55 Byward Market Square, Ottawa, ON K1N 9J7, Canada
Real street food, but homemade taste. Hard to explain. The food, the environment, the people, All amazing! We had the Salmon Poke Bowl, California Roll, and the Pork Dry Noodle. I shared with my wife and we left full! The couple is super nice and the food is very tasty!
I have been to many Noddle Shops But this place beats everything . The food was DELICIOUS !! The staff was very welcoming . Must try if u r Ottawa!!
The sushi was fresh and delicious! As a someone who gets sushi regularly, the prices were great. Very glad I stopped here as the staff was lovely and they use good quality ingredients. I will definitely come back.
Really good street food. Noodles are made fresh.
We've been here twice now for a quick snack, and it’s been amazing both times. The California roll, avocado roll, and shrimp tempura side were so tasty and made fresh to order! Even the pickled ginger was the best I've ever had! It was so good, we ate half the order before taking a photo. The staff are super sweet, and the place has such a cozy vibe. If you're looking for a delicious and welcoming spot to grab a bite, you should definitely check this place out!
Absolutely delicious! The seaweed salad is the best I’ve ever had. We ordered sushi, a noodle bowl and spring rolls as well. The noodles were freshly made in house! We got to watch one of the owners make them in front of our eyes, it’s almost like dinner and a show! We could tell that all of the ingredients were fresh and the owners were delightful. Will definitely be coming by here again next time I am in the market!!
Lunch: Sushi Zone & Ramen Stop, Ottawa We were visiting Ottawa's Byward Market and this place caught our eye as the guy behind the counter was pulling his own noodles (I wasn't quick enough to get a photo). I had the pork ramen noodle soup, made with the hand-pulled noodles. The chunks of pork were tender and beautifully flavoured, the broth rich and full flavoured and the noodles were excellent. A very good bowl of ramen!
Best ramen we've ever had. Convinced my husband to stop in Byward Market because the noodles were being made fresh. The food did not disappoint! Family who runs the restaurant were very friendly and willing to let me take pictures while they worked. We live in the US and would honestly drive to get these noodles again!
Amazing food and service! Must try when you re in Ottawa :)
The noodles are handmade by a chef in front of us. We tasted a bit of everything, the dumplings, the dry noodles and with soup, everything was incredible. I recommend!!!
Staff are super friendly. Theyre so kind and the place is very cozy. The gentleman makes the noodles on the spot and its so fascinating to watch him do it. And the food is amazing!
Affordable and delicious I m really impressed that I can eat tuna rice bowl at this price. And the side dishes are so fresh!
The food is quite tasty, the service is excellent and the attention is even better. It is a small place but it is worth eating there.
Very nice place to enjoy delicious food (noodles)made from scratch with happy staffs and smiling chef. Thank you
We ate very well. Thank you so much
Welcoming place!!
Zero for a salmon bawl poke 3 mini pieces of salmon
I can say with full positivity that this is the best ramen I ve ever had. I m a pretty picky eater but my boyfriend had the bento box and let me have a sushi, it was amazing. The owners are so sweet and caring and put so much effort into what they do, I have and always will look forward to coming here.
Amazing ! Extremely kind and pleasant cook, I highly recommend!
the lady who served me and my friend was extremely friendly and nice!! the ramen was delicious and was sold at a reasonable price! will be coming back soon!
We had crab roll sushi and it was really delicious. They make it fresh while you wait and for the price its probably one of the best sushi you can have
Had the pork noodle soup and it was very good! Fresh noodles that you can watch being made by the chef and were very good. The pork was very tender as well. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options available Wheelchair accessibility: Street level with no steps so fairly accessible. A bit tight for seating.
Mega delicious noodles, whether in soup or with sauce, the sushi is also super tasty. Highly recommended! The price is super cheap for homemade sushi and noodles. By the way, you can watch it. The service is also friendly and always smiling. Definitely worth a visit!
Homemade handmade noodles, delicious, coming from someone who doesnt particularly like oriental cuisine, so believe me when I say that they are a real specialty!
Very good fresh noodle soup
Great Bento box!
Outstanding fresh sushi or noodles made fresh right in front of your eyes. So good! Food
The noodles are made in front of us, very pleasant atmosphere, and the staff is very cheerful. Hearty meal for $15 per person.
The atmosphere doesnt necessarily make you want it, and yet!!!!! A treat, a delicious pokebowl made to order, we know how to enjoy it
Best chicken noodle soup I ever had!
One of the most delicious sushi Ive ever eaten and the service was great. It was quick and the noodles were made in front of our eyes.
