Look at all the snow! I was such a wuss about the cold when I first moved back to Ottawa but now it's like second nature again. I was in serious denial that I was back in the cold, and for the longest time, I refused to wear a proper winter jacket. That didn't last long!
Sushi Kanata is my default sushi place in the west end. Now that I'm back in Ottawa, I get to come here all the time again. Yay! I swear I come here at least once a week.
Sushi Kanata doesn't serve the finest sushi in town, but it is consistent and fresh. This is where I meet up with my good friend Aky to talk about football, the bright side of life, and more football!
Our meals always start with a bowl of miso soup with chives, tofu bits, and kelp.
Miso Soup
My standard lunch is two sushi rolls, and without a doubt, I will always order a spicy tuna roll. My second roll will vary between salmon, sun kissed roll, rainbow, or unagi. On this particular day, I decided on the rainbow roll.
Their spicy tuna is da bomb! Full pieces of tuna with a spicy mayo sauce.

I love mixing loads of wasabi with my low sodium soy sauce. Clears the sinuses with every bite!

Aky orders one thing and one thing only. All the waitresses even know his order by heart! The chirashi bento set is a box set of 12 pieces of sashimi with white rice, a mini salmon roll, a California roll, spring rolls, seaweed salad, and a fresh orange slice.

The owners of Sushi Kanata also own the Sushi Kan buffets on Baseline and Innes Road. I'm not a huge sushi buffet person, so can't say I've been.

I am back! Thx for your msg. Everyone is doing great.
Chirashi bento looks amazing. I would so order that too. What a great price too!
Hmm, looks great! Next time I'm in Kanata, I will check this place out! :)
Lovely feast for the eyes and tummy! Those looks really inviting and delicious. Bookmarked.
Welcome back! The sushi looks pretty good. I've never been to Sushi Kanata, even though we pass it every time we go to my uncle's place.
If you're curious to try AYCE sushi, try the new place called 168 Sushi Buffet. It's on Merivale, if you feel like venturing out there.
Just went tonight. Ownership must have changed, because that was the WORST sushi we've ever had. It looked nothing like your pictures, either. FYI!
Yea, not 100% on ownership but I know the chef has changed because sushi is very hot + cold there now. I still go there out of convenience...but more often than not, I'm not happy with my sushi. They also brought some of their prices down and started an all you can eat lunch and dinner to compete with others in the area. The decline in quality probably has something to do with that as well.
Terrible service, Hit & Miss Food. I have visited Sushi Kanata a number of times and found service to be hit & miss and the food mostly good with some misses. Tonight I ordered 7 items on their all you can eat menu. Something like 15 minutes later I received 1 items (8 pcs of sushi) and after waiting a further 30 minutes/being ignored I decided to pack it in. I nicely told the server I was unhappy, would pay for what I had eaten and was further disappointed to be charged $10.47 for 8 pcs of sushi when the all you can eat price is $19.99. Unless you have a few hours on your hands, sadly I am no longer able to recommend Sushi Kanata. Hopefully management will take a more active presence to provide a positive customer experience.
