"Although it’s not technically a sushi restaurant, Other Mama’s rolls and sashimi are so fresh that you’ll forget that you’re in a desert strip mall—and you’ll wonder why anyone would want to cook their fish. Do as the locals do and order from the chalkboard, where you’ll find the daily catch for fish and oysters, and don’t you dare leave before destroying the French toast caviar. These fluffy little sweet-and-salty bites started off as one of those chalkboard specials and proved so popular they landed a full-time spot on the menu. The always-hopping, polished dive bar atmosphere, decorated with the chef’s personal collection of treasures and trinkets, makes it perfect for a low-key catch up with friends or a relaxed date night." - emmy kasten, andrew ryce
"Other Mama, led by chef-owner Daniel Krohmer, reimagines classic seafood dishes with seasonal flair. Highlights include tuna tartare, poke, shrimp, sashimi salad, and grilled catch of the day. Crab cakes are a must-order — tender blue crab is lightly seasoned with chili cashew sauce and herb aioli. Check the chalkboard for daily specials before ordering." - Janna Karel
"A killer raw bar and innovative cocktails greets diners at Other Mama on the west side across from Desert Breeze Park. The brief menu includes oyster specials, ceviches and sushi, and larger options like Japanese fried chicken, miso ribs, and kimchi fried rice, all served in a low-key setting with a bar overlooking the cooking action. The industry-favorite restaurant offers a fairly modest interior — leaving small plates of deviled eggs topped with crispy oysters and French toast caviar to receive all the attention. Know before you go: Happy hour runs from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily with wallet-friendly specials like $5 draft beer and half-priced sake, plus a selection of $5 hand rolls and $2 nigiri." - Janna Karel
