“ I dine in for lunch every once in a while and always come back for the salmon dinner (not on the lunch menu, but I order it every time). No frills restaurant serving up great rolls and even better sashimi! Service is always extremely attentive and you get complimentary edamame upon seating. Hole in the wall vibe but don't underestimate this spot! ”

“ * Vegetarian food review only * Our first experience at this place, and of trying sushi in Kirkland. It was very very good. Tried 2 different sushi. The quality is great, flavors are rich, and the sushi is well made. I wish there were more rolls. It was quite filling too! I definitely would like to come here again! Don't remember the names of the ones we tried but we tried the 2 most fancy vegan ones. Service- good Ambiance- very good Being a vegetarian you hardly find a few places that have veggie options for a sushi. But I love the sushi concept, so I always look for vegan/vegetarian sushi options around me. And I loved this one! ”

“ My go to spot on the east side! Both Kirkland and Redmond locations are great. Fish has always tasted fresh! My favorite roll is the fire starter roll. The sauce you dip it in is one of the best tasting things I've ever had. I seriously ask my husband if we can get takeout from here every week. I always get that with maybe a sea snake or deluxe dragon roll and their beef yaki udon. Service is super quick and efficient! They take your order promptly, drop food off quickly, buss and refill waters throughout the meal as well. I've never been disappointed with service or food here. Restaurant is quaint and cozy. Not that big and can get busy during dinner services but usually don't have that much of a problem getting seated right away. ”

“ Seated quickly even though it was prime time: 6:30. Despite the pretty full restaurant service was swift. Ordered the omakase and some items off the special menu, including baked mussels and of course: Ikura, my son's favorite. Complementary edamame. Sushi actually melted in your mouth deliciously indicating the chefs took considerable care in preparing of each piece. Atmosphere was energetic but quite enough for us to hear each other talk and have a good conversation. Tab came out to $88 for the two of us. Parking is free in a lot just outside the restaurant. ”

“ Absolutely always love coming to Oto when i'm having a sushi craving! The people are always nice, the quality of fish as well as speed of service is always very good! I feel like for the portion size and price it's perfect! 10/10 always recommend this place :) Also if you're dining in they always give a complementary bowl of edamame. ”

“ We've been coming here on and off for a few years now. Perks: complimentary bowl of salted edamame upon being seated, the sunomono (cuke salad) is amazing, miso good, great service, fast service, rolls good! Wishes: we asked to start with the gyoza, but received after our rolls, udon forgettable (egg over cooked, chicken tasteless, floating cabbage in soup felt like lettuce) and need to dust above sushi bar. ”

“ Best sushi rolls in Kirkland. I love the sashimi and I love all the different types of rolls they have. Super good. Great service too. One of my go to sushi restaurants in Kirkland. And it is pretty popular too in the Juanita area ”

“ Oto in Kirkland is a small place with tables and seats along a small sushi bar. It has a wide variety of items on their menu that include sushi, sashimi, and cooked dishes like fried rice, karaage, noodles, and other things. The Friday night we went it was about 3/4 full and had regular table turnover. They bring edamame (cold) to the table and miso came with our meals. Rolls are a very generous portion and the sushi was fresh tasting. ”

“ I'm not sure why this place isn't better rated. I recently started working nearby and Oto has become one of my go to lunch spots. They have HH pricing during lunch until 5pm I believe where you can literally get a sushi combo with a roll + 6 pieces of nigiri for $19.95. Living in Seattle, the nigiri alone would be $19.95! They have apps and rolls ranging from about $5 up to $15. Then combos for $20. Entree prices all around $15 as well. It feels like a steal. The quality of the fish has all been great as well. I might have a few knocks on what can sometimes feel like rushed service but during lunch hour, I'm also in a rush so haven't really minded. Let's just say they are very efficient and run a brisk in/out business. ”
