I got the chef's lunch combo w/ sashimi. I would say the sushi is good, nice and fresh pieces. I got a spicy salmon roll with my combo and it wasn't spicy but still tasty. The miso soup was nice and warm. Bit expensive for the set, I will have to say. But a standard classic experience. Inside had great seating with chairs and booths. Fast and simple service. No bells and whistles but very clean and nice staff. read more

The sashimi lunch plate was better.. But ver simple- Went with the happy hour tempera.. good amount of vegetables and two fried prawns but the batter was not light.. read more

Had a great dinner! The Takoyaki wasn't cooked quite right... a little chewy... but everything else was great! The Sushi Boat was fun! Rice was a bit dry/not sticky so the nigiri's fell apart. Generous portions/cuts. read more

I came to Oto Sushi for the first time with my best friend and his family, and I have to say it was a great experience from start to finish. They accommodated our group well, and the service was friendly and surprisingly quick. We ordered a little bit of everything--tempura vegetables, sashimi, and a couple of sushi rolls. Overall, everything was delicious. My only small critique was that one of the broccoli pieces in the vegetable tempura was so thick that a little of the batter wasn't fully cooked through. It wasn't a huge deal, though. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, and each piece of fish practically melted in your mouth. The sushi rolls were also on point and packed with flavor. Overall, this was a great meal with excellent service, and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the Redmond area! read more

Came here for lunch today, first time in but two of my friends love this place. We got a few different rolls but my favorite was the Maui roll, it was so delicious. The portions were big overall too. Two rolls did come out a little late in my opinion but not a bad experience. It wasn't busy for lunch at all either. The place is surprisingly big inside. I want to go back and try some other sushi rolls for sure! read more

We visited on a Wednesday with a party of four adults and two children, for dinner, and it was a very nice experience. They have Happy Hour until 5:30 which makes it a bit cheaper. We arrived and were seated right away. The waiter came by and took orders. We had a bit of everything; Edamame (complimentary), Gyoza, rolls, Nigiri, Shrimp Tempura, and soups. All the sushi was fresh and well prepared. The service was very good. The servers kept up on refills, new orders and removing dirty plates. Overall, a great place for sushi. read more

Was seated at the sushi bar in front of the chefs and was immediately given water and edamame to start. Staff were friendly as I took a while to look over the menu. There were many other families and other patrons at the early dinner hour of 5pm. The space was lightly decorated and they had a basketball game playing on the tv. Service was fast and the chirashi bowl I ordered was beautifully presented. The fish is cut pretty thick and required me to have to take two bites of one slice of fish which I'm not accustomed to. There was also furikake sprinkled on the rice which is not traditional but a nice surprise and a tasty addition. The food was decent and I would rate a 7/10. read more

We stopped by on a Saturday for a quick lunch. We ordered two rolls - the Oto roll and the Godzilla roll - along with soft shell crab for appetizer and ika nigiri. The staff was very friendly and got us seated quickly, which was great. Overall, everyone was nice and attentive. The ambiance feels like a typical Japanese restaurant - nothing too fancy or wow-worthy, and the food was similar. We left feeling satisfied, but nothing really stood out to us besides the crab. The fish quality seemed really good quality, which is appreciated. Overall a solid spot for a casual meal. Good quality and friendly staff. read more

First time sitting at this restaurant to order some sushi. The staff was very quick to get you seated. We went during happy hours. Ended up with five different rolls. The price was very reasonable, and the rolls were quite large. - Spicy Salmon Roll, was just okay - Godzilla Roll, flavorful, favorite - Spider Roll, a classic can't go wrong with this - Sleeping Tiger Roll, delicious - Mexican Roll, enjoyed the flavor read more

Reviewing the takeout experience. I have ordered takeout from Oto Sushi multiple times now and I highly recommend! The online portal is easy to use and the sushi has always been ready on time (or slightly early). Fish portions are generous and good quality, and is quickly becoming my go-to local sushi spot. Their tempura is also good as a side. The prices are reasonable as well, especially for the area. read more

I went here on a Friday evening when it was super busy, ordered pick up instead of dining in. Wait time was super fast, even though the place was busy, staff were incredibly organized and patient with us as we decided our order. My favorite was the veggie lover roll with the torched cream cheese, super creamy and good. I hate when sushi rolls don't have an even ratio, but every single roll was perfectly made, highly recommended this place! read more

