Sushi Eki in Kanata

Solid sushi place, but the tuna was awful. It had an extremely fishy taste and was not solid pices but was almost chopped. The rice had good flavor to it and the service was very good. I loved how the tea and water was selfie serve as we could drink at out own pace without trying to find someone. It was definetly, and probably a one time thing, that the tuna was horriblely fishy. I would definetly recomend this place as a good takeout sushi place.

Time after time after time, Eki has proved to be a top-notch, stellar establishment. I first tried Eki on a whim, and lve never been more happy about a decision in my life. The food is excellent. Significantly better than any other sushi restaurant Ive been to in Ottawa. The same amount of money will give you all the sushi you can eat-but you get vastly better quality than elsewhere. The staff are incredibly kind, and it s always a pleasure to see them.

Delicious sushi and sashimi. Fresh and high quality food, also very reasonably priced!

I arrived on time to pick up my my order and the order not ready but we are making your food now . Not a problem I can wait , so I wait until the the order of 60 pice of sushi are done which about 12 minutes of wating its all good at this point . And suddenly I customer walked in and he handed my order to her..and looked at me and said oh he is making your order now. I canceled the order and left the place .

As a chef, I know how challenging a food business can be! Today, I placed an online order for pickup, and when I arrived at the scheduled time, the kind lady at front informed me that my order would be delayed because they had so many orders for the same time. While waiting, I stopped by the prep line and found myself admiring the sushi-making process. It was mesmerizing! Even on such a busy day, they managed to keep smiles on their faces and showed kindness not only to each other but also to every customer. And, of course, the sushi was as amazing as always!

This has become my family s favourite spot to get sushi takeout! Not only is the price to quality ratio decent compared to other options nearby, but the service is very quick with relatively few hiccups. Lots of different options for maki roll and other types of sushi. The hostess is also very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, so she was able to point out the gluten friendly options for my partner. The seating area is small and simple, and there is complementary green tea that you can serve yourself with. I ve gotten complementary/bonus maki rolls with my take-out orders before, which is a huge bonus! They also dress up the orders with lots of garnishes like pieces of mango and arugula which is nice. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a local spot for sushi. Dietary restrictions: Ask the server for gluten friendly options (they are limited and there is a risk of cross-contamination). Vegetarian options are available.

Good food service, small and busy.

An absurd amount of options, but the ones I ordered were amazing! Definitely coming back next time!

FANTASTIC SUSHI this is a small place but it s full of heart and flavour! I ve nos been there twice in less than a week and both times I ve left impressed! The quality ingredients they used are second to none! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options

Absolutely AMAZING food and selection. So fresh and scrumptious. The service, atmosphere and cleanliness is phenomenal too.

We really enjoyed our first time at Sushi Eki. The staff were really busy but still had time for a friendly greeting and a smile. Dont expect a fine dining atmosphere but seating was comfortable and service was great. Complimentary green tea was nice. I had a Katsu chicken poke bowl and vegetable spring roll. It was fresh and delicious. My husband had a teriyaki salmon bento box that came with spring rolls and California roll. He said it was really good. We will be back.

This is some of the freshest sushi I have had...delicious

Delicious food! Would go again.

Tried it out today based on Google reviews. I can now see why the reviews are so good. Food was fresh, service perfect and overall great value. The place has a great family feel to it. Will definitely be going back.

We got this for delivery and it was some of the best sushi Ive had in a long time; for sure the best in Kanata! This will for sure be my go-to spot from now on. Customer service is top-notch as well.

Torched sushi bento box was awesome. My favorite sushi spot.

Like the food - really good makis. Always order here. Food

So good. Ordered a ton of food including toro sashimi and it still worked out to bring cheaper than going for all you can eat even though the quality of everything was much better.

We have done both dine-in and takeout, and really enjoyed it! Their rolls and sashimi are super fresh + tasty and their customer service is so friendly. Will be a repeat customer for sure - highly recommend!! Update Nov 2024: Still the best à la carte sushi in town!!

I ordered take out on a Saturday night. The wait was 1 hour. It took 10 minutes longer but the food is worth the wait!

