My worst restaurant experience ever. The AC was off, the fire alarm was on for 5 minutes, all the customers had to go out in the middle of the dinning and wait outside.I ordered chicken udon, the server said they have beef udon, but she brought up tempura udon. I was talking with my mom and didn’t realize it until ate some of it. Then we called the server and she said they don’t have beef udon, but they can change to other food like Ramen, we agreed. Then, later she came and said the manager said she could only cancel the udon, no changing, since we already ate some of it. Anyway, I will never go to this restaurant again.

Stylish atmosphere but only decent food. Everything was lackluster and flavor was not great. Ordered the West Covina roll which is only a slightly dressed up salmon California roll. The premium sashimi platter had a decent assortment but the cuts of fish tasted cheap and not fresh. Chicken wing appetizer was dry and sauce was flavorless. The octopus tentacles special was also rubbery and flavorless.

I used to be very excited about Oto Oto. The vibe and taste was that of an izakaya in Japan. The quality of the good declined on recent visits, and the most recent one was horrible. Experience was particularly disappointing because I took a special guest to the meal. The tempura in particular was atrocious—clearly the oil in which it was fried was not hot enough. To add insult to injury, a deafening fire alarm (certainly un healthy for our four year old child) went off in the middle of our meal and stayed on for at least 10 minutes. We stood outside until it ended. Afterward, there was no apology and no offer of a discount or comp which would seem normal under the circumstances.

Love that this place is quality $$ late night and attentive. Fish is sold high quality and market values for sushi; great for special occasions. Our servers offered wonderful recommendations -- get the Caterpillar ? Roll and Omakasi Sashimi (decadent and worth sharing for 2 if you're not as hungry as I was)! We also got kurasawa (sake) and soft shell crab ? to start! The sauce for the crab was flavorful.Vegetarian options: The Green Village (or something along those lines) veggie roll was delicious. Great tempura prep and nice texture.

Food are a little basic and streamlined where you can get at any other Japanese restaurants. No eel and whiskey flight which were on menus we shall online that they dont have anymore. They say they are izakaya but their small plate and yakitoti selections are small.
They have many kinds of roll, wagyu roll was the best, other roll was just fine. Sashimi was fresh and good. Toriyaki was overcooked, actually all yaki was just ok, but I highly recommend yaki udon and salmon donabe, definitely will go again for their salmon donabe.

I can't more about this restaurant.... luv it? ! Awesome Happy Hours! Awesome people working there. AWESOME FOOD quality! The only drawback is diners with kids and having the volume on LOUD with their IPad .... children's entertainment program. We are all here for a wonderful dining experience. I feel this needs to be addressed by management.
