Share your opinion about OTARU Japanese Restaurant Pittsburgh
Otaru is one of the high-end restaurant in Pittsburgh area. The sushi and sashimi that they use are very fresh and flavorful. To our surprise, the dishes that hits the spot was the tomato marinade with honey lemon, and the soft shell crab with yuzu mustard don. The only dishes that was not too impressive was the dessert. Overall, drinks are good, the view is great and the service is good. Also I would say is the place is a little small so it does get loud when crowded.
Hands down best Japanese food in Pittsburgh with one of the best views of the city
My friend and I came in and had the best experience!! Anthony was the best server and we loved the treasure box! Everyone should definitely check this place out!
