Review Summary

Otto Ramen is described by reviewers as serving a chicken ramen that can be tasteless and overpriced for the value, with many noting that there is better ramen for the same price and that it is not worth recommending. The basic chicken ramen with onions is considered expensive, and even when it is decent it would be more affordable elsewhere. The vegetables gyoza are noted to be crispy and fried.View restaurant profile