This sushi shop is a nice slice of heaven at Hazeldean Rd. in Kanata. Small, cozy and clean. Best of all, they serve Takoyaki... my favourite. There are lots of choices in their menu, per piece, poke, sushi, sashimi, bento and the like, There are 2 washrooms, one for common use and the other one for wheelchair accessible . Nice, friendly service

Delicious sushi! Definitely the best in the area Ive had :)

Always serving us with a smile. Shushi are fresh and tasty Sometimes they give extra sushi

my new spot without a doubt! everything was delicious and for the quality, it is so worth the price!! i will be craving the snow crab wontons everyday until i can have them again.

Food is really good,staff are great and friendly

It can get quite busy since its a small restaurant with limited seating, but the food is great and the staff are kind.

Good, not great. Tried the 30pc Maki combo. Friendly service and decent sushi that s just slightly better than AYCE quality IMO.

Best sushi in the city and I keep going back

I never thought you could get Sushi this good in Kanata! I love to go with my family, the food is delicious, the service is fantastic and the restaurant is cozy and clean. You get free green tea and water as well which is a nice touch. If you re like me and prefer delicious sushi made with attention to detail, then make sure to visit Sushi Eki and try the torched sushi!

Very pleasant dine-in experience and ambience. Really polite service from the lady behind the counter and easy ordering.. WArm green tea and water available at the counter. We had Chicken poke bowl and salmon bento box. Both tasted very good, fresh, great portion size and affordable. Will go back for sure.

Waited too long... Salmon wasnt fresh.

The roll that I had was quite good but skip the sashimi. The salmon sashimi was tasteless. The toro sashimi was full of tough strands of connective tissue. Both orders of sashimi were oh so clearly frozen and thawed, probably more than once. Atmosphere in this simple strip mall restaurant was, well, strip mall. Ambiance zero. And no saki on the menu. But free green tea in a paper cup. Self serve. Service is order at the counter.

The best sushi in ottawa. The chef is great, the sushi is excellent!! I love all the sushi at their place!!

We love this place and their delicious sushi

This is the best sushi I ve had in Ottawa! The food is consistently fresh, and the service very friendly. Complimentary rolls a bonus! Highly recommend. Food

Good sushi and tempura

My go to sushi spot. I love it alot. Have tried soo many different sushi spots but nothing beats sushi eki. will always remain my one n only sushi place.

Always great food. Minimalist atmosphere. Relaxing and the perfect place for a good lunch or dinner.

The food was good and the service was warm and friendly. Great spot if youre tight for time and craving sushi.

I used to pick up Uber orders for Sushi Eki and the customer service was always outstanding, so I thought I d give it a try. It was INCREDIBLE! The food is so fresh and delicious. I was happy to see so many vegetarian options as well.

This is by far the best Sushi place in Kanata.

Great sushi, nice place green tea is amazing

Food was okay, nothing out of the ordinary to be honest not sure why the reviews are so high. I went there for dine in and spent over an hour to get our food. On top of the long wait they forgot a portion of our order which they did correct later on the bill. Overall I wouldn t come back and don t think the food is worth the excessive wait times. Even takeout order customers were waiting over 30 minutes for orders they already called to place prior.

Amazing sushi!

Great sushi and nice staff but when you order the wait times are outrageous. They will give you a time for pick up and you will have to wait an extra 10-30+ min past the time they gave. This has been the pattern my last 4 visits and after today I will not be returning. This business isn t considerate to others personal time - this is beyond ridiculous and I am severely disappointed.

The sushi is so good. Great green tea and great service

It s one of my favorite sushi. We order there a lot to the point that they know my husband name. It can get busy but the food is worth the wait. They sometimes throw in a free roll

Incredible sushi!! Great value and the menu is super extensive. Some of the best sushi in Ottawa.

Wonderful place that I d recommend to anyone! Everything was excellent! Thank you!

Ok la!!!

Excellent! Fresh food and great service!

Great service, excellent food, super nice staff. Great place for sushi in kanata!!

Love this place!The food quality is excellent.

Im here regularly, and have never had a bad experience... This is among the best sushi in Ottawa. The owners and staff are very friendly, welcoming, and generous. The food is top notch and very reasonably priced. Dont be in a hurry! Because theyre so good, they do tend to get very busy. Its a small place, so it slows down when theyre slammed with orders. Sit back and enjoy watching them prepare the delicious and artistic looking food!

goated

Amazing food but had to wait over an hour to get our food during rush time.

