Got takeout sushi combo from otani - highly recommend their sushi! Everything was really fresh and flavorful. I loved the variety in the combo. Miso soup was good, not super warm so needed to reheat. Pickup was easy and staff was friendly. Inside looked nice, I would like to come back and dine in.

Otani is hands down the best sushi in the city. Every piece was incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. What truly sets this place apart is the amazing service—attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. You can tell they care deeply about the experience they’re creating. If you’re looking for top-tier sushi and outstanding hospitality in NYC, Otani is a must. I can’t wait to come back.

Our server was very kind! The restaurant has a very nice vibe. I ordered the tri color sashimi deluxe off the menu, the miso soup it came with was delicious one of the best I have ever had and sashimi itself tasted delectable. My girlfriend ordered the crazy dragon roll and she said it was amazing. I would come here again for my anniversary!

This place is amazing, the food is gorgeous and delicious. We had ordered the steak fried with the seafood Udon and we were floored. To top it all off we had beautiful desert cakes.

Walked in without a reservation; the restaurant was almost fully packed, but the staff managed to get us a table. Service was pretty good. Food was great, with good flavor and decent portions. Prices are also reasonable. Great place for ramen lovers.

We stumbled upon this hidden gem while walking around NYC. Since it was close to our hotel, we decided to give it a try without even checking reviews, and we’re so glad we did. It turned out to be one of the best Japanese restaurants we’ve ever visited. The service was excellent. The sushi was incredibly fresh and flavorful, the raman was rich and delicious, and every dish was prepared perfectly. Even our picky eaters loved it here. Highly recommend!

This is the best sushi restaurant in FIDI hands down. Our favorite place to go for dinner and also to take-out. The staff are lovely. 10/10 - a great dining experience

When this restaurant opened up, my boyfriend and I had to try it since we love sushi. This place is so great and we’ve come back multiple times because the sushi has always been delicious and reasonably priced. This time we ordered miso soup, spicy edamame, two maki rolls, and their special Tiger roll. Hits every time

My friend and I went to Otani around 5:30pm on a Monday. I was shocked that there was a decent amount of people in the restaurant when I checked in, so I would recommend making a reservation. They are located at a lower level, which is nice because it provides a bit of waiting room. The interior has a fancier ambiance, with a mix of tables and cozy booths. We started with an order of harumaki ($6). I liked that they cut this up in halves, so it was easier to split. It had a nice natural flavor, and the sauce definitely has a kick! I got a tonkotsu ramen ($18) and my friend got one signature roll and one regular roll, though I forgot which ones. It may have been the pink lady ($20) and yellowtail avocado ($9). It is rare for me to finish the entire bowl of ramen (broth specifically), but this bowl was delicious. It had a good ratio of broth to ingredients, and the noodles had a good texture. My only critique is that the chashu could be a tad more moist, but it still had nice flavor. My friend enjoyed her sushi, though I would still want to go back to Otani to try their sushi and update my review accordingly. Service was great! There were multiple check-backs and water refills. We did get rushed out at 6:50pm, and I had made a 5:30pm reservation, but they gave us a nice booth that would be suited for a party of 4, so I get it. Overall, I enjoyed my experience, and I will be back to try their other offerings!

I celebrated my birthday by myself at Otani Restaurant and had such a great experience. The Sushi Deluxe I ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The Takoyaki was also amazing — definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves quality Japanese food!

Delicious Gyoza and sushi / sashimi at this place, probably the best I’ve had. Great selection of rolls, sashimi, ramen bowls, rice bowls and appetizers. There is a great drink menu as well. Prices are reasonable, not overly expensive for NYC. Highly recommend!

Tried the Love Boat for two platter, and it was amazing. Fresh sashimi, well made sushi and Nigiris. The staff was very friendly and attentive checking on us more than a couple of times. Definitely coming back!

Excellent hidden gem of a sushi restaurant right in FiDi. The sushi sashimi for two was amazing and perfect for me and my partner! Can’t wait to come back. We even got this nice mochi dessert!

Found this place while trying to find an area that sells ramen and it’s a bit hidden near Fulton st. But I love the interior decoration when entering the restaurant. Our server was accommodating and nice. Tonkatsu Ramen was the perfect amount of noodles, I chose thick while my friend chose curvy. The broth was super yummy and the pork was thick but juicy. A bit charred round the edges but I kinda of love that. Mango Crepe was alright, was missing some fresh and juicy flavors but it was ok. Still soft and edible. I hope to get the chance to try the sushi options they have but lots of dishes to choose from. Pretty affordable for 2 people as well. Wait time was 12 mins

The food was incredible. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen, my friends had the truffle beef fried rice, and a few sushi rolls. The service was just a little slow, but when they were around, they were incredibly respectful and kind.

Maya Graham

It was lovely experience! The staff were kind and knowledgeable. They were so inviting and the food itself was fantastic. The portion sizes are large and in charge! Their drinks were fresh and delicious. Will definitely be visiting again.

Jed Thompson

Excellent. I'd return. I was wise enough to just order the tonkatsu ramen, nothing else. That's plenty for one person, i barely finished it. It's a very creamy broth and they nailed the sodium level perfectly. Pork is tender with a great char. And the eggs? Gel, which is great. The problem is there's only 1 egg and i wanted to eat 12 of them. Restaurant is downstairs so you occasionally get the rumble of the subway below you! Staff was very nice and attentive.

I am a fan of Japanese food and recently got the chance to have dinner at Otani. The food was quite good. The gyoza, spring rolls, and ramen were all flavorful and satisfying. The ambience was comfortable enough to enjoy the meal. Service was just okay, not terrible but could definitely be more attentive.

Chili Tan tan ramen was good! Seaweed salad also tastes exactly how you expect. Would come again. Suggest slightly warmer lighting, feels a bit too blue/cold right now.

Katsudon is different it tastes like fried pork with sunny side up egg on non-japanese rice, not authentic. provides unmatched cutlery 🤔 2 flies around my table hovering my food.
