Went to Otaru last weekend with a friend. We both had their flavorful miso soup, sushi rolls and mochi for dessert. Everything was great, loved that the rolls had thin layer of rice, and the mochi was some of the best I have had in a while! Do check it out.

For a sports bar/golf club setting, I was not expecting good sushi — this was GREAT sushi. Highly recommend the Spicy tuna tartare as an appetizer. It was well balanced in every way. My girlfriend and I had the lakeshore drive and carnival specialty rolls, along with the spicy tuna and yellowtail. All pieces were well balanced in terms of ration of toppings and rice, and the rice melted in our mouths — just really stand out sushi! This is our second time back and we will certainly be back again.

Most of the food was good, except the Korean BBQ short rib sliders. There was not much meat on the 2 slider sandwiches and the meat was tough and chewy. Ordered a Caesar salad and it came with the entrees, not before the meals. Service was somewhat indifferent, particularly since the restaurant was not busy.

Servers were very accommodating. We sat outside, which is really nice, and had appetizers, which were good. We had a coupon and the wrong amount was deducted. I called the next day and spoke to the Mgr, who corrected it right away. Will definitely go back to sit out on their patio.

When you walk into this golf course pro shop looking restaurant you would never expect them to have good sushi. I know good from bad sushi and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and presentation....all at very friendly pricing.
