Disappointing $70 party tray was almost all maki rolls. Small amount of nigiri seemed to be cut in half to look like more portions. Honestly, this was like supermarket sushi. Chewy. Not refined. And the order arrived late. Done with this neighbourhood place.

I've been a regular customer for a few years. I like sushi a lot. I've eaten at many sushi restaurants in Ottawa.. and some elsewhere. Sushime has been consistently good. The quality of the ingredients is above most. Their prep is fresh, their portion size is decent, and everything has always been flavorful. But delicately so, nothing too greasy or wet. A family run operation, without the watering down that comes with a chain of restaurants. Highly recommend.. (black rice is excellent too)

Underrated spot for delicious sushi and Korean food. Really lovely staff and excellent presentation. Quick service and great for either lunch or dinner. The fish is super fresh and everything is prepared perfectly.

I heard the sushi is great here, but my wife does not like sushi, so weve tried the other meals. I guess it is our fault for not trying the sushi. The last time we ordered, the woman on the phone taking our order asked if we could bring a bag to pick up our order; I thought that was a little odd to say the least.

Really good sushi! The best weve had as takeout! People very nice!

December 23, 2022

Another place hit by covid. As others stated their quality has been affected. I also had to throw out some off salmon that was all skin. Stir fried beef pcs are smaller. Tempura shrimp & mixed veg has always been great. A worse issue when started again. Order was completely burnt I heat from it melted the plastic sauce containers causing the entire bag to be soaked in liquid. When returned with it they caused a scene , berated me & refused a refund. What sane business owner would cause such a confrontation with a loyal diner in front of other customers ? I only succeeded because I was walking out to dispute to Visa.

December 23, 2022

Food was okay but the service was terrible. I found them pretty rude and also charged me for things I didn t order and chalked it up to miscommunication. From the reviews, it seems this has happened to others too.

December 23, 2022

Terrible service. Went in to order takeout and waited 20 minutes and wasn t even greeted or told it would be a wait. Ended up leaving

Ordered pickup, paid 50$ for 8 tiny pieces of gyoza, 6 incorrect species of sushi in a significantly dissapointing bento box. Soecial orders not followed and even did exactly what not asked. Tiny portions. Most dissapointing +50$ dollars spent on a barely edible meal. Miso soup ice cold. Really unacceptable product for price.

Delicious and beautiful sushi. Seaweed salad was also really good. We ordered on a Friday night and it took about 90min, no problem with that but just to help with when you order!

Im a little sad to write this. Ive been eating at Sushime since moving to Beechwood 8 years ago. Ive always loved it. In the pandemic however, Ive been going less. Mostly because the last time I had gone before today, I had fallen ill on what I assumed to be their sushi. Today I decided to try again for lunch and had a spicy salmon roll. I could only eat half as the fish was falling apart and just felt wrong, I was sick shortly after, spending a few hours on the toilet and now 6 hours removed from the event, Im still nauseous. There need to be more quality control at Sushime before someone gets seriously ill. Im still scoring 3/5 for all the years that Ive enjoyed their food without problems but today I supported them for the last time.

If I could rate them 0 stars I would. I was introduced to this place by a friend a couple of days ago and fell in love with their food. So days after I had called to order but no one answered. I proceeded to call days after that but they still didn t answer. On Friday, I decided to stop by to order and I had called them at 8:00pm knowing their store closed at 9:00pm but no one answered, so I took the bus in the cold weather and went to their store to place an order only for them to be closed 30 minutes in advanced. Instead of being apologetic, the women simply shook their head no to indicate that the store was closed. No apology, no nothing and this is not right for someone to displace themselves just to be turned out without any comment. I signalled at her to come so I could explain to her that that s not right. They kept shaking their head no and I had to stand there in the cold until she finally came over. I had a very rude encounter as she didn t apologize, I explained to her that Ive been calling the phone for the past days and she kept saying well there s nothing I can do about that , I don t know why it wasn t working , I don t know why we re still having this conversation . Even after all that, I asked her if there was another number I could call for next time, she simply replied with no . Being a student, I get comprehend that Covid has had a real toll on small business I simply wanted to support them and she made it practically impossible and was extremely disrespectful towards me. From there, I went to Chilaquiles, another small business place nearby and the instant warm and friendly treatment is something I completely appreciated. I do not recommend this place and would advice people to go nearby to Chilaquiles, they have some amazing Mexican food with lovely service!

