Otaru Sushi Bar offers a high-end sushi experience in a small, clean space in downtown New Haven. The restaurant is known for its creative and fresh dishes, with the sushi being of excellent quality. The meal typically costs around $105 per omakase, which includes a variety of dishes like scallops with smoked sea salt, fish with spicy tomato salsa, and tempura maitaki. The chefs from behind the sushi bar bring out the plates and explain each dish, adding to the experience. The service is fast and friendly, and reservations for the sushi bar are recommended as walk-ins are limited. The atmosphere feels like an oasis, and many consider it the best sushi spot in New Haven, with some saying it is the best in Connecticut and possibly the US. The restaurant is small but very well maintained, making it a perfect place for a special meal. Overall, Otaru Sushi Bar is highly praised for its fresh, creative sushi and outstanding service.
