Kantaro, Otaru

Hardly finds an ordinary Sushi restaurant at home that strikes this fast food sushi.What strikes one first is the freshest products,As always, a conveyor belt sushi restaurant gives all tastes the chance to try out for a small amount of money.One or two small unorthodox creation also pass in review.

Ramen Tokaiya

Reviewed By bbeinstein04

We decided to try this place based on excellent reviews on Tripadvisor. It’s quite easy to find as it’s near the station. Menu is very limited and in fact only has 3 ramen choices. We ordered the Japanese Style Barbecued Pork Miso Ramen, Light Soy-Sauce Ramen, and Gyoza. The Miso Ramen is very good and the BBQ Pork is very tasty. We did not quite like the Soy-Sauce Ramen though as it was too light it was as if it didn’t seem to have any soy sauce at all. The gyoza is very good and the extra crispness to make the “wings” is a very nice touch. We would have loved to have been able to order a BBQ Pork in rice though especially since my son is allergic to fish and they only have Bonito Rice.

Great value and good food. This really says it all. Very impressed when I got what I saw from the photo menu, its almost identical. The portion was bigger than what I expected with lots of sashimi. Again great value The food was fresh, delicious and what I wanted. Flexible menu where you get to choose 3 or 4 combination of sashimi toppings then choose either normal or large size. Easy. There are other predefined set too but everything is on the picture menu or on the way. Highly recommended.

Admittedly, it wasn’t the first time I’ve had fried chicken with this flavor profile; but for the price, it was quite good. We also ordered the soft serve, and would recommend it. Previous reviewers mentioned something about smokers, so that was a worry for me; however, the restaurant is rather large and we were seated away from the one group with same smokers and were not bothered by it.

We walked from Otaru station along canal heading towards Minami-Otaru station, Kamaei is along the way.Great place for rest stop even if you don't buy anything. Their specialties are fish cakes of all kinds, but they also have other stuff.Free hot/cold water/tea and fish cake samples. Clean toilets, a must stop in Otaru.

We arrived in Otaru late and came here right after dropping off our luggage at the hotel. As we're a party of 8, we had to wait a while for 2 tables of 4 (they were trying to put us next to each other) even at round 3pm. The wait was definitely worth it as it's the best soba we had eaten. We had 2 orders of Nishin (Herring) other than our soba and they tasted fabulous too. This place is definitely a must if you are visiting Otaru and wish we can be back again.

This Sushi restaurant offers fine Sushi course at affordable price. This place was listed on micheline restaurant guide book a few years ago. very popular Sushi place in Otaru. You must make reservation before you come to Otaru. 北海道に詳しい友人のお勧めで1ヶ月前に事前に予約して伺いました。べビ連れだったので半個室にお席をご用意頂きました。子連れでカウンターはやっぱり難しいですが、高品質な本物の寿司店が子どもOKな時点で有り難いです。しっかりと仕事をしたネタを3皿に分けて魚→貝と甲殻類→軍艦巻きとストーリー仕立てで出して頂けて美味しいお鮨を堪能できました。
