I'm a pretty big fan of sushi in general and have a few favorite spots in Ottawa (I know...A few? In Ottawa? Who knew?)

Kiko is the new top of the list! The Sashimi and Makis are the best by far we (my wife and myself) have found in Ottawa. Super Fresh and so tasty! The starters menu is huge and we have tried so much and never been disappointed. Try the garlic butter clams/spring rolls/hotate bacon...Heck, try anything...We've yet to find a miss!

Service and decor are excellent in our experience. For the reviewer who had a not so great experience I would certainly suggest you call and ask to speak with the owner (Andy). We have spoken with him many times and he has been nothing but professional! It's worth a second try and I would be willing to bet he would want to make it up to you for the bad time you had at your last attempt...

I give this place a huge GO! I'm not suggesting that bad experiences can't happen here (although I've yet to see one) I am however suggesting that they can AND do happen everywhere. No excuse for the bad times, just hope that others go and try and share the same great experiences I've had!

: )

After waiting for an hour, I was told, they were "too busy" to fill my takeout order. Amateur show here...and people leaving were complaing about the food and wait. I'f never go back...

Ive been too many sushi restaurants in Ottawa, but theres no one comparable to Kiko sushi. The foods is really good, im a big fan of sushi and i went to many restaurants to try and this one is comparable to Montreal sushi restaurants. The only thing is the price is a bit over charge for what it cost. The decoration is simple and modern, very nice. Staffs are very nice, but the only thing is for a saturday nite, they suppose to have at least 1 chef and 2 sushimans to serve clients.....service pretty slow. It was a full house and we have to wait for the food come out. They should run the business faster for having other customers coming in & out often.

We had the oppurtunity to try Kiko's sushi bar this week end and it was fabulous!! The atmosphere was very warm and inviting, it smelled delicious when you walked in the door. The food was fabulous, and the service was exceptional!! I am still dreaming about it lol! I took a to-go menu on the way out and have been drooling over it ever since, and planning our next trip. It is very centrally located especially for the canal and winterlude coming up. I would highly reccommend it!!
