“First off, great staff!! They are very friendly, attentive, and accommodating.You are always greeted with a smile. The food is absolutely delicious. I always get at least 2 dozen raw oysters to start with a side of their cheesy grits, that taste like they came from my grandma's kitchen. I've been going there for years and have enjoyed every meal from sushi to steak, to smothered chicken to scallops. The food is phenomenal. Clearly the chefs take pride in every meal they prepared. Delicious food, portioned and priced right. The GBOH never disappoints. The backbone of the operation is Diane & Katie. They are always there and make you feel like family. I live in Florida and when I'm in South Carolina, after stopping to see family, my next stop is GBOH!!! LOVE IT!!“

“To Go Order (Door Dashed) I usually don’t leave reviews but I have to say, I throughly enjoyed every single bite of sushi tonight. I ordered two rolls, the Crazy California Roll and the Black Tiger Roll. It looked amazing and the price was very reasonable. I most definitely recommend.“

“Went here for first time in 20+ years. Was first place my late father took me for sushi after we moved to Greenville in 80s. Still amazing. We had a large party, and pretty sure we caused a few tables to leave from out conversations. But amazing food, service, and drinks. Eel is my favorite, and the hamachi was great too“

“They served me and my friends this weekend during southeast game exchange. I used to love joy of Tokyo when I frequently visited Greenville while dating my now wife. It's safe to say this place is still amazing. I had the teriyaki chicken and steak.“

“I moved into The McClaren apts. (awesome place) about 14 months ago and discovered Otto Izakaya early on. Only 2 blocks away for me. Otto is, and has been, my go to place, especially when friends, family or business friends are visiting. Not a sole I have introduced has ever had anything but praises for the experience. If we are a small group, I always encourage dining at the bar. I have no idea who will read this, but people buy from people; and people they enjoy interacting with. I would be totally remiss if I didn't specifically mention bar manager Matt and his team behind the bar. If Matt has ever met a stranger, I missed it, as he has the personality to balance the engagement with customers, while still providing excellent customer service. Also, everything I've tried off the menu is high-grade and fresh! That's a must for me. I'd be slack if I didn't mention the awesome hard working sushi chefs, who are always open to preparing a creation to suit YOUR palate and preferences. As to other regular customers, and just my observation, but like me, they appear to have found a home away from home; a place to be comfortable, chill and let the time spent make a bad day better. I almost never take the time to give a review and especially a compliment; as I sometimes look for the negatives, as it is always so easy to criticize. So, as a native Greenvillian and business (person); and someone who believes and enjoys a five ***** experience that is reasonably priced, give Otto Izakaya a try. Whether you live in the area, or are simply visiting, when you leave you will already be thinking about when you can do this again! If you enjoy an adult beverage, be sure and stop by the bar and ask for Matt, as this master mixologist will want to know exactly what you're looking for. If you read this review and haven't stopped by, you're in for an experience catered to the way you would most enjoy it. And ladies, as I have a daughter in college, so please know whether by yourself, or in a group, you're in a safe place without being hassled and you don't have to look over shoulder (unless there is a stud sitting behind you), because Matt and the supporting staff will have your back so you can relax and enjoy. If you have a chance to meet the owner, please do, as his passion and dedication for excellence in all aspects of the business is instantly captivating. Sorry for the length of this, I was on a roll! No "pun" intended! Give it a try real soon! M.P. 😎“

“My family and I just happened to wander into the front doors of this wonderful place and we were extremely pleased with prompt, friendly service, relatively affordable pricing (especially considering the area), and exceptionally fresh and wonderful food. The atmosphere was very upscale, but being casually dressed in blue jeans and t-shirts, we still felt very comfortable and welcome. I had the Hibachi Chicken Plate, and she had the Steak Hibachi. We split our Sushi: the “IBM Roll” and “BMW Roll” and words cannot describe how fresh and delectable everything tasted. We were astounded at the quality of food, the speed of service, the friendliness of service and it was like the cook was professionally-trained. Very nice place, if “taste” is what leads you to somewhere new. We loved it and will be back.“
“We came to this restaurant for dinner. This spot was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was a winning. The crew were very polite and we had a fantastic feeling. The meal was tasty. We enjoyed every moment and we shall absolutely come back again. Recommended.“

“Came here at 6:09pm told it was going to be 15 minutes. 50 minutes later got sat. Took 20 minutes for anyone to come to the table to get our order. And near 8:00pm still no food. 8:04 asked for the check got the food, rice significantly undercooked, chicken rubbery, over all terrible experience. People who came in after us were seated and got their food before us and left before we even got our food. Absolutely terrible service and terrible tasting food which is a shame because the past few times I came it was really good. This single experience was so bad I am not going back“

“Kanpai Of Tokyo - Greenville, SC has been a family tradition for birthday dinners for over 2 decades. This year as soon as we ordered I let them know that we some dietary restrictions (eggs for me, gluten for my young child). I told the server my daughter couldn’t have soy sauce thinking it would be easier than explaining gluten free/celiac. The server responded asking if she needed gluten free. When the chef came over he cleaned the grill and made my daughter’s food first to ensure there was no cross contamination. The server brought our salads out and the chef quickly stopped him from handing my daughter her salad with ginger dressing informing me that it had gluten in it and asking if ranch was ok instead. He realized after cooking her food that he had cracked an egg on the grill for my daughter’s food and apologized and cleaned the grill again before cooking my food. He also made sure to tell me which sauces contained gluten to keep my daughter safe. This was by far the most stellar service we have had in a restaurant since her celiac diagnosis and we will definitely be back“

“We took out 7 year old for his birthday dinner, the experience started off great. We showed up and we're seated on time, waitress came by and got drink orders and that's when the night slowed down. It took quite some time between ordering drinks and ordering food, the chef didn't do anything spectacular but the food tasted fine and he didn't take longer than the average. Between the chef starting and finishing our waited didn't come by one time so I was out of drink pretty much from start to finish of the cooking. When she did come by I ask for a refill and she went to get that and the checks. She came back by a few minutes later and didn't have my drink and the checks were all mixed up. After that I never saw her again, the manager(possibly owner) came by and said the checks were up front. She made it seem like that was normal but I've never been to a Japanese style restaurant where you doing get your checks at the table and have to go to the hostess stand to see them and pay. We didn't get a birthday song. And no drinks to go, thankfully we did get white sauce. I will be hesitant to go back.“
