OTARU Japanese Restaurant Pittsburgh offers a memorable omakase experience with fresh fish flown in daily from Japan. The restaurant boasts a great view of the city, making it a popular spot for enjoying the scenery. The food is of good quality and comes in sizeable pieces, with highlights such as the Blue Fin Tuna, roasted salmon entree, and the Tiramisu, which is considered one of the best. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, with servers like Noah providing excellent guidance through the menu and answering questions about sushi and sake. While the view adds to the appeal, some guests noted that the windows were dirty where they sat, and the overall experience can feel less personalized and high-scale at times. The atmosphere might lack a bit of excitement, and the hostess could seem less welcoming, but the food and service generally receive positive feedback. The restaurant is recommended for a pleasant culinary journey, especially for those seeking good food, nice views, and attentive service. Many guests plan to return for another visit.
