Otaru Japanese Kitchen

The rolls (salmon avocado, dynamite, avocado, salmon maki), edamame, and chirashi don we ordered for takeout were all fresh and delicious! Service was timely and polite, prices were quite reasonable, and the restaurant seemed clean. I think we'll be back when we're in town!

Ordered a chicken katsu roll and a spicy tuna tempura roll. Both of them tasted good. The spicy agedashi tofu was not that great. The sauce wasn't spicy at all. Gyoza was tasty (pork). The fantastic roll was tasty but very small for $13.95. The ingredients were fresh and their food tastes good.

Delightful little restaurant nestled in a strip mall in Richmond.Quick,efficient and friendly service.High turnover of food so everything is nice and fresh. Lots of takeout as it’s 10% off currently.Food is delicious..We ordered Takoyaki, Prawn and Yam Tempura, Assorted Aburi - excellent and delicious, and Negihema & Chopped Scallop Rolls.We saw our neighbours ordered the Pork Chop and it looked super crispy!Will definitely returned again!

We ordered through Uber eats, and pleased to see that the bag’s sealed when deliver. Food is good! Will order again

Always delicious and quick! I’d for sure recommend this sushi place. Prices are decent for the special rolls and even better for normal rolls. If you have no idea what to order and try I recommend ordering the sushi and udon I’m posting pictures of! Enjoy.

Fresh sushi, yummy special rolls, slightly salty miso soup, so-so bibimbap. Reasonable prices. Worth trying!

Absolutely delicious food, the quality and service is excellent. The chirashi don is one of the best I’ve had anywhere, and the quality of their seafood in all dishes is top notch. If you are in Richmond in this is a must try!

One of my favourite restaurants! My aunt and I would always go here since it's close to home. The bento boxes are decently priced, and the variety of dishes make this place a bit of a Japanese-Korean fusion restaurant.I recently went with my friend to catch up with one another, so I ordered something I haven't had before. This was my first time ordering Udon, and I was pleasantly surprised. The Tempura was tasty as always, and the broth was nice and light, very easy to slurp. I also ordered the Potato Croquet, and that was also good.Service is friendly, although a bit slow (there are a lot of take-out orders coming and going through the door). Nice atmosphere, the restaurant makes you forget that you're dining inside a plaza.While I wouldn't say that the restaurant is authentic in flavour, it's one of my favourite spots that brings me back home.
