" Wow! Just wow! I had my first omakase experience here and it was nothing short of spectacular. The chef crafted a beautiful flow of flavors with each course, explaining the origin and preparation of each dish. I was amazed at how fresh everything tasted. Every bit of sushi had a story, and the settings were intimate. The perfect place for sushi lovers or anyone wanting to explore real Japanese cuisine. Just be prepared to spend some time here; it’s an experience you don’t want to rush through! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit felt a bit rushed, unfortunately, even though the quality of sushi was great. The fish was fresh and everything tasted good, but it lacked the ambiance of a traditional Japanese establishment. Prices were reasonable for the quality but would have enjoyed a more relaxed dining experience. It’s a solid place to grab sushi after a long day, but I hope to have a more leisurely experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Sushi Ota for dinner last week, and we were thoroughly impressed! It is one of the best sushi experiences we've had. We ordered a variety of dishes – sushi, rolls, and some cooked appetizers. Everything tasted incredibly fresh! Not to mention, the staff was lovely and very attentive. We’ll definitely be back for more of that delicious uni and their crafted rolls. Make sure to reserve ahead if you want to avoid the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sushi Ota is a gem tucked away in a plaza. The first bite of their chirashi left me in awe of the freshness. It reminded me of my time in Japan! I couldn't get enough of the fatty tuna and sweet shrimp. Make sure to check their specials, they offer some unique items that are fantastic. The atmosphere is casual yet charming, making it a great spot for a date night or casual dinner. Don't skip dessert; the mochi is delightful as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! Sushi Ota surprised us with its quality and dedication to authentic flavors. The quality of their tuna and salmon melted in our mouths. The service was attentive, and the intimate setting made it a great place to enjoy sushi. I left with my heart and belly full! We will definitely be back for more adventures in flavors!

" My family and I chose Sushi Ota for dinner after hearing excellent things, and we were not let down! The nigiri was fresh, and I particularly loved the scallop sushi. The atmosphere feels upscale yet approachable, which made it perfect for a family outing. The service staff gets a gold star for their attentiveness. I highly recommend a visit if you're craving quality sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay for me. I had a few sushi rolls and some sashimi which were decent, but I think I expected more. My family seemed to enjoy it, so maybe I’m just picky with sushi. The atmosphere was nice, and service was good, but it didn't blow me away. I’d say give it a try, but the experience might differ based on what you order. " (*Curated Review*)
