Reviews of Otto Yakitori Izakaya show a wide range of experiences, with the atmosphere and vibe often praised for warmth and authenticity, though some diners find the music too loud or the club-like energy distracting. Food quality is mixed: many skewers are described as flavorful and well cooked, with favorites like yakitori, hamachi tataki, and karaage, while others mention bland or underseasoned items, cold buns, or undercooked noodles. Pricing and portion sizes are a recurring point, with some calling the value fair for the quality and drinks, while others call it overpriced or small portions and note added booking or service fees. Service quality also varies, described as attentive and friendly by some, but slower or inconsistent during busy periods by others. Overall, Otto Yakitori Izakaya is viewed as a lively place with strong decor and drink options, offering a notably authentic izakaya vibe, yet reviews indicate that experiences can differ in flavor, pacing, and value.
I used to go this place often because the food & mood is good.
But today the service was very poor & I didn't get my food for 40min after we order the second round food. No one was take caring my table & we were just sitting there even without water for an hour. They didn't know that the order wasn't went through even though they took a note when we order.
There was absolutely no after service for this situation.
TOUT ce que nous avons commandé était délicieux!!! J'ai adoré l'ambiance du resto! Éclairage tamisé, très bon service, nourriture de qualité . Mention pour le poulet Karaage👌

Somewhat nice inside with huge sellection of saki. Expensive for small skewers. The Brussel sprouts were excellent a must order.
Left hungry & unsastified. Due to small place & loud music some drunk guy was screaming at the top of his lungs. Couldn't hear myself talk. They apologized for the idiot customer.
Excellente nourriture avec ambiance très conviviale. Le service est particulièrement chaleureux. Shout à Fanny qui nous donne un excellent service avec chaque fois que nous y sommes :)
The restaurant canceled my reservation because I cancelled the reservation before. While I have never done that & the phone number shown on the record is not me. Moreover, they did not notify us in advance, which was very inconvenient. The waitress's attitude was also unacceptable.
We always loved the place & the food. But yesterday the service was just ok. It was pretty busy, but the tall waitress was doing all the work running around while the small waitress was just talking with friends & going outside the whole night. She was really laid back. We ordered drinks with the small waitress, but never received. The other one apologized & gave us shots. She was nice. We will still come back, but felt bad for the waitress.
Une expérience absolument unique! Des bons petits plats frais dans une ambiance survoltée, mais conviviale! Parfait pour un 5@7 ou une sortie en gang. Je le recommande absolument. 👍🏽🙂

Super bon BimBimBap, service super avec le garçon qui travaille la , rapide attentionné souriant. Par contre la fille fait semblant de travailler , fait des allers retours les mains vides & vient pour collecter l'argent & essayer de voler 30% de tips …
All meats were juicy & cooked well but definitely lacking seasoning or marinade. It was a big disappointment given the positive reviews. Spent $140 for everything in the photo plus 2 drinks. Would rather go to a steak house for ambiance & better food.
This is my favourite restaurant in Montreal, my special secret for myself, my one & only comfort-zone. On an exceptionally good or bad day, sitting alone at the bar eating grilled chickens & having a glass of umeshu brings me happiness. Comfort, warmth, low-lighting, the babel of people behind me, but it's never too loud or raucous. I love this place so much.
Insanely overpriced. Portions de schtroumpfs pour un prix exorbitant. En vrai, même les saveurs des plats étaient mid. Brochettes tièdes, les buns qui sont pas all that. Un peu absurde de payer 100$ pour un repas & ensuite devoir aller dans un bar à côté pour combler sa faim avec une frite…
C'est vraiment dommage parce que l'atmosphère du restaurant est très sympathique. Ça donne envie de dire des belles choses, mais en toute honnêteté je peux pas.
Food is really bland, skewers were small, & the drink we had tasted like soap & it was salty (Sakura litchi). Respectfully, as an Asian, I don't recommend…it was nothing special.
