Review from Gabby F.
Gloucester, ON
4/30/2012
Ordered the Kyoto Dinner for takeout. 30$ for 25 assorted sushi items. Decent and enough for 2, if not a tad expensive.
Fish is extremely fresh and there are lots of options to choose from. Everything looked delicious, and their salmon is especially good. If you take your time to look through the menu you can definitely have a moderate-priced meal, or go all out and spend $$$.
A downside would be that it's hard to figure out how much you get for your money. A lot of the combos just describe the type of sushi and not the amount of rolls or pieces. If you're there in person I'd definitely ask lots of questions.
We tried one of the salads, the sweet vinegar one, and it's not really my thing, but it was still a decent portion and freshly made.
All in all: seems like a fairly reliable place to go for sushi, at a price that's more reasonable than what you tend to find downtown.
Can I just say, also, their hybrid Rapture rolls look and sound amazing! -

New place on Preston. Nice interior. Attentive staff. Very spacious, (mostly empty) but also good for those who don't like lots of tables crammed together.
Ordered one of those funky hybrid rolls (Kamikaze, I think) the kind that has the usual roll stuff on the inside plus some crunchy tempura flakes and something else rolled around the outside -- tuna maybe?
Very good. So good we ordered a second similar roll with smoked eel. Nice, each of these was about 8 bucks.
Also ordered another small tuna roll (about 4 bucks). Not remarkable but the fish was fresh.
I was there with a 2/1 facebook coupon. I think most of the other diners had one too (by most, I mean the other 8 people in the restaurant.) Not sure the place is going to last long unless it can hold on until the summer patio season, in which case it has a prime location and lay-out.
One bonus is that they offer free parking in the new garage under the building after 5:30. A great benefit given how crappy Preston Street parking is in the evenings.
Try it, but you'd better hurry. -

Went here for lunch on a weekday.
Pretty extensive menu, I was impressed by that. The place is decorated quite nice. Our servers were polite and friendly, but they were a bit inattentive and didn't come around to refill our tea - one star off for that.
Depending on what you order lunch could either be moderately priced or quite expensive. I had an order of goma-ae and an avocado roll and it was $10. Given the area and what I usually pay for lunch at a nice sit-down restaurant, that seems about average.
They do have a variety of veggie rolls, which is nice. Choices actually go beyond your run-of-the-mill avocado roll and kappa maki. They also have a variety of noodle dishes. -

If you love sushi pleeeeeze get out and support this place!! There is no other sushi restaurant that I have found in Ottawa that has fresher fish, or a more creative sushi menu. After years of living in Vancouver where I mindlessly sucked back sushi, not appreciating how GOOD it was, I moved to Ottawa and after swearing I would NEVER eat sushi in this town again, I found Kiko. The decor I find quite beautiful with very clean lines and a urban zen feel. But the decor alone would not have brought me back again and again. The sushi is quite simply, exquisite! Regardless if you are ordering a simple tuna maki roll, or one of the more intricate creations, the rice is perfect, the fish is fresh and the shrimp gyoza are unbelievable! Miso soup? YUMMY! Agedashi Tofu? MORE PLEASE! The only down side is that it is a little on the expensive side, but...good fish doesn't come cheap, and life's too short to eat bad sushi!
