   Made a booking for 4 including a reservation deposit, to receive a half text message that made no sense a. couple of days before the reservation date. This prompted me to call Ototo to which their main phone number was disconnected. Found a mobile online which just wrang out. I then DM'd Ototo on instagram, to confirm whether they were open, which i got not response. Anyway met friends at the restaurant to which Ototo was closed. We also saw 2 other groups turn up and had the same problem. I understand sometimes things can go wrong in business, but if your advertising your restaurant online and taking web bookings, if you have to close then cut off your booking page and don't take deposits, and inform your current reservations for the inconvenience.

   Ambience is good as always, although was hard to get a waiters attention at times, food was good and came decently fast.

   We have never been here before and not sure we'd go again to be honest. Our friend is vegetarian and on the website they had a tofu noodle dish as a main which was no longer available. Thankfully she was ok to have two entree dishes that were vegetarian. My husband and I got the 'feed me deal' where most of the food was good. But we waited over 45 mins for the dessert that was tiny to be shared between the two of us! For the price we paid we would expect two of what was the dessert size. Wine is also expensive but cocktails are the usual prices you get in most places (so that is fine)

   First indicator that we weren’t going to have a best time was the fact that there was almost no one there. Such an odd atmosphere. The starters were great but the mains were weird. The set menu said Dan Dan noodles but we were essentially served spaghetti? The salad was just lettuce leaves. With there only being a few tables we thought there would be quick service but it took ages for them to clear plates. The drinks were amazing though, I’d go back but only for drinks.

   Ambiance was good. Food was yummy but was a little on the lighter side and the service was shocking. When bringing out the next course maybe check if there are plates, napkins or cutlery on the table. Had to ask us what course we had and if we’d eaten yet. Disappointing considering it’s not cheap.

    Overpriced, entrees were yummy, mains were not. There shouldn't be a mop bucket in the middle of the room.
