Pork tonkatsu was tender and had good flavor. The 49er roll was yummy and a good portion size. The bento box came with a salad and miso soup. Both were very good. Our waitress was very nice and attentive even if we chose to sit outside. The restaurant it tucked in between different businesses which made parking a little tricky from someone coming from out of town. read more

Always solid food. Love the staff. Can't go wrong with the New Mexico roll. We usually get our food Togo but when we do dine in, we always sit at the bar and enjoy the engagement with the chefs read more

Decent Japanese restaurant on a corner. The restaurant is an "L" shape where there's a sushi bar on one side and standard table seating on the other. The downside to this is it made it difficult to see their sushi special menu on the chalk board. The food itself is very good. The combo tempura is for sharing and I would rank this as one of the best tempura I've had. Fried to perfection with just the right amount of breading. Vegetables are fresh but the shrimp tempura appears to be the standard restaurant quality. The sushi-sashimi combo was very good with excellent presentation and care that went into it. read more

This place is super small but the quality of food is great!!! Most impressive is the massive green tea ice cream the size for 2. I didn't like the chocolate syrup but the green flavor was good (yes, there are definitely gross green teas flavors out there, but this place is good) I didn't get the roll I wanted because a Yelp posted named it wrong, nevertheless the wrong roll I got was still good. Nice balance of the raw fish they had. The chicken Katsu was super tender and yummy. All the rolls that were ordered were very colorful and delicious One thing I didn't like was that the tofu agadeshi wasn't as crispy and we are use to. read more

We were up in the Healdsburg are glamping at Wildhaven and didn't feel like making our dinner so off to Otoro. We arrived early, when they opened and were greeted enthusiastically and grabbed a table. Overall the food was super fresh, well prepared and elegantly presented. The restaurant is spotless and service is quick and friendly. Agadashi tofu and mixed tempura were hot out of the fryer and tasted very clean. Our only complaint was that the sauce lacked flavor/salt. The rolls were tasty but I was expecting real crab not Krab. They threw in some fresh pineapple for dessert. Overall, tasty Japanese treats and friendly, efficient service. read more

Had outdoor seating, which we appreciated since we had a party of six. Cost can run high, but I guess that's sushi in Healdsburg for you. At least the food was good and parking lot is convenient. Not bad overall, which is win when trying to find decent sushi in an unfamiliar town - without breaking the bank. read more

Excellent Hamachi Heaven Roll!!!! Paired with Sapporo after a long day. Recommend Otoro to anyone looking for good sushi! read more

OTORO - Excellent Hamachi Heaven Roll!!!! Paired with Sapporo after a long day. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Since I am traveling and don't have the chance to go back for a second visit, I hope the poor fish quality was a one-off because of Otoro did well with food portion, food presentation, pricing, ambiance and service. As a sushi lover, I can tell you I was not happy with the quality of the fish. It came as quite a surprise because the fish cut and the presentation was great! It was sad to take a bit of fish and to have the texture was spongy and chewy. read more

We were able to sit outside which was very pleasant. The waitress, I believe her name may have been Amy, said multiple times that we ordered "a lot of food". And we actually didn't. I've never had a waitress ever say that before. The tempura has too much batter , can't truly enjoy the veggies and shrimp. The sushi roll I ordered was too soft and fell apart unless you pick it up by your fingers. The beer was good, never drank Suntory beer before. Also was told the crab is not all real crab. Too many other Japanese restaurants that are far more superior to this one. read more

Cozy sushi bar, outdoor seating, friendly staff and service. Very expertly prepared sushi. Everything was fresh and delicious: sashimi, sushi and rolls. Complimentary miso soup and melon were a nice touch. Recommend. read more

Quaint little Sushi joint located on the outskirts of Healdsburg. Not the most ideal location for a sushi restaurant as it is located at what most would consider a business complex with not much signage indicating there is a restaurant inside. The inside is nice and inviting and the staff is very warm. The menu is quite large, so get ready to sit down and read a novel of drool worth sushi options. As for pricing, it is very affordable and the portions are quite large for what you pay for, so no complaints for me. I opted to order both the Avocado Roll and Heavy Metal roll (Spicy Tuna, Unagi, Avocado, and Macadamia Nuts). Fish was very fresh, and everyone else was on the same page as well with their dishes. Honestly I need to revisit this fine establishment again very soon as they serve some top quality sushi, especially compared to some other sushi restaurants nearby. read more

Been coming for years. My favorite spot in Sonoma County. The food is always amazing. The owner & chef Andy is a great person and knows what he is doing. You can tell he loves what he does. He is very welcoming and makes our trips here worthwhile every time. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but we always get the melting salmon, shiitake roll, and other large rolls. Recommend! read more

They should be proud of themselves for serving such good food!! Loved it!! The wagyu tataki on the skillet was SO fun and yummie. I can't wait to come back for more!! read more

