My family’s favorite place! - Edit
My kids always pick Otani for their birthday dinners! We love it! Amazing and inventive vegan sushi, tons of options (the vegan menu is a full front and back of a page!) and great service, especially from Marco, our favorite server of all time! Always delicious, always a pleasure. We love the vegan wonton soup, and my personal favorite is the haiku roll.

Great Vegan Choices - Edit
It was our first visit and we chose to go with hibachi. The surface was cleaned twice before they cooked our tofu teriyaki. And all the staff seemed completely aware of what “vegan” meant. Although it’s not a 100% vegan restaurant, our food was carefully and deliciously prepared. The staff was very nice and attentive. I’m looking forward to going here again when I’m in the area.
Read morePros: Separate vegan menu, Many choices , Knowledgeable staff
Cons: There will be others eating animals.

Amazing!! - Edit
Our family loves dining here and the options are astounding. We love everything we have ordered so far and cannot say enough good things about them. I wish it wasn’t so pricey but it’s kind of a good thing since we would probably spend a lot more going all the time.

Pros: Loads of vegan options, Great variety of items -ramen, sushi, hibachi, et, Ample parking

Sushi was great - Edit
The sushi was outstanding, and they have a very extensive menu even have herbivorous butcher beef. The menu item I got wasn't the best but I think I just chose wrong.

Wow! Six pages of 100% vegan options! - Edit
What a find! This well established Japanese restaurant has a separate, SIX page separate vegan menu, using vegetables, veggie meats, and the vegan "tuna" product called Ahimi for some of its sushi and hot dishes. Their menu has more options than most fully vegan Japanese restaurants! If you haven't tried it yet, Ahimi is made by a vegan company called Ocean Hugger and is made from tomatoes and looks like raw tuna without the fishy taste, and has a super smooth mouth feel. So yummy! We have really enjoyed all of the specialty rolls which are all beautifully prepared (see accompanying pics). I personally much preferred the Satay Roll to the Siesta Roll because I found the mango salsa a bit overpowering on the Siesta. Other favorites were the Veggie Thunder Roll, Super Green, and Hippie Roll. A number of the rolls and nigiri use tempura vegetables so there's an added punch. The Gyoza (dumplings) were pan fried and wonderful. We tried the Hibachi Teriyaki Tofu which was great if you're up for a BIG dose of fresh tofu. The Gardein Chicken and Herbivorous Butcher Steak entree was more interesting and really tasty. We also had the vegan Kim-Chi Udon noodles which was very good but I would be better with less oil. Overall I think the vegan sushi is the real specialty of this place and besides the Gyoza, I would be perfectly happy just doing an all sushi dinner here and going lighter on the hot dishes. When we ate there pre-COVID, the restaurant was spacious but very comfortable, and service was very attentive. Ask for Kim if you call to place an order. She curated the vegan menu and was super helpful, although isn't there every night.

Good options - Edit
New on my vegan journey , staff gave good vegan roll options I enjoyed. Menus on the windows were meat based options; store has vegan signage . Due to pandemic, carry out is the only option, I did not mind .

Grateful for this place, especially during uncertain times - Edit
Would have rated this place five stars if the app allowed, but this place has DOZENS of options on a fully separate vegan menu. The staff is extremely helpful and always able to answer your questions. Got to go food while the Coronavirus has been keeping people in - their full vegan menu is still available 👍🏼 Thanks Otani’s!

Five stars! - Edit
I really wish the system would allow me to give 5 stars because they have absolutely done their homework. I’ve only tried the sushi so far but it is much more than your basic avocado roll! Vegan cream cheese, vegan spicy tuna, vegan eel sauce and more! I will become a regular.
Read morePros: Unique vegan options not available anywhere else, Fair prices
Cons: In a boring neighborhood

Otani ROCKS!!! - Edit
Not only have they created a huge vegan menu but they have done their homework! They get their “meats” from herbivorous butcher and their “fish” from Good catch. There is a vegan version of everything- they even use a tofu egg for the hibachi (which they make sure is completely clean from animal products). Amazing vegan sushi, apps, entrees, desserts, and we love the hibachi for special occasions! Staff is lovely! I could go on..
