Reviews for Otosan Sushi in Long Beach, CA
The $48 sushi sampler is really good quality and delicious. Would definitely recommend! Dave was my server and was super... friendly and helpful with the menu and recommendations for other cool spots to hit in the LBC. Read more
I've dined here several times and each time the service is friendly, albeit a bit slow. It's never been especially busy, but... the food is tasty and well prepared. My only complaint is on the lettuce wraps, where the leaves are chopped too small toactually use to wrap the contents, and some of the veggies seem haphazardly thrown in for filler. Read more
I’ve been coming here for a little bit now maybe 4 times total the last year or so. I went there with my family on Good Friday... after a long week and arrived at 8p-8:05p only to be told sorry we are closed it’s our last table when the restaurant closesat 8:30pm?? Restaurant closes at 8:30 not 8p why turn people away on a Friday?? Seems ridiculous for a sushi restaurant thatnever has a wait or look to be that busy at all to turn away a family of 4. I’ve spent probably $250 every time I’vegone. I hope whoever owns the place actually thinks about staying open a reasonable time for dinner on a Friday and not closebc staff want to leave RIGHT at 8:30. Give me a break sheesssh Read more
While at 2nd & PCH we got hungry and decided to try out Otosan. From the outside looking in the restaurant looked well... decorated and I assumed would be top notch because of its location in a beautiful new shopping center. I enjoyed the albacoresashimi which was the first item brought out. The second and third items were problematic. The king salmon sashimi tasted abit old and slimy . . . which was worrisome. The roll which contained blue crab meat has pieces of the shell in almost everybite, which definitely detracted from being able to enjoy the food. Before we left I used the restroom, which obviouslyhadn’t been cleaned in several days. It was disgusting and caused me to look at the kitchen closely upon exiting therestroom. I could see that the kitchen floors were also filthy and obviously hadn’t been cleaned in days. Raw seafood and anunclean kitchen is an absolutely terrible combination. I’m not going to return to this restaurant as I don’t feel safeeating the food. Read more
Admittedly, we didn't eat here -- rather me and my heavily pregnant wife came in asking to use their restroom. They declined. I... believe exceptions should be made in certain circumstances. Read more
Try their blue crab roll. Excellent. Also, a perfect place to go for a quick roll????????
Dinner at this place on a weekday, good corner location just below the parking structure. Good atmosphere, the server was very... attentive and the chef was nice and appreciative of customers. The food was objectively good but definitely not high end sodon’t expect too much. The place is definitely worth a try - so enjoy! Read more
The place was not very busy for Sunday lunch, but we decided to give it a try since our regular place was not open until... evening. Food was a little pricier than we usually pay but was okay & tasty. Rolls could have been bigger (more slices) androlled tighter as they fell apart when picked up. I wish the server had more experience and interacted with us more. The issuethat I have with the restaurant is the tipping scale at the bottom of the check that tips on top of the taxable total. I findthis ridiculous and what exasperates me even more is the NORMAL tipping table is 15% 18% 20% BUT on their table NOT only was itoff the taxable total but the scale was 18% 20% 22% .....that is ridiculous (22%) especially with being in a city that charges10.25% tax so that would mean the server would on a 20% tip (according to Otosan's scale) really be getting 30.25% tip. Thanksbut NO THANKS! If I am going to pay that much it is going to go to EXPERIENCED staff. DONT lie about the scale. Tell the truthon the sale: 28.25%, 30.25% & 32.25% Read more