I come here from time to time specifically for their happy hour, and honestly--that's where this place really shines. The sushi itself is decent--nothing mind-blowing or overly elevated--but the happy hour deals make it completely worth it. Your money truly goes far here, which makes it an easy go-to when you're craving sushi without wanting to spend a ton. That said, I would personally skip the California roll and go straight for their more specialty rolls. Whether you're in the mood for something with unagi, a bluefin and avocado combo, or one of their spicy tuna rolls, you really can't go wrong. Those tend to be much more satisfying and flavorful for the price. I also really enjoy their fried rolls and gyoza as appetizers. Again, nothing wildly unique or over-the-top--but still very enjoyable, especially when you factor in how cost-friendly everything is during happy hour. It's the kind of place where you can order a good variety, share with friends, and still walk away feeling like you got a great deal. One important thing to note is that happy hour is only an hour and a half, so you'll definitely want to plan accordingly and make it in on time. That said, I've never waited more than 5 minutes to be seated, which makes it super convenient even on busier days. Overall, it's a solid spot for affordable sushi, especially if you catch happy hour. Nothing crazy or life-changing--but consistently good, budget-friendly, and always an easy yes when you're craving rolls without the splurge. read more

This is a solid and consistent sushi spot. Lots of parking and I've always have been able to get a table quickly. The restaurant has 2 areas and one is particularly great for big groups. The service is speedy. I've been many times and some of the things I like to order are: - Hamachi sushi - King salmon sushi - Dragon roll - Godzilla roll - Fire starter roll Recommended! read more

I visit this restaurant often and consider it a great establishment. I am particularly pleased with the prices of the sushi and the wide variety of items on the menu. The interior and tables are always clean; the only downside is that preparing the order takes quite a while, which might not suit everyone. read more

We love the freshness of all their sushi's. We've noticed that they have quite a large returning regular customers that know the chefs. Very popular. Note they are closed between lunch & dinner and if you miss picking it up, good luck, cause they won't open the doors. read more

This use to be my go to sushi spot no more. There were some decent dishes like the real crab california rolls. But i tried to order the beef bento box and got this: 1) no more bento box 2) ordered medium rare and got well done beef not worth the $$ read more

Oto Sushi - overcooked beef - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

While this place is small and can't accommodate many people, they are certainly on the expensive side. We got their Nigirii platter which was $60. The quality of fish was good. The seared salmon in that was awesome. It's worthwhile getting a separate dish of that alone. The raw salmon was good too. California roll with fish roe (extra charge) was great. Service was okay. This is in a small strip mall and parking can be tight. read more

Oto Sushi - Expensive Sashimi and some of them are great. Seared salmon was Awesome - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

In my opinion this is one of better sushi places in Redmond downtown area. It is pretty decent spot and I am coming here for the second time in last year or so. Sushi are great and services are quick. The chicken Karaage was also great. In past I have also tried their vegetarian options of sushi rolls and all of them was good. I still remember they have something like Buddha roll - I would recommend that to my vegan friends. read more

Front lady was a bit rude didn't feel like seating us when there was soo many other seats available.

Yummy sushi spot! The salmon always tastes fresh and the staff are very kind. Definitely recommend the salmon nigiri

I was visiting friends in Redmond so we came here for lunch. I just got back from Japan so my sushi standards are pretty high. I'd had takeout from here once before.. Everything was quite good and the service was friendly & attentive. Atmosphere was quiet and calm as there was only one other table occupied nearby. I enjoyed my nigiri sushi and my buddy tried Curry Katsu for the very first time. My other friend had the Tuna Dinner despite it being lunchtime. I had one of the big pieces of his tuna sashimi and enjoyed it. They didn't have the big bottle of sparkling sake we wanted because apparently no one orders it. Oh well. Too bad but we settled for a smaller bottle that was ok. I'd come here again next time I'm in town. Thanks! read more

This is my go to sushi gem, the sushi is always fresh and delicious. The price to option comparison is one of the best. The ambiance is warm and relaxing. I never have to wait long for service or consistent presence of a server. I recently went there for a bithday dinner and ordered "sushi boat for two" which was so amazing and then to end the dinner they suprised me with a bithday dessert. 10/10 highly recommend read more

Oto Sushi - Sushi Boat for Two - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