Amazing service, amazing food. Ambiance was great. Great price. Love coming here with my family. Side note: I'm pretty sure my server is on test, his traps were massive. I think I saw him in the kitchen holding up every plate in the building at once. read more

We've eaten here twice during the pandemic, as a result of our usual sushi spot being completely closed. The food is FANTASTIC! Service is kind, patient, and not overly rushed like many other restaurants trying to keep your timing to a minimum because of high demand for outside seating. Quantity is substantial, unusual in this area, and doesn't sacrifice quality. Mind you, this isn't a super high-end, omakase spot, but rather a great spot for creative sushi. On both occasions we ordered the baby octopus appetizer and the blushing geisha roll. The octopus is cooked beautifully, super flavorful and tender. I'll order this appetizer every single time! The Blushing Geisha roll is also fantastic. I'm not usually a huge fan of mango in sushi, but the combo works really well. Other rolls that stood out were the Climax Roll, Caliente Roll, and Fire Rainbow Roll (in that order). We've also ordered the Big Spider, Hamachi Heaven, and Inferno Scallop rolls which were all delicious, but when compared to some of the others just didn't quite stand out from the crowd for us. They also bring out sliced pineapple to finish with your check, which is a lovely end to the meal! The staff at OTORO is also exceptionally clean - we watched them wipe down tables immediately after guests had left, and of course they wear masks. read more

Great and very reasonably priced Sushi/Japanese restaurant a mile outside Healdsburg square. I'm not a huge sushi fan but the rest of the family is - so I judge sushi restaurant on the other offering. The Ramen was very good - if not a bit hot. I could eat that alone and be happy. The gyoza was excellent and very crispy not soggy like some places. The same with the chicken karaage and popcorn shrimp. Both very good. As for the sushi - the family really enjoyed and said it was as good or better than the two sushi restaurants on the square. We over bought because the prices were so low we assumed tiny portions - but they were normal size. We eat out sushi a lot and this was the smallest bill I can remember - well done! read more

They mess up my simple to-go order. One item was the wrong roll. Oh how a small mistake can be such a big one. Also, they skimped on the soy sauce. How awful is that? Service was friendly. But they also didn't return a customer's credit card while I was there. The customer had to ask for it back. That's terrible. Sorry to have to thumbs down this place, especially when I appreciate good veggie roll options. read more

Good sushi, great price! We had a party of 10 that got seated immediately. Service was quick. Also finally a restaurant with no MANDATORY gratuity! We of course still left 20%, but it was a breath of fresh air to not have it mandatory. Incentives the waiter and waitresses. 5/5 would come back! read more

The best sushi I have had in a very long time. I'm always looking for a Sushi restaurants that can match the wonderful tastes and flavors that I have found at Sushi restaurants in San Francisco, and New York. OTORO is right up there with the best. The food was fresh and had wonderful flavor. The presentation of the dishes were lovely. Each roll at OTORO was flavorful and unique. The Sashimi was fresh and had divine flavor. I truly appreciated that not all of the rolls were slathered in spicy mayo. Which is common in western sushi restaurants. There were spicy dishes, such as spicy tuna, but there were abundantly more choices than just spicy everything. I will travel the 40 minutes from my home to Healdsburg just to eat here. It will be a destination location for me. read more

Otoro is the best. They have amazing sushi, a great menu to choose from; everything is so fresh and impeccably prepared which is my main criteria for a sushi restaurant. Easily accessible with a parking lot. My only con is that the outdoor seating that they have is not too far to a busy intersection so it's not the best outside seating, but glad it's an option. The staff is so kind and helpful. They have made great menu recommendations for us and always answer all of my curious child's questions with grace. They communicate when they are very busy and it might take longer which is A+ service. Thank you Otoro! read more

This is a tough one for me... Certain things I expected may reflect on my revue. Let's call this 4.6 stars. So many things I can appreciate, yet there are things they can work on. First off, we were famished and both drove separately long ways to meet here for the weekend. We were stressed and hungry. We are staying near by and wanted to get delivery. YELP says OTORO delivered! Second, don't trust YELP completely for all updated information. I have found that often places are NOT OPEN when YELP says they are... etc... I almost always call places first! This place does not deliver unless you have a certain app. But they were open. So we left our EgyptianGoddessOasis And came to the food. Took a bit to warm up to the place but we enjoyed ourselves, at least I did? Wink. GREAT service, sushi, atmosphere, cleanliness WORK ON warmer soup and better tasting house salad. The soup was two cold and the onions did not seemed cook. You can make a better miso soup, please try! Same with the salad, put a little love in it, some arugula, cilantro, pepper, sesame seeds... We ordered dumplings, Rainbow roll and a bento box to share. Everything was good except the former mention soup and salad. RYAN our server was very attentive and made sure we had all we needed and even bowed. This seemed reasonably priced compared to the Americana places near by that charge $7 for bread and butter and $18 for a burger, fries at the other places are another $7. Took a bunch of pictures before and after but no shot of the double decker RAINBOW roll. Eat more Sushi Jessica and Patrick read more

OTORO - Hiking before diner - Sushi Bars Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Great spot for sushi in Healdsburg. Jalapeño bombs are a great appetizer and their special rolls are tasty too!

