EVERYTHING is good about this place. The decor may need a slight "pick me up" but the staff is very courteous and the food is UNREAL.

My friend and I decided to try something a little different when having an early supper before an evening at a concert. We found the Otawa restaurant downtown, only 1 1/2 blocks from the Midtown Mall. The broth soup was tasty, the ginger topped salad very nice, and I can recommend the lemon chicken.

Saskatoon has many 'all-you-can-eat' sushi restaurants, but if you are looking for mouthwatering goodness and quality Otowa is tops. The restaurant decor is great, the service has always been great.

My bill was $70 for food that normally costs around $40 in most sushi restaurants. I've paid half this for way better quality sushi at restaurants in Vancouver and Winnipeg. The Yam tempura was chewy and the either the wasabi or soy sauce was VERY salty. The service was good, but it wasn't very busy.

The sushi is generally pretty good but the decor could certainly use an update, particularly the ice cold bathroom area. Wonderful to get the delicious tea with you meal and the service was good.