We came to Oto to celebrate my daughter's 23rd birthday at her request. She has fond memories of going to Oto as a family since she was little. We had not been in quite a few years. We were welcomed back by the same lady that greeted is many years ago. The food was excellent as we remembered. read more

really good sushi- the veggie lover roll is my favorite as a vegetarian. but on the pricier side though

Great sushi at reasonable prices. Attentive staff and good lunch specials. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Open for lunch at noon on a Sunday, Oto Sushi provided a great meal for the four of us at affordable prices in a nice, casual atmosphere. We came a bit early, so had to wait a bit for it to open, but the good news was that it left us off-street parking right in front of the store. We were the first ones in, and the server was friendly and let us choose where we wanted to sit. We ordered a variety of dishes, most to share, and all of it was good. They have a menu like a diner, but with non-binded, laminated pages...they must get mostly maki orders since I could imagine mistakes would be made if individual sushi was being ordered (no paper and pencil to place your sushi/sashimi order). Gyoza ($5.95) - pan-fried. made from frozen, store bought. Shrimp Tempura Roll ($9.95) - solid roll, decent size, tempura was cold but still crunchy. Bluefin Tuna Avocado Roll ($8.95) - great value, very creamy avocado, decent tuna. MT ST Helen Roll ($15.95) - a baked roll. OK amount, a bit messy, but tasty. 911 roll ($12.95) - loved the crunchy outside with fine bread crumbs. Would get this again everytime. Dragon Roll ($16.95) - most expensive roll of the day, because of the snow crab and unagi. Yaki Soba ($16.95) - plenty of soba noodles, mixed with well diced vegetables. Kake Udon ($8.95) - simplest dish to make (even at home), but a good way to warm up on a chilly day with a dependable, filling bowl. You pay at the table, and were out of there in plenty of time to continue our day. The ingredients weren't the best quality, but the value and quantity and service was excellent. read more

Food: the food was ok. I feel that I've been to other sushi places that had a little bit better sauces. When I would pick up the rolls it would fall apart. Service: the service was extra slow. I felt that we wait so long for our food and it was unfortunate that we didn't get any updates as we sat there and waited. When the sushi came out wasabi wasn't included on the plate so I had to bother the chefs for some because our server was super MIA. Don't get me wrong though, when we were being served the host/waiter was very nice and pleasant. Ambiance: it's a cute place. Easy to find. It's casual and there are tv's on the walls so if you wanna watch the game or some random show they have on there's that too. read more

This is the first restaurant review I have left in a long time. I'll admit my exposure to Oto Sushi in Redmond is limited, however, I do like to come here with friends and family from time to time. The food is typically really good and it's a great spot to get a dependable great sushi roll. This review is not about the food, but more about how the meal ended. The Hostess came over at the end of the meal and asked us if we needed anything else before we left, which we replied "no, I think we're okay. it was great" and she dropped the checks off. She apparently was unsatisfied with the amount I tipped given she asked me very audibly if I meant to leave a bigger tip. I said "no, I thought that was fine" to which she replied, "it's actually part of our wages so I was just wondering if you wanted to add more to that" after asking for more money 3 times we promptly stood up and left the restaurant. We will not be coming back here. Again, the food is great and good service but this left a really unpleasant taste in my mouth. read more

Came here a few days ago with my partner before heading to the movie theatre. We came when it just opened for the evening around 4:30pm. It was quaint inside and had an "old-school" sushi restaurant interior. Good place to bring your friends, but a little out-dated for a nice date spot. Service is average, not much to comment about that. It was happy hour, so we mostly ordered from that menu. We ordered a Salmon King Roll, Sleeping Tiger Roll, and two Spicy Salmon Rolls. All three of these rolls were okay, it satisfied our sushi craving but there wasn't anything exciting about these rolls. Out of the three I tried though, I liked the Sleeping Tiger Roll the most. read more

Mid-sized sushi restaurant in a small strip mall in northwest area of downtown Redmond. Have a few parking spaces in front of the strip mall, as there is construction right across. Doing decent business on a weekday night. Has a center area with a sushi bar and two smaller areas on the wings. We got some chicken kaarage and calamari tempura to share. Both were passable, but not particular good. The kaarage doesn't have a much of crisp. For main, got the miyabi sushi dinner. The sashimi and nigiri are decent. Also includes a choice of a roll, and I got the spicy tuna roll, which has a little bit of spice to it. There is enough raw seafood and rice on the plate to get full, but it's not cheap at $43 before tax and tip. Overall, food was alright. Seafood seems decent quality, and you'll pay a decent chunk of change for it. read more

