We went for a romantic dinner at Hotto and were charmed by the atmosphere of the place, energized by the performance of a live DJ.
We started at the bar with cocktails, a coffee martini and a mojito, both really well done.
We later move to the table nicely set and confortable, for shrimp tempura as a starter - excellent, one of the best I’ve ever had. We followed with the Panko breaded sea bass and grilled Nile perch, both impeccable. The spicy glass noodles that accompanied one of the dishes and the green salad were great.
We would have tried dessert but were full at that time.
Amazing service and attention from the new manager Kerem.
We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Exceptional Sushi Experience!
Hotto delivers an unparalleled sushi experience! Every roll was crafted to perfection with fresh, high-quality ingredients that truly melted in my mouth. The flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation was as stunning as the taste. The chefs clearly have a passion for their craft, and it shows in every bite. The ambiance was serene, making it the perfect spot for sushi lovers. Highly recommend trying the wagyu roll it’s a game-changer!
Will definitely be back for more.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Hotto with some friends, and it was amazing! The atmosphere was perfect , our table server Sena was really nice. Chef Dan recommended our dish and it was delicious, from the food down to the cocktails everything was on point. I can surely say Hotto has the best Sushi in Addis. The surprise dessert was such a nice touch!

Absolutely outstanding experience! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and enjoyed it very much. Parking was abundant in the garage below and free when eating at the restaurant. Isaac was a fantastic waiter who continually checked to make sure we had everything we wanted. I had the Filet Mignon and she had the Australian Wagyu. For dessert we had the lemon tart and ice cream trio. Probably the best dessert we've ever had. Issac even made our dessert special with chocolate writing saying happy anniversary to us after I mentioned we were celebrating. It was a bit pricey, but so worth it! Highly recommend!

We dined at Hotto twice. Chef Dan’s team prepared excellent tasty dishes from appetizers to entrees. Hotto has a unique take on Japanese cuisine. We all enjoyed our dinner even my daughter, who is a picky eater. I cannot wait to go back. Don’t forget to try out their delicious desserts, my favorite was the Date Pudding!

Great Asian fusion (Japanese specifically) restaurant in an upscale setting with beautiful and warm decor and top-notch service, which we were lucky to get from Yishak. He did an excellent job and we enjoyed our dinner. My old fashioned drink was spot on too. Place is definitely pricey though maybe best for special occasions or business dinners or those spending foreign currency.

We had a delightful lunch at Hotto, where we enjoyed the salmon and the Bento box. The Bento came with its own appetizer and dessert, and both dishes were simply amazing. For dessert, I had the date pudding, which was delicious. The staff were very attentive, and the place had a lovely ambiance. Although the price was a bit on the expensive side, it was worth the experience. I would definitely go again.

Again visit to Addis. This is second time I have been eating here. Very nice comfortable tables and chairs. Professional service staff. Little bit more smile would be plus plus.
Food we order 3-4 starters. All good only gyoza was little lack of flavor.
Second course wagyu wauuw. Melting in mouth. Seabass wasn’t cheap but was too simple and little over cooked .
Black codfish was very good and tasty,
Most probably I will have one more visit,

Very nice modern restaurant with live music. Great vibe and a good place to visit. The tempura shrimp were slightly disappointing but the miso lobster soup was world class. The bartender knows how to make a good cocktail as well. Highly recommended.