Really good, freshly made in front of you!
Good welcome and delicious food
Loved their Ramen noodles i ordered chicken Ramen and asked him if he can customize my order and add some vegetables to it he agreed so smoothly i loved that. Served a Customer need overall really good worth trying.
Best ramen in Ottawa!!! Nice service!!!
The ramen is so sos good!!!!Im amazed of the flavor and and so nice seeing the chef doing all the fresh noodles.kuddos to the owner will definitely come back and bring more friends.

Very good, thank you.
The Best Ramen noodle soup!!!
Best handmade noodles! Must try!
Excellent hand made noodles. The broth was bold and flavourful, just overall a nice hot bowl of ramen on a cold day. There could have been a little more pork in the bowl but not enough to turn me away. Would eat again.
The ramen here is fabulous (the qty of meat could have been more, though). The family running the show here is hard-working and very kind. Make this place your pit stop if you are in the area.
Delicious food and very friendly service in a lively location in Byward. What s not to like?
Craving satisfied and the best decision to try this gem at the Byward Market. We had the pork ramen (broth was amazing, pork literally melts in your mouth soft and the ramen noodles were freshly made), california rolls and the dynamite sushi.
The ramen are really good, the broth is delicious and the craft noodles are perfect. The only bad point, the pork is not very good, you have mainly fat Food
Super kind staff and great food would 100% recommend:)
Delicious overall!
Had the chicken ramen and it was the best ramen I have had in all of Ottawa. It even beats the restaurants in China town that should say something. Very kind owner and the food came relatively in good time. There could have been more chicken added to the meal but that s just me and I m sure you could order some extras if need be. Overall pleasantly warm experience.
10/10 would definitely recommend, ramen noodles were handmade after each order, so very fresh!! wish i had taken a picture haha owner was sooo nice! would love to come back. tasted great too, only suggestion: few more ingredients like leek or sprouts, still great and good price though! Also the vegetarian option was awesome
Delicious food and lovely people
Loved this place went with my parents and have to say this is the best ramen that we have ever had
Run by such lovely people, the California and spicy salmon roll were great! I will definitely be back
Amazing Sunday Lunch With My Sons Damm Good Chef Amazing Kid-friendliness: Amazing Ownerz
I had Ramen noodles here twice and it tastes excellent. The owner here is extremely nice which made me come back for the second time. Highly recommend if you want to try freshly hand made noodles.
Absolutely amazing, my friend and I always go here at least once a week! Never lets me down with the amazing food! Also sooo inexpensive! Literally got an 8pack of freshly made sushi and a huge bowl of miso soup for $13! I say it s a steal!!!!
Hand crafted noodles, amazing broth. A simple yet elegant bowl. Friendly staff and a short wait. Best hole in the wall around.
Super friendly service and great food!
The pasta is homemade. The service is fast and the staff were kind and welcoming. Our Bentos were unfortunately cold and not very tasty. The pasta was good.
Friendly service, tasty fresh ramen noodle soup.
Yummy ramen and sushi. Good customer service and kind people.
Love the Maki sushi here! Fresh, great quality food & excellent service.
Amazing food, friendly customer service! Highly reccomend
One of the best ramen places in Ottawa! It s a husband and wife who are very friendly and accommodating. Great experience watching the chef hand pull the noodles.
One of the best ramen and sushi places in Ottawa. The ramen is freshly pulled and super delicious every time I visit. The sushi is amazing and fresh too, and owners are very nice.
Sushi was terrible and they took 25min to make it. Could have made it better in my own kitchen.
The best Ramen in all of Ottawa
The chicken ramen was lacking in any real flavor just salt. The noodles had a good texture. Also I asked what the toppings were and she said vegetables so I m like cool what kind? It s was lettuce. Just lettuce. Never in my life have I been served ramen with just lettuce. People saying this is the best ramen is wild
The food was incredible! The Ramen (and noodles) was made fresh and from scratch in front of us and it was so tasty. 10/10 and I ll definitely be coming back.
Best Ramen i have ever had! Small family run business. The chef made the noodles from scratch, and you could really taste the quality! Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible for wheelchair users
Small family restaurant, we had a beef ramen and California makis The makis were rolled in front of us and the ramen noodles were made directly by the chef. Everything was very good we will come back!
The pokebowl and the ramen were delicious. Price - quality is realy good!
Very great runnnn sooo good best place ever they re so kind my favourite place at all time
Cute family business. Really great, handmade food for a really good price. Really surprised.
