Hubba hubba yum yumWe had an amazing sushi dining experience last night .. Fresh fish is key.. We enjoyed several of their delicious rolls : the Laguna heat roll (not enough heat )the crab roll. We had my favorite dish of the evening the smoked crispy, octopus. We had the yellowtail Hamachi, a very flavorful bottle of junemai sake that was crisp and delicious. This restaurant opened in October. I really hope that they stay so that we can enjoy the fresh fish. The ambience the music and I love the little fireplace in the front parking was easy. They said they will be possibly possibly adding a patio if they can at some point to sit outside they do have upstairs dining as well not dog friendly, but that's OK.

I recently visited the new sushi spot in Laguna Beach, and I'm already planning my next trip back! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was perfect--cozy yet chic. A really great remodel from past restaurants that were once there. Speaking of which, being a Laguna native, this location has always been special. From Sorrento Grill to 370 Common, I have always loved this space and glad to see it filled once again. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish I tried was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The tempura mushrooms was a standout, and the spinach salad reminded me of my grandmothers, being that I'm of Japanese descent. I will be back for the sushi options, as for this particular night my friend and I wanted to try all the small plates. Their sake list is top-notch! They have a wide variety, ranging from smooth, light sakes to more robust and complex options, so there's something for every palate. I highly recommend asking for a sake pairing with your meal as we did--totally enhances the experience.The best part, though, was the service. Jackson at the bar went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His knowledge of both the food and the sake made choosing a drink and dish easy, and his friendly personality really elevated the entire experience.This place is definitely a new favorite in Laguna Beach. With so many that have sadly come and gone, I am excited to see the early and sure to be lasting success of OTO. So, whether you're a sushi lover or even looking for a great dish aside from fish, with fantastic service, this restaurant is a must-try!

My husband and I went for a date night! Fish is HIGH, HIGH quality, dare I say... the best I've had in south county. It's very rare that you walk away from a restaurant and EVERY single item you order is a 10/10 ball hit out of the park but that's what I feel like walking out of Oto. Absolutely delicious .Atmosphere is vibey, moody and comfortable. Gavin recommended some exceptional dishes for us (some were part of the new menu items and ended up being our favorites) Anthony, our waiter, was exceptional with service -- attentive, quick and kind. He had great knowledge of the menu :) I wish I took photos of everything but this is what we ordered and I have not a single note or regret :- steelhead carpaccio with uni butter- Yuzu truffled hamachi (my personal favorite)- Shrimp tempura- Chicken karaage- Salmon sashimi- Tuna sashimi- Shishito sticks- Scallop sticks- Black cod stick- Ember kissed albacore (my husbands favorite)- Laguna Heat Roll- Japanese CheescakeWe've already let all our people know that they have to try out this restaurant with us and we will most definitely be back really, really soon because there's a ton of other items we can't wait to try!

4.5 Stars for OTO Sushi. I dined with friends at OTO in December. We had appetizers, sushi, sushi rolls, and dessert. The tempura was flaky and scrumptious, as was the chicken karaage. The dill miso aioli that accompanied the chicken karaage made me very happy, as I love anything with dill! A friend tried the black cod and gave it rave reviews. I really enjoyed the sea bream sushi, especially with the accompanying yuzu and shiso flavors. We ordered a number of different rolls--the Nikko Groove, the Fuji Silk, the Eternal Stream and the Laguna Heat-- and found all of them to be fresh and delicious, with innovative combinations. I especially loved the Fuji Silk - the pickled apples were a nice surprise. Service was attentive and friendly, and I really look forward to eating here regularly, in house or takeout!

Amazing sushi. Came here on a Sunday right at open, just in time for happy hour. Annie was awesome and recommended the happy hour hand roll of the day. Phenomenal roll. We had to order a second round. Was our first time here and won't be the last. Restaurant is very nice and well put together