Found this little restaurant with the best sushi ever had!! Great prices and good portions too!! Good service, would highly recommend!! Will be visiting again absolutely!! No alcohol licence, only thing but that ok!! Thank you for best sushi. Sushi Eki!!

Friendly service, and the best sushi! Fresh and great portions.

Myself and co workers order from here often. Always great service, and amazing sushi. Freshness and quality.

Always a great experience. The best sushi in west Ottawa

Sushi Eki is the best sushi I had in Ottawa - fish is always fresh amazing quality for price value - always great service a must have in Kanata

A little long for service but the wait was rewarded! Excellent and inexpensive!

Delicious sushi and appetizers. Fast and friendly service. Beautiful presentation. Great prices. We will be back often!!

The food here was fresh and amazing. This place has the best sushi in Ottawa by a LANDSLIDE. Ive tried other places that are popular or expensive, and I will always notice the astonishingly long wait times and just the lack of freshness in the fish so I usually am not huge on going anywhere. HOWEVER, last night my mother finally remembered the name of this place, as she had gone here with my father on a date several years ago and has not stopped talking about it. So we went, and my goodness I was so happy with the rolls and the food and the atmosphere. 10/10 would come back. Its clean and they have BIG rolls!!!! 100% try it.

Only stopped in quick for a bite -- the Kyoto Roll was fantastic, the Philadelphia Roll was pretty good. I like the small business feel, and that its still bright, clean, and easily accessible. Still a strip mall location as opposed to a full sized restaurant, but it seems to have enough seating. I think this is the right choice for sushi near Stittsville! Wheelchair accessibility: Doors, restroom, and seating all are accessible

Great place. Everything is freshly made, and the prices are fair and reasonable.

We got mango avocado and crispy veg rolls...they were delicious. The service was good and quick. The rolls were gone within few minutes of opening. Next time we are din8ng in.

Sushi Eki is a great place to get really good, and reasonably priced sushi and some North American influenced Chinese/ Japanese dishes. Service is very friendly, helpful and professional. Everything we tried is fresh and tastes great. The location is small, though, and they get pretty busy, so if youre planning to go, its worth making a reservation.

Love the sushi

Amazing fresh sushi, definitely recommend and love the variety

Such delicious and fresh sushi! The rice layer is thin and rolls are nicely filled

High quality sushi, clean, and friendly. Nice table wares. 3x 4-seater tables and 2-3 2-person tables.

Great place for sushi in Kanata. Highly recommended.

Best sushi in Kanata! It is a clean restaurant with friendly staff and is priced well for this day and age. It was our first stop after my wife gave birth to our child because she loves sushi.

This restaurant is so clean, bright, staff are so friendly and helpful, and the food is AMAZING. The first sushi Ive had in a long time that actually reminded me of the sushi in Japan. I drive 30 min to get here as its the only sushi Ive found in Ottawa thats worth it.

I really love this place, especially because they re the only spot I know that has mango rolls. The ingredients are high quality- you can really taste the difference. I ll ALWAYS come back to this place.

Outstanding freshness and taste. All with great service!

Tuna poke bowl is 5 stars! Delicious, decent portion, affordable price.

Very friendly staff and the sushi is fresh and delicious. It was worth the 40 minutes waiting to get a table

Very cozy place for dining in, only about three large tables abs another maybe two or three small tables.Many people were coming in to pick up take outs. We ordered sushi B combo, sashimi comboB, shrimp tempura, unagi sushi, spider roll, deep fried calamari. Sashimi comes with rice but we opted for the miso soup. All tasted good and fresh. Sashimi they gave were all good and big pieces. The only improvement I think would be good is the size of the eel for the unagi, although it tastes great as well. This place is nothing fancy, but food and price were great. Will definitely return.

Amazing and fresh food and friendly staff. I love this place.

New to the neighborhood, decided to try this place on a whim. Noticed on the receipt one of my rolls was baked instead of deep fried. Was ready to let it go and walk out as they were closing but they REFUSED, proceeded to serve me green tea while they made me the rolls I ordered on the house, apologized profusely and sent me home feeling like royalty 10/10, will be definitely back!!!

