Sushi Ota delivers a delightful sushi experience! The agedashi tofu and crispy eggplant with spicy tuna were fantastic. I was amazed by the freshness of the chirashi sushi - it’s a must-try! Just remember to make a reservation since it gets busy...

The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between casual and upscale, making it ideal for special occasions or just a nice dinner out.

I celebrated my friend's birthday here and we indulged in the agedashi tofu and crispy eggplant with spicy tuna - both were exceptional! Each sushi roll was incredibly fresh, and I particularly loved the salmon dish.

Just a heads up: definitely make a reservation! The parking lot can be tricky, but it's worth the effort for such a delightful culinary experience. Can't wait to come back! 🎉
