š£ Ottawa DT Must-Try: Sushi Fresh (ByWard Market Hidden Gem!)
Tucked away in ByWard Market, this unassuming Korean-run sushi spot surprised me! The plain signage almost made me walk past it foreverāglad I didnāt! š 48 Byward Market Square š No dedicated parking š° ~$30+ per person š± What We Ordered & Honest Ratings: š„ Spicy Lover Combo (3/5) "Very spicy" on the menu, but zero heat detected š 6 salmon + 6 tuna spicy rolls + 2 scallop gunkan Only the scallop stood out (the rest were just okay) š Salmon Poke Bowl (5/5 ā MUST ORDER!) Ottawaās best poke bowl Iāve had! Loaded with fresh salmon, avocado, fish roe, veggies, and addictive Oriental sauce Only gripe: Too little sushi rice š¤ š Udon Soup (3/5) Decent portion (can order half-size) Very mild brothāskip if you prefer bold flavors š± Unagi Donburi (5/5 ā ANOTHER WIN!) Buttery eel + sweet sauce = perfection Generous portion, rice perfectly cooked š£ Nigiri Combo (3/5) 7 types , fresh but nothing extraordinary š” Pro Tips: No reservationsāexpect a 20min wait (tiny space, ~5 tables) Tempura only available in combos Sweet shrimp (amaebi) on the menuātry if youāre adventurous! Vs. Junique? Not as fancy, but way better than Bento Sushi! Verdict: Solid DT sushi fixāpoke & unagi don are 10/10! #OttawaEats #SushiLover #ByWardMarket #HiddenGems #FoodieReview
