"Uotora in Crown Heights is an another cross between a neighborhood place and a somewhat high-end sushi spot. The staff is friendly, the space is small, bright, and minimally decorated, and there are some sushi and sashimi platters that aren’t outrageously expensive. But at the same time, you can sit at the bar and eat a serious $85, 13-course omakase. You’ll get things like uni and toro, along with an interesting selection of whatever fish they have in stock. If king salmon is on the menu, ask for it to be dressed with dashi." - neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, will hartman
