    While the waits can be long, the prices are reasonable, the portions are large and the food -- in addition to sushi, the menu has a wide variety of Japanese dishes -- is good. Read more

    The spicy ramen is a must have. The broth itself is so tasty i'd drink a bowl without the awesome noodles and toppings. The pork is so smokey and tender! The bacon mochi was strange and delish too!

    The tuna poke was delicious and very fresh! The Spicy ramen was spicy, the egg was PERFECT, but the noodles and broth were just "ok". The Duck skewers had an excellent flavor to them!

    Beautiful place. Bacon mochi was delicious, ramen was disappointing. The slices of pork were very tough (it had to be cooked to the point it's very soft), a bit burned. Maybe because it's Sun night.

    Yes get the bacon mochi and spicy ramen, but don't miss out on the hamachi crudo, kakuni, and the hamachi kama! Hatake sarada, shiso garlic fried rice, and rolls were decent.

    Don’t come here for ramen. Do come if you’re looking for a great chicken/pork skewer, and a great selection of sake. Staff was nice!

    The Bacon Mochi is out of this world! A must order!! Our group ordered one to try & quickly ordered a 2nd dish before we even finished the 1st.

    Chotto promises the experience of a genuine izakaya-a Japanese post-work/pre-karaoke rallying point for filling up on beer, hard-to-find sake,small plates & lots of fried & skewered Japanese pub grub Read more

    Bacon mochi is incredibly underwhelming and gets stuck in your teeth. The spicy ramen broth is good. I like that they use rice bran oil for frying

    Spicy ramen (with and egg), bacon mochi, and spare ribs all great. Cool little room in the back for groups of 6ish

    Any of the hamachi dishes are amazing, as is the mixed sampler skewer plate, and the sweet potato donuts with sesame ice cream and caramel (OMG!). Love this place!

    The spicy miso is solid but by no means exceptional. Chewey noodles, good chashu and egg but the broth is a little on the boring side

    The pork belly spicy ramen and the kara-age fried chicken are both absolutely delicious! I highly recommend!

    The bacon wrapped mochi is out of this world! Spicy ramen also hits the spot on a cold day.

    This is the best Japanese Restaurant in the city. Sit at the bar Friday-Sunday and indulge yourself in food and culture with Kasu and the gang!

    Overall very tasty and I was pleasantly surprised. Loved the frisée salad and Ramen. Mochi bacon was overrated

    Don't order a coke. The glasses are so small and with ice it's about a half of a can and THEY CHARGE FOR REFILLS. Otherwise the food is amazing.
