Bar OTTO est décrit comme une adresse qui marie cocktails créatifs et cuisine japonaise de qualité, avec des sushis frais, des plats comme le daikon burratina, le mazemen, le ramen et les cod cheeks, et des desserts qui plaisent. L'ambiance est souvent chaude et intime, parfaite pour une date ou une occasion spéciale, et le service est en général attentif et chaleureux, parfois exceptionnel mais parfois perfectible sur le rythme ou les explications du menu. Le choix de boissons est largement apprécié et certains cocktails comme le Spicy Marg sont cités parmi les meilleurs de la ville, tandis que le vin au verre et la carte de sakés rehaussent l'expérience. Beaucoup saluent la fraîcheur des ingrédients et la présentation soignée, et le menu dégustation est vivement recommandé par plusieurs; d'autres avis pointent des portions qui semblent petites ou des rapports qualité-prix discutables. Dans l'ensemble, Bar OTTO ressort comme une expérience mémorable qui mérite d'être revisitée pour tester l'omakase et découvrir de nouvelles saveurs et associations.
We had the karaage & the chirashi here, along with drinks. The karaage was lovely, & for the price, the chirashi had a good amount of sashimi on top of a bed of rice. The only thing I'd complain about is the strong garlicky taste of the fish in the chirashi. There isn't supposed to be a garlic taste in chirashi whatsoever - I'm assuming it was to mask the fishy taste or possibly smell? But I'd prefer lemon or something else, not garlic, as it was a bit overpowering. Otherwise, the server was lovely & attentive & we got everything we needed.
Ma 2e fois ici & probablement la dernière! Les drinks étaient vraiment décevants pour le prix & les portions très petites malgré qu'on nous ait dit le contraire lors du choix de nos plats. La dernière fois il me semble que les portions étaient facilement le double (& le prix moins élevé!). On nous a apporté le mauvais plat de nouilles à table puis finalement ça a été corrigé pour la bonne chose, mais c'est quand même un peu plate & ça crée de l'attente en plein milieu de notre repas. Nous avons écourté notre visite & avons terminé la soirée ailleurs. Le personnel était tout de même vraiment super gentil!

Bar OTTO is one of my new favorite places in the city for exceptionally good food & cocktails. The service was absolutely fantastic - our server was super friendly & made us feel very welcome. We sat at the bar - which made for great views of both the bartending & kitchen. We were really there for the drinks, & boy did they not disappoint. I had the best cocktail in the city here - the Spicy Marg!!! It was literal perfection - the bartender is incredibly talented & also very kind. We also got the crab boa & cod cheek skewers which were absolutely delicious. We will be coming back for a full meal & more Spicy Marg's very soon!
Love Bar OTTO! It has an awesome chill & intimate vibe great for a few drinks & a meal with close friends, a date, or a special occasion, but what really sets it apart is the staff.
I have only gone a handful of times but the staff recognized me really quickly & make sure to so hi when I pop in. It's the little things but it really made us feel welcomed when we first moved into the neighborhood. I love a local personal experience that feels small village in a big city & that's exactly what they provide.
The food also happens to be delicious & unique & they have a really solid Japanese whiskey listing which is what initially drew me in.
Thanks all! Don't change, you're the best!
Made a reservation, thinking that having ramen on a rainy night would do the trick.
But then, on a whim, threw caution to the wind, went for the chef's choice tasting menu & delighted over every dish served. I'm still thinking about how tasty the heirloom tomatoes starter, salmon oshizushi, truffle mazemen & matcha-chocolate layered cake were.
The service was great - just the right amount of attentiveness & warmth that set the tone for dinner with a dear friend & made for the perfect setting to catch up, dine & drink well.
Looking forward to an excuse to re-visit in the hopes that I remember to take photos -we were immediately intrigued by the visually stunning dishes & went for each one the second after we fawned over the plating.
The restaurant itself is amazing with great food, drinks & a great atmosphere. That being said their system to manage reservations is terrible. I tried to go there 3 times. Here is how it went: 1. Everything went great! 2. When we got there, they said they couldn't find the reservation despite us showing the confirmation email. 3. When we got there, the restaurant was CLOSED despite both google & their reservation website saying they were open (on december 23rd) Love this restaurant, I just wish they would actually let me eat there more than 33% of time I try to!

A cozy spot perfect for a casual night out. We went in on a weekday without a reservation, & there was no wait at all. Highly recommend their drinks, sashimi, & nigiri. The ramen & mazemen were okay. The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive. Fast service
One of my favorite Japanese restaurants with both fresh sushi/sashimi as well as mazemen noddles. It also accommodates for vegeteiran options as well. They also have a great drinks & sake. Last but definitely not least, their staff is incredibly kind & even accommodates children & infants. For budget friendly options, they have an omasake (chef's choice) from Monday to Wednesay 3 course meal for 45$ which is incredible value (we had lobster & octopus included)
Came here on a date with my wife & enjoyed my time here. While it's not a restaurant I'm exactly willing to drive out of way for, I'm still very happy to have tried it. We ordered the hand rolls, the salmon baos & the mazemen. Everything tasted delicious, but I thought everything was either too small of a portion or way too expensive. My favorite dish was the salmon Bao, which come in a set of 2. The flavors complimented eachother really nicely & the bun was homemade fresh, which you can taste right away. The hand rolls are good, but was way too expensive. The noodles we got as the main dish were very good, though a bit on the oily side. The whole thing was $120 after tax & we didn't order any drinks.
We loved our experience at Bar Otto. The staff was friendly, polite, very attentive to our needs. We were well advised on what to eat & we enjoyed everything we ordered. Loved the drinks too!
