Oto Sushi

"Very nice and cozy dinning room with a sushi bar. Service was flawless. Menu was nice and all the rolls we ordered came out quick and looked BEAUTIFUL. My only complaint is the dishes lacked that umami flavor I really enjoy with Sushi and other Japanese dishes. Maybe I'm being picky, but there was a brown sauce that was poured on 4 of the 5 rolls we ordered that was extremely sweet. (I want to say it was Unagi but it was so sweet I wasn't sure) My favorite roll is typically "the Dragon roll" or Eel with Unagi and fish, I typically get one almost every time I go for sushi. I was shocked at how sweet it was, almost like they had used Oysters sauce in place of the Unagi. The first few bites were delicious but the sweetness kept building and eventually made the rolls sort of a chore to finish. I typically like more Salty, bold, Umami "yummy" flavored rolls so I was disappointed with these as I had to supplement every bite with left over gyoza sauce and the table soy sauce. My pallet is obviously not the final say in flavor but I would only recommend the Sushi Rolls if you like them in the sweeter side. We ordered Gyoza (phenomenal filling and the sauce was perfect) Fire starter roll (the best one that tastes the most like clean fish sushi) Dragon roll (way to sweet) Crunchy roll (way to sweet) Salmon king roll (2nd best of the list) Spider roll (extremely bland unfortunately) Mizo soup was also very tasty. Over all it was still a delicious lunch, just a little to sweet for my preference."

"Oto Sushi is my new go-to in Kirkland! It's conveniently near Juanita Park with easy parking. They do lunch and dinner, offering everything from sushi to comfort grub like rice bowls. Inside, it's chill with plenty of seats – never had to wait, even during peak times. The service rocks; they bring out drinks and edamame right away, a cool touch. Lunch is our vibe for the wallet, but dinner has more choices. Fish isn't super fancy, but it beats conveyor belt joints or places in the same price zone. The salmon passes our taste test. Love that they don't overload the nigiri with rice, letting the fish shine. Soy sauce isn't crazy salty, and the free miso soup has a sweet kick. Rolls come in different price ranges, and they're worth it. Our top pick is the King Salmon roll. They're quick with the food – no long waits. We usually drop around $20 per person for lunch. Overall, Oto Sushi nails it with a sweet location, reasonable prices, a mix of options, and tasty bites. Perfect for a laid-back sushi fix!"

"First time trying blue fin tuna and they hit it out of the park! Exceptional service, fantastic rolls, and all for an extremely justified price. Would absolutely recommend the fire starter roll for your spicy tuna and blue fin tuna fix!"

"Holy cow... This was amazing. This is not a fancy restaurant. Everything is super basic, everything except the food! It's a bit of a wait, but everything was so fresh, and the service was awesome. I would recommend their 911 roll, as well as their chicken stir-fry udon."

"We love the Oto Sushi in Redmond and we’ve been going there quite often. This time we were in the area and decide to eat here, thinking it would have similar quality. But it was disappointing. The chicken karaage was dry, the batter tasted like dust. The ikura nigiri was quite fresh but somehow bland. The spicy tuna roll was just bland, no flavor compared to what we have at the Redmond branch; the sushi rice was dry, not stick together. It’s really not a good sign that we had food left over and didn’t want to box it to go."
