Otaru Sushi Bar

Amazing omakase for the price! It ended up being about $140 a person after ordering a bottle of sake. The pieces were all very unique, including uni, scallop, king salmon, fatty tuna, and one tomato sauce one that was amazing. The pieces come out fairly quick and are made in front of you. It's a very intimate feeling omakase, highly recommend for an upscale experience for 2!

Best sushi in the state, Omakase is excellent and Moore recently. Our trip for an à la carte dinner was just as good couldn’t recommend any other place. It’s expensive but 100% worth it.

The ABSOLUTE BEST omakase not only in CT but arguably the US. I live in New York City and *constantly* drive all the way to New Haven just for this. Every place I've been to in New Jersey and NYC (too many to count) has not come close in terms of quality. Sunny and Kathy are the best hosts you could ask for. Such an amazing experience - if you are in the area, and even if you're not, Otaru is unmatched and can't miss. Would give 6 stars if I could!

Absolutely terrible rude hostess denied me the opportunity to patronize this restaurant. I was highly disappointed after fighting traffic from HPN airport and stopping downtown New Haven to charge my vehicle. I ventured past homeless camps being set up right outside the front door to find the door locked at 5:30 pm. I didn't give up I bravely waited until the chef saw me and sent the hostess to the door. They were not at capacity, the place had four customers dining in. There were lots of open tables. I asked if I could make a reservation or dine in while my car was charging. The nasty tempered hostess angrily replied there is a $40 minimum. I said that was fine with me and I even said I have cash so that's no problem. I felt the need to show her my hospital id and shared I work 2 blocks a

Best sushi in New Haven! It’s my first time here. We reserved seats for Omakase. It’s so good, every piece is so good and different. I am so regretful that I didn’t come to this place earlier. Will definitely come back.
