I was in town for a guy’s weekend with my best friend and I made sure our dinner plans included sushi. We decided on a restaurant new to the both of us – New Generation Sushi, located close to both Ottawa’s business district and the pub strip on Elgin Street. It’s a small restaurant, with a sparse (as in few decorations on the wall) yet hip (filled with reds, blacks, whites and neon lights) decor. We started off with standard miso soup. It was very hot and otherwise a standard soup. We had ordered Read more [...]

The family went away for the Easter long weekend to the lovely town of Burlington, VT. It’s a quaint town with a gorgeous lakeside, a downtown pedestrian mall, outlets in the suburbs and an excellent variety of restaurants. For our Easter Sunday lunch we decided to try the local sushi restaurant to see what it had to offer. Asiana House is a medium-sized and well decorated restaurant within the downtown area, and is well worth the visit! The miso soup began with a good broth and ekept going with Read more [...]

Maiko is well known in the Montreal sushi scene and I had been eagerly awaiting my chance to test the best. Located in the trendy Mile-End district, Maiko is a chic restaurant with modern decor, a full selection of alcohol and a comfortable atmosphere. I had hosted my birthday party here 2 years ago, and was pleased to return. The miso soup was an unfortunate start to the meal. The broth was fairly thin, and while the tofu and mushrooms were both excellently done, there was only one piece of each Read more [...]

Last Sunday I wanted to go out for sushi lunch with my lady and our son. Montreal has very few sushi restaurants available on Sunday at lunch-time so we ended up somewhere new. We visited a fairly new all-you-can-eat restaurant located in Chinatown. The restaurant is located on the corner of Clark and de la Gauchetiere, so while parking was difficult to find the people-watching opportunities were extraordinary. The lunch menu’s variety intrigued us. While it lacks some basics on the sushi side Read more [...]

Kebuki is a fairly new restaurant located between Cote-des-Neiges and TMR. Parking can be scarce. I went with work colleagues one cold Friday for lunch. The interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated but was unfortunately very cold; there is no curtain or double door keeping out the cold Montreal winter, so every visitor to the restaurant brought in a new wave of frigid air. We huddled in our coats, looked over the menu, and submitted our order. The miso soup was requested by all on such Read more [...]