Hidden gem for quality sushi

The Delivery I Received was wildly subpar from Uber Eats, for 55$ I got 36 peices of subpar 50/50 veggie rolls and basic salmon and tuna roll. Seemed expensive and hardly worth the price tag, I would assume eating in is far better. I would not order takeout from here.

The best sushi in Kanata. We did move from Toronto where you can find a lot of good sushi. After trying few in Ottawa we found that Eki sushi are the best. Thanks

The staff was very fast and friendly which was great. Unfortunately I didn t like my meal items (in the pictures) but I did like the miso soup and the free mango bar for dessert. The Chicken Karaage wasn t anything like the ones I ve had from other places. It wasn t as thick and juicy and the sauce that came with it also didn t taste the same as the others. The Teriyaki Salmon on Rice was ok but for some reason the sauce made me feel kinda nauseous, so I had to drench the whole thing in soya sauce to consume it. The price made sense for the portions and the restaurant is set up very nicely. If I come back, I ll order something else.

Amazing place for Sushi! Everyones very friendly and the food is 10/10. I order from them a lot, so would definitely recommend.

Super good quality sushi. Their Poke bowl is gold! Pretty good price for what you buy. They also have a large variety of rolls. Top recommendations would be the baked rolls. Their signature rolls are also worth trying. Staff is super friendly and the vibe is awesome. Very comforting after a long day of work. Adding a photo after a year of frequent visits. Still loving the Poké bowl and the baked rolls. Also after trying multiple Poké bowls from several different Sushi places in Kanata, here is the only place you get green-leaf vegetables (and Mango I think). Cheap, healthy and delicious, what more can you ask for.

Sushi Eki is a serene haven for sushi lovers in Ottawa. The ambiance is enchanting, the complimentary water and hot tea are a nice touch, and the sushi and poke bowl are deliciously fresh. Friendly service adds to the charm. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience! Take-out is also available and always on time.

Really, really good sushi. The price for a meal (miso + 18 pieces) is phenomenal ($17). Small, personal eatery. Free tea with order. Friendly staff.

Incredible sushi. Was exactly as described, ingredients were so fresh and delicious, and they use legitimate crab unlike other sushi restaurants that use mock crab. The amount was also very good for the price. The tuna was a great texture/taste.

we were a big group and a small place and all went really well

This place is a hidden gem! The food is incredible and very reasonably priced. The service is welcoming, friendly, and fast. Don t think twice- give it a try!

Our favourite sushi place in Kanata. Very busy both done in and takeout.

The rolls did not have a beautiful shape, sometimes they fell apart, but they were tasty. The waiting time for an order is extremely long. The restaurant is quite clean. The food is tasty but the structure of the rolls is very weak and the shape is not professional. People who are waiting for an order hover over those who are already eating at the table, it s very uncomfortable. I can recommend this restaurant for takeaway.

Amazing sushi and the friendliest people! Always a great experience

Sushi Eki delivers generously sized sushi pieces crafted with incredibly fresh ingredients. The quality of the fish shines through in every bite, making for a truly satisfying dining experience. What sets Sushi Eki apart is not just their excellent food, but also their commendable service. As a passionate family-owned business, they go above and beyond to ensure that every customer feels valued and well taken care of. Its refreshing to see such dedication in the restaurant industry. Overall, Sushi Eki earns top marks for their delicious offerings, attentive service, and genuine commitment to excellence.

Fresh sushi, reasonable prices, amazing service and a clean place!

Sushi is good and simple. Menu includes all the staples. Very reasonable prices. Service can be slow due to high number takeout orders.

I ordered online for pick up. When I arrived it wasnt ready yet but they were very busy and everything was being made FRESH to order. Amazing food and quick service! It was the best sushi that Ive had in a long time, I look forward to eating there again! Dietary restrictions: If you have food allergies, you can let them know before ordering as well as with the online order options.

Amazing sushi! It was busy, so the service was slow, but friendly. There is limited seating and no atmosphere at all, but if you can get a seat the food is worth it.

Authentic japanese sushi. Fresh fish. Love the tuna and spicy tuna rolls. Having lived in BC and visited Japan, this is as close as it gets.

Best sushi in Kanata in my opinion. Always consistently great!

