We had the most amazing meal there on Wednesday night! Everything was exceptional, especially the uni! The service was fantastic! We will be back!

This is a great hideaway Japanese restaurant. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. You step inside and it's like you are transported back to Japan. It brought back so many good memories of my visit to Japan. I got the Sukiyaki bowl. I have it every year on my birthday. It is getting harder to find restaurants that serve the dish as it is not a popular food. I am so happy to have found this place. I highly recommend Ronataya Oton for a great experience and meal. I am going to be visiting this place a lot more. As the food, staff, and atmosphere were all superb.

I have been thinking to try this restaurant out for a long time. And finally I made a phone call to book a reservation on Saturday night. It was so cool to sit in a private room, feeling like in Asia! We ordered two servings of sukiyaki, it was pretty authentic and delicious. The portion is good for two people, we order an appetizer and one udon noodle to put into the hotpot. The meat is a little bit too thick to my taste but all the others are nice. We might be back to try their uni items.

This is an authentic Japanese restaurant with really cute booths. Everything is good although I have to say the sushi and sashimi is a bit pricy.

This place was such a pleasant experience, the atmosphere was really nice. I felt like I was in Japan with the interior design. This place really cares about creating a nice clean atmosphere for their customers. Customer service was the best I could ask for, hostesses were kind and very helpful. The food was good and came out fast, we got the sukiyaki with udon noodles. Can't wait to try everything else on their menu. 10/10 would recommend to try this place instead of a regular chain.

Took me back to Japan instantly. The little alcove rooms where we got to sit no shoes, the friendly and amazing service from the three person troupe, down to the amazing food. If you want to step out of San Diego for a few hours and enjoy a really wonderful slice of Japanese dining, this is it.
If you are looking for truly authentic heartwarming and delicious Japanese food, then look no further. This place will remind you of home.The quality for both the hot dishes and the sushi was absolutely amazing. It’s hard to find a restaurant that does everything well- and this place does.The Unagi Gohan is deliciously sweet and the rice is smothered with the rich unagi flavor and is served with green tea that can be poured at the end. They also serve some pickles that help increase the acidity and counterbalance the sweetness of the Uunagi. If you pair this dish with other hot options like the Makarel or Tamago, it’s become a combination of pure umami.In the words of Arnold Schwarzzeneger:I’ll be back !

Not worth the money for average tasting food. Whoever does the booking of reservations over the phone needs to be changed out. He does not know what customer service is and even by japanese custom standards. For you to ask for rice for a hot pot is pretty low then charging you $3 for a small bowl. Jeez, a chinese restaurant gives you far more and charges half the price for rice. Then no refills on anything besides hot tea. No thanks

Made a reservation on Wednesday 10/25 via phone for Saturday 10/28 to celebrate my friend's birthday and they said we had no reservation when we came in.We came in at 5:30pm when they open. We asked for the reservation at 5:30pm on Wednesday! They said they still couldn't take us and argued with my friend.Really bad service and disappointing as I really wanted to try this place and it's my third time attempting to do so.Choose another restaurant I guess.. left a bad taste in our mouths and ruined our appetite.My friend was not happy at all.

One of my favorite authentic Japanese restaurants. Try something new everytime you come in, it was one of my favorite ways to treat my self after a long day at work. Never forget to have a glass of yuzu wine while you're at it!
