Delicious, high quality sushi with fast service and a peaceful ambience. On the more expensive side, but you get what you pay for. Everything we've tried here has been fantastic! One of the few places around who don't feel the need to blast music and make it hard to have a conversation. Thats one of the reasons why Oto Sushi has become our favorite spots for special occasions/anniversaries. read more

OMG Salmon lived up to its name. Anyone who comes here should order that to start. Not sure why this place is rated so low on Yelp when the food and service are incredible. I've dined at Ascend, Shiro and many top sushi restaurants around the world and this place is legit. The sake selection was OK but at least they had all the basics! read more

Oto Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Thought I'd finally give this sushi spot a try since we're always in the area. We had the Salmon dinner and fantasy flight nigiri platter. The food was not bad, and I could see myself coming back here for a first date or somewhere where I wanted to have a fancier sushi night, but I feel that there are a lot of similar/cheaper/better quality places if you just want raw fish. I prefer the nearby poke spot or musashi's for a bit better fish quality and better value, but Oto definitely has a nicer or more traditional sushi restaurant/bar feel. I was also a bit surprised by how crowded the restaurant was and there were no spots open in the lot. Plan for a bit of extra time if you're swinging by. read more

Oto Sushi - Blossom! - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Love coming here with my son always great service! Great food and a great vibe! Super fresh sushi!

Parking is usually okay at this location as long as you arrive before the dinner rush. We were seated quickly as a party of three. It took some time to get water to the table and edamame was brought out first. We ordered the screaming poppers and fried oysters to share. The screaming poppers were presented beautifully and they were fresh and delicious. The center was warm all the way through and it was not too spicy for being a jalapeño. The fried oysters were really good and the chili sauce was a great combo, I'm not sure why it was served with a maraschino cherry, that seemed pretty odd, but the oysters were nice. Getting to the main course we ordered the seared Salmon Roll, Fire Alarm Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Peach Blossom Roll. The picture attached has them listed from left to right. They were all perfect! The Seared Salmon Roll had a nice crunch on the top and was warm and didn't need anything added. The Fire Alarm Roll was not as spicy as I hoped but it had good flavor. The Rainbow Roll is always a classic and this one did not disappoint, fresh and flavorful. The Peach Blossom Roll melted in your mouth and the presentation was creative! Also pictured is the Northwest Philadelphia Roll which is a fried version of the Philly. Super creamy and warm with a perfect topping. It took a long time to get someone to notice that water was needed for the table, we were all out of drinks for over ten minutes and staff would not look our way to make eye contact. They did a wonderful job otherwise on a fairly busy night but perhaps a pitcher of water for a table would help alleviate that issue. There is a lot of seating at this location with tables and spots at the sushi bar. There is also a room at the back that can be used for large parties! Overall this is one of my favorite sushi spots in the area, everyone had a great time and we will be back in the future. read more

This was my first time going to this restaurant. Especially late at night, you might miss the strip that is located on. (Unless you see the cat cafe blinking signs nearby) The setting is not modern but rather more traditional with wood paneling. When you enter, you can see a good portion of the restaurant including the sushi bar. I came here cold so I didn't check the menu before I entered. I noticed that they had an extensive list of rolls ordered. Like 3-4 separate pages for rolls and I appreciated how they separated these rolls by categories (baked, fried, raw fish, special, etc). In addition, on parts of the menu that had a small glossary for definitions on certain terms not only in the menu but what you might hear in there (irashaimase). As such, this place would be great for someone who has experience with sushi but is not used to traditional ones. I ordered the blue/tuna flight (3 nigiri pieces of different tuna toro), miso soup and tuna deluxe. The nigiri didn't come with wasabi between the rice and fish which is fine by me either way. And overall it was good. It wasn't my favorite miso soup but it did well. They do a lot in this restaurant including different combos and deals and just menu items. But the restaurant doesn't do so much of everything to the point that it is a jack of all trades but the food is mediocre. You can actually find good food here. Overall, the food is satisfying. If you are in Redmond transit center area, you can definitely stop by here without too much coming out of your pocket. read more

I've been coming here for years and always appreciated the quality, value and service. The chirashi has been my go-to dish. But year by year I've found more and more rice in the bowl and less fish, and this week was the final blow -- fresh sliced sashimi replaced by dreaded Krab. Charge me more if you must, I know about inflation, but please please don't put that colored processed stuff in my chirashi. read more

Haven't dined in so I can't speak too much on service. Sushi is decent. Freshness of fish is hit or miss. Katsu curry is my go to.

