I came here a few minutes after opening and was able to be seated immediately on the counter top (in front of the kitchen, really nice seat), but the tables were already gone. I ordered the tonkatsu curry set for lunch and it was really good, definitely among the best katsu I’ve had in NYC so far de
Superior Japanese food with awesome service but have trouble accessing menu online and the individual seat near kitchen kinda have the rotten smell(not pleasant)
Phone has bad reception inside the restaurant, even thought there is free Wi-Fi provided, still a bit of troublesome.
Third time here, e
Delicious. The katsu rice bowl was really nice. However, if I can get more side dishes or vege, that will be great. Not super full after this meal. I'm not sure if the rice and soup can refill or not. I will definitely visit here again.
I came here one day after the gym. I was starving and this was on my way to the train station. Food was good, service felt very rushed. I received my bill as I was still chewing. The whole interior felt very dark. I wouldn’t mind coming here again for a quick bite, but this is not the kind of place
I have been to Ootoya several times in Japan. I think this restaurant is a high-end restaurant in the style of Ootoya. The menu provided is also limited compared to Japan, and everything is a little sophisticated. The taste was perfect and reminded me of Japan. The price is high, and one rice ball i
Always guaranteed quality, well prepared, and authentic Japanese food. You come here for food, less for service experience or atmosphere. My suggestions are the chirashi bowl, steamed egg is a MUST, and if you're around for lunch, getting the lunch sets are definitely a great deal (for this restaura
I would like to share something important with my fan's club, about restuarant. Two indicators: bathroom and percentage of patronce from same etnical group as etnical cuisine serve in given place.

Staff friendly.

Food was delicious came out very fast. I got the udon with seaweed. It was very good :) i will he visiting here again to try so of the other dishes
The Oyako don was seasoned nicely and the Salmon Tonyu Nabe had a creamy / smooth texture while soy milk added depth to taste and salmon added the oil-y and subtle umami.
ngl It tasted like a chain restaurant or a home cook who got somewhat professional but not quite there - for the quality of cook
Incredibly flavorful food. Lunch specials are customizable with tons of options. Really tasty curry rice. Pretty filling!
Love Ootoya, authentic Japanese cuisine. Great table service and often times there's a wait during dinner rush hours so try to get there early or later to score an optimal seat. They have curry, katsu, sushi, donburi, steak and so much more. The variety is amazing. Best appetizer or add-ons are the
Quality of the food was superb. Service was great though a bit slow, but worth the wait. I'd consider this place as somewhere to go for a special occasion, definitely a bit pricey.
A culinary delight! The flavor profile was so unique! This is my second time coming here and it was as good if not better than the first! The service was great - overall delightful!!
Great washu beef sukiaki. Something missing with the side dishes, not as big of a fan. Bursting at the seams during lunch hour.
This place was fantastic and it was totally different than what I was expecting. Interesting food that was served in ways I've never seen before but the food and the taste was out of this world! It's been months and I'm still talking about it with my daughter. Everyone was so nice there and I couldn
This place is a MUST if you love japanese cuisine. I have to say it was some of the best food I have ever eaten I will absolutely be returning.
