Otoko Sushi

Great experience! Delicious broth for the ramen! Great sushi! Our server (never got her name, (but maybe Latina with blonde highlights), was outstanding. She recognized a few things my girlfriend and I mentioned in conversation with each other and used the cues to provide an excellent, hospitable experience. Both our ramen came without mushrooms (I'm allergic, but my girlfriend said mushrooms were fine in her bowl), and our server showed up two minutes later with fresh mushrooms! My girlfriend declined extra tea because the current tea was too hot to drink already. When we were halfway through our teas after they cooled down, our server placed a glass of cold water on the table just before the other server started next rounds of tea refreshments. It was PERFECTLY executed. Since both of us work in the hotel/hospitality sector, we were extremely impressed by our server's attention to cues and her anticipatory skills. Well done!!! We had a great time! For how often we stay in San Carlos at our favorite hotel, we never knew this existed until tonight. We. Will. Be. Back.Thank you Otoko

Good place to have japanese cuisine. This place is good for dining with friends or families. There are plenty options on the menu. There is also many choices of sushi roll option. The owner is also the sushi chef and very friendly. We have been visiting couple times and love the food and the company. The sashimi is fresh and the cut is good size. I also like the shrimp tempura. That is one of my favorite. The spicy tuna roll is yummy . The beef teriyaki is tender and the sauce is good. Overall it was satisying and we got home happy.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside- it's right next to Mendocino farms, an American bar& grill and a 5 guys but it's actually very nicely decorated inside. The lighting is a bit dim and romantic and they have a large TV with football on. The servers are attentive and the food comes out quickly. The food is average, nothing crazy but it's decent. The fish is pretty fresh. I will say, for $20 I was expecting a bit more fatty tuna on the roll. They also sold Kumamoto oyster for $4/oyster and Santa Barbara Uni Nigiri for $25/2 pieces which is pretty average. Chirachi don had kind of small pieces and came with a good miso soup.

Contrary to the restaurant rating, my experience was pretty decent. Will this be your life changing go-to number #1 sushi spot? Probably not. Will you be able to conveniently satisfy your sushi craving? Yes.We came in as a large group around 12 PM. I enjoyed the complimentary warm tea they gave us to start off. The lunch bento boxes are popular and satisfying. For a mid-sized group, the party platters are a good option too. The party-platter comes with standard rolls (shrimp tempura, tuna, california etc.) and the small is good for ~4 people. They also have a lot of vegetarian options and a lot of rolls to choose from in general. Fish is fresh. Efficient and kind service and overall a good pick especially for a casual work lunch.

I highly recommend if you are in the Redwood Shores/Redwood City/San Carlos/San Mateo area(s) and looking for Sushi, come here!I prefer to support local family owned businesses and both Victor and his wife Queenie create a wonderful customer friendly experience in addition to providing excellent Sushi.Highlight the Kumamoto Oysters (fresh) and the Redwood Shores roll, Ahh Mazing!In addition, the entire staff are absolutely wonderful.You won't go wrong.

Sushi and appetizers are solid. My go-to place when I want something easy, close with little or no wait. The service is TOPS. Our waiter (his name is Stone) is phenomenal. Always smiling, remembers our orders from the previous visit, quick to respond to any requests. LOVE eating there when he is there.This is out go-to place. Never had a bad experience here!

This place is very convenient if you work in the area. It has ample parking too. The sushi was pretty good, nothing to hit home about though. Decent option if you're craving sushi and you're nearby

Found this place since we had a medical appointment nearby. Nice decor and seating is quite limited space. Sushi was freshly made, ordered bento boxes(beef, soup, tempura and salad). Pricing is reasonable for it's nice quality. Will make this a go to Japanese restaraunt if in the neighborhood again.

The entire experience was wonderful, fast service and great quality sushi! Location is perfect!
