I dare you to find me a better sushi place than Otoro. I highly recommend the place. The quality of the food, service and ambiance is unmatched!
I personally recommend the edamame, the Yellowtail roll, and the King Salmon nigiri!
I'll be back here for more. I am here a few times a month

I don’t normally leave reviews, but Otoro was so disappointing that I feel obligated to warn others. My fish came out dry with zero seasoning. For a place that markets itself as an unforgettable dining experience, that’s inexcusable. The sushi was somehow worse. The fish tasted like it had been sitting out all day, with a strange odor that made it hard to eat. The rice was hard and clearly not fresh. It felt like they were trying to do too many things at once and failing at all of them. Service was just as bad. Our waiter disappeared for long stretches, messed up the drink order twice, and when we politely asked about the fish being dry, the manager shrugged and said, “That’s how our chef makes it.” Unbelievable. On top of that, the atmosphere didn’t match the price point at all. Sticky tables, dirty glasses, and loud music made it feel more like a dive bar than a “fine dining” restaurant.

Fresh, delicious sushi and super friendly staff! Everything we ordered was so tasty, and the fish was really fresh. The Double Blue Fin roll was absolutely amazing—definitely a must-try. Became my usual sushi spot!

Decided to go to Otoro on a Sunday night to try some new Japanese food. We ordered the kani salad, bluefin tuna tartare, black cod sear roll, volcano roll, and some beet dish I forget the name of.
We were greeted almost immediately by a girl with curly hair and she took care of us for the night. She was super sweet and attentive, even spent a couple minutes giving us recommendations which we ended up ordering. All her suggestions were great! She suggested the tartare and two rolls. And my friend and I decided to order the kani salad which was dry and unbalanced. It said it comes with a mayo dressing but it was so so dry. And the beet dish was just unassuming, it was decent but maybe just something the both of us didn’t like.
The vibes were good, interior was nice and the tables were nicely set up. Although, my friend and I didn’t have a great time because of the couple next to us. We had ordered some items before and then ordered again after the couple sat down, so I think they assumed they placed their orders first but our food was coming out before theirs. They then spent the next 10 minutes asking every worker to check on their order, even though food takes time to make… regardless if it’s raw or cooked or whatever. Mind you, they ordered 2 minutes before this. The gentleman spent the rest of the night complaining about the service and how the servers are all messing up and how the interior is cheap, etc. My friend and I tried to finish our food asap so we didn’t have to hear this anymore. There’s room of critiquing but the way he was speaking sounded so entitled and it left a bad taste in our mouths.
Another thing, this place is expensive! I don’t know if it’s cause of the neighborhood or where the fish is sourced but most areas in Queens that are the same standard of food that this was, the bill is never over $100. The tab was around $170 without tip. We don’t mind paying for food that’s expensive but the plates were all small and it just didn’t feel worth it to us.

Food was incredible. It's a gem spot that I go regularly now. Omakase is a highlight but if you don't want their 15 course chef tasting, they have great options from the kitchen. Their fish is so fresh. Trust me don't go anywhere else for sushi.
We always have a great experience at otoro. The sushi is fresh and flavorful. The service is attentive and friendly. Try the glazed donut for dessert. A great addition to Jamaica estates.

I’d rate this place a 6/10. The food at Otoro was genuinely great, especially considering it’s kosher sushi—the rolls were fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot in a way that’s hard to find with dietary restrictions. That said, the service was absolutely horrible and really dragged down the whole experience. Right from the start, our server didn’t even greet us properly; he just walked up to the table and bluntly asked, “Are you ready to order?” No hello, no menu explanation, nothing. When he finally took our order, he didn’t give a third of our group a chance to even mention drinks before abruptly walking away—it felt rushed and dismissive. The worst part was the wait: We placed our order around 8:45 PM, but our entrées didn’t arrive until 10:15 PM. That’s over an hour and a half! We flagged the server at 9:45 to check on it, and he said he’d look into it, but it still took another full half hour. When the food finally came, I asked the manager what happened, and he explained that the order somehow didn’t print in the kitchen. Despite this massive mix-up, the manager did try to make it right by promising to comp the entrées. However, when the check arrived, the entrées were still listed, plus an item we ordered but never actually received. The manager was nice about fixing the receipt and even threw in complimentary dessert, which was a thoughtful gesture. All in all, I’d go back only because the food was very good and I live very close by, but I really hope the service improves next time—otherwise, it might not be worth the hassle.
