" I can't recommend Sushi Ota highly enough! The freshness of the fish takes center stage, and their careful preparation shines through. Everything felt clean and well-managed. I had the best flying fish roe here, paired with a luscious spicy tuna. It's a friendly space, pleasant to try, and every visit has left me looking forward to my next. Reservations are a must! Bring your friends and enjoy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed with my visit to Sushi Ota. While the fish was fresh, I expected more from the sushi rice itself; it lacked the proper seasoning. The service was friendly, but the pace was quite slow, and we found ourselves waiting long for our orders. This place might have been great in its heyday but it didn’t deliver as expected this time around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Sushi Ota was fabulous! We started with the chef's special sashimi, which was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. I also sampled their nagiri and a few rolls – each was crafted to perfection! The service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere comfortable. This will definitely be a sushi spot to return to!

" We had a fantastic family dinner at Sushi Ota. The kids loved the eel rolls and sashimi, while we enjoyed the traditional nigiri. The staff were super friendly and helpful. It's a cozy place if you're looking to have great sushi without all the frills. The prices reflect the quality, and I truly appreciate their focus on authentic flavors. Definitely coming back for more weekend sushi adventures! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, Sushi Ota is outstanding! One of the best sushi experiences I’ve had in ages. The fish was impeccably fresh, and the chef crafted beautiful presentations. The dining room was cozy and vibrant. The only downside was the wait time, but it was manageable. If you love sushi, you must go here! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