The sushi is great value. Good ratio of rice to filling. Solid staff, good prices, nice people and quick service. We went for early lunch. We ordered, ate and paid in 35 minutes. I really like this spot and would argue its one of the better sushi places in town.

Tried their takeout, so I cant comment on service or ambience. The restaurant unfortunately missed the mark on what sushi is supposed to be, which is a Japanese dish of prepared vinegared rice accompanying a variety of ingredients... There was no rice vinegar in any of the rice in my nigiri and maki. Really disappointing because getting the rice right is the essence. Im not sure who is giving 5 star reviews but they need try authentic Japanese food. I do have to give the sushi chef credit in that the proportion of rice to ingredient (fish) is spot on and the technique for rolling maki and preparing nigiri is pretty good; thickness of rice is consistent and cuts are clean. At the end of the day though, if you cant get the rice right then its a fail.

Dine there last night. VERY terrible experience. Not customer oriented at all. More preoccupied about take out orders than in-house customers. Lousy service and the imposing manager does not care at all. I Was short of sashimi in my boat order. Waitress came back and said Miscalculation but no apologies. Left no tip and told the manager on my wait out that I would never come back. Her reaction was OK... I wish they would close shop instead of treating people like this. Sorry that I can not give zero 0 star...

Decided to visit Sushi Me by recommendation of a friend and SO GLAD I DID. On my way back to the states and so sad that this is so far away because the sushi is so tasty. And... the VOLCANO ROLL is literally the best sushi I ve ever tasted. And I ve eaten a lot of sushi. From the cozy atmosphere with a splash of refreshing green to the friendly owner, this place is a gem. 100% would recommend. Come here. And order the volcano roll.

Food is quite good, especially the Sushi. The teriyaki meat dishes are overpowered by the thick pasty gooey teriyaki sauce. Service is often hit and miss - even on very quiet days and times. Always busy doing other things rather than checking on guests and order accuracy. The overall food quality is good

Middle-of-the-road sushi joint. Was a tad disappointed because its the closest sushi spot in my neighbourhood (great location) but just sad like the rest of sushi available in Ottawa. Too much rice in their maki and the rolls were unpleasantly warm. The price isnt worth what is offered.

The environment is very clean. Green tea Cheese cake is so delicious. Excellent restaurant!

December 23, 2016

Sashimi was decent. Okonomiyaki was terrible. Most problematic, the sushi menu is misleading. Cooked, fried rolls are included in the sushi section without any indication. We mistakenly ordered two different rolls that were both cooked (for pick-up) never dreaming they would be anything other than raw fish, as one would expect. When we got home, I was disappointed to find both had been battered and fried. I called back to highlight my concerns and suggested the menu should be changed to represent the rolls accurately (who wants their hamachi cooked?) but was told they would not be doing that. If you are the type of person who says you like sushi, but dont eat raw fish this is the place for you. Otherwise, buyer be ware.

Great place for a nice plate of sushi or Bimimbap (Korean hot bowl dish). Service can be spotty but usually when there is a full house. Takeout is pretty effective.

TERRIBLE. Gave us the wrong sushi order and tried to charge us for it. Then, we sat there for twenty minutes waiting for our food and only found out the server had screwed up and hadnt put in the main part of our meal when I asked her flat out whether our order had even been given to the kitchen. AVOID. Its sad too as the food isnt bad, but the service is just god awful. There are so many other places to get good sushi in this city. Wont be back.

The sushi itself is not bad at all. The prices are fair. The service however sometimes can be lacking. Takes a while to get your order and often take out takes a very long time from when the order is placed (45 min).
