Soft shell crab was dry, pot of vinegar was open so all of the gyoza were soggy, sushi covered in mayonnaise. Disappointing

I visited this restaurant when it was Sushi One and didn't think much of it as the food was quite bland and the service not great. I booked Otaru and realised afterwards it was the same place rebranded so I had low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised however and I cant wait to come back for more. The food was delicious this time and I liked the new ordering system where you can order multiple rounds of sushi. The service was better this time around but it did feel like maybe another waiter was needed to make things smoother. Keep it up!

We waited some time for our food and when my wife's food came, I had already finished mine. My £15 tempura was definitely not worth the price. My wife's sushi rice was still warm, which means they ran out of rice, hence the reason for my wife's late sushi. I sadly did not enjoy the time there.

Food was nice. Hot food better than the sushi. Apart from they pack everything out with so much rice and not that much fish but the other food was good. Service was awful we were in the restaurant for 2 hours and only got spoken to by staff around 2 times. Had to wait about 30/40 minutes between courses. So the “all you can eat” really didn’t work as it usually is meant to. Then the worst part and this was literally advertised no where. We were told the service charge was mandatory and we had to pay it. Despite the service being bad. Such a shame.

This pains me a little because we have been there a few times - first time was amazing, second time, meh. The service and people are friendly and attentive, every time. The food - anything other than sushi was excellent. Now the sushi (which is why we go); first time, almost faultless. Second time, it was virtually just rice. Huge rice rolls, thick, wide, with ever smaller fillings. If you're unlucky enough to get an end cut - might as well just be a big square of rice. Perhaps this is just a "bottomless" menu trick, where they try to fill you with as much rice as possible so you eat less. Just a shame because the first time we went this was not a problem in the slightest. It's still a 4 because the service and non-sushi food was great. But as we go for the sushi, we won't be returning.

Service was very slow considering there were no more than 3-4 other tables being served at the time, a warm welcome and ‘service with a smile’ would have been nice. There were two members of staff who would walk around and it felt like eye contact was avoided the entire time which made it difficult to get anyone’s attention. When receiving food we’d say thank you but they’d place the food on the table again with not as much as a smile or any eye contact again, felt very awkward. Sushi was sub par, ratio of fish to rice was way off it was just like eating balls of rice. The salmon sashimi salad was awful, looks like they just use the really fatty parts of the salmon for this. Food was all you can eat, and after ordering the second round they double checked the food items we’d ticked yet still failed to bring out all the items we’d ticked on the menu. The restaurant was freezing cold so we were sat shivering whilst trying to eat, which in turn made any hot food get cold very quickly. Positives - the chicken teriyaki was nice. All in all, wouldn’t recommend. Service was cold and slow, unfortunately left feeling very underwhelmed.

Went recently and it appears it's same management as before when it was sushi one and subsequently closed down by authorities. Toilets are absolutely filthy. Food has gone down hill and they packed out the rolls with lots of rice and little fish. Also found the manager to be difficult and rude. Didn't like answering simple queries about number of items in a portion etc. I won't be returning.

They put regular mayonnaise on top of both the Dragon and Rainbow rolls. Most bizarre thing ever, I had to wipe it off with a paper towel and then deliveroo some Sriracha Mayo

Big sushi fan, excited to visit. Went for a Friday evening meal. Had a range of about 8/9 different dishes. Service second to none. Nice atmosphere. Saki okay. Terrible loos. I truly hope the kitchen's installed by a different fitter and are of better spec! I mean, I couldn't quite believe the state of them. Mixed review of the food. Some was fabulous - pumpkin fritters a big hit. Salmon tempura delicious. Some was disappointing e.g. loads of mayonnaise on everything, crab flavoured sticks...!? Sea food just didn't taste fresh unfortunately. Might return for the "bottomless" deal, but prefer Yo! and Chelmsford's Jet Sushi tbh.

After we complained about our coke being flat and weird tasting, the service went downhill. The manager very defensively said the cokes were from cans, no apologies from him and did not offer to replace our drinks. We were sure he was not telling the truth as the drinks tasted awful. After this, we waited ages for our food, and when they did arrive, definitely not worth the price they are charging. I don’t think the place has improved from One Sushi. In fact, it’s worse.

Ignored for a bit since walking in on a not particularly rushed night, and then when I politely asked about the possibility of a quieter table due to guest having autism, they replied with a very hostile "no.". Following this we decided to go elsewhere and were met with a rude tut and glare. Abysmal customer service and plain lack of tact.

We went for lunch on a Wednesday so it was a little quiet but the food we had was amazing. We had bottomless sushi which is great value for money, everything was made freshly there and then, the quality of the food was amazing, the sushi was soooo good and all the hot food was perfectly hot as it arrived, I would 100% go again. The service was also great, all staff were super friendly, helpful and very attentive. We have also ordered take away sushi from them before which was also great!

Mixed Experience at Otaru Sushi I recently visited Otaru Sushi after hearing great reviews about it. I opted for a takeaway instead of dining in. The restaurant's interior was impressively clean and had a modern ambiance. The waiter, though friendly, had a noticeable cigarette smell, which was a minor concern for me. For my order, I chose the Dragon Roll, Salmon Nigiri, and Chicken Katsu. The Dragon Roll and Salmon Nigiri were decent, but unfortunately, the Chicken Katsu left much to be desired. It was disappointingly dry, and this marred my overall impression of the meal. While it's possible that dining in might offer a better culinary experience, my takeaway order fell short of expectations. As a result, I'm hesitant to return to Otaru Sushi. Despite the letdown with the Chicken Katsu, the cleanliness of the restaurant and the friendliness of the staff do leave a positive impression. Perhaps trying different items on the menu or giving the dine-in experience a chance could lead to a more satisfying visit in the future.

We went in on a weekday where we all had a dish rather than get the all you can eat deal. Chicken teriyaki was super sweet and punchy, bone broth was so creamy you will swear it has cream in it. Good food, will return to see what the sushi is like and maybe some of the deep fried stuffs. There were some teens in chowing down on the all you can eat and drink deal and what they had looked good from a far.

Lovely Saturday evening dinner at Otaru. Excellent staff, excellent food and a bottomless Japanese menu on a Saturday evening for a very reasonable price. Will definitely be returning to try the Korean BBQ with family and friends and the bottomless drinks/ sushi will definitely be a revisit for us when neither of us have to drive. Nothing like its predecessor and worth a visit for any lovers of Japanese and Korean food!

Delicious, authentic Japanese food, with very attentive and polite staff. The bottomless menu is a great idea as a group of friends, allowing those of us who were new to the cuisine to try a variety of dishes. The restaurant was very clean with tasteful decor. The only small negative was unavoidable as a part of the building, as it was a bit echoey which made it slightly difficult to hear each other.
