Otto Yakitori Izakaya

Otto is a great place to go to when you feel like grabbing a drink and having a taste of Japan. It's dishes are always well portioned and fresh. My favorite is the gyoza that they have created here. Very crispy, savory and Delicious

A tiny place right outside Guy Concordia St. Mathieu exit and it's so cozy with an ambient atmosphere. Brussel sprouts in the starters is our favorite as it is so well made. I personally love the lamb and the veggies here and get it in skewers all the time. Their chicken dishes are also delicious. It's a 10/10 for me in terms of the food and service.

A lovely japanese pub to hang out with friends. The place might be a little bit small, but it's quite cozy and well decorated. It's busy and the wait can be long so reservation is a must. They were obviously understaffed. The skewers were delicious and packed with flavors. The Curry Don was aromatic, but not too strong. The Gamjatang was a little bit too oily, but the white rice was there to balanced things out. We had a good time overall.

The food was very good! The skewers were the highlight of the night and we ordered so many of them. The bibimbap tastes different from other restaurants, but it was still delicious. The ambience is fun and friendly. However, we were unlucky to be seated next to a group of tipsy/drunk people. They were so loud we couldn't hear each other talking. I would definitely come back for the skewers nonetheless.

Pros: -Great vibe, -nice decor, -authentic Japanese food taste Cons: -Hard go get seats if you didn’t reserveI went on a Monday night and it’s was full, gotta wait for half an hour, -Noisymusic and people talking so loud, -Barbecue food are burntas shown in photos, I’m not sure if the kitchen is as dark as the diner, but if I’m the chef I would have throw away the burnt ones and replace them, -Understaffed, obviously when you have to wait for 20 minutes to get your first cup of water after sitting down, you know they don’t have enough waiters/waitresses. 2 people serving more than 8 tables, it’s not ideal for both the waitresses and the customers.

Get Ready To Spend! This was my First Time eating Japanese Cuisine and with that in mind,I loved their take on foods I was already familiar with;the Bacon and Poached Egg tasted great although the dish being cold was a curveball.The Chicken wings tasted amazing and I would've had more if it didn't feel expensive.The Squid was a new texture for me,but overall,I enjoyed the adventure my palette took.I do wish that the portions were mentioned before we ordered because we spent a MacKenzie King and we didn't even feel halfway full. Other than that,I enjoyed my experience at Otto. I would recommend investing if you can :

My go-to place for great food and drinks! Can become crowded during peak hours and the resto is pretty small so make a reso online to secure a table! My partner and I always go for the Otto set, grilled squid and chicken karaage. However, I tried their gyudon and lamb for the first time this week and both so delicious! I also got their matcha cheesecake that was on the special’s menu - loved it. Rich, creamy and not too sweet. Overall, the food is always fresh and tasty. I’ve been many times and never disappointed. Definitely recommend this place!

Came here for late night bites and drinks. We got the karaage, yakitori sampler and mango soju pitcher. The karaage was fried nicely but kinda misleading because there were balls of fried mashed potatoes mixed in so it's actually not as much chicken as seen in pictures. The yakitori had a nice grill aroma and flavour, but the food wasn't very hot. The chicken skin was chewy in some parts, and overall the yakitori was very mediocre. Mango soju was very light and just tasted like mango juice.

Unexpected …food was great. Bar like atmosphere. Only had 1 drink but it was good. local place to hang and grab food. Tried chicken curry and enjoyed every bite.

Delicious isakaya style food with excellent service! Had 5 dishes for 2 people. Tried the wasabi squid, truffle karaage, angus don, buns and 6 kushiyakis! Everything was tasty and not too salty! As good as the first time we eent many years ago.
