What a comforting and delicious dining atmosphere. Every plate we had was so fresh and executed really well. I loved the assortment they had available on the menu and the ramen noodles were out of this world. I’d definitely recommend dining here as soon as possible… Friendly staff and great service! We made a reservation and that made the entire experience very stress free. Highly recommend!
So happy Ototo is back open. It’s our favorite spot over their sister Sushi Den. The food is consistent and good! We’ve never had a bad bite there. The spicy edamame is a favorite and tried the Brussels sprouts last night. I have to say they are my new favorite. The uniqueness of the Japanese grill brings about so many interesting dishes. Try this place. You won’t be disappointed. I took one star way as it’s a small place and if you are looking for an intimate setting this is not it. They have tables for 2, but they are so close to other tables for 2.
A truly Japanese-style restaurant making impressive classics; choose from the BEST Ramen in the region, raw dishes, small-plates, seafood, meats and vegetables. We’ve always loved Ototo (Little Brother, the meaning can vary with region), eating there regularly for years (directed by my Japanese wife) but in general Americans don’t understand the huge variety in Japanese foods that have been represented here. Because of this, the menu and direction has varied over the years. Today I’d call it a greatest hits menu and an amazing place to explore!
The dishes offered are a tasty mix of mostly old-school Japanese with some modern concepts mixed in. They’re ‘reopening’ which mainly means a change in menu, I think they have nailed it with this iteration! I expect to see a lot of variety in daily feature and Happy Hour Menus, the Den Chef Brothers are incredible classic chefs and great new world innovators!
Believe it or not, sushi is a new Japanese food and there is so more to Japanese cuisine than sushi! When you go, be experimental, try something new, share dishes and mix up the menu as much as possible. Don’t fear the veggies, they are incredible. We also recommend the cocktails, and happy hour is divine! Come with an open mind, an amazing date night spot!
