    We came for lunch. Food was great and came in a timely manner. The server was helpful and made sure that all our requests were met. The inside of this restaurant can be dark in the back, but if you are seated near the entrance, the lighting is fine. Forgot to snap a photo of the Spider roll, but this sushi was tasty but falling apart on me.

    My family and I have always had a great time here. The food is delicious, and the menu has a huge variety for everyone. The drinks are unique and yummy, and we love the environment of this place. The servers are all really kind and accommodating. This most recent visit we had uni pasta, different kinds of yakitori, some starters and sushi, as well as a few of their signature cocktails. It's our go-to spot for a consistently good experience. We recommend this spot and enjoy taking others here.

    Bento Bliss and Sushi Success! Oto Oto is my go-to haven for Japanese food, and boy, do they deliver! Every meal feels like a little party in my mouth, leaving me wanting more. - Miso Cod Bento:This bento is a showstopper! Picture this: a generous portion of savory miso cod that melts in your mouth, paired with a crisp, refreshing salad. It's a flavor combo that's as delightful as finding money in your old jeans. -Sushi is Fresh, flavorful, and fabulous! Each bite is a mini celebration of sushi goodness. The vibe is cozy and welcoming. Service can be a bit of a juggling act, but the staff are upfront about wait times and always manage to keep things cheerful. They might be short-staffed, but they never shortchange on charm. Oto Oto is a delicious detour into the world of Japanese eats. Whether you're diving into the dreamy miso cod bento or indulging in some fresh sushi, it's a win-win. I'll be back, and I'm bringing friends!

    sushi combo premium the sushi combo premium comes with 8pc tuna roll and 8pc nigiri sushi. I asked them to upgrade the tuna roll to a yellowtail roll and they agreed for an extra $4.00-- totally worth it! I also asked them to not put wasabi on the nigiri pieces it was soooo yummy! I actually was surprised to see some of these fish instead of unagi and shrimp but very much happy with the uni! I will definitely go back to try other items on the menu like the negitoro maki and citrus roll.
