Editorial Review for Sushi Ota – by Amanda Knoles
In Short
Tucked behind a strip mall convenience store, this Japanese eatery is one of the city's hidden finds. While the décor is minimalist and the dining area is tiny, it attracts a horde of regulars who stop in for daily specials and the latest creations from the catch of the day. Hamachi and the spicy dynamite roll are crowd favorites, but the menu also includes sea urchin, soft shell crab, teriyaki-glazed meats and tempura.

The food was average, nothing special. However, the staff was most unprofessional. Our group of 6 arrived for our reservation on time a 6:00 PM on a Wednesday. The staff immediately warned us that we had to be finished by 7:30, or else!!! You would think they were giving it away for free. Also, they kept on forgetting items we ordered. If we would have had a bad memory, we probably would have never received all of our food.
Cons: Poor Service

This place is crowded and I agree with some of the other posters, waiting for a table even with a reservation can be very annoying. However the sushi and sashimi is great!
Pros: Great basic sushi!!
Cons: Wait, service just okay
