    • Shaggy Dog Roll

    “Went here with my daughter who loves Japanese cuisine and the food was soooo good! The waitress was super nice and helpful throughout the visit. I had the orange chicken bowl which was super fresh. My daughter had the Chicken katsu ramen bowl with black garlic broth I believe. Very fresh! I also had a Brown Sugar milk tea with tapioca boba and it was one of the best I’ve had! The atmosphere is super cute and the music isn’t too loud which is great. Even if you don’t sit in to eat, get something to go!! You won’t regret it 🥰”

    “If you’re looking for the best sushi in San Marcos, Otsu is it. We ordered the wonton soup, Shaggy Dog roll, Chef’s Special roll, yellowtail nigiri, shrimp nigiri, octopus nigiri, a bento box, and the General Tso’s plate and every single dish was outstanding. While everything was delicious, the sushi completely stole the show. It was unbelievably fresh, incredibly flavorful, and easily some of the best sushi we’ve had anywhere. It’s honestly unlike any other sushi we’ve tried in San Marcos. The service was just as impressive as the food. Everyone on the staff was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, making the entire experience even better. Otsu has officially become our new go-to spot for sushi nights. We can’t wait to come back and try even more of the menu. Highly, highly recommend!”
