Japanese Village Reviews
We had an awesome experience. Our server was great and the food excellent. The chef put on a great show.
My wife and I visited Japanese Village today, and we were absolutely delighted with the entire experience. This place is truly amazing — one of the best dining spots in Ottawa, Canada. The food was incredibly delicious — especially the meat, which was cooked to perfection. We ordered two main dishes priced at 68 and 65, and every bite was worth it. The flavors, the textures, the freshness — everything was outstanding. Oh my, the sauces... they were unbelievably good! I was savoring every taste. The chef was fantastic — so skilled and friendly. The whole staff was welcoming and attentive, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We stayed for about an hour, but the time flew by so quickly because we were completely immersed in the moment. For the first half-hour, the chef was cooking right in front of us, and we simply couldn’t resist trying every freshly prepared bite immediately. I genuinely didn’t want to leave — that’s how much I enjoyed being there. And my wife was over the moon, especially since today was her birthday. We actually discovered this place two weeks ago and decided it would be the perfect spot to celebrate. And it truly was. Thank you, Japanese Village, for making this day even more special. We’ll definitely be back!
I adore this place, we try to go once a year. We love the chefs here, and the food is great! Their sesame sauce is the best I've ever had. I get the filet mignon and it's so beautifully cooked, and so are the shrimp and veggies. You get a salad and bowl of rice with a main. Their California Roll is also tasty as an appetizer. It's down on the lower level of a highrise so fair warning, there are stairs. We usually go with a larger group, it's so entertaining to watch them make the food in front of you.
We have been going to Japanese Village for the last 20 years. Has the prices risen - yes. Is it still delicious - absolutely. With rice ask your chef for a side of steak sesame sauce and pour it all over your rice. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. It's the best combo ! I love this place and always will. It's fun and delicious everytime.
I have lived in Ottawa for 13years and known about this place for only 4years. I come here often and I just don't understand why people bring their bad experiences to put the place down. Why don't you simply speak to the staff they are so friendly and generous. Ask for help it's not that hard. If you are not satisfied with something, it's a matter of conversation. Google reviews are not the place to complain about a service you received a week ago. My honest review about this place is: Staff 10/10 Starting with hostesses and chefs, they treat you like family. Food 10/10 Many people complaining about price raise we are seeing that literally everywhere. Anything cost more than what it did a year ago.... Atmosphere 10/10 It is always a blast when I dine here. Plus they getting the liquor license back. Come on, people, give this place what it deserves
Lovely staff! great food! and an amazing experience with nice japanese decorations, i recommend anyone take the family here at least once, trust me, you won’t regret it. unforgettable experience.
Always a pleasure to visit! The food is high quality, fresh, and delicious. The service is always fun, quick, and friendly. It’s definitely pricey for a nice dinner, but you get a quality that’s extremely worthy of the price point. Excellent for big parties and gatherings!
For me and my family was one of the best experiences ever. They are friendly and educated. It took a little time for us to get our dinner but waiting was worth every minute. It’s a dinner show. It’s a truly wonderful experience with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and delightful food .
