This week was Japanese food centric, guess we can't handle the spice anymore! Umm, or maybe not... will show you in the next post.
Oto Sushi is an authentic Japanese restaurant and it looks big. The restaurant uses a lot of wood as decor and had a Japanese feel to it. They also had a Japanese bar if anyone is interested to watch the sushi chef make sushi. Depending on what you order and how much food you order, this can be more expensive than a Japanese buffet. So if you are really hungry, you may want to go across the street and have Haiku buffet instead. Otherwise, Oto seems to serve decent food.
Here are the items we had:
1. Edamame (complimentary)
They placed this after we ordered. Nice gesture of them. Normally, this may cost anywhere from $3-5.

2. Music Roll ($12.95)
Sushi with lightly cooked salmon on the outside, avocado and tempera shrimp in the side. Not quite sure what's the sauce on the plate, but it made the sushi quite wet, so I didn't prefer it, or I shouldn't dip the sushi into the soy sauce. I was just ok with this roll.

3. Yakitori ($5.95)
Very flavorful teriyaki chicken on a skew. I don't see this dish often so ordered this. Not bad, it's a nice change from gyoza :)

4. Ton-Katsu ($12.95)
Not sure if the best was saved for last, or we didn't order the right things. I liked Ton-Katsu the most. Ok, before the dish came, I thought it was the other don, i.e. the one with onion and egg... sorry, wrong.. didn't read the menu properly. I still love this dish though, and the salad on the side was quite good, it's simple and the salad dressing was light.

Overall, I like the plate presentation of Oto Sushi, that seems to impress me.
Food: 4/5 (a bit disappoint with the music roll, will try something else next time)
