    I went with my grandmother who has mobility challenges and is wheelchair bound on Christmas. Because of her mobility issues, we were very late, but they were very accommodating on all aspects. They put out a ramp so that we could get over the stairs and gave us an incredible seat by the window. The service was excellent. The food was beautiful. The atmosphere was incredible. So thankful for everyone at Otaru for giving my grandmother a very special day.

    We loved our first visit to Golden Gai! From the moment we stepped through the door until the moment we left, the ambiance and hospitality exceeded expectations. Every dish we tried was perfectly presented and equally delicious! We really appreciated interacting with the chefs and watching them create the menu!! We will be back!
