About Us
Our journey began right here in Kirkland in 2011. As the birthplace of Oto Sushi, this location laid the very foundation for who we are today. For the past 15 years, we have had the privilege of not just serving the Kirkland community, but growing right alongside it. Kirkland has transformed remarkably since we first opened our doors. We’ve watched the neighborhood evolve and weather countless changes, yet one thing has remained constant: the unwavering support of our guests who have made Oto Sushi a local favorite from day one. At the core of our restaurant is Chef Peter and our dedicated, close-knit culinary team. We believe that exceptional sushi requires more than just premium seafood—it demands meticulous craftsmanship, from precise knife work to thoughtful, daily preparation. Our philosophy is simple but requires relentless effort: we are strictly dedicated to sourcing the absolute freshest ingredients, while ensuring our menu remains accessible and reasonably priced for our community. While the scenery around our original location has changed, our founding intention has never wavered. We are here to serve honest, high-quality Japanese cuisine with warmth and uncompromising standards. Thank you, Kirkland, for embracing us over the last 15 years. We look forward to sharing many more meals with you.
