Well prepared food with an attractive presentation. Extensive menu.
Four stars due to limited space and less than timely service.
After a hard day of work, my business Partner and I wanted to relax and have a healthy dinner. We decided to try New Generation Sushi in Ottawa and my Goodness what an amazing experience. The service was great and what can I say about the food... WOW!!! We didn't regret our drive to Ottawa.
One thing was very surprising,...

On my second visit to New Generation Sushi, i was looking forward to eating some of my favorite sushi as well as trying new makis. The Unagi (eel) Nigiri is excellent. I highly recommend it. I also tried the Inari-Maki which is a roll with tempura sweet potato, that was very good as well. There was one specialty roll in... more
I'm a huge fan of sushi. Some of my friends highly recommended this place since I am from out of town. I've had great sushi several times but this has got to be the best I've had. I didn't expect it to be THAT good. The eel melted in my mouth. It tastes amazing and looks amazing! If you're looking... more
This place has a great new view of sushi. The dishes are perfectly executed and the taste is sublime. We have grest sushi in Montreal and this is as good as any we have tried. Give it a shot. Staff is also very k8nd and welcoming.
This is a relatively new restaurant and it was extremely tasty. The sushi was a mixture of traditional and contemporary dishes.
We had a very good cross reference of dishes, including Miso soup, that was delicious. Including, one dish of seared salmon in a sauce using kimchi as an ingredient.
And all at a very reasonable price.
The staff were...

The service was nice when I ordered take-away sushi from this place. However, the sushi wasn't great although pretty cheap - the sashimi and nigiri were dry and the soy sauce was watered out.
Viewing the prices when ordering, I was impressed that the cost was reasonable, but I was not expecting much. I was so happy to be wrong! The rolls were huge, lots of fish, and many unique combinations of ingredients. Each dish was a piece of art. Service was top-notch.
I zipped over to this restaurant quickly as it was next to my hotel. I really liked the funky little vibe it had when I walked in. There was a cooler with pre-made sushi which I liked because I was short on time. I grabbed a tray of "odds and ends". I call it odds and ends because when I... more
Nice little place with good, inexpensive options for a sushi lunch on the run. Many sushi types are available and those I tried tasted fresh and authentic. I also found the service quite attentionate.
Since this restaurant is rather small and not so cosy, I wouldn't necessarily bring my girlfriend there for a romantic occasion. But for a quick business...

We have ordered a couple times from this place. We usually get one of the sushi party trays because when we eat sushi we always want a lot. I just can't get enough of it. You have to give them notice if you want a tray, but we usually just call mid-afternoon and pick it up after work (5pm) on... more
We walked here from a nearby hotel and had 4 very different rolls, miso and sake. The food was excellent and prepared quickly and artistically. The sake (we ordered an entire bottle) was served piping hot but was overpriced at $26 for the brand. Overall a great experience and we would happily return.
We were visiting Ottowa and just happened to walk by this place and fancied sushi. Little did we know the sushi would be so good!
Apart from warming up with a great cup of miso soup, we stuck to the big rolls and maki but all of it was absolutely delicious! We even tried the dessert sushi which was surprisingly...

I have not had a huge amount of sushi in my life, so I carefully chose New Generation based on others' reviews. I was not disappointed. We really were a bit lost when looking at the menu, so we told the owner there were only 2 foods we wanted to avoid, and we otherwise let him guide us. That worked... more
I stayed at a hotel close to this restaurant and pass by this restaurant and gave it a try. Decor of this restaurant is quite cozy, if you do not eat Sushi menu is rather limited.
Tried 18 pieces sushi and I can say 6 pieces are authentic, rest 12 pieces are fusion. Salmon sushi were fresh, sushi with rice...

Around the corner from my hotel, i went hoping for a good meal despite all the seemingly over-the-top trip advisor reviews. And as a traveller and frequent sushi eater, I agree with the previous reviews, this is the most delicious sushi I have tasted. Now I have seen everything.
Started with miso soup and mostly had salmon rolls, salmon and...

Many already know that Ottawa is not really the place to go for sushi. Heck, I would even argue Calgary's sushi is better. However after many terrible experiences with sushi in Ottawa, I stumble upon New Generation Sushi. The rolls were fresh and the sashimi melted in my mouth. The atmosphere here was modern and cool and there were plenty... more
This is always my go to spot for sushi! Everything is delicious and presented fabulously. If your in a hurry, call ahead with your order and they'll have it ready for take out or dine in.
What an amazing experience. First of all, the owners and staff are extremely friendly. I parked wrong but they came out with me to open their own parking so I wouldn't have to find something else.
Now, I travel pretty much 50% of the time all over the world for work and I at sushi 1-2 per week. I have...

