“ The sushi here was exquisite! This has to be the best & freshest sushi I’ve ever had. The server here was very welcoming and she was very nice. The food came out fast and was very delicious. My taste buds were in heaven with chefs Sunny’s creations. The atmposphere was very calm and very pleasant. If you are a sushi fanatic I highly recommended giving Otaru sushi a try, chef sunny will not Disappoint you. ”
“ Absolutely amazing. Omakase was very impressive. One of the first pieces of mackerel immediately blew my socks off. The o toro was to die for. Oysters were superb. Didn't catch where they were from. Loved the hand roll towards the end and the pickled sweet tomato was a yummy finish. Left more full than expected. If you were trying to figure out if the omakase is worth the money it is. The salmon was amazing and I do not like salmon. ”
“ INDESCRIBABLE!!! We did the classic 16 piece omakase, and it was phenomenal! If you are looking for a sushi of the highest quality, don’t look any further! So much better than many other famous NYC sushi places without a doubt! ”
“ My friends and I were really craving sushi last night, and one of our classmates recommended Otaru Sushi, so we decided to check it out. Oh my goodness, you will not believe the rich burst of explosion in your mouth of such a juicy exquisite taste!! Honestly, words cannot even describe how fresh and succulent the fish is. The service was also superb; the waiter was so nice and the food came out very fast. Purely a hidden gem in New Haven, two thumbs up! ”
“ My wife and I went last night for the omakase. It was outstanding. I was grinning ear to ear throughout the entire meal as each piece was more delicious than the next. It is the best sushi I’ve ever had and certainly the best in the state of Connecticut. We cannot wait to come again, it was such a pleasure visiting. ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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. ”
“ AMAZING!!! I was there on Friday for Omakase and it was beyond great! The chef that served us was very professional. Besides the food, they are also doing very well at keeping things clean and having clear glass/plastic up to separate each sections. Would definitely go again!! ”
