amazing and the owners are always friendly!