My favorite sushi spot in Redmond! Great price for the quality and always fresh. Highly recommend!

Yummy sushi for a reasonable price! And a great variety too, surprised that rating is so low

Unsafe for some diners-- I used to love Oto such. I recently was diagnosed with celiac and was happy to see they had a gluten free menu of my favorites and was willing to risk the likely cross contamination. However when I got the food (takeout) the order was not gluten free at all (tempura still) and found out after a one bite. I called in a panic, thinking perhaps it was a gluten free batter! But it was not. They offered to only refund the one roll (it couldn't eat 2) and had to argue with them. It felt really sad because mistakes like this are really scary for me (celiac is annoying to people but pretty serious). I completely understand some restaurants and cuisine types cannot accommodate gluten free-- it's ok and I get it. But please, for the safety of others, if you advertise a gluten free menu, please take it seriously. And if you do make a mistake, please respect how scared that can make someone. This was on a holiday, so I empathize with the fact that the staff might have been busy and not have the knowledge of gluten allergies (not common in some cultures) read more

Not enough time to address this spot, but the Dynamite Baked Sushi Roll is NOT worth missing. If you know Sushi, DO NOT miss their baked DYNAMITE ROLL. It took a while to hit the table. I can't rate this highly enough. read more

Oto Sushi - Nigiri Lunch - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I was really excited to try this place. In the website it had salmon sashumi 5 pieces for 6.95, sockeye sashumi for 8.95. I ordered online where the only picture and description of salmon sashumi was 5 pieces. When i got home there was only 2 pieces of sashumi. I called and the man said sockeye was 2 pieces. There was nothing on the website stating the difference in pieces, with a 2 dollar price difference you would think it would have more than 1 oz of salmon (i weighed it) read more

Oto Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

If you ask people how they feel about a place and their answer sounds something like, "It's the best one in Redmond.", then you might be in trouble. The food made half of us sick. The sashimi was tepid. The tuna and the mackerel left an aftertaste of bleach and was quite fishy. When I desperately tried to wave down a server, their immediate response was the dreaded raised index finger. Once you see that, there's nothing else I need to explain. read more

We came on a Tuesday at around 7:15pm. It was pretty busy but there was no wait for us. This is actually a really big restaurant with lots of seating. On the outside it looks like just a small place but I was surprised. Upon seating the server gave us complementary edamame which tasted okay. It was nothing special; just your typical edamame. We ordered the seared salmon roll ($13.95), the double salmon roll ($14.95), and the chicken teriyaki dinner entrée ($13.95). I liked the seared salmon but I definitely preferred the double salmon more. If you're a salmon lover like me, you will love the double salmon. I really like that the rolls have less rice than I've seen in other rolls at other restaurants. That allowed me to really taste the toppings more. Because of that, you can really tell the fish was very fresh. The chicken teriyaki was suuuper tender and I loved the sauce so much I dumped my rice on the plate to soak it up. They didn't give a lot of rice (at least not as much as I'm used to expecting) so we ordered another bowl which was $1.50. Our waiter was super nice although she was a little slow at times but that's not a big deal. She was also very friendly with another party who had a child and she was playing with the child which was nice to see. I will say that it's a little on the pricier side but I thought the food was good and I would definitely come back. read more

Bad food, rude staff, wouldn't issue a refund and wouldn't remark the food. Never going back

My favorite place, but that time I was so disappointed with the quality. I ordered on a phone and picked up the food, at home when I open the boxes i noticed some pieces of tuna was dark and different color then others , when I try it it was stinky taste like not good quality fresh fish almost vomited , still nauseous after all. Very disappointed. read more

Oto Sushi - Crunchy roll, Magic Roll, Music Roll (loved this one). - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

TLDR: generous sushi roll ingredient ratios. Quality. Tip: Do not touch the fish. They could die. Menu is all text, no images. Descriptive. Lighting is low but the overhead table lights are sufficient for you food paparazzi. Service: wait to be seated, order at the table, food brought to you, check brought to you, you will be watered. Complementary Edamame: salted but room temperature and cold. Good quality edamame though. Very green and not wilted; fresh. Miso Soup: flavorful and good but I wish there was more tofu--I only had 3 small cubes. Sad day. Fresh Philly Roll: generous hunk of salmon, avocado, and cream cheese in each piece. Excellent contents to rice ratio--you actually get a sushi roll as opposed to a rice roll with "sprinkled" contents. You know what I mean. This place doesn't skimp out on the goods! Aw man, this roll really melts in your mouth! read more

