    Red dragon roll
    Mike O.

    After a long day touring the city I stopped in at Sushi Fresh for some dinner. While my meal was really good I would recommend taking out. The restaurant itself looks fantastic. It's clean and modern but very small. It can sit about 10 people and definitely cannot accommodate large groups. If I had known that ahead of time I probably would have looked elsewhere for my family of four. I saw most people ordering to go, which I feel is how they get most of their business. The staff was very friendly. You have to order at the counter and they will bring your order to your table. The lady behind the counter was energetic and happy to help. My meal took about 20 minutes to come out and she was very apologetic. She sounded very sincere and apologized 3 times over the course of the night. I wasn't in any rush so it was completely fine. I ordered a red dragon roll, beef gyoza, and the sushi and sashimi combo. The beef gyoza came out first. It was super crispy and cooked perfectly. While it didn't taste much different than your standard gyoza, I loved the crunch on it. The sushi was really good! The fish is cut large and thick, so you know you're getting your money's worth! The rice also has a nice flavor and the sushi as a whole was of really good quality. Overall I really enjoyed my dinner but I would recommend taking out due to the size of the restaurant. A small, quick meal would be fine but I don't think it's well suited for family dinners. The quality of the sushi, on the other hand, is fantastic and I'd definitely order again!

    This relatively small place is a good spot to grab a quick and affordable lunch (for the area). The shari is reasonably seasoned and the seafood is good quality for the price. Service is efficient and nice. You pay for your food before sitting down. The salmon was cut just a tad thick but it had a good fattiness that made it okay.

    Maguro and Sake sashimi

    Excellent and F-R-E-S-H!!! We ordered the shrimp and vegetable tempura, sake and maguro sashimi, ume triple roll and the black dragon roll. The tempura was light and airy. The restaurant changes their oil frequently which is evident in the fragrance of the fried delights. They are generous with their cuts as the eel was a perfect ratio to the other ingredients. The sashimi was fresh and melted on our tongues. The miso soup was great for the fall weather. The service was impeccable especially as they accommodated all our allergies and put sauces on the side. Their friendly service and fresh food is definitely inviting. We will be back!

    I had lunch here recently with my husband and it was great. Very affordable, especially for a restaurant in the Byward Market. They have lunch specials from 11am to 2:30pm. We had the Combo #2 ($11.50), which had Miso soup, salad, 2 beef goyza, 3 avocado maki, 3 spicy salmon maki, 3 California maki and 3 shrimp tempura maki. The rolls were freshly made and were tasty. The rice to filling ratio was good. Service was really nice and efficient. The place is really small. It only seats 18 people and there are 2 rectangular tables, so seating is communal. However, we were there on a Wednesday at 12:30pm and there were only 2 other customers there. This place is a bit hidden because it doesn't really have its own sign. It's sort of inside the Lapointes Restaurant. Sushi Fresh is on the ground level and Lapointes is downstairs. So glad we discovered this place :)

    I stopped here for a quick lunch! I ordered one of their sushi bento boxes and I was not disappointed. It was brought out quick and it was fresh. There isn't much you can say about sashimi except it's fresh or old! LOL ok ok, I lie, the quality of fish is also important. I had zero issues. I enjoyed my bento box and it was a great price. If I remember correctly, less than $15 after taxes. This was around lunch time.

    The seaweed salad was fairly standard

    This sushi joint in Byward Market is a fine stop for a fresh and casual meal. I came here for a light dinner, since I had had a very large lunch. The menu has a lot of options - mostly sushi, obviously, but also nice sides and appetizers and a few non-sushi entrees. I ended up ordering a seaweed salad and a spicy tuna roll. The seaweed salad was simple and pretty standard. The tuna roll was tasty and had a good amount of fish. The restaurant ambiance is simple and casual. There weren't a ton of tables, but there was enough space not to feel claustrophobic. The waitress was friendly, though not very attentive. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. I'd come back again for a cheap and easy sushi meal.

    I had the Special Roll Moriwase (32pcs) (which came with Spider Roll, Double Shrimp Roll, Caterpillar Roll, Kamikaze Roll) for $43. This was the perfect amount to feed two people. It came with two miso soups. It was confusing to find the restaurant at first because it shares space with a fish and chips spot (downstairs). They share the same entrance as LaPointe restaurant. I saw that there was outdoor dining outside but I think it may belong to LaPointe. The interior is casual. They have wooden tables with a black/industrial theme. They sell snacks like Pocky toward the front of the store. My favorite of the 4 rolls was the double shrimp roll (fresh shrimp on top and shrimp tempura in the middle). I liked that the ginger they gave was cut up really small but they gave very little of it. I thought the rolls were good but in a very simple way. The spider roll was my least favorite because it had an aftertaste I couldn't pinpoint. Their menu is large and offers non-sushi dishes like bento boxes and noodles. Their website says they sell Korean cuisine too but I don't recall seeing it on the menu (I probably missed it).

    In my books, this place was just OK. It should be noted that this was my first time having sushi in…read moreOttawa, and this place is supposed to be the best sushi place here. I've had sushi plenty in Vancouver and Toronto, and this place was disappointing in comparison (even to Toronto sushi). I think AYCE sushi is more popular in Ottawa. This is one of the few places that do a la carte. I found the prices to be a bit expensive for what you get. 3 of us shared a sushi and sashimi party tray. It came to around $30 a person, and was quoted on the menu to be for about 3-4 people. I would say it's barely enough for 3 very small people, let alone 4. It did not come with miso soup or salad. The quality of the sushi was nothing to be amazed about. Although it was probably a bit better than AYCE, I think for the prices, I'd expect better quality sushi. If I had to, I'd choose AYCE sushi over this in Ottawa. Also, in terms of authenticity, I think this place is Chinese owned. It is a small establishment, so if you want to be sure you get a table, I'd recommend reservations. There is street parking available on Somerset. I likely won't be back, and will definitely try my hardest to persuade my friends to go elsewhere if they want to come back.

    Food was good. The sushi may have slightly too much rice in each piece but it was fresh and tasty…read more The tempura dish is very light and portion size is good. Service was good and we booked a table before their big party reservations comes in about an hour later. Dining hall was clean and tidy without feeling crowded. I would go back again.
