My wife and I have gone to many Sushi places in Sacramento and this is by far our favorite. Priced like most sushi places but different roles along with the norm. Quick service, too

The sushi, ramen, drinks, and appetizers were delicious!! My friends are vegan and they thoroughly enjoyed their veggie rolls and edamame. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the delicious rolls, takoyaki, and ramen. Our server was so friendly, easy to talk to, and attentive!! The location is central to other bars and clubs and the vibes inside is great! I would definitely come back :)

Midtown Dining [Sacramento CA] My daughter introduced us to this sushi restaurant located in Midtown. We don't come to Sacramento enough so it was a nice change of venue for dining. We were seated immediately. The menu can be scanned on the QR code but it's very tiny on the phone. Seeing how we were struggling to view the menu online were given a paper menu but we were told that the prices were not updated. We ordered the following: Wakame Salad Broadway Roll Tempura Udon Bento Box - Teriyaki Salmon and Beef Teriyaki Food came quickly. The portions on my bento box were generous especially the salmon. The beef was tender and cut in perfect small bite size portions. The house salad was very good. The teriyaki sauce was spread evenly and both salmon and beef were tasty and flavorful. Daughter and husband also enjoyed their meals. The tempura that came with the udon was a large piece and came with mixed vegetable tempura pieces. Hubby said that the broth on the udon was a tad too salty for his taste. The food was a little pricey but even a casual dinner is expensive nowadays. The servers were great and very attentive.

There was plenty of parking on the street. When we came in, it was a bit warm. I don't know if they turned up the AC after or it was the propped open door that cooled things down. We started off with the vegetable tempura. We also had the orange blossom and midtown roll. The rolls were quite big, but I wished there was less sauce. Overall, I would say the place is average. I don't feel the need to return.

Horrible quality to price ratios most of the food taste terrible i regret eating here it's better to stay hungry. Also the price doesn't make sense $12 for edamame and they can't even cook properly it's overcooked or microwaved. Go to sushi cru or chief frank Japanese cuisine and get some real food for the same money

Fast service, nice experience for a date or with friends, adult friendly. I wouldn't recommend bringing kids, but teens are okay. The food is a bit pricey but makes it up with the freshness and great tasteVegetarian options: The menu lets you know what is included in the sushi and lets you know if it's Vegetarian approved.

I had just gotten out of the ER on a chilly Friday evening in late February after being in the middle of a 3 car pileup on 99. My condition was extremely painful and discouraging because not only were my sushi plans canceled after such a long duration of inability to find free time, but they were originally made because I already felt like garbage from dealing with a rough divorce. Just my luck, I go to do something good for myself and it backfires. My best friend and I found Otoro on Google around 9 pm whilst waiting for the tow truck after my other friend's car battery completely died in the middle of a parking garage when he tried to charge my phone with it. It looked like food in general wasn't going to happen. Fortunately, the tow person showed up in the nick of time, and we were able to get to dinner at the last minute. I had a terrible day that day, but it was made much better by the customer service, ambiance, and wonderful food. I'll have to come back here under better circumstances. I recommend the Orange Blossom Roll. Gotta do what you gotta do...

Came on a late night with kids after an event. Not all food was pictured. We ordered so nigiris and rolls for kids. 3 stars for the visit bcas of a mushroom appetizer and the services. The mushrooms were so weird tasting (fyi, I'm a mushroom lover, orders mushrooms almost at every place) we asked the waitress if she can take it back bcas it has a very weird texture and taste. She politely took it and said she'll take it off the bill. When we're almost done eating, an older Asian waitress bring a new plate of mushrooms and said the previous plate was a special request order for someone else and said this one was ours. She didn't even asks us if we still wanted it nor notify us ahead of time before making. It was like "here you must pay for this dish". If you wanted us to pay for the dish then just let us know. We did politely accepted the dish and didn't eat it. Will not be coming back tho.

Very nice corner view. Rolls were good. Sushi rice was on point. Wagyu beef just melts in your mouth. And the spider roll was crispy.

Firstly I did go on Valentine's Day so any shortcomings might be from high demand, it was quite busy!The hospitality and service were perfect. Servers were very cordial and the space was clean. We didn't feel rushed despite the crowd. Everyone was very accommodating, and the restaurant was clean. I order a ton of dishes, so the 50-100 per person accounts for that. I think someone could spend 30-50 comfortably and have a full meal.Unfortunately my issue is with the food. Clearly the ingredients are high quality, but it feels like the sauces and cooking techniques were more likely for lower quality ingredients. This is not to say there's no skill or talent with cooking, but it really covered up the flavor of the expensive ingredients they were using. The sashimi seemed very fresh, I really think I either went on an off day or some adjustments to the dishes would really elevate the quality of the food.Oh! The oysters were very good too, even if they were pretty pricey I would definitely get them again!I'll be coming back sometime to see if the quality of the food is any different! ?Parking: 5 dollars for the lot across the street if there's no street parking

Honestly have no idea why there are so many bad reviews. All I can say is if you're nice and a good person the staff will treat you like family. Some of these bad reviews seem like they come from sour people! I digress. Made reservations for Valentine's day a week in advance and they made it super special. Had balloons, flowers, and candles set up. Not only for myself but for other couples that made reservations. Food was amazing, we got three rolls and edamame. And of course we had some drinks. Overall 10/10. They do not deserve the rating they have right now it should be 5 OUT OF 5. If you're looking for an affordable night (as we all are these days) this place may be for you. Our bill came out to $85, and we left a generous tip for the hospitality.
