I was in the area and found this on Yelp. The restaurant decor is cute and it was early enough where it was not busy at all. I started with the edamame with sea salt but it was a little light on the salt. I had a piece of unagi which was spectacular. Finally, I had the tuna tataki which was slightly over seared. I was surprised to hear Latin music playing in this local spot, but the overall vibe was good. Although I wasn't impressed with my options, if I'm in the area again I would give this place another try. read more

5/5 - Outstanding Food & Amazing Service at Ōtorō My wife, our 2.5-year-old son, and I visited Ōtorō last night, and it was easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. We started with the pork dumpling appetizer, which came out perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. My wife ordered the Mt. Fuji roll, and I went with the Tsunami roll (extra spicy). Both rolls were incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The Tsunami had the perfect kick without overpowering the fish, and the Mt. Fuji was rich, balanced, and delicious. For dessert, we shared the Ube flan, and it was outstanding. Creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet--definitely a must-try. What truly set the night apart, though, was the exceptional service. Our waitress--who also happened to be the front-of-house manager--was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The head sushi chef even came by to check on us and talk through the rolls, which added such a personal touch. You can tell they really care about their food and their guests. Overall, Ōtorō delivered on every level: great food, great atmosphere, and world-class service. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Otoro's sushi sampler was my favorite sushi I have found in the area, but unfortunately I haven't found the other sushi and appetizers to live up to the first sushi dish I ordered. Service has always been kind and prompt. read more

My fiancé and I came here to celebrate our six year dating anniversary and I am so glad that we did because it was honestly an amazing experience! First of all, I'll start with thanking Jimmy for making it a fun time. We sat at the sushi bar and he was very friendly and entertaining! We had such a great time that my fiancé went again the following day!!! We started out with drinks and refreshing cool appetizers (we plan to come again together to try the hot side of the menu). I forgot what drink he got, but I got the Ube margarita and it was really good! It was refreshing and I did not expect to get a random photo of Naruto along with it LOL. The Sake Carpaccio (thinly sliced salmon sashimi with truffle ponzu) and the Otoro Spoons (raw otoro and uni) were so fresh and flavorful! Oh, wait! I just remembered we also got a warm appetizer -- crispy brussels sprouts! It was a very delicious side dish! Moving on to the entrees, we shared two sushi rolls -- the Zuwakani Roll and the Katana Roll. Both were hefty and filling. Lastly, the desserts stole the show! The pandan flavor in the Pandan Crème Brûlée was strong and had a good crunchy topping. And the Ube Cheesecake was very creamy and dense, the perfect amount of sweetness and loved the nutty topping to add to the texture! It's a very pretty spot for a date night! It does get busy, even on a weekday. We only opted to sit at the sushi bar just because we didn't want to wait for a table and it was the best move! Will definitely come again! read more

When you find yourself with a Desire to have a Foodie Experience such as Sushi you are looking for Supreme Freshness, Quality Fish, and something you may not be able to Create At-Home. Every aspect of our Visit here was a Complete Letdown.. Before Entering the Restaurant we were Surprised it was in a Strip Mall. Not that a Strip Mall is bad by any means but we thought the Establishment was going to be a bit more Upscale. Upon stepping inside we found the Atmosphere to be Loud, Stale, and Cold. The Dining Room is Open with Tables stacked on top of each other. To the point of if the Table Next Door Sushi Roll looks good then just pluck a piece with your Chopsticks. We both Ordered Sapporo On-Draft neither of us could Finish the Pint due to Taste. We were Excited for the Real Crab Meat Rangoon as they are in a Star Shape like Traditional and made with Snow Crab but the Flavor Lacked and the Interior was "Wet"; weird. I had 2 Different Rolls picked out from the Menu that I was deciding on. We chose the G14 Roll with Spicy Tuna and Spicy Yellowtail. The Spicy Tuna was Nonexistent and the Yellowtail was Ground(?) the Use of Sauces was Far Too Much and as a Fried Roll it was Delivered Soggy. We barely ate any of this Roll. Lastly an Order of Tuna Sashimi and Salmon Skin Hand Roll; both beyond Foul. Otoro was a Huge Waste and Such a Disappointment. read more

