5/5 - Outstanding Food & Amazing Service at Ōtorō
My wife, our 2.5-year-old son, and I visited Ōtorō last night, and it was easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed.
We started with the pork dumpling appetizer, which came out perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. My wife ordered the Mt. Fuji roll, and I went with the Tsunami roll (extra spicy). Both rolls were incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The Tsunami had the perfect kick without overpowering the fish, and the Mt. Fuji was rich, balanced, and delicious.
For dessert, we shared the Ube flan, and it was outstanding. Creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet--definitely a must-try.
What truly set the night apart, though, was the exceptional service. Our waitress--who also happened to be the front-of-house manager--was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The head sushi chef even came by to check on us and talk through the rolls, which added such a personal touch. You can tell they really care about their food and their guests.
Overall, Ōtorō delivered on every level: great food, great atmosphere, and world-class service. We'll definitely be back soon!
