Ginza Ramen - Ottawa, Ontario

Greeted on arrival, quickly seated and orders placed. The food came rarely quickly and it was hot. we had two appetizers, edamame and spring rolls. I wish we would have received some type of sauce with the spring roll so we dipped into the chilli sauce that came with the edamame. For ... the main we both had noodle dishes, I ordered the miso ramen and my husband the chicken dumpling. I’m a huge fan of Ramen, I’ve tried many and I must say, I was a tad disappointed with this one. Although it had taste, it had the bamboo shoot, mushroom, pork, corn.. it had 1 piece of egg and the yolk was solid (cooked maybe a little too long). Also, the taste was just a bit lacking, not bad but definitely could have had more flavour. lastly, I know with inflation and covid prices have gone higher but out 4 items (two being appetizers) cost us over 50$. I thought it was a bit pricey for the quality. That’s also my reason for the 4 stars. I’m ok paying for a good meal but the quality needs to be there for me to be happy with paying that amount. This location was not too far from the parliament building which makes it very easily accessible and of walking distance. Read more

Ginza is now "Gokusen", and to anyone else looking for good sushi... this is the place in Ottawa. The older gentleman working here works absolute magic, and was so welcoming. Every Maki roll I had was amazing; even the soy sauce was excellent and in a cool little reused sake bottle. ... The Miso that was served with our meal was literally the best I've ever had in my life. 200/10 for that Miso alone. They even had a little bit of imported real wasabi paste that changed my life. In summary: the best sushi experience I've ever had. I can't recommend this restaurant enough!! Read more

went here to order 1 portion of grilled pork vermicelli. but it must be said that the quality is not commensurate with the price, the meat is dry, tasteless, the vermicelli is very dry, feel its crispness. The dipping sauce is very bland. But i heard my boyfriend ... said ramen here very good, so i'll come next time for that soup, and i get them 3 starts and wait after ! Read more

Sashimi was nice, very fresh and well cut for the most part. The tuna was chewy though and not that great. The excellent mackerel made up for it. Would have given this place 4 stars, but there was a hair in the food which was definitely not mine and I ... lost my appetite 3/4 way through. I know things like that happen on occasion, but it’s still gross and should have been noticed as it was between 2 pieces of white fish. Read more

Food is good, but nothing out of this world. Service was okay as well. I liked that they had a variety of different things to eat, sometimes just eating ramen can get a bit boring.
