About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Laguna Beach's first sustainable sushi restaurant. At Oto Sushi, we bring you the freshest, highest-quality seafood and ingredients sourced from certified sustainable fisheries and eco-friendly farms, promoting ocean conservation and responsible farming with every bite.

Our scratch kitchen makes all our sauces in-house, free from preservatives and artificial ingredients. Our menu is thoughtfully designed to cater to various preferences, with 98% of our offerings gluten-free, including gluten-free soy sauce, tempura, and more.

Our signature menu features standout items like the Laguna Heat Roll; Nigiri with Yakumi, where each piece of premium fish is delicately enhanced with fresh, seasonal garnishes; and our award-nominated Oto Burgers, a sushi-inspired twist on a classic burger with bold umami flavors. For lovers of Japanese barbecue, our Robatayaki selections bring the rich, smoky flavors of traditional Japanese grilling to your table.

    We spent our 46th Wedding Anniversary at the sushi bar at ÓTO. We were very impressed upon first greeting by our server, Trenton, who was a bundle of knowledge and energy. He carefully went over the menu, which is always welcome in a new restaurant. The best surprise was Chef Marvin, who asks all of your preferences before providing a delectable feast. He was very communicative and knowledgeable. This was a fantastic, affordable dinner (Happy Hour 4:30-6:00 most days). We will return often!

    Below average sushi for premium prices. Some dishes were served warm that should have been hot.
    Oto SushiResponded on April 21, 2025
    Hi Mark. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While we always welcome feedback, we want to clarify that the two hot dishes served at your table—our grilled octopus and garlic edamame—are prepared and traditionally served warm, not piping hot. Our team checks in regularly during service and is always happy to remake or re-fire a dish if it’s not to your liking, but we didn’t receive any feedback at the table during your visit. Had we known, we absolutely would have addressed it on the spot. We stand by the quality and sourcing of our ingredients and are always happy to hear directly from guests to improve. If you’d like to share more or continue the conversation, email ash at otosushi .co . We genuinely care about each guest’s experience and would love the opportunity to turn yours around.

    We really loved the presentation, food quality and the vibe when Oto first opened. Our trip last night was ok, not a bad experience by any means. But, it's not comissurate with the costs.

    We were looking forward to our towns, new sushi restaurant and unfortunately, we were dissatisfied. The Fuji silk roll was too sweet. The hokey pokey roll tasted stale, lacking flavor. The seasoning hid the flavors of tho fish, making us wonder if the fish was of poor quality. The air-conditioning vents leaked on us and it was so noisy wehad to yell to be heard. While it was packed for Thursday night, I don’t think we’ll be going back again.

    Great interior design. It's the best of California coastal meets Japanese clean aesthetic. The food was delicious - - a great combination of flavors and sensation.

    Excellent sashimi, creative rolls, and a Japanese cheesecake that was an experience in itself. The only complaint I had was the noise level and the tight squeeze between tables. Will definitely be back!