Look no more ! We went in for a spontaneous lunch and decided to try this one out. We were literally positively shocked by the quantity !! The portion was huge and extremely diversified ! Highly recommended

Small restaurant with great service. The prices are very reasonable and the is sushi top quality. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Sushi Eki is the BEST and my absolute FAVOURITE sushi spot! The sushi is always fresh and expertly made, and the staff takes great care of you. It s my go-to spot that I am a regular :)

Great sushi and customer service. Very busy though, prep time can be pretty long

What an amazing lunch Will come again tomorrow Food

Tried many places in Ottawa, and Sushi Eki is by far my favourite place. Everything we got was delicious, fresh, flavourful, and tasty.

Picked up some take out from Sushi Eki because it rated very well and the prices looked good. They didn t disappoint! Very good portions for value on the platter. Also, some of the most generous pieces of fish I have seen on/in sushi. Definitely recommend trying this very clean restaurant. Give yourself time if ordering on a busy night. It was an hour wait for our pickup but well worth it.

Very tasty. No words! Very professional.

The best sushi place in Ottawa

They were late with an order we were picking up, and the staff seemed really overwhelmed, and really disorganized

Good selection, prices ok. Had much fresher and tastier sushi on west coast. By Ottawa standards, this place is not bad.

So far Sushi Eki has been my favourite quick eats sushi place in Ottawa! I usually get the salmon poké bowl and they do not skimp on the fish and toppings. I always found the fish to be quite fresh! Delicious takoyaki too! Its a smaller space to eat in (not too many tables), and works better as a takeout place, but if you do eat in, they have a nice little self-service tea and water station. Would highly recommend!

Amazing Sushi, unbelievable variety coming out from.such a small place. All look and tasts amazing. Food

Had no idea this place existed until we searched sushi. We normally frequent another local AYCE sushi place. The place isnt a high touch service, a hybrid of self service (water and tea) and service taking order and dropping the plates. We tried tempura, salmon lovers plate and torched salmon Bento box. They all hit the spot! Couldnt point out a flaw. Tempura and spring rolls were fried to perfection. Salmon sushi were all consistent in cut, rice was good not pasty or mushy. Torched sushi was my fav with the extra flavours. Price was reasonable. Will return and I recommend.

Amazing takeout Sushi!

The freshest and most delicious sushi every time. The owners are so sweet.

Not a place to sit and eat, more suited for take out. That said, best sushi in Ottawa hands down. Man, it s so good. Just try it.

The quality of sushi is exceptional, amazing staff. We will be back for sure!

Sushi is probably the best in Kanata. Its very busy but worth the wait.

Another amazing order from sushi eki. For anybody looking for a sush in Kanata or Stittsville. This place hands down is the best. Im a sushi snob. Man, this place is on point like a decimal. I wish I could add my photos. Five star all the way. Thanks, sushi eki Ill be back several more times. Sooooooo yummmmmmy

Best sushi!! Thank you so much we will be back

Super delicious! Thank you!!!

It is my absolute favorite Japanese restaurant in Kanata. The food is always delicious, it has a good price. Family atmosphere and the owners are sweethearts. It does get a bit busy sometimes and it can take awhile.

Great service. Very friendly.

Tried takeout and love the freshness of the sushi and the different combos available at a great price! Was craving sushi but didn t want to only get just a roll or a huge platter, and happened upon sushi Eki who had smaller combo platters (which include miso soup) great for an individual dinner! Things were made fresh to order, fast and friendly service, and the interior was small but organized and clean! . Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available for making rolls and appetizers! Parking: Lots of spots to park in the parking lot available for the plaza Wheelchair accessibility: There are spots along curb that allow for wheelchairs to go up on and no steps required to go into the restaurant (unsure about washroom since only went for takeout)

Excellent value

Excellent sushi and the prices are fantastic. This is one of my favorite places to go for lunch.

Best place in Kanata to have a sushi. The staff is so friendly we felt home there

Sadly, they dont pay that much attention to food quality now. It is disgusting to find a leaf like this from my sushi

Best sushi place in town hands down!

Its easily the best sushi in the west end. Prices are reasonable as well. If you eat in, just be prepared to serve yourself.

This place is such a gem, the food quality is fantastic. Great value, fresh fish and the owner is so kind. This is def a hidden gem and you should order the torched sushi, it s so delicious!

