J:unique Kitchen - Ottawa

Amazing. Best pork belly I've ever eaten in my life. I usually don't like it in my ramen but you would be missing out if you didn't!Cute sweet little house location! This was one of the best stops I made in my first Ottawa trip!

Good atmosphere and great presentation on every dish, but honestly overpriced for the quality of fish that they offer. The presentation is definitely impressive, but it feels like it gets way more priority than anything else. Many of the rolls feel like the sauce and rice is way out shining (or overpowering? the fish and other ingredients.That being said, the cuts of fish are generally large and quite fresh, but look and taste cheap while the presentation and price make me expect otherwise.Particularly the Atlantic salmon tasted extremely lacking and seemed more like grocery store frozen farmed salmon than the rich Atlantic salmon I would actually want to pay for in a restaurant. It almost tasted... watery? Even though it was cut skillfully and presented beautifully and costed $9 just for two pieces of nigiri.Overall, it feels to me like a conflicted place. If they can get their fish and balance of flavours in their dishes up to the level of their presentation, it will be an awesome spot.

Very excellent Japanese restaurant with a small cozy atmosphere, with delicious food and fast service.Came here on Friday evening without any reservation, and we were lucky enough to get a table right away. I highly recommend coming early or calling because they can fill up fairly quickly, and the seating is very limited.Our server was friendly and quick to get our food. We had to move to a different table and got compensated with free miso soup on the house!Ordered the combo set, specifically the big boss roll with sashimi and the sock eye salmon pressed sushi.Everything tastes phenomenal. The sashimi was very thick and fresh, the big boss roll was very flavourful and the pressed sushi had a nice ratio with sauce, fish and riceI highly recommend coming and trying their menu!

Only tried a couple of the special maki rolls, some flavors I never thought of. This is not the traditional rolls you'd expect to have in sushi restaurant. I'm not so sure if I like them, the sauce was too rich and overwhelming, I felt sick for a whole day to a point I don't even wanna step into a sushi restaurant for a while. It's still interesting, just didn't fit my bill.

The sushi is delicious! So flavourful and also very filling (big portions with loads of toppings). We ordered the sockeye salmon Oshi, the Big Boss special roll, and the tempura yam maki.Staff was efficient and friendly.Can’t wait to come back to try other things from the menu.
