    Ototo stuns again. We had our small wedding reception here last year and returned for our anniversary. We tried the tasting menu. Some classics were as good as ever whilst we tried some new items that delighted (like our first ever oysters and the duck katsu). It’s excellent value, as the mains were generous serves we couldn’t finish. The tiramisu dessert seemed like it would be very rich but was well balanced and refreshing after the savouries! The waiters were attentive and patient, we never felt rushed. We hope to return every year 🩷

    Wagyu Wednesday special was great value! Food tasted great, a bit heavy since all 3 courses was the wagyu then some noodles – would've been nice to have a small salad to share or as an add on option. Service was good, it was quiet since it was an early dinner on a weekday. Not sure if they charged us correctly for our 2 drinks though since it was near the same price as our meals... Also the door was hard to find since it's lowkey disguised as the wall

    The food was subpar. We ordered the set menu “feed me”, although this was enough food to fill us up, the dishes themselves were very mediocre and left a lot to be desired. The decor definitely looks better online, in person the venue is quite shabby and dusty. I wouldn't dine here again.
