Japanese Village

Salad, squid was disappointing , lobster tempura was good, shrimp, sushi and scallops were okay. I've had better lobster and steak at other places. Overall, pretty underwhelming for the price. Don't expect a show either. Service was nice but at times a bit slow. If you've ever been to a great Teppanyaki place and go here then you will understand.

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 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.

The prices are through the roof, they don't seem to have a liquor license anymore and the quality is meh at best. $52 for a steak main resulting in a $400 bill without drinks for 5 of us - with three kids. Food was fine, service fine. But the price is so far above the quality. We won't return. The cleanliness of the walls and ceilings is gross, I don't think the vent hoods work. Everything is coated in grease and sticky dust. The bathrooms don't seem like they've been cleaned in a decade. Unsure what's happened to this one fun place. Avoid at all cost.

Very friendly and inviting. Food is delicious, very filling and not heavy. Good price, and nice ambiance.Food: 5/5

I've been coming here a couple times a year for 20 years. Expecting prices to have gone up, so not surprised there but for $52 for a steak, I expected some entertainment. The cook did nothing other than light a fire. No theatrics whatsoever. The striploin was about 1/4" thick and very fatty. Waitress was quick to take drink orders but never saw her again. Overall a very disappointing visit.

So much fun to watch the food being prepared by chefs who know their routine so well its all muscle memory. Delicious every time and very entertaining. Been a couple times, always a fantastic evening.

Super great place, very busy, fun atmosphere, amazing food. Removing one star, we were offered to have a cocktail at the bar while we wait. Waited 30 min along with 15 other people and we were finally told we'd be served at our table only.Food: 5/5

I was excited about this place because it was close to our hotel, The Metcalfe Hotel. It was such a disappointment. It was the worst teppanyaki I’ve ever had. First off it’s in the basement and it was 100 degrees. The place was super old. Second, they had an extensive alcohol list, but told us there was no alcohol. Their sushi menu was so limited to a few rolls and sashimi. The service was also so slow. The food was worse. My daughter’s spicy salmon roll was warm and falling apart. The roll was so loose and shouldn’t be warm. The rest of the food was bad too. There was no soup, only salad. The chef did no tricks at all. Crazy enough the food was bland. At other places, you have to tell them to stop with the shakers!! They also did not have or make fried rice. The sauces were even so bland. One sesame and one “ginger.” There was no fresh ginger in it. The steak and lobster plus veggies were cooked nicely, but again bland. I follow a ketogenic lifestyle and was excited to try another teppanyaki place. Do not come here! Find other better places in Ottawa.

Thanks yes, we were a group of 12. I had filet mignon with shrimp dish it was beautiful, a nice Japanese salad with a scoop of icecream. My family brought me out for my 60th Birthday.. our server was No He was great. Thanks for the memories.
