Fast, great service. attentive staff. Good quality food. Big portions. They also serve complimentary toasted rice tea. Good alternative to a Japanese buffet.Ordered the tokoyaki, big boss, assorted tempura, fire crab.

J:Unique has absolutely delicious contemporary sushi rolls and other Japanese restaurant staples. Their special rolls are very large and extremely well presented, which adds to the decadence of the experience, especially for such a reasonable price. I do feel the toppings on some of the menu items were a little bit excessive, but this is definitely not your traditional sushi restaurant, so it’s all part of the fun. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a new spin on sushi and want the high quality & great taste to match! Note that J:Unique is quite tiny and doesn’t take reservations, so you may have to come early or try your luck if you’re hoping to stop by on a busy night like the weekend.

Cute little spot in Centretown.First off, I'll say that the service was excellent.We ordered the spicy chicken (finger-lickin' good!) and a sushi platter. Not sure if they were having an off-day, but the sushi was rolled a bit amateurishly. I think it had to do with the rice that was overcooked and soggy, and the yam tempura was undercooked in certain areas and soggy in others. Apart from that, the flavours were quite yummy.To note, I've ordered take-out from them once before and that wasn't an issue then.My recommendation is to get their special rolls as they're fun dishes with great presentation, and the chicken karage!

I recently visited a Japanese restaurant in downtown Ottawa for the first time, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Despite the quirky service, which was not bad, it was understandable as the restaurant was extremely busy. I would recommend arriving early, as they do not take reservations ahead of time.This new restaurant is a great find for anyone looking for a wide selection of Japanese food options. From sushi to tempura, their menu had something for everyone, and all of it was delicious. Our dinner party all loved the food options, and we were impressed by the quality, variety, and taste of everything we tried.Compared to many other Japanese restaurants in Ottawa, this one stood out as being a notch above the rest. The dishes were expertly prepared and beautifully presented, and the flavors were simply divine. We particularly enjoyed the sushi rolls, which were fresh and flavorful, as well as the ramen, which were perfectly cooked and served in a savory broth.Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic Japanese dining experience in downtown Ottawa. While the service may be a bit quirky, it is understandable given the restaurant's popularity and the high demand for their delicious food. So, if you're looking for a great meal with friends or family, I would definitely give this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed!

Not traditional sushi, in general, everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The Godzilla crunch specialty roll is interesting. We probably will try some other kind of specialty items in the future. The spicy chicken karagge was ok, maybe takeout is not a good choice because it became very soft, not crunch at all. The squid ball is mediocre, too doughy.

A hidden gem in Ottawa. Pricing is actually very reasonable considering how filling the sushi is. Delicious combinations and flavours that are hard to find in Ottawa. The sushi is creative, appealing and mouth watering delicious!

Good sushi albeit a tad decadent. That is, the tasty of the fish can very easy be overwhelmed by the rest of the many other flavours and saltiness. I would recommend having some more traditional rolls or sashimi rather than the special rolls. Fire Dragon rolls make for great spectacle (see video) but are a bit difficult to eat without them falling apart. Plum wine is very tasty if you’re into sweet drinks. Also, apparently they don’t take reservations.

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.
