Otaru Sushi - New Haven

We had a really fun time at Otaru. It’s a small place. They keep the door locked and let customers in as they arrive. I had the omakase. $108 and a lot of fun! The fish was delicious and I absolutely loved trying everything. The waitress was extremely knowledgeable. She described each dish or piece, told me how to eat it and what order to eat it in. If you like trying interesting sushi I would highly recommend! The toro with gold and caviar was my favorite piece hands down!The rest of my party ordered off the menu and enjoyed their dinner too. We finished up with a piece of wagu that was phenomenal!

The omakase is fantastic. This is easily the best sushi I’ve had in CT, and was even better than some of the more expensive NYC places we’ve been to. Sitting at the bar is fun also, watching the chefs carefully prepare each piece was mesmerizing. Can’t wait to go back. Also, parking is validated in temple garage.Food: 5/5

Best sushi in new haven. Worth every penny! So fresh and delicious, and clearly very high quality. Try everything !!

Absolutely amazing. Omakase was very impressive. One of the first pieces of mackerel immediately blew my socks off. The o toro was to die for. Oysters were superb. Didn't catch where they were from. Loved the hand roll towards the end and the pickled sweet tomato was a yummy finish.Left more full than expected. If you were trying to figure out if the omakase is worth the money it is. The salmon was amazing and I do not like salmon.

Best sushi restaurant in CT, and even better than most of the places in NYC. Chef changes the menu every few months depending on the season, so there’s always something new every time I go. Omakase is around $100 but it is worth it!Food: 5/5
