One of the best Japanese restaurants in San Diego. Fish is really fresh and the dishes are beautiful. Service is very friendly and ambience is great. Will definitely come back.

Perfect place for quick, delicious food with great service. Sat our party of five on an impromptu Friday afternoon. I got the Cilantro and the Kraken. Oh, and they split the check with ease!! Wish they had plumb wine though. :( Plenty of free parking!

Great sushi spot, with a wide variety of selection. Beautifully put together rolls bit not too complicated with it takes away from the flavors.

Enjoyed my meal. Salmon Miso was tasty, but the portion was small. I would skip the house salad in this restaurant. If you want a nice salad, I recommend the salad at the Greek restaurant. 1 minute walk by foot. This restaurants name is Harbor Greek Cafe.

The place gives really cozy vibes. The prices were extremely reasonable and there were plenty of vegan/vegetarian options ?

Sign says “Wait to be seated” so…..we waited….and waited……and waited. Server came by and told us to grab a seat wherever we want. No menus offered. If the place was busy I could understand but it was 4:30 and mostly empty. The same server forgot to place part of the order for the table next to us. He brought them their bill but they were expecting another roll. He apologized and offered to re-submit the order but they declined. They opted to just pay and leave. This should have been a warning. The same server did the same exact thing to us. We ordered 3 rolls. Two showed up relatively quick but not the third. The server never once returned to check on us or refill drinks. We had to flag down another employee to assist us. The original guy eventually came back to ask us what we needed. He reviewed his device and confirmed that we had ordered the third roll but had not received it. He resubmitted the order but never retuned, never refilled a glass. We did recieve the last roll eventually…..from someone else. I will say the food was great! It was the service that sucked. We never received a bill at the table. We had to stand in line again at the front to pay. The same server ask us if we wanted to place a to-go order as if we had just walked in. The whole experience was frustrating. I don’t think we’ll ever go back.
Had a great time. Food was great and server Jackie was

Visited Laning Rd store last night. Music volume was so loud we couldn't have a conversation at our table. I asked repeatedly to lower the volume, but was told only the owner could access the system. I asked the manager to call the owner but he refused. This is egregiously bad customer service. They should be ashamed.

This is a hidden Gem! I hate to say it out loud and would prefer to keep this place under wraps but I can't! Ototo Sushi is probably the best sushi spot that I've been to in years! Congratulations to the mastermind behind the Japanese minimalistic decor; it's just perfect! And also a congratulations to the chef(s), the menu is perfectly balanced and well thought out. The staff is also very friendly and upbeat. They spoke highly of the restaurant; which is a good sign!One of my favorite sushi rolls was the Lemon Cilantro with Salmon....(mmmmm salivating!) 5 stars is not enough.... This restaurant deserves a Michelin star in my books!