Oto Sushi - miyabi sushi dinner - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Had a lovely dining experience here! Looks like a small place from the outside, but is a comfy sushi place with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. There is free parking there, even in the heart of Redmond downtown, but it didn't look like there was a lot of it. Menu was plentiful and alcohol is available. Everything tasted really fresh, was plated well and was priced pretty average for the region. I will say they have happy hour also and prices are very fair at that time. Definitely will visit again. read more

Great food and always very nice people working. My kids love the dragon roll, spicy tuna roll and steak skewers!

Arrived at 5pm thinking we would beat the dinner rush.  Instead we joined the Happy hour rush. Happy Hour is Monday-Friday from 1130 am-530 pm; however,  the restaurant is closed from 230-430 pm.  We waited about 20 minutes to get seated and got our Happy Hour order in right before 530pm.  We ordered gyoza, hot sake, and a bunch of sushi. We did have to wait a short while for the sushi to arrive but the wait time was very reasonable.  The sushi was delicious. Ordered the Blue Fin tuna with avocado,  Shrimp Tempura roll, Unagi  Avocado roll, and Lion King roll, We devoured everything, soo good!  Even though we were very full, we ordered the Tempura Banana dessert. The menu said the dessert was served with mango sorbet.  Instead we got green ice cream. It was all very good until I remembered that I ordered the dessert for the mango sorbet.  Kind of bummed on the ice cream component. Staff checked in with us multiple times to clear empty plates and ask if we needed anything.  Overall, yummy food and great service. Would definitely go back. read more

We have enjoyed Oto Sushi's delicious, high quality sushi for years! They even have an amazing keto-friendly roll (ask for skinny girl).

It's been five years since I wrote my initial review for Oto Sushi. Since then, I've grown to appreciate a wider selection of rolls and, to some extent, raw fish. Although my rating of 4 stars still holds true, I've ordered takeout from here a couple times during the pandemic and tried more items off the menu. With this said, here's my update! Oto offers one of the largest menus I have seen at a Japanese restaurant. In addition to nigiri, sashimi and traditional sushi rolls, they have over 30 specialty sushi rolls, but it doesn't stop there! If seeking a larger meal, there are various options for dinner plates, curry, noodles and teppanyaki. These meals include miso soup, but they will not provide it for any takeout orders... this is unfortunate considering the number of customers opting for takeout these days. I'd recommend ordering off their Happy Hour menu (Mon-Fri, 11:30A - 2:30P) which has a good variety of sushi and Lunch Specials to choose from. Happy Hour will save you at least a couple dollars from anything you choose which is always a plus! + Sleeping Tiger Roll ($11.95 HH): Oh yes! The creamy spicy snow crab, crunchy cucumber and seared albacore tuna all melded together into one boldly flavored roll. The tuna was also sprinkled with some seasoning which gave it extra umami and finished off with a bit of green onion. There was supposed to be some garlic ponzu sauce drizzled on top, which I didn't detect at all, but I didn't miss it considering the layers of other flavors. + Avalon Roll ($9.95 HH): With shrimp tempura and snow crab inside, topped with avocado, creamy eel sauce and masago, this sounded like a perfect roll to me. Unfortunately, I thought the sauce was unnecessary and there was too much. It was quite sweet and seemed to mask the freshness of the roll. On that note, many of their rolls are actually drizzled in some type of creamy sauce... perhaps requesting the sauce on the side next time would be the best way to go. + Spicy Tuna Roll ($5.95 HH): This simple roll with spicy tuna and cucumber came packed with heat! It's relatively high on the spice scale compared to other sushi spots, but was tasty overall. + Spider Roll ($7.95 HH): A couple of my dining companions ordered this which includes tempura soft shell crab, snow crab mixed, avocado, cucumber, masago and eel sauce. They liked it and would recommend if you're a fan of crab. + Yaki Udon ($10.45 HH): Fresh shredded vegetables and chicken pan-fried with udon. Although the chicken was on the drier side, the remainder of the dish was delicious and shareable between two adults. From a service standpoint, the waitstaff was friendly enough and neatly packed up our order. I'm sure we'll be back again soon for another sushi fix! read more
