OOTOYA

Try the less known Greenwich village location - 11th & university place. Less line & same great Japanese food ! The red bean Mochi dessert is amazing :) can't go wrong with any set

Popular Japanese Joint. The Chirashi was really good, quality of the fish was superb. Egg custard , which comes with dishes, is incredible. Also to note this is a Non-Tipping restaurant .

The set of tonkatsu with brown rice and a yakitori made of breast of meat with plum sauce and shiso . Everything was perfect. I recommend this place to everyone who enjoys the classic japanese food .

Authentic , fairly priced , fresh materials, variety of selection of don and bento set for lunch ! The salmon sushi set and marinated beef are recommended! Also try their tofu salad

Everything was amazing. Try kimchee nabe if you like spicy savory soup and eggs .

Woah, this place is great! Get the noodle set consisting of Steak Ju with Kake Soba noodles [a perfect lesson in Umame] ????. Anything else is just icing on the proverbial cake .

Their signature chirashi bowl was incredible. The tuna sashimi melted in my mouth and the uni was salty goodness. The steamed egg custard was a great start.

Delicious Japanese food . I enjoyed the yasai kurozu (fried vegetables in sauce) and the katsu toji (pork katsu w/ egg and broth). The service was fast and efficient. Get the autumn sundae for dessert .

Everything was super yummy! The marinated beef was super juicy and great taste also I recommend to try the Unagi (eel ) donabi and the mochi which was one of the best mochi .

Not much option for vegetarians . But I loved this place because of the service and ambience. One gets to experience Japanese culture to an extent. This restaurant reminded me of my days in Japan.

Come here for all the Japanese comfort foods - pressed sushi , bento sets, yakitori . I'd like to frame the menu it's so good!

The miso udon and fried buta juto was really good! Earl grey tea ice cream taste very strong so if you don't drink earl grey often, you might get turned off by its taste. It has a floral aftertaste.

Friendly staff , but an intimidating menu if you're going for the first time. Don't be afraid of the egg custard because it's the actual best.

My knowledge of authentic Japanese food is limited, but the food here is delicious & comforting. I love a place that serves good fish . It's winter now, so they also have hot wine on the drink list. :P

For dinner don't miss the Tsukune- chicken meatball to start. It's in the Yakitori Ju box for lunch . Kaasan Ni is great for lunch or dinner . Listen to the waiter for specials & take their advice

Amazing experience. Real Japanese food . First time. Not sure how to describe. Just go. With an open mind. Kaasan Ni was recommended to me by a local for next time.

Everything looks good. I have sushi and sashimi combo set with udon and chawanmushi (Japanese steam egg ). Fish are really fresh and good quality.

Best authentic tonkatsu in the City hands down. Waiting for the new West Village outpost to open up.

Love this place. Really solid Japanese food with good variety. I usually get the chirashi set but the pork cutlets are also amazing. Reasonably priced for great quality Japanese food . Super crowded !

This is one of my favorite Go-to places to eat. Always solid, consistently good, meals, whether it’s the one pot meals, yakitori , sushi , lunch or dinner , never disappoints.

This meal was a replica of what I ate in Kyoto last summer. Very authentic . Love it

Amazing sets for dinner with so much yummy food for a reasonable price. There's katsu in different ways and also the salads are tasty.

Hanabi don=screamingly fresh served with side of steamed egg custard , vege tofu miso soup and vege pickles . Bit pricey at $27 but authentic atmosphere, staff and ambience. Quality not quantity here.

Love the Shima Hokke. It's a homey meal, fish like your mom would make. I always get it and it's always good! Also for lunch , I love the Mini Salmon Don set that comes with a side of soba noodles .

Best, authentic home cooking Japanese food ! Cozy and great for dates. Everything here is tasty, but the fish sets are amazing. The yuzu and fuji apple sorbets are refreshing and underrated.

The katsu toji is one of the best things I've ever had, it was amazing. The ambience is nice and tips aren't required so you have a set price.

Miso Katsu Don – the stuff on the right is part of a "set": soup , pickled veggies and savory egg custard . Delish but way too much food for one. Get it to share.

Excellent yakitori & beautiful presentation. Everything was delicious, felt like we were having a tasty modern Japanese meal in Tokyo. The mackerel was especially spectacular.

Tonyu Nabe is my recent favorite. I would recommend almost everything on the menu.

Wait time could take be insane but perfect for an one person dinner , I've always ordered the chirashi which is awesome, but everything else look great too.

Delicious and fresh sashimi ! Really pleasant and attentive service . Hot towels given pre-eating!

Portions are humongous. The hot Yuzu drinks are outstanding. We had both the fish and chicken (on top of everything) and they were both terrific. Great spot all around.

A hidden gem on 18th street nearby a few of my favorite places like City Bakery and Paper Presentation. Large portions of delicious Japanese food that come in cute lunch sets. Friendly staff !

Whole place is an adventure.Everything we got = fantastic. Yakatori Chicken meatballs , chicken thigh , mini sashimi bowl and soboro kan (minced chicken w rice , onion . Great place to try something new

Best Japanese place in the area! I can say with the menu set you can skip appetizers , but order one to share anyways. And the flavor of the rice is just incomparable.

The lunch specials are outstanding, worth the money and quick! The small bowl of salmon sashimi over rice and udon was so wonderful! The egg custard is also so wonderful!

All sorts of great japanese comfort food . A tad pricy but it sure is good. I'd definitely get the Oyakodon and some yakitori !

Delicious and most satisfying Japanese food . Try the sushi salmon bowl, including miso soup and egg custard ❤️

Excellent service and good quality for the price. The salt mackerel was very traditional. Great tonkatsu selection

A fancier version of a Japanese teishoku (set meal ) restaurant . My favorites are the set meals with fish . Food is delicious in a homestyle way.

Everything was amazing. We had a combo of skewers sashimi and miso , all were fantastic. Plus a complimentary cup of tea at the end!

Mini Soboro Don set. Shredded chicken over rice with extras (miso soup , custard and pickled veggies ). Tasty!

one of my favorite restaurants in chelsea. great food, good prices, and great service. the mackeral dishes are my favorite but everything is good.

I ordered Maguro Yamakake( Fin Tuna&Sea Urchin Salad ) as appetizer and Salmon Saikyo Set as main dish. Both were very delicious, very Japanese!

Great Japanese comfort food . Gluten-free friendly b/c they use rice starch instead of wheat flour in many of their dishes: chicken tatsuta & home made tofu . Delish! :)

Fried chicken is ???????? great for solo or group dining

Don't get there too late because some of the best items like the homemade tofu will be all gone.

All the tonkatsu and gyokatsu are amazing. ???? Also, delicious set menus at great value !

Order the kaisen don set and chicken wing yakitori (shio or salt are both good)...only things I'd pass on here: Beef/Cheese croquettes and meatball yakitori

Awesome spot for an early lunch . Closer to noon the line isn't as bad. Get the tofu salad to share. You won't regret it. Love all the lunch specials and hotpots .
