They refused to serve a whole hour before closing, that's ridiculous!

We had very high hopes seeing the number of positive reviews.
Unfortunately, our yakitori came out with hardly any flavour & was quite bland.
Very weird that everything was either super sour or bland as bread. Not sure if yakitori should taste like that…
Is definitely not to our taste but might be for some people?

Great ambiance, Ok Service, tasteless food.
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.

Undercooked noodles, bland chicken broth tasted like dishwater, soggy stone pot rice. Overpriced yakitori with nothing distinctive at all. Walked out feeling COLDER than when we came in.

Otto Yakitori is the spot if you're craving incredible grilled skewers & a fire atmosphere. The food is consistently excellent - every skewer is packed with flavor & cooked perfectly.
You also can't ask for better service. Fanny & Kina always take care of you with genuine hospitality, & Coco, the manager, is super kind & welcoming.
Honestly, it's one of the best places to chill, eat well, & enjoy the vibe. Highly recommend!

Beautiful little authentic experience. The matcha cocktail & yuzu liquor are as amazing as the various grilled treats. My faves were the eel & pork belly.

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.

Been several years since my last visit to Otto Yakitori Izakaya. It was fairly busy for a late Sunday dinner. More of a light meal spot.
- Brussel sprouts ($9.00) - small but nicely cooked & topped with pumpkin seeds
- Yakitori Otto set ($19.00 for 6) - negihama, momo, tsukune, tebasaki, kawa & hatsu. All the skewers were tender, favourite was the heart
- Curry don ($16.00) - Japanese curry had a nice underlying heat to it. Had a couple potatoes, chicken & pickled ginger mixed in

It was our first time & definitely not the last. The food is really good & the atmosphere is great, felt just like in Japan. I recommend taking the hamachi tataki! The service was excellent, the girl was so nice & pretty. 100% recommend!

Great atmosphere but service was just okay. We weren't too impressed by the quality of food. Skewers were not bad, but not a fan of mustard & mayo combo with the baos.

Comparables aux yakitoris qu'on retrouve au Japon. Le staff était gentil. J'adore qu'il y avait aussi des sélections de Highball & Chuhai (cocktails qui se boivent souvent dans des izakaya) Nous avons adoré notre souper!

nice place to go, food overall real good in the yakitori side of things, a bit smaller than I'd like for the price but that's somewhat expected for yakitori. kaarage was perfect, negima as well. downside was the hatsu which I found a little bland. but overall good place, would go again.
