| | "This place is so cool. It has a wide variety of sushi and it is delicious. Mr
Bento's rice is prepared differently than other sushi places and leaves you wanting more. A
friendly place to go and always has soothing japanese music playing.
He has classes(which I took and had ALOT of fun),
rice, nori, mirin and other sushi ingredients to choose from. He also has japanese decorations.
It's a small, cozy place to relax, eat misoshiru(miso soup), drink green tea, and jump into the
sushi! It is my favourite place to eat!

Although the menu is relatively small, and they did not have any tuna available the day I went, everything that they served was absolutley perfect! The fish was excellent and fresh, the service was friendly and subtely attentive - even the tea was truely superior! Bento Sushi recieves my highest recommendation!

| Reviews: | "The owner told me that the restaurant is named after 'The Tale of Genji' which is an ancient Japanese literature written 1000 years ago. Cool.
Genji has the feel of upscale restaurant that serve Japanese food; there's no 'Japanese restaurant' decor or Japanese front-room staff. However, the Food at Genji was exquisitely prepared and very flavorful and tasty. Well, if you are in Ottawa, Genji Japanese Restaurant is the place. Enjoy!!! " |

| | "I was looking for a Japanese restaurant for my girl friend's birthday. What an unusual place! It’s really close to Elgin (west side of Elgin). We find ourselves in a warm, elegant, atmospheric place. The service was fantastic, especially as we didn't know what to order, and the food was amazing. Sushi was delicious and salmon teriyaki was amazing. We would go back to this place again.

| | "Aside from atmosphere and decor, what makes Genji different than others is that it is a gourmet Japanese restaurant other than sushi and sashimi. Genji is actually a superb get-together place.

Japenses ex-pat at the sushi bar. This is always a good sign.

| | "A comfortable, cozy place, fairly small, with lots of wood in the decor and
interesting Japanese prints on the walls. Tables have large and inviting laquered wood place
settings, instead of the standard issue cloth, plastic, or nothing. The sushi is always fresh and
well made and presented on attractive plates or wood blocks. Small warning: the soya sauce is full
strength -- quite salty. Overall, a very satisfying sushi experience.

Sometimes there's a DJ spinning CDs, not sure of the schedule. Good place to hit before going
clubbing.

| | "Trendy, but the chefs can't handle the crowd. It took over 90 minutes for a very
small order. The prices are steep, which is compounded by the ridiculously small portions.
" |
| | - Suresh (ganjabrown@yahoo.ca) [November 6th 2001] |
| | "Horrible service. Between the chefs and servers we waited over an hour between
drinks and meal despite an empty restaurant. The sushi is far from refined and is expensive.
" |
| | - Gunnar (info@december3.com) [December 4th 2001] |
| | "Atmosphere is very hip - I forgot I was in Ottawa for a while. Sushi is good, but
expensive considering the portion sizes. I've had better/cheaper sushi in NYC but I think this is
very good for Ottawa.

| | "My wife and her friends just went to Kinki’s today for her and her friend’s birthday. We heard they were good, but we did not know there service sucked.
The food was good, but the problem was with the service. We were a group of eight. It took over 1 hour to get the appetizers then once we got the main dish, we did not all get the meals at the same time. Three of us got the meals 20 minutes later than the rest. On top of that, they forgot to get the appetizers for two other guests. Therefore, when my wife decided to complain to the manager, he called her a liar. Once confronted by another guest about his attitude to my wife, he started yelling at the other guest. They did not care the food was late. For the price you pay, you would expect better service. The bill was over $50/person, for that price I can go to the Château Laurier and get better service for my money. This was very not expected and I would NEVER recommend KINKI on York Street in Ottawa to anyone.

| Reviews: | "One of the best sushi spots in Ottawa. Definitely the best price for excellent value. The fish is always perfectly fresh and melts in your mouth. The surroundings are new, bright, and clean. The owner and staff are friendly and get to know their customers. It is the only place I have seen cold-smoked tuna. Highly recommended by
Sunny.

| | "Not the Best Japanese restaurant in Ottawa, you can get better Japanese food with the same price in other restaurant in Ottawa, IMO, over priced. Some sushi was still in their partly-frozen-state when served .... Not the best value, will not recommend.

convenience. The prices are higher than other sushi restaurants around Ottawa and selection is
limited.

Sushi Zone was a great experience! There was friendly service and great sushi at an affordable price. The sushi is made in front of you and had a wonderful selection. It was perfect compliment to the atmosphere of the Byward Market! My favorite Sushi place in Ottawa!