Food is amazing! And the quality of service is really good!. Redmond restaurant has great ambiance plus carpark is free

Favorite sushi restaurant in the area. The first is really fresh and the service is excellent

We dined here for the first time this past week for dinner. The first thing we noticed was just how many choices there were on the menu - dishes page after page and no pictures..Needless to say, I don't think I've ever had this much trouble and spent this much time deciding on what to order. As we narrowed down our options and waited for our food, we were given edamame to munch on, which was much appreciated. The dishes were as follows: - Spicy tuna - solid roll, no frills or flourishes - Spider roll - crunchy crab in a perfect balance of sweet and savory - Seared salmon roll - the first time I have ever described a ROLL as "able to melt in your mouth". Easily my favorite roll - Otoro - melty and delicate, just as expected of quality fatty tuna - Uni - I have yet to taste uni that I did not like; this was no exception - fresh and deep complexity of flavors - Hamachi - fresh, smooth, and on point - OMG! salmon - we got this out of curiosity and thank god we did. This was essentially seared salmon nigiri. Arguably more melty than the otoro at a much more affordable price. We ended up getting a second serving at the end. Fair warning - if you don't want to feel like you're literally breathing fat after your meal, don't leave this as your last bite. Oto Sushi had some of the freshest and tastiest bites of sushi I've ever had. I only dock it one star for two main reasons: price and service. The bill came out to roughly $50 per person, which I found to be a bit high for the amount of food we got. Additionally, although we admittedly did spend a lot of time trying to figure out what to order, our waiter hovered quite a bit. Given the number of times he asked if we were ready to order, we would've expected him to at least offer if we wanted any recommendations or something of the like. Instead, it felt very much like he was annoyed and getting more and more impatient by the minute. Nevertheless, Oto Sushi certainly exceeded expectations and I definitely would come again! And just as a heads up - the staff seems to be predominantly not Japanese, but I highly recommend giving them a chance! TL;DR: PROS: Some of the best sushi I've ever had, particularly the OMG! salmon; all dishes were spectacular, with none falling flat. CONS: Prices are a bit steep and service can definitely be improved. read more

Oto Sushi - L to R by column: 1: OMG! salmon, uni 2: Otoro, hamachi 3: Spicy tuna, spider roll 4: Seared salmon roll - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

It used to be better but quality went down this year a bit. The Godzilla roll and the Seared Salmon were alright. Maybe it's because of the times we're living in, but sushi places have gone down in quality with the prices still being high. I hope that is the case because it was better before and it's definitely noticeable read more

Got their spicy salmon roll, veggie tempura roll, chicken karage, miso soup and mango mochi ice cream. They also give edamame on the house. Food was yum! read more

A star earned for brisk and friendly service. But unfortunately it doesn't redeem the food. The food was pure comedy. The food tasted exactly like the Tier 2 Japanese restaurants that cater to the locals in China (confirmed by hearing servers and chefs speaking Mandarin). It's clearly done by people with no professional experience with authentic Japanese cooking and they just basically did the best approximation of items they saw on TV or something. We ordered 6-7 items and not a single item was prepared properly - even the miso soup was wrong. Anyone who has even only elementary knowledge of Japanese cuisine would raise their eyebrows at the 2 photos I've attached. You could spot 4-5 things wrong with each photo straight away. read more

We absolutely LOVE this place. It's our favorite place for sushi on the Eastside. I can't believe it only has a cumulative 4 stars. It deserves 10! I love that they are consistent - you will always get super fresh and super high quality sushi. Our favorites are the OMG salmon (both sashimi and nigiri are equally good!), Dragon Roll, Spider Roll, and Sleeping Tiger. They have long wait times if you go during peak dinner hours on a weekend. Sometimes like up to 2 hours to get a table. For this reason, we always order online (directly on their website) and pick up. Sometimes you'll still have to wait like 70mins for take out, but their time estimate for pick-up is always spot on. I like that they'll text you when it's ready so you don't have to guess. Also, bonus is that they're in the same complex as Yifang, so we always pick up a bubble tea for dessert! read more
