Our first visit to Otsu and we were delighted! Having moved here in late summer from Dallas, we've tried a few sushi places. For the most part, although not terrible, most of the places we've tried were okay at best. Otsu was such a breath of fresh air! Staff were so friendly and very responsive ... the fish was FRESH and so delicious! We visited on New Year's Eve and the store was busy ... maybe one empty table and only a couple of empty chairs at the sushi bar. Already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend if you've not been yet!

"Fresh Sushi, Great Flavors, Minor Availability Issue"Otsu Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar serves up some truly impressive sushi! The fish was fresh, the flavors were spot on, and the presentation was excellent. It's clear they take pride in the quality of their food, and I'd highly recommend it to any sushi lover.The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they were out of the majority of soups during my visit. It was a bit disappointing since I was looking forward to pairing my sushi with a warm bowl of miso or another classic option.Overall, the food and service were great, and I'll definitely be back. Hopefully, next time the soup menu will be fully stocked to complete an otherwise fantastic dining experience!

This is the 3rd sushi place that I try in San Marcos and it's hands down the best one so far. Incredible value for the quality of food. FOOD: Pretty much everything I ate was awesome. The sushi platter (5/5) was a great deal at $26 and the nigiri was delicious and fresh. The cucumber rolls were incredible. My only complain with this dish would be that the California roll was a bit skimpy on the crab meat. Also ordered the Brooklyn roll (5/5) which was also amazing. The white tuna on top was seared and inside there was crawfish meat... the whole roll was just so tasty. Also tried the Arctic roll (4/5) which was interesting. Like a Philly but with sweet chili sauce on top. Also tried the Cowboy roll (5/5) which was also a great choice. Even their egg drop soup (4/5) was good!SERVICE: Waiter was great and had many recommendations for the sushi rolls. LOCATION: In a bit of an isolated area but great parking all around. NOTEWORTHY: Definitely a place that I intend to go back to. Sushi seemed authentic, many creative rolls, and everyone in my party was happy with their food (ramen and udon). Better than Hokkaido across the street in my opinion!

I love sushi and have eaten sushi in many different places, including Japan. This place has the best sushi I've eaten outside of Japan! The salmon was the best salmon I've ever eaten and the smoked tuna was so good! The restaurant is small and inviting. The waiter was so nice and so helpful. I don't know if I've ever had a more helpful wait person. My date had never eaten sushi before but wanted to try some and the waiter gave her great advice and she loved the sushi he helped her pick. We also had teriyaki beef that was amazing and some tempura vegetables that were very good. The mango mochi for desert was great as well . I can't say enough about how amazing this restaurant was.

We were meeting family after months, and went to the closest sushi place to us. We got their on time at 7 pm, and we should have picked up on their poor service right when they took forever to get our drink and food order in. But we were super excited to be with family and did not get worried.. when we realized it was an hour in and they still did not serve us our edamame.. we reminded someone then they brought it in.. then the rest of the food was an hour later. At 2 hour mark we left. With half our order delivered, but every time they took it to the table next to us, before realizing they had their order wrong. We went to In and Out and bought our young niece a burger.. since they delivered her avocado sushi roll and the avocado was hard. Will not recommend this place to anyone. Poor service. Poor food quality.

The food is so good! My boyfriend says it's the best fried rice he has had in the US! Fried cheese cake is so yummy as well.
