おたる政寿司 新宿

We were hosting a dinner for a friend from Sendai (total 3 pax) and ordered a set menu with sashimi and crabs. The food quality is extremely disappointing and you can’t imagine the toro was still icy 🧊 when you chew it. We were not informed the grilled crab is not available upon ordering the se...t. Half way, the waitress came to inform us we have to substitute with another crab dish. It would be nice to be advised when we order that particular expensive menu. Sorry to say that, as we have tried many different sushi places, and find out this one is the worst by far.

We heard about this restaurant from a Japanese friend so we made reservation for the premium omakase (24,200 yen per person) expecting to get a taste of things we could only have in Japan. The fish was fresh but the rice was cold even though it was served right at the counter. The quality of the ...fish and selection was not as “premium” as we would have expected at the price we were paying. Uni and ikura were served repeatedly in many of their dishes. For an Omakase, you would think the chef would have thought of the overall design of the courses and not to serve the same ingredients back to back. The most satisfying sushi we had was the kinki. The chawamushi (steamed egg) was pretty good. It had cod, clams, shitake mushrooms, chestnut and some assorted veggies in it, and topped with ikura and uni . We found the warm dishes and ankimo (monkfish liver) to be a bit salty. The shrimp that was served was not a live shrimp. There was only one slice of otoro in the entire meal and it wasn’t top quality otoro. The meal was filling but the overall feeling we got after we finished was very underwhelming.

Ordered the otaru set around ¥5,500, 12 pieces of sushi from Hokkaido, the botan prawn is very sweet and the octopus head is very soft. The chef is quite friendly, better to make a reservation.

I booked on-line for this lunch. Everything was top class - from the on-line reservation (they even asked if we were OK with raw food in their confirmation), the way we were received and seated in the restaurant, the helpfulness of the service staff and chef and the freshness of the food. An altoget...her superb experience!! And it didn't really cost the earth!!
