Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Ottawa

"This cozy izakaya is home to some of the best ramen and sushi in Ottawa but the Japanese bar and restaurant also boasts a handful of appetizers and various bar snacks (like gyoza, tempura, and karaage) that were made to pair with the rotating Japanese beer and whiskey menu. Trust us when we say it’s very easy to waste a good couple of hours knocking back high balls and karaage in the cozy, dimly-lit space."

"Pho might be ubiquitous in Ottawa, but this Toronto import dominates the noodle soup market, with locals gravitating to the shop in droves since it arrived in 2016. Sansotei’s two Ottawa locations make their pork bone broth in-house daily, and you can choose between thick or thin noodles in six varieties, from classic tonkotsu to a wilder new addition: tomato. Almost creamy in mouthfeel, but not at all heavy, it’s a damn fine bowl of ramen."

"Slurp up soul-warming tonkotsu or miso soups with pork from this excellent Toronto ramen import. Both the Centretown and Nepean locations are open regular hours for take-out."

"Combine great food with a modern, warm ambiance and you get Kiko Sushi Bar. Located in Preston Square, this spot is your go-to place for every type of sushi and maki imaginable. We recommend the Spider Roll and the Spicy Scallop Roll, but everything on the menu is top notch."

"You can tell that it was made fresh because the ingredients inside such as the sweet potato and the shrimp were still warm!"

"Ordered the katsu and tuna tartare for takeout and it was delicious. Large portions, well packaged, and the tuna tartare is absolutely to die for."

"This park is in the New Edinburgh neighborhood close to the Rideau Falls. One distinguishing feature of this park is the white Minto bridge, built in 1900, which actually consists of three bridges that cross the Rideau river. The park is pretty large and is used mainly for walks and bike rides by the Rideau river bank."

"I think it’s safe to say that is a vegan restaurant in Ottawa that truly sticks to its name. With a peaceful, “garden-like” atmosphere, the Peace-Garden serves a wide variety of vegan-friendly North American, Indian and other international cuisines. From an organic smoothie and juice bar, Indian style thali plates to burgers and even more, this fountain-side dining restaurant is perfect for a brunch out with friends or just a quick take-out on the go!"

"Inside the lobby of a multi-use building in the vibrant ByWard Market neighbourhood, you’ll find Peace Garden, a tiny vegetarian eatery. This unassuming hidden gem has been serving international vegetarian and vegan cuisine since 1992. Choose from South Indian cauliflower curry, Mexican lasagna, the thali platter and an impressive array of treats like truffles and date squares."

"The Green Door is a staple on the Ottawa vegetarian scene, having served high-quality buffet-style food since 1988. The range of dishes on offer varies but is largely based around seasonal availability and the restaurant’s close relationship with its local suppliers. The hot food options often include a variety of vegetable-based curries, noodle dishes, pastas and quiches, with the self-serve style meaning you have the option to try many different cuisines and simply pay according to weight."

"The Old Ottawa East neighbourhood, located a five-minute drive from downtown Ottawa, is home to the beloved Green Door – an Ottawa staple since 1988. Follow your cravings and choose from the many savoury and sweet dishes served in the pay-by-weight buffet, like tofu broccoli stir fry, quiche and avocado salad. Dishes are all labeled to indicate which are organic, vegan, gluten-free, or contain dairy, egg, gluten, wheat, nuts, soy, or sesame."

"A post shared by The Green Door (@thegreendoorrestaurant) on Jan 3, 2020 at 8:16am PST. The Green Door Restaurant is another wonderful food establishment in Ottawa popular for serving tasty brunch buffet. If you are vegetarian or vegan, you should definitely go for the buffet here."
