Otosan Sushi - Long Beach

The place was not very busy for Sunday lunch, but we decided to give it a try since our regular place was not open until evening. Food was a little pricier than we usually pay but was okay tasty. Rolls could have been bigger (more slices androlled tighter as they fell apart when picked up. I wish the server had more experience and interacted with us more. The issuethat I have with the restaurant is the tipping scale at the bottom of the check that tips on top of the taxable total. I findthis ridiculous and what exasperates me even more is the NORMAL tipping table is 15% 18% 20% BUT on their table NOT only was itoff the taxable total but the scale was 18% 20% 22% .....that is ridiculous (22% especially with being in a city that charges10.25% tax so that would mean the server would on a 20% tip (according to Otosan's scale really be getting 30.25% tip. Thanksbut NO THANKS! If I am going to pay that much it is going to go to EXPERIENCED staff. DONT lie about the scale. Tell the truthon the sale: 28.25%, 30.25% 32.25

The $48 sushi sampler is really good quality and delicious. Would definitely recommend! Dave was my server and was super friendly and helpful with the menu and recommendations for other cool spots to hit in the LBC.

I've dined here several times and each time the service is friendly, albeit a bit slow. It's never been especially busy, but the food is tasty and well prepared. My only complaint is on the lettuce wraps, where the leaves are chopped too small toactually use to wrap the contents, and some of the veggies seem haphazardly thrown in for filler.

I?ve been coming here for a little bit now maybe 4 times total the last year or so. I went there with my family on Good Friday after a long week and arrived at 8p-8:05p only to be told sorry we are closed it?s our last table when the restaurant closes at8:30pm?? Restaurant closes at 8:30 not 8p why turn people away on a Friday?? Seems ridiculous for a sushi restaurant that neverhas a wait or look to be that busy at all to turn away a family of 4. I?ve spent probably $250 every time I?ve gone. I hopewhoever owns the place actually thinks about staying open a reasonable time for dinner on a Friday and not close bc staff wantto leave RIGHT at 8:30. Give me a break sheesssh

While at 2nd PCH we got hungry and decided to try out Otosan. From the outside looking in the restaurant looked well decorated and I assumed would be top notch because of its location in a beautiful new shopping center. I enjoyed the albacoresashimi which was the first item brought out. The second and third items were problematic. The king salmon sashimi tasted abit old and slimy . . . which was worrisome. The roll which contained blue crab meat has pieces of the shell in almost everybite, which definitely detracted from being able to enjoy the food. Before we left I used the restroom, which obviously hadn?tbeen cleaned in several days. It was disgusting and caused me to look at the kitchen closely upon exiting the restroom. Icould see that the kitchen floors were also filthy and obviously hadn?t been cleaned in days. Raw seafood and an uncleankitchen is an absolutely terrible combination. I?m not going to return to this restaurant as I don?t feel safe eating the food.
