Otaru Sushi - New Haven

First time at Otaru and it was a great experience. Very authentic sushi experience. Probably some of the highest quality fish in the area. If you really love sushi then Otaru is a must try for you. If you’re looking for that all you can eat assembly line sushi, then head back to Sushi Palace.

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!

We had a really fun time at Otaru. It’s a small place. They keep the door locked and let customers in as they arrive. I had the omakase. $108 and a lot of fun! The fish was delicious and I absolutely loved trying everything. The waitress was extremely knowledgeable. She described each dish or piece, told me how to eat it and what order to eat it in. If you like trying interesting sushi I would highly recommend! The toro with gold and caviar was my favorite piece hands down!The rest of my party ordered off the menu and enjoyed their dinner too. We finished up with a piece of wagu that was phenomenal!

The omakase is fantastic. This is easily the best sushi I’ve had in CT, and was even better than some of the more expensive NYC places we’ve been to. Sitting at the bar is fun also, watching the chefs carefully prepare each piece was mesmerizing. Can’t wait to go back. Also, parking is validated in temple garage.Food: 5/5

If you want to sit back and let the chef blow you away from his amazing creations, flown in from Japan three times a week, this is the place and the omakase menu is for you. My two visits each had completely different preparations. A great place to impress clients. The exterior hides the gem inside.
