Ota is a sushi restaurant in Omaha, Nebraska.[1][2][3]
Ota is a six-seat sushi counter that opened in July 2023.[3] It is known for a creative exploration of the concept of sushi.[1][3]
The restaurant is owned by David Utterback, whose mother was Japanese.[1] He owns two other Japanese restaurants in Omaha, including Yoshitomo, which opened in 2017 and is located next door to Ota in a former Subway location, and Koji, a yakitori restaurant.[1] In 2023 Utterback was the first chef in Nebraska to be named a finalist for a James Beard Award.[1]
