The food was okay, but our experience was disappointing. It was a very busy evening at the restaurant, making it difficult to have a conversation due to the noise level. We had to speak very loudly just to hear each other. For dessert, we ordered five gluten-free cheesecakes (four for takeout and one to try at the restaurant) and one cinnamon bun with ice cream. After tasting the cheesecake and the cinnamon bun, we decided we didn’t like the cheesecake’s flavor and asked to change our takeout order of four gluten-free cheesecakes to four cinnamon buns with ice cream instead. We informed the waiter that we had tried one cheesecake and didn’t enjoy the taste, so we no longer wanted the four cheesecakes for takeout. However, the waiter insisted that we still had to pay for the cheesecakes because they had already been boxed. While they offered a 10% discount if we wished to purchase the cinnamon buns, we found this resolution unsatisfactory. Overall, we left feeling very disappointed with the experience.

We tried Shinka Sushi Bar for the first time this weekend. At first, we were a bit confused by the location (it’s in an industrial area). The entrance door opens directly into the kitchen, and then we’re guided through another door and corridor that finally leads to the dining area. The setup is surprising, but it gives a cool “speakeasy” vibe. I have to highlight the ambiance—it’s beautiful, intimate, and warm. With only 23 seats, it made the experience even more enjoyable. We were greeted by a lovely server/bartender, and as soon as I mentioned my gluten intolerance, she reassured me, explaining that she’s celiac herself. This gave me peace of mind, knowing all our dishes would be safe for me, and they also have gluten-free soy sauce. Now, for the taste and quality of the food—wow, wow, and more wow. By far the best dishes we’ve ever had. Every bite had its own unique flavor; I only wish I could find the words to describe just how delicious everything was! I’m already excited to go back when I visit Ottawa again. This place is a true hidden gem.

Popped in for a quick batch of fries. I am Celiac and Five Guys are the only fries guarantied Gluten Free. I was sitting there eating away facing the staff and just watching them work. Then it hit me how they were all smiling, enjoying their job. They all had clean aprons on. The young man who took my order was so polite. Then I noticed him brooming around the tables, cleaning the fountain area. The whole place is clean!! To top it off, I then used the washroom and it was also spotless in there. I have never seen a fast food restaurant so well kept and so clean. Obviously they train their employees well. I made of point of asking to speak to the Manager (Emily) and told her she has a great team here and it doesn't go unnoticed. Great place, Great atmosphere, Great Food! Highly recommend!

Had a great brunch today with my friends. The tables were properly separated, the servers wore their masks and did a great job disinfecting tables. The food was delicious and had so many gluten free options (I have celiac) there were also great vegetarian options! Will definitely go back again!