In the heart of the Byward Market, these restaurateurs prepare very good bento boxes and poke at home. Everything is fresh, tasty and good
I got the pork ramen with a bit of spice and it was amazing. It was a very light ramen with handmade noodles!
Wonderful Japanese ramen, loved it. Reasonable price too! Recommend
Great atmosphere Amazing food Wonderful people Food : 5/5
Best Ramen ever, poke bowl was also great, you can taste the very fresh ingredients, very original.
$25 for 16 maki rolls (spicy salmon and crab) and an iced tea. Wish I could say good things about the food, but I, unfortunately, cannot. The service was amazing though.
The service is bot bad, but the food really sucks. Chinese food pretending to be Japanese food.
I loved this place, amazing food, great deals. Everything was cooked patiently and they were so kind.
The ambiance here is always inviting and comfortable. The food is delicious, Flavorful, mouth-watering. I love the freshness of the ramen noodles, that makes me come often if I crave for ramen.
WOW. Super delicious and fresh. The chef made our noodles in front of our own eyes. Great service too. Had the pork ramen 10/10. Will be back for more
The food is delicious... A good ramen soup with excellent homemade broth and fresh noodles that the master cook creates in front of your eyes!
Delicious!
Very delicious and tasty food. Ramen is fresh hand made right in front of you. Extremely good in cold weather. Recommend to visit, small family business.
The food here is amazing!!! Especially hand pulled noodles soup & shrimp sushi is a must try!! Anybody in Ottawa should definitely check out!! Will visit again!
The owner is so friendly. The ramen is so fresh because they made it before you eat. Comfort food in Ottawa.
Delicious Ramen! The ramen was made fresh in front of me, and very generous service and food portions. My friends and I highly recommend!
Been coming here for a while and the sushi has been awesome! The owner is really nice and its very impressive to see him make fresh ramen noodles. A great spot to drop by!
everyone who works here is so nice!!! the food is delicious, and its one of the only places you can find hand pulled noodles in ottawa! the ramen is made right when you order it, but it is so worth the wait!!
Great Udon noodles!
The customer service and hygiene are quite good. Likewise, the food is prepared at the moment and it s a unique experience to see how he prepare the recipe of origin of ramen, then the flavour is exquisite. Highly recommended.
Very great soup the meat is tender, noodle incredible and the owner are very friendly I recommand it for sure
Udon took a long time, but its nice to have something freshly-cooked (in the end, it wasnt that tasty, but not-bad).
PHENOMENAL SERVICE!
Great Japanese owned, authentic Japanese restaurant. Delicious sushi, tempura, gyoza, chicken teriyaki.
Had the udon with pork, and it was great. The noodles were made right in front of us. Service was courteous and professional.
This was first time experience for chicken ramen soup. Ramen prepared fresh and it was delicious with soup. Meat was juicy and their hot sauce kept at front desk is game changer. It give real spice kick. Owners are humble..
Very nice staff and delicious food. Would definitely come back!
Excellent food!! Ramen and sushi made in front of you freshness you cant beat. Well be back for sure
Amazing hand made ramen. Very friendly atmosphere! Would recommend to stop by
The Rahmen soup with homemade noodles was delicious
Ramen and sushi were fresh, home made and delicious!
Not real ramen. Zero effort put into broth. Clear, lacking richness, no collagen etc etc. Was looking for a rich mineral dense meal. Got carbs in flavored water with slices of pork that are not charsui. Pork is Vietnamese style, raw, put in boiling water (or close)
Extremely friendly owners that made incredible handmade ramen and sushi ,frankly the best I ve ever had and I ve been to Japan
Noodles made from scratch right in front me, the soup tastes really good as well as the chilli oil.
Just watching the chef make the noodles in front of me was therapeutic. The noodles were perfect. Dietary restrictions: The noodles are made without eggs. Kid-friendliness: My child wanted something different and they allowed us to bring in an outside dish.
Yummy fresh food! Noodles and sushi made right in front of you :)
Owners are so kind and the food was amazing, filling and inexpensive. Would definetly come back.
Great food.Best spring rolls i ve ever had. Definitely should try it!!!
The noodles were hand pulled to order and the broth was crisp and simple. Add in pork and some fresh greens and this was very satisfying. Ill be back.
Loved the chicken udon soup. Fresh noodles and flavorful broth.
Great food and worth the little bit of wait. Very friendly team of chefs there too. Quite tasty!
Super cute little spot. I had the pork ramen for lunch. The chef hand pulls the noodles right before cooking them! Just a great little Mom&Pop shop.
