Sushi is not of great quality and very stingy with the crab. Also, the chicken dishes I ordered were overcooked and the mayo sauce used is not very good imo. The table also smelled bad. Not to mention the price, this place has no business charging that much for this level of

Fine dining prices for mid level sushi. Service is good but 30+ min wait for food is off putting.

If you want to visit The “Genji” Japanese Restaurant, then think twice or go to another restaurant. Today for my birthday we were served stale tuna rolls with flavor. Not only is it dangerous to health, but it also ruins the holiday and mood. The “specialist” admitted his mistake, so be careful when choosing restaurants and the rating does not always correspond to the quality of the product.

we ordered 3 different sushi and edamame. the food was really good, and even the designed the dish which felt really good. salmon was fresh and we loved it.atmosphere was great. music was light and felt nice.The server was the best. She treated us like we were home. She filled our glasses several times during our time there. She really really was the best.we are definitely going there again.

Unbelievably bad. If it were possible to score lower than 1 star, I would. Hideously overpriced, miserly small portions and bland, bland, bland. The fish used in the meal was possibly the worst I have ever tasted: no difference between any of the varieties and the thinnest slices imaginable. How this establishment got a 4.3/5 rating is beyond me. Maybe my expectations are higher than the rest of the population of Ottawa but I would not recommend this place to anyone. Ever.

We’ve been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Very delicious rolls, and the chicken karaage is the best karaage we’ve had in the city.

First restaurant I went to in Ottawa when I moved 10 years ago. Went back recently and it was still the same, very good. Great option for lunch around Elgin.

Spent just over an hour there, food was quick to start. Everything was insanely delicious. Gyoza, tempura veggie, and I had the steak stampede rolls. Green tea creme brule for dessert! Just under 80 for 2 people, but we were both stuffed!Parking: Hard to find a spot, signs were inconclusive about weekend parking.

I have been wanting to go to this restaurant for a while but it turned out to be the worst Sushi I had ever. Service was so bad. we were dining there for around 1:30 hours and the restaurant was not busy. we were surrounded by dirty tables the whole time. We ordered the maki combo and seafood udon. As you see in the picture udon only came with 2 pieces of clam and tiny shrimp. Salmon felt mushy and really uncomfortable in my mouth. Tuna was obviously not fresh and the noodles were overcooked . Way too overpriced for the quality and quantity. Not once did the server come re fill out water or even ask how we’re doing. Definitely would not go again

Not bad. Salmon was mushy which was unfortunate. Didn’t finish my rolls because of it. Bento box was good
