Ottawa Foodies

I was feeling lazy and hungry tonight so I went to Kyoto Sushi to get some take-out as it is very close to my house. The two ladies that were running the show mean business. No smiling, no hello or thank you, just straight up food time. The menu is printed on the wall behind the cash, and it reminded me a lot of the more proletarian sushi shops in Japan. I got a vegetable roll and a futo maki with tofu and egg. They were both pretty good - didn't blow my mind or anything, but for 13 bucks I was quite satisfied. I'd go back.

I went for lunch at Kyoto Sushi today formerly home to Teriyaki Plus. The restaurant has a casual décor (think cafeteria style) but they have a number of items to pick from. Included on the menu is sushi, udon, curries, and donbury. They also have a few side dishes to pick from and two bento boxes. I picked “combination A” which included rice and beef teriyaki, six California rolls, a green salad, about a dozen tempura (3 or 4 shrimps, broccoli, and I “think” sweet potato), and two gyoza. (You actually have a choice between chicken teriyaki or beef teriyaki – I picked beef and my friend picked chicken then we shared.) We had a generous portion of food for the $13.99 we paid and left the restaurant feeling very full. Even though they have quite a few choices on the menu they only have a few items of each (maybe half a dozen or so types of sushi, three or for types teriyaki, etc.) so if you are looking for an exhaustive selection of sushi to pick from you won’t find it here. However Kyoto Sushi is a good reasonably priced place to eat lunch.
