THE LEAD VERDICT

THE PEAK
“The tuna tataki was pristine with a perfect sear and ruby-red center. the sesame-soy dressing was well-balanced. for a pan-Asian restaraunt in Ottawa, the raw fish quality was impressive. Fresh and expertly prepared.”
THE VALLEY
“No oyster or raw bar option. with this quality of fish handling, a few oysters or a small crudo plate would be a natural addition. The kitchen clearly has the skills for raw preparations.”

THE PEAK
“The chicken katsu was well-made and the staff confirmed it was halal. Crispy panko coating with a tender, juicy breast inside. The tonkatsu sauce added a sweet-savory element. A safe, delicious option for halal diners.”
THE VALLEY
“Only the chicken was confirmed halal. The pork belly bao, a signature dish, is obviously not halal. A chicken or beef bao alternative would let halal diners experience the restaurant's most famous format”