We ate at this restaurant after asking our hotel concierge for a decent sushi restaurant near our hotel. The atmosphere is stark, clean restaurant. The waiter was quick and good service, not super friendly. The food was great! The portions were on par with most sushi restaurants, the presentation was delightful, and the flavours were fantastic . We had 4... more
I'm so lucky that I work a block from this place. It's now a regular haunt and a regular source for a healthy, delicious meal for those nights when I or my colleagues have to work late. (They have a great take-out menu, too.) It's got a modern atmosphere that's been updated in the past year or two. The service... more
Earlier in June 2013 I ate here for dinner one evening while in Ottawa on business. It is conveniently located near downtown hotels, and other attractions so quite easy to get to on foot if you are in the downtown area.
The menu was large. I thought - had four different items - that the food was very nicely prepared...

The outward appearance of this restaurant is deceiving--it's non-descript and doesn't seem to draw you in. However, the food is so good. The owner was great at advising us on what to try. Try the sushi bites at dinner (not on lunch menu). Definitely worth eating here--the service, food and presentation all thumbs up!
Love this place! The food is fresh, tasty and innovative. You have to try everything and I recommend the sashimi! Every time I go there, the food has been taken up another level,
We arrived in Ottawa on the Labour Day long weekend and after reading up on New Generation I wanted to see how good it was. Well, we got to the restaurant at around 830pm on the Friday night and it was CLOSED!
If this is the best sushi place in Ottawa (as many people on here say it is) then...

I love coming here. The food is always fresh and the servicei s wonderful! They also make sushi in an innovative way. Try the Spicy Hotate if you like scallops. The rice crispie sushi is also worth a try.
The sushis are fresh and original. Good prices for the quality. It will remind you of...Vancouver.
Do I need to say more?
This restaurant is across the street from the hotel at which I stayed. I had a combination sushi plate and wakame salad. The salad was watery and one of the maki offerings was just weird - some form of panko in the centre. OK but not great.
I've tried most sushi places in Ottawa and this is hands down the best.
This is the best sushi I have eaten in Ottawa. The ingredients are fresh and the decor is simple but stylish. Worth a visit for lunch or early dinner.
I've had sushi in many different places in Ottawa, but I think this might be the best. I've been there more than 5 times and it is phenomenal. Very fresh and the presentation is lovely. The dynamite rolls are just fantastic. The service is very good too, and I am always surprised how low our bill is, considering how much... more
I love sushi and finding this little spot in Ottawa made my day, lunch and dinner a few times during my two week visit to the Capital. The sushi was always fresh and flavourful. If you are a sushi fan you must try New Generation Sushi, but get there early as seating is limited.
I recommend the dynamite roll.
We used to go here often after work for a quick sushi fix, but haven't been in ages. Our visit last night was underwhelming, sushi bar has two very noisy motors, coupled with the small fridge used for drinks and takeouts (?) we could hardly hear each other over all that noise.
Dragon eyes roll which used to be our...

Another lunch time choice for me. It is located a hop, skip and a jump from city hall and only a few minutes walk from Parliament Hill. It is a small restaurant offering very good sushi and a range of sample plates. I recommend making reservations. The price is also a plus.
There is a surprising number of take out...

I have been going to NGS for years – actually almost ever since it opened in 2004. I have tried many sushi places in Ottawa, downtown, in the Market and further in Hull and Gatineau. I've tried quite a few of them and I can confidently say : This place is THE BEST SUSHI PLACE IN OTTAWA. Yes, it does... more
They make everything from scratch so it's a bit of a slower service during the lunch rush. You can order ahead of time and have it ready when you get there.
I've tried many sushi restaurants and this is by far the tastiest. I would recommend New Generation Sushi to everyone, including those who have never tried sushi before. NGS have a good variety of cooked makis and if you're looking for something completely unique, allow the chef to impress you with one of his artistic and creative rolls on the... more
Delicious! Delicious with a good atmosphere
Very good at luch time. Very fresh!
Combining Japanese culinary traditions with fresh, innovative creations, New Generation Sushi features a large selection of specialty sushi rolls to please all palates. All our sushi are freshly prepared and made to order.