Came here for a dinner with my friends after our hair appointment. We were told that service isn't that attentive but we didn't have that issue at all. We were seated immediately and waited on promptly. As we weren't ready yet, our server gave us some more time. He was very attentive and came over to check on us. The food came quickly and was really delicious. I ordered the Mt Fuji roll. The restaurant is in a shopping mall but was modern and decorated beautifully. read more

Otoro - Sushi Bars Near Me - Plantation, Florida

I've been here several times and have yet to write a review. The sushi experience is by far above and beyond any other sushi in the area, and there are quite a few. You can tell the chefs have been educated and skilled in the fine art of sushi making. The combinations of food for the sushi rolls will leave your mouth wanting more. The ambience is great. It's a bit small for the demand that they have however, they have expanded to a couple tables outside and they do have a bar with sake drink options, wine, beer available as well. There's a great sushi bar as you walk directly into the restaurant, which makes it pleasing to the eye upon arrival. read more

Dining room is modernizing decorated, which provides relaxing ambiance. Sushi chef specially made us fresh oysters with Uni, tuna tartar, and Cavier on top, finished with some refreshing tasty sauce. Sushi is fresh and is of good quality. I got complimentary birthday cheesecake and servers singing 'Happy Birthday' to me with a gong. definitely is a place visit again read more

We did the omakase; and it was delicious. So many dishes, and every bite was amazing. The pacing was fast, and the service was so responsive. The chef-owner is engaging and welcoming. We have been to the main dining room one time before, and had the toro spoons, which were what convinced us we needed to go for omakase. Highly recommends. We can't wait to go back! read more

This place was fantastic. We sat at the sushi bar and the first thing I need to say is JIMMY!!! The owner/sushi chef behind the bar really set the tone for the night. He was so excited and energetic, happy to see us, and have conversation. He gave us these delicious otoro spoons on the house and it really set the bar high for how amazing to food to come was to be. We were immediately impressed and ordered the 12 piece nigiri sushi moriwase and I think this may have been better than some omakasi I've been to. Every bite was a delight and we finished the night with an otoro and truffles piece that was as buttery and melty as you would ever dream. The restaurant is super cool and I wish we could have ordered dessert but we ran out of time. Sit at the bar and have a great experience, especially if Jimmy is around. read more

Amazing food. Beautiful place, such a romantic, perfect for a date night or chill happy hour. The service was great, servers are very attentive. We came across this place while looking for a place to eat before going to the Broward Mall. It happed to be happy hour and the prices were great. Their $5 JB roll is such a great value, you get a full size roll that its filled with cream cheese, salmon and avocado. It's honestly pretty filling. The shishito peppers are so fresh and a great portion for sharing. My fiancé ordered the pepper steak that comes with jasmine rice. It was a big portion, looked and tasted amazing! We both weren't previously fans of sake but their sake drinks are amazing! The lychee martini is so smooth and tasty! Even without the happy hours their prices are pretty affordable and reasonable for the quality and portion sizes read more

Dear Diary, It has been 22 hours since we had dinner at Otoro and I just can't stop thinking about how amazing every single bite was. The staff was so kind and attentive. Aside from the bartenders making a mistake and putting liquor in my mocktail which they were quick to fix I have zero complaints. We plan to come back for the 15 course and also happy hour. I loved how upscale/chic but welcoming everything was. This could easily become my favorite sushi restaurant. read more

I have come here a few times and always leave amazed, with my tastebuds satisfied, remembering the taste of fish in Japan. This place offers delicious fish at a fair price.

The lighting serves for a great date spot. read more

Otoro - Chirashi bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Plantation, Florida

I am giving the manager a big 0. My friend became flushed and her heart rate went to 100 after a couple sips of a lychee martini. We ate our appetizers and a such roll but she wasn't feeling well. When the bill came we asked if they could remove the martini that was sitting there full. They had to call the manager for an okay. She said NO after we had already waited 30 minutes. First she said she was coming down from the nail salon she also works at. But then just phoned and said no. The bartender was so sweet and apologetic even said not to tip him. We did tip him because he was great but the manager sucks. The manager said she could give it to us in to-go cup. Ummmm I think that's illegal. Needless to say the food was great but we will not be going back for this reason read more

