What User doesn't like about Genji Japanese Restaurant:
The food was so, but not worth the price. Can say it is not authentic Japanese food, especially the Ika Yaki, which we taste differently from those we had in Enoshima. Gyoza taste different from other Japanese restaurants. It looked so strange with a couple of pieces. View all feedback. What User likes about Genji Japanese Restaurant:
Served by a very discreet waitress, the food is totaly excellent. You deserve to eat there, any of you, of course, that is if you like Japanese food. I just loved it and can't wait to return. View all feedback.

This downtown Ottawa sushi spot offers a variety of options from traditional to unique choices. However, some reviews suggest that the quality of the food does not match its prices. While some enjoy the experience and service, others find the food overpriced and subpar. Portion sizes are mentioned as small for the price, and the quality of ingredients is questioned. It seems that some patrons feel let down by the food quality in relation to the cost, while others appreciate the service and menu variety. Overall, opinions are divided on whether this restaurant is worth a visit.

It gives the feel of small Japanese restaurant you would come across in the rural part of Japan. The food is delicious and the service was also awesome. I recom...

As mentioned in another review, the sashimi is really top notch. It's not cheap, but it's certainly worth it! Really an experience that the Sashimi enjoys here....