Delicious sushi and wonderful owners! We did take out and they gave us a complimentary sushi roll which was amazing. The food is very delicious and at a great price for the quality. This is one of our go to sushi spots in Ottawa. Our dinner came out to be around 55 ish and even then there was so much food we were completely stuffed.

Just perfect! Everything is as good it can be.

Food is always fresh. Staff is very kind. Prices are fair. I really love this place!

Good food, clean operation,

Excellent service and delicious high quality food.

Updated 2024-02-10 Downgraded a star because last two times Ive went to pickup on the time I requested, Ive had to wait more than 30 minutes additional for them to get my order ready. Seems they get slammed with both takeout AND dine-in during the popular nights/hours and they hit a bottleneck. They need a better queuing system to spread out their orders. ******************* Their fried stuff is pretty good. Happy to have such a quality sushi takeout place close by.

Our go to Sushi place! Staff here are super friendly and the sushi is always delicious. The rolls are generously sized. I got a bento before and asked for no seaweed salad. They substituted without prompting and got me to try a new type of salad; they made sure I was happy with it.

If you like authentic, fresh sushi then this is a great spot to eat. Dont buy awful grocery store sushi thats dry and far from fresh.

i love sushi Kid-friendliness: its good for kids because theres ice cream when you are finished Food : 5/5 |

Calm atmosphere, fantastic food, reasonable pricing and such a warm welcome from what I guess was the owners. Highly recommend!

Excellent! The sushi is fresh and delicious. The best in Ottawa! They have excellent salads and the dressing is to die for. Service is awesome!!! Cant recommend enough!

The fish and ingredients are incredibly fresh and tasty! The quality of the sushi is better than most fancy sushi restaurants in Montreal. The service is super friendly, the price makes this restaurant even perfect! Will be back for sure! The sushi is better than most fancy sushi restaurants in Montreal. The sushi restaurants are all good, the ingredients are very fresh, the service is enthusiastic, and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended! Dont miss it!

Absolutely pleasant owner

This is my go to sushi place now!

Was very excited to try this place out based on the reviews and wow it did not disappoint! It s a smaller restaurant with a few larger tables and also small tables for groups of 2. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has an open style kitchen, so you can actually see what s going on behind the scenes depending on where you re sitting. They have self serve water and green tea on the counter by the kitchen. The menu is extensive and there are many things to choose from, from a variety of sushi options to donburi, bento boxes, tempura, and more. We ordered the Canadian roll, rainbow roll, torched salmon sushi, crispy tuna hand roll and salmon hand roll. All were delicious and very fresh tasting. The Canadian roll was a standout for sure, when we tried it we exchanged that oh my god wow this is good look (if you know you know lol) and knew we were in for a treat. The torched sushi is also a must! If you re in the Kanata area, Sushi Eki is a great choice.

We really enjoyed our food! Nice to have a good sushi restaurant in the area!

Always fresh and delicious sushi

The BEST sushi in Ottawa. Different and creative rolls, everything is fresh and so tasty. The homemade miso soup is excellent, salad dressing made with ginger is amazing and it should be bottled and sold!! Everything is excellent- service included, teh staff is very friendly. Dont hesitate to order from this place, its outstanding!!

This is now our favourite sushi place in Kanata. They have very big selection and everything we tried so far was excellent: fresh, generous and attractively presented. We tried different items and were never disappointed, but we always end the meal with freshly fried sesame balls: warm, crispy outside, chewy inside, filled with red bean paste and gluten-free - treat for the celliacs in our family.

The best sushi in Ottawa, hands down!

Yummy

Excellent job!!! Keep the same level, please Food

Literally the best sushi in Ottawa/ prove me wrong.

This is the best Japanese food I have ever tasted in Canada. It s price is reasonable, the customer service was excellent. It s for sure one of the best places to eat in Ottawa.

Wonderful food! Rice was the perfect consistency. Fish texture was firm and tasted very fresh and pleasant! Will definitely be back!

Very tasty sushi at a reasonable price.

The food was great and of high quality, and the service was incredibly polite.

My favorite sushi spot ever!!! Delicious food and friendly service

Everything was great. The food was so delicious Food

Good sushi. Was a little surprised to see that none of my food came with ginger, wasabi or soy sauce packets. This is the only sushi place I ve ever seen send takeout without these things.
