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 ...

Went in on a Saturday night. Ordered the Saba Zuke, Kushi Yaki - premium set and the Bibimbap. Also a couple more items, but these were the main dishes. The food was delicious - except for the black angus skewer, it had a strange consistency and flavour. The staff was fun and friendly. The atmosphere gave good vibes. Overall a good experience. I would go back again.

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.

The best and most authentic Izakaya vibe Montreal. Always have a good time here and I've been here ever since it's opening probably 10 years ago. Service food drinks are great and fairly priced for that level of quality.

My last restaurant visit on my roadtrip to Montreal after a flight to New York. I had the seared Tataki tuna and it was great. I had a Japanese soda with floating balls. They didn’t have takoyaki but a side salad with squid. The atmosphere was great and the ladies who served me were fantastic. It was better than the Japanese places in Pensacola. I don’t know when I’ll be back in Montreal but I’ll try to head there again.