We had some great edamame and home made dumpling appetizers followed by a rainbow sushi roll and an assortment of Nigiri. While service was fantastic and quality of the fish was great, the rice missed the mark. When it comes Nigiri, the rice is just as if not more important than the protein. The sushi rice was unfortunately on the cold side and not seasoned. If you enjoy rolls and other dishes, Otoro would likely do very well with these but the Nigiri was lacking. read more

3rd visit last night, so I can write a review with a little confidence that it will be accurate. Once again, great fish and service. One of the few places in Western Broward with quality fish. The otoro and hamachi are the stars. Start with spicy edemame and a salad and then dig into the sashimi. Never have tried anything other than the sushi and sashimi. Nice pours of saki. Will you pay more for the quality, yes. Well worth it to savor the buttery fish. Will be back there soon. read more

Otoro - Japanese deep water oyster with otoro and mirin. Fantastic - Sushi Bars Near Me - Plantation, Florida

This last visit was my 3rd or 4th visit. Even though I have enjoyed the food every time, I sometimes forget they are there. They are in the middle of a strip mall and located by some of my favorites but we don't head to this plaza often. Anyway - we were looking for a place to eat near our hair dresser and we didn't want pizza. We decided to introduce Otoro to our daughter. She is just starting to like sushi and although she was apprehensive with what I ordered she was happy that they made her a salmon skin roll (we always add cream cheese and for the first time ever you could see the cream cheese - she said it was her new favorite place to go). Salmon skin rolls are not on the menu but they did make it for her and it was DELICIOUS! We also ordered the fried asparagus. My daughter tried asparagus for the first time there and loved it. It isn't heavily battered and it was perfectly cooked. We also had a tempura prawn roll, g14 and some spicy edamame- which my husband ate. It was too spicy for us. My husband had a noodle dish with chicken which he liked. Service as usual was wonderful and friendly. The restaurant was clean and we didn't feel rushed or feel like we wouldn't make our appointments as timing of the food was perfect. Looking forward to our next trip! read more

I think this place might simply not be a choice of mine but others could have a different experience. The staff is extremely friendly. They were able to sit me down on a Friday night. It was a little packed for the amount of space there is which is expected for a Friday night. The service was a bit slow since it was pretty packed. I only ordered an appetizer and left after. Order: O Tartar 3/5 * the portion was small which is okay and the taste was okay as well. Overall, the place was okay. I didn't stay long because it was so busy. I do however really appreciate the nice staff. read more

Every city needs local spots that get it right. The atmosphere is casual, service spot on, food executed flawless. Staff members made a point to seek our table out and welcome us. You don't always get that in south Florida. The coconut soup is the perfect size to start things off. I recommend everything we had, the soup and the scallop handroll with caviar stood out. I would try both your first time in. They have an omakase menu that we'll be trying soon. Lucky to have a spot like this less than a mile away. It would be worth the drive if it were further though. read more

Another stop on my journey of finding delicious local eats near my new South Florida home...all I can say is... RUN DO NOT WALK. This place from the appetizers to the desserts were AMAZING. Now I will say that a roll here and there that I've had were not always my favorite, but they weren't bad. That being said here are my top favs: Bang Bang noodles - I do not know why or how, but these semi spicy noods were delicious. Little bits of meat in a delicious savory/sweet/spicy sauce, I get it every time. Scratch Dumplings - these suckers are LOADED and have so much flavor, I cannot get enough, worth every penny. Lychee Martini- reminds me of the days when I lived on a Caribbean island and my favorite restaurant used to serve these, the taste is almost identical and the lychee it comes with... FAB. LOVE IT. Sushi/Sashimi - uhhhh-mazing! So fresh, buttery, soft, GREAT FLAVOR. The salmon just melts in your mouth. Favorite sushi place so far! I just wish they had more variety of rolls! UBE FLAN - literally the greatest dessert I've ever had. I NEVER order dessert, but I took a chance here and I was not disappointed AT ALL. This thing was soft, light, the ube flavor was incredible, creamy, decadent. Can I use any more descriptors?? Probably, but you have to order this next time you come in. I promise, ITS DELICIOUS. The place itself is beautifully decorated, the service is always 5 stars. I bring everyone I know to this place, when I find something I like, I have to share it with the world....so here you go fellow yelpers. TRY. THIS. PLACE. and order the Ube flan. read more

