Reviews
Today, my family and I visited to celebrate my younger son’s 20th birthday, and everything we ordered paired together beautifully. We started with our favorite sushi selections, followed by the sashimi deluxe and a chirashi bowl. We also ordered the salmon skin salad, which complemented the meal very well. Everyone in the family was satisfied, and the overall quality of the food really stood out.
I remember this place being much busier in the past, but today it wasn’t too crowded. Because of that, the service felt even more attentive and relaxed, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Great food, excellent quality, and a comfortable atmosphere—this is a restaurant we always enjoy coming back to.
Location & Parking
Ootoro Sushi is located inside the Hing Wah Lee Plaza, right next to Hing Wah Lee Jewelry. There are two ways to enter the parking lot:
• East side (from Fairway Dr.) – standard open entrance
• West side (from Brea Canyon Cut Off Rd.) – gated automatic entry that opens as your car approaches
Parking can be tricky. The ground level has about 20 spots, but they fill up quickly since it’s shared with other tenants. There’s also an underground garage with another 20–25 spots—less crowded since not many people realize it’s there.
Seating & Atmosphere
There’s a small waiting area outside with about 8–10 chairs. Inside, you’ll find a sushi bar straight ahead and counter seating to the left. The atmosphere feels more casual than truly “upscale.” At peak hours (lunch & dinner), it can get loud, so don’t expect a serene fine-dining vibe.
Service
Service was great—servers were attentive, friendly, and welcoming.
Food
Ootoro offers omakase and a wide selection of sushi. The fish used to be fresh and melts in your mouth–definitely the highlight here before. However, compared to 15 years ago, the restaurant feels less refined. The quality of the food has dipped slightly over the past 7-8 years, while the prices have stayed on the “upscale” side.
⭐ Overall
I’d call Ootoro a semi-upscale sushi spot. The food is still enjoyable and the service is great, but the ambiance and consistency don’t fully match the higher price point. Still, worth visiting if you’re craving fresh sushi in the area.
Rating: 4/5
If you get the Sashimi Deluxe, you also get a shrimp head that you can choose to either be deep fried or cooked in miso soup. I recommend getting it in the soup, although the fried option is also quite delicious. One other item that I always love to order is the fried geso (squid legs). Huge appetizer portion that is easy to share with a group of people.
Make a reservation for Ootoro before going as this location is always booked out on weekends!
Everything except for the kobe beef and king crab legs were immaculate.
The kobe beef was delicious for sure, but I’ve had better wagyu for cheaper. It is definitely not worthy of being $280.
The king crab was simply mediocre.
Get their other dishes, they are fantastic. Kobe beef is not worth it.
The restaurant is located in a low key plaza off the 60 fwy. There is a small parking lot, but it is uneven. Be careful with friends on wheels. The interior is dim. There is a sushi bar, but there are also tables that can accommodate larger parties.
Lunch is a good time to go because it’s not nearly as crowded as dinner time and the price is lower. They do charge extra for take out. I have to say I was really satisfied with the quality of the sashimi. I also love hamachi kama, so I will have to try that next time!
I recommend:
Lunch combos:
-grilled sea bass + grilled cod
-toro don + grilled cod
Sashimi lunch $25
A chirashi bowl is well worth the $50 and i highly recommend it. It actually filled me up.
