This place was great! We had all sushi: amazon princess, hidden dragon, eel roll, Alaskan roll, and spicy tuna roll. My favorites were the spicy tuna and Amazon princess. They were perfect flavor and texture. Least favorite was hidden dragon because it was too much deep fried (for me). Sauces on top were great though. Service was great! We went on New Year's Eve - it was super busy but the service was great. Staff was hustling! If you are craving sushi and in Rochester, this is it!

Food 4*Ambiance 5*Service 5*Overall, 5*My wife and I have been to Ootori Sushi many times, so this review is pretty overdue. Every time we've gone, we've had good service and food. I've eaten a lot of the menu over time and like almost everything I've had.For our trip last night, shout out to our server Lillian for being awesome! She has made two of our dining experiences great so far. Cool server and really nice lady!Our favorite appetizer is the Agedashi Tofu! It's awesome because the Tofu comes in a sauce that's extremely delicious. And then from there, we ladel a little of the sauce into the sauce bowls to use it for sushi dipping.From there; we had four rolls. Spider Roll, an all-time favorite of mine and a sushi staple. (Soft shell crab for those that don't know) Mo Yasai, Just Awesome , and a Sweet Potato Roll were the other ones we got this time. All very delicious!

A wonderful and flavorful sushi experience - 4 stars.WHY OOTORI? My visit to Ootori was completely random. I drove 2 hours to Rochester to checkout a car listed on FB Marketplace. The car purchase was a disappointing failure. But my new sushi find was a success! They were the closest sushi joint to where I was car shopping...so that's where I ate dinner.DECOR: I was pleasantly surprised by the décor. From the outside, it looked like a little shoe box. But looks are deceiving. When I went inside, it was larger than I thought with tons of creative and beautiful Japanese themed accents (see photos). Note: The entryway has a couple of framed awards.FOOD: I ordered my usual tuna based sushi rolls. All of them were styles that I usually see described as "specialty" rolls. All three were excellent and bursting with bright, vibrant flavors. Speaking of bright, the visual presentation was vibrant and colorful too (see photos). "Thanks" to the 3 sushi dudes that were creating their art behind the sushi bar.SERVICE: The service was excellent. Shout out to Lilian who was wonderful...on top of everything, friendly, and a pleasure to chat with. BTW, I asked her about Rochester sushi joints, she said "hold on" and she came back to my table with the latest copy of Rochester Magazine. It happened to feature sushi restaurants and one of them was Ootori! I took their suggestion on the Volcano Roll!LOW CARBOHYDRATE: It's easy to eat low-carb, keto, or carnivore style at Ootori. I stuck with my usual tuna based sushi rolls with a moderate amount of rice and plant material. I avoid any selection with mountains of rice, puddles of noodles, added sugar, or anything that might hide highly processed vegetable seed oils. It keeps my blood sugar levels happy and it keeps my doctor happy.Thanks for a great visit, Ootori!- Maxx

What a wonderful variety of sushi options. Great for the vegan as well. Tried both their cooked roll and regular rolls, both of which were delicious. Service was top notch and frequently checked in to make sure everything was up to taste.

If you ever have never had halfway decent Asian food aka you've never lived in a city at any point you may enjoy this. However, having had many versions of these dishes now in my life, the takoyaki was undercooked and there was hardly any filling. Felt like I was eating a hushpuppy. The katsu rice bowl was disappointing and I'm almost certain I bit on an eggshell eating it. The katsu was soggy, very disappointing. The sushi was alright but the rice was actually a little crunchy. Just overall, wouldn't recommend.

1st time I've had Sushi in Rochester and am pleasantly surprised. Ootori is a nice addition to the city and offers an assortment of Japanese eats including typical street food style appetizers, sashimi, and rolls. There's also some sake and other drinks if you're looking to celebrate.Menu was straightforward and had no surprises. Prices are slightly higher than other places. We ordered a few rolls and takoyaki and were impressed. The food was made-to-order and was fresh and tasty. Service was prompt and attentive.Looking forward to coming back and trying the ramen and rice bowls.

We've gone here a lot and the past year the flavor has gone done. But what infuriates me the most is the hidden fees. We went a month ago and were happy that they removed their 3% service charge but what do they have instead? When you get your bill everything is marked up 4% which feels even shadier. Just print new menu's already and be done with it.
