" Yummy and fun! The small plates are perfect for sharing, but I'd recommend ordering more to get a full meal. Loved the atmosphere and the sake selection—there’s really something for everyone. A great place for casual nights out! " (*Curated Review*)

" So much hype for this place, and it was worth it! We got pretty much everything on the menu during our visit. The flavors were on point. The fried dishes felt light and crispy. The ambiance is relaxed, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The only hiccup was the wait for a table was longer than we expected, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. " (*Curated Review*)

" The place has a ton of character, but it was packed, which made it hard to enjoy the atmosphere. The service was adequate, but I wouldn't say it was anything special. The food was decent, but I've had better Japanese food elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" A gem in the city! The food was simply fantastic—from the kara-age to the creative tempura toppings. Everything was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the seasonal sake as well, it’s a fun experience trying different flavors. I can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" OTOTO has quickly become one of my favorite spots! I love the vibe and the incredible variety of sake they offer. The dishes are just the right size for sharing, and everything feels authentically Japanese. I've tried many things and haven't been disappointed yet. Absolutely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished dinner here and I must say, I was expecting a lot since I've heard great things, and I wasn't disappointed! The kara-age was delightful, perfectly crispy. The only downside was that we had to wait a little longer than expected for our food, but the crew was very apologetic. All in all, a solid experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience overall! The menu had a nice range, and I was particularly fond of the sweet potato and soft-shell shrimp dishes. Sake variety is quite impressive, definitely come with a few friends to share many dishes. I’ll be back ASAP! " (*Curated Review*)