Last minute late dinner decision. We arrived around 8pm and the place was full. With the only spot open at the sushi bar. This was a "bad spot" To sit when indecisive.... every tray that was being made was a "we should try that". Finally one roll was undeniable ... and it had tobiko (something we said we would get next time). The special for the night was a poke poke roll. $18.50. I know I know the price for a single roll is a put off but it's BIG!!! And worth it. Sushi roll filled with Tuna, and something else, rolled with avocado, sliced and laid on its side then topped with 3 types of poke fish (tuna, yellowtail and ?) mixed with mango, seaweed salad and a nice light sauce, topped with tobiko and garnished with green onions. Amazing!!! We also ordered spicy California roll, tuna roll and salmon roll. We think they mixed up the order as we got something different ...no biggie Total bill $45 not bad!! Till next ******** 11/4 - Alaskan roll over cherry blossom Spicy California hubby fav still, tuna roll. Agreed pass on sashimi too much food. :) read more

We ordered to-go during one of the hot 100+ days and the food was tasty, communications via online ordering were flawless (order placed, order being prepped, order ready) and pickup was friendly and easy. Can't ask for much more. The menu had good variety and tried some new-for-us items. Thanks! read more

Bummer. I was so hopeful after seeing reviews. I asked is their "crab" real crab. Was told it's a mixture of artificial and real. Um ok why bother wasting your money putting real in there. Certainly tastes all fake. At least if it says krab with a K I know. Best part was tempura gyoza. Otherwise no thanks. read more

I have got to say this place is a hidden gem. The wife and I went here and was pleasantly surprised. The people are so friendly and the place is really nice. The sushi was amazing. The rolls were had were so good dragon roll half moon bay roll are so yummy. So if your up that way stop in you will not be disappointed. read more

This is my absolute favorite sushi restaurant in Healdsburg and surrounding areas! Delicious does not even begin to describe the food from this establishment. Yummm..... could eat it every day!!! Try the spicy California roll and you will be hooked - it has just the right amount of zing to it!! Otoro's Bento boxes are great too & don't forget the 49er Roll, it's like being in the stands at a home game! We usually finish off with several rounds of Sake Nigiri pieces - so so good! Of course the service is top notch and super friendly :-) read more

We were greeted promptly a sat on the patio next to the heaters. Their sushi menu is SO extensive it was almost overwhelming. We ordered the spicy edamame to start and it was delish- it was a sweet spicy but not overpowering heat. I had the princess with soy paper instead of seaweed ($1 extra). It was the most fresh tasting sushi i have ever had, and i eat sushi a lot! The sake list is also extensive, and they didn't have what we wanted to try (sold out), but the recommendation the waitress made was perfect! Also, service was slow because of the HUGE amount of take out orders (covid) so she brought us some miso soup on the house and apologized- we didn't mind- it was a kid free dinner for us so take your time! Over all, the full experience was 10/10 and we will be back. read more

Unfortunate update, The last time I ate here in February (2021) I was not able to eat the roll that had salmon as it tasted...past it's prime. I literally gagged and had to dispose of the bite. My cats wouldn't even touch it... Yesterday I ordered two rolls. An Alaska and a mango tango both were tasty (Salmon tasted better) but I forgot their "crab" is imitation. I really wish this was disclosed in the menu so I could have ordered something else instead. read more

We did take out. Have eaten in the best sushi restaurants in Marin and SF. The takeout we had was the best we have every eaten. Outstanding.

Very good. The staff is very friendly. Overpriced though. The prices on DoorDash are unreasonable.

Trip to Mendocino. My boys love sushi and there is no Japanese restaurant in downtown Healdsburg where we always stopped. We found this place on Dry Creek rd which is out of downtown area. Clean, quick service and good sushi place The interior does not look fancy or high end, but the place is clean. The platings are very simple, but looks very nice. read more

I'd never have expected to find an amazing sushi place in Healdsburg but I'm always craving sushi so we stopped by this place during a recent trip. The fish was very fresh, the prices were super reasonable and service was fast (we placed a take out order so I could stuff my face while we drove in between destinations). We scoffed down both sushi sets in less than ten minutes. read more

Solid sushi spot. Fish was delicious. Got there early and just in time before the place was packed!

I LOVED OTORO! They were so warm and inviting when I first entered the restaurant. Quick and thoughtful service. And the rolls were curated to perfection. And there were unexpected surprises at the end of the meal that made me feel truly taken care of. Arigato OTORO. read more