I've been one too many times and it is a great addition to the Plantation area. You don't have to drive to FTL to get quality sushi and an omakase experience. The service is good the food is good and a great quick date night option. It's usually packed and a wait is inevitable but if you're walking in, then you should expect a wait. The O-toro chips. The specialty nigiris are my go tos. I hardly ever order the plated dinner options so, I can't comment but the rolls are average but to fulfill a sushi date night close to home it's a green check in my book. read more

So wonderful!! Perfect first stop in Florida. The seaweed salad and tempura prawns were out of the world.

Their service is really great. I have heard this crew sing happy birthday and it silenced the entire restaurant because it sounded phenomenal. The fish is incredibly fresh. We come here for the sashimi. It's honestly the best sashimi in the area. The cabernet I'd always fresh. The cocktails are refreshing and really good. It's typically pretty calm on a Sunday afternoon. The bar area is great for fast drinks. Overall, you can't go wrong with bringing a date or your family. read more

Firstly, the service is great, albeit a little slow. I went here on a Sunday afternoon and there were two other tables and I was eating by myself. I got water immediately but there wasn't another server to take my order for at least another 10 mins. Which, for me, is fine. I wasn't in a rush, but keep this in mind for yourself. The menu options are not for the sushi elite. There are some great cuts of fish and everything is super fresh but most rolls are fried and more for the beginner sushi goer or the sushi goer who is not as experienced or daring. The cuts of sashimi themselves though are so fresh and so delicious. If you're ready to splurge, go ham on their otoro and fatty cuts. Otherwise, I think this is a perfectly decent restaurant. Nice vibes, but quite loud once folks get going in there. read more

Great local spot for Asian eats or sushi. Was here about a year ago when they first opened and ordered from their "Kitchen" menu. A few days ago came back and ordered from their sushi menu. I have to say a year later the ambience, food and service was consistent. It's located in a plaza with ample parking. It's bright and clean with a tasteful Asian decor. Plenty of indoor seating. You can also opt to eat at the bar or sushi bar. I very much enjoyed their eats from both their kitchen & sushi menu. Would definitely return for dine in or take out. read more

**Vegetarian Friendly** I was excited to try this place based on the number of positive reviews - but was skeptical from a vegetarian perspective. For a sushi spot that has 20+ sushi options, and only one veggie option, that's a thumbs down to me. I understand sushi is made with fish...but something exciting beyond an Avocado Roll would diversify their menu. The Avocado Roll was your run of the mill avocado roll. The Brussel Sprouts were burnt and soaked in oil. The Veggie Dumplings were soggy and cold. The Bang Bang Noodles are tasty if you enjoy a heavy peanut flavor sauce. Personally, as a vegetarian/vegan, you can make do for the night, but I would never select this as my first choice for a night out. read more

A refreshing view as soon as you walk in. They did a wonderful job designing the restaurant and bar. Love being able to see sushi being made from being seated anywhere inside. Easy to find parking and they do have a few outdoor tables as well. Also got seated super fast on a Saturday night. I started out with a lemon drop sake cocktail. The sake was a great pairing to the acidic lemon and sweet sugar. I was amazed that it even had sake in it but you can taste it after a few sips. Absolutely refreshing and I definitely could have had a few. Loved the sashimi as a starter. The eel just made me so happy as it melted in my mouth while being topped with eel sauce. My boyfriend loved the tuna and enjoyed the yellowtail as well. I'm not a fan of yellowtail but it did look good. If you don't know what stir fry to get, please go for the sweet chili karaage chicken. We devoured it so fast with nothing left. The house-made sweet chili scallion MADE the dish. So good. You won't be disappointed. Worth it!! read more

I ordered today one order of fried rice with chicken, one crispy Brussels sprouts, and one order of pepper steak to pick up and bring to a friend who had surgery yesterday. I was very embarrassed when she opened up the containers and there was so little amount of food inside. I paid $20 for the pepper steak and there was less than a cup of food in the container. The amount of rice was ok, the sprouts were also almost invisible. I know things are expensive. I don't mind the prices, just fill up the containers and don't fool your customers because then they won't return... read more
