My wife and I have been coming here about every month for more than a year now. It’s our favorite restaurant in Denver. The food, vibe, and staff are just amazing. We’ve gotten pretty much everything on the menu- ramen, brunch, sushi, dessert. You literally can’t go wrong. But this place is our go to for ramen, especially on a winter day

I loved their food! I had squid and it was perfectly cooked, tender and deliciously seasoned. Short ribs too, they were saucy and soft. Their happy hour is pretty good. We tried eggplant and was soft and the sauce was yummy. Their brussel sprouts were crispy, but just the shell. We also ordered a Branzino fish grilled it looked good, but was kind of dry and didn't have much flavor to it. The banana cake was very delicious and not super sweet. For the amount of food and drinks we had, it was a decent price. I will be back!

Cute place was awesome service!! The shashimi was really great and prices weren't crazy. I liked the gyoza and thought the garlic rice was pretty good - double points for mixing the egg in at the table. I thought the ototo roll was a little slimy and the fried apps we got (chicken and shrimp) were subpar.

Walked in on a Sunday night and were happy with the experience. The staff was so nice and made solid recommendations. Enjoyed the wine List - this is always the toughest grade from me because so many places make zero effort finding enjoyable good, affordable wine. We really loved the taste of sashimi. It was super fresh, delicate and so yummy! The Ototo roll, edamame, and goyza - were so good. The pork garlic rice was outstanding with great presentation and incredible flavors. The deep fried chicken thighs were disappointing but the meal overall was excellent and we look forward to eating here again soon.

Absolutely love Ototo! We live in the neighborhood and go here frequently. I personally dream about the garlic pork rice and amberjack collar :) the staff is super friendly, service is great, food is consistent, drinks are great and the atmosphere is lovely. We also can usually walk in and get a table or seat at the bar for 2 people. I will say I mostly enjoy their small plates or big dishes over their sushi…but it’s all good!! The eel nigiri is amazing too!
