" I recently got takeout from Otani, and while everything tasted great, my sushi was squished and fell apart. The pork belly was tender, but it needed more teriyaki glaze. I appreciate the vegan options they provide, so I’ll likely give them another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Otani on a busy Friday night and experienced quite the wait. The atmosphere was festive, and we enjoyed sharing a variety of sushi rolls. However, I was disappointed with the tempura as it was oily and not very satisfying. I might come back, but I will definitely try the hibachi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, I had quite a disappointing experience at Otani last week. The sushi I ordered took too long to arrive, and when it finally came, the fish didn’t taste fresh. The waitstaff seemed overwhelmed and forgetful, and I ended up having to remind them of our drink order several times. It’s a shame because I used to enjoy dining here, but I may think twice before returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a lovely meal at Otani! The sushi is incredibly fresh, and the portion sizes are fantastic for the price. The staff is friendly and always checks in on us without being overbearing. I can’t resist ordering the spicy tuna roll — it's a must-try for anyone visiting. I look forward to dining here again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a fan of Japanese cuisine, I had high expectations when I visited Otani. The atmosphere was welcoming and stylish, but the food didn't quite hit the mark for me. Although I enjoyed the gyoza as an appetizer, the signature rolls were overly sweet and didn’t taste authentic. Service was attentive, but the flavors just didn't resonate with my palate. I will consider trying the hibachi next time, as perhaps that will be a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience while dining at Otani. I ordered the hibachi chicken, and while it was cooked well, it didn’t stand out in flavor. The place was clean and had a nice vibe, but I expected more considering the rave reviews. I’ll probably try again on the sushi side next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely evening at Otani! The service was fantastic, and there were several vegan choices for my friend who joined us. The hibachi show was entertaining, and the sushi was fresh and flavorful. Though the wait was a bit long initially, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good night out! " (*Curated Review*)
