Why go

OTOTO is a Japanese, $$ restaurant with a 4.6 Google rating across 717 reviews. With Blackbird check-in volume unavailable, that review base is the available popularity signal: diners mention izakaya-style sharing, sake, cocktails, and date nights or special occasions.

The clearest through-line is variety. Reviewers describe ordering across the menu without a miss, with specific praise for grilled squid and breaded oysters. Service may start slowly, according to one review, but the same diner noted the food arrived quickly once ordered.

If you love Japanese Tapas, this is the place to go! We tried a variety of options on the menu and not a single disappointment, every item was delicious. Definitely recommend for special occasions or date nights. Loved their selection of Sake as well!
