Otto Yakitori Izakaya se spécialise dans l art traditionnel des brochettes japonaises grillées sur des charbons de bois binchotan authentiques. Chaque brochette met en valeur des protéines de haute qualité et des légumes de saison assaisonnés simplement avec une sauce tare ou du sel de mer pour souligner les saveurs naturelles. Le menu propose diverses parties du poulet ainsi que des petits plats japonais classiques conçus pour le partage dans un cadre convivial. Une sélection robuste de saké et de bière japonaise complète le profil fumé des grillades proposées. La conception intérieure privilégie une atmosphère énergique caractérisée par des vues sur la cuisine ouverte et un mobilier en bois minimaliste qui facilite un service rapide. Cet établissement maintient une concentration sur la précision technique et l intégrité des ingrédients propre à l expérience izakaya.
Otto Yakitori Izakaya propose une expérience culinaire conviviale et chaleureuse que de nombreux clients apprécient pour ses yakitoris authentiques et son menu varié. Si une grande partie de la clientèle souligne la grande qualité des brochettes, l'accueil attentionné et l'énergie dynamique du lieu, d'autres convives ont exprimé des réserves concernant l'assaisonnement parfois inégal, la taille des portions et les prix élevés. Les avis sur le service et le volume sonore restent partagés, certains visiteurs profitant de l'ambiance animée et du personnel efficace, tandis que d'autres sont moins satisfaits en raison du bruit ou de la constance du service. Malgré ces divergences, l'établissement demeure une destination prisée pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience de type izakaya unique en ville.
The food was good, but our server was not attentive. She forgot about an allergy in our group & served us a drink with the allergen, when we specifically asked if the drink contained it. Thankfully, it wasn't a life threatening allergy, but had to deal with symptoms of the allergic reaction for days after.
Ça fait quelques fois que je visite le Otto & j'y ai constamment une bonne expérience : plats excellents, service efficace & courtois, belle ambiance… J'y ramène souvent des ami•es qui sont eux aussi ravis de leur soirée.
I have never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant before. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was uncomfortable. The staff kept watching our table throughout the night, & it honestly felt like they were expecting us to leave without paying. It was embarrassing & insulting.
The service was beyond slow. We waited forever just to get water, drinks, & food. Every time we needed something, it felt like we were inconveniencing the staff.
The food was not worth the wait. The skewers were undercooked, bland, & lacked flavor. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality.
What really ruined the evening was the attitude of the manager. She was rude, cold, & made us feel like we were not wanted there. As Black customers, the way we were treated left a very bad impression & made us feel singled out & unwelcome.
I used to hear good things about this place, but after this experience, I will never return. There are plenty of restaurants in Montreal that know how to treat customers with respect. Save your money & go somewhere else.
I used to be a regular at this bar & always enjoyed coming here, which makes this review especially disappointing.
On one visit, I was told they were closing & could not seat me. However, moments later, my friend who was already inside told me they accepted more people.
I decided to give the place another chance, but on my next visit I was told there was a minimum spending requirement to stay, something that had never been mentioned to me before despite being a frequent customer. The inconsistency was frustrating & made me feel like the rules were being applied selectively.
What disappoints me most is not the policies themselves, but the lack of transparency & respect shown to a loyal customer. Unfortunately, after these experiences, I won't be returning.
We got a several skewers. Some were delicious, some were just ok. The chicken skin, pork belly, scallops & lamb are pretty good. The vegetables were not worth & the squid was very chewy & tough.
The service is pretty fast & the staff is nice. The price is pretty high considering that we mostly just got skewers (around 80$ per person).