Food was amazing and very kind workers
The noodle was hand made and absolutely chewy ,smooth and tasty!
Good Soup
The worst Asian food experience in my life. 1 star only for restaurant owners smile and good mood. The food was tasteless, over-over-priced for the quantity and quality. We ordered bento and ramen, both as awful as I could ever imagine as an Asian In the bento, we had a small gyoza and a small spring roll, 4 tasteless sushi, a portion of rice with 6 little pieces of meat il looks so pitiful. Speaking of the ramen noodle was freshly made by the restaurant owner but the broth tasted like salty water. I left this serious review with no intention to destroy the restaurant. Just hope to share my own experience for tourists or locals who just want to have a good time, and for the restaurant owner to make some real improvements to survive the upcoming recession.
Clean and friendly place. I ordered a chicken ramen. Noodles were freshly made in front of me and they were delicious. The broth was great. Not too salty and flavourful, they even gave us homemade chilli oil. Overall great place, perfect for a snowy day
The restuarant was messy, the food came 30 minutes later. It had a gross smell and didnt taste good at all. The 5 star reveiws here are fake because none of then are relevent and after i ate the food i became sick because the food was most likley expired
The poke bowl was very good considering the price!
I used to come here from time to time prior to COVID, and it was a little sad to see how far they have declined in their business since then. I was told that they will likely close down at the end of the year, so be sure to support them as much as you can until then. Service was super fast while being the only customer
Had a couple of sushi rolls for lunch, they were delicious and fresh. Proprietor was super friendly. Wed definitely eat there again.
Cold, tasteless, dry, awful food!
It took about.20 min to get the order. Not very good.
Save yourself, dont come here. Bad service, bad food. Will make you wait 30m for a cold ramen...
I dont recommend this restaurant. We ordered ramen with tofu since they didnt have beef neither eggs, and it was flaworless and smelled weird. The tokoyoki was raw inside and burned outside. Only the lemonade we ordered was good.
Sour smelling fish, junk lying around entire restaurant, no welcome on entry. Ordered sashimi combo and spicy salmon which had the most pungent sour smell ever.
Ignores online orders.
Very nice place , friendly service.
Good- fresh food. Good selection. Enjoyed meal.
Good
The salmon rolls were made with warm rice. Staff person did not use gloves and picked her face while serving us.
The man who took our order was very friendly and the food was great, especially the super fruit tea. The location of the restaurant is also very nice 5/5 would definitely recommend
Food is only OK, comes in plastic bowl, ingredients from the freezer, the place is a mess with cartboard all over the place, tables not cleaned and its not even cheap...
Ordered the beef Japanese ramen, received it 20 minutes later and it had a distinct gross smell and didnt taste any better
My wife and I eat there almost weekly, salmon and tuna are always fresh and very tasty!! The miso soup is tasty and plentiful, green tea is actually real green tea! I m reading some other reviews and I m not getting it because I ve been going there for over 10 years!!
Some of the worse food Ive ever had. Fish was raw and everything was tasteless. The cook was making our food in the tap. The lady charged us 1$ for tap water which is illegal in Canada. Avoid!!
Come here pretty frequently. The guy who serves/makes my sushi is always on the ball. He ll make up special combos for me so I can have a bit of everything I like. Never had a bad experience-definitley one of the best on the go sushi places I ve been to.
didnt get what we ordered hehe but the Bento box was delicious and so were the other rolls we ordered. delicious and friendly!
Amazing everything!!! Go.
Absolutely terrible service. They wouldnt acknowledge any of the customers or take orders. They also had exposed shashimi in the heat.
Was in a rush and stopped in for a quick bite. Ordered a combo of sushi & maki. The salmon sushi looked so dodgy that I couldnt believe they actually put it on the platter. Against my better judgement, I tried a piece of shrimp sushi that looked considerably less dodgy. Bad idea. The rice seemed to have been made with regular white vinegar... it was inedible. I just binned the whole thing and left. I hope that they were just having a bad day, but I wont be back to find out.
Was out and about in the byward market... It was worse than grocery store bought sushi... Will not be back. Ever.
Friend had the seafood pad Thai. Didnt enjoy the cilantro in it but service was extremely helpful and friendly and food was good otherwise.
The teriyaki chicken tastes like duck, fried food is horrible, definitely will never eat here again
Affordable sushi with fairly big pieces of what I would consider average quality. A little too much rice for my taste.
been going here for years and have always had great food and great friendly service, they also have gluten free certified soy sauce if requested
