Editorial Review for O Ya – by Gerrish Lopez

In Short
Not for the faint of wallet or large of appetite, O Ya provides an indulgent dining experience. The dimly-lit, NYC-chic dining area features a sushi bar that opens to a kitchen where modern, sophisticated creations such as Kumamoto oysters with watermelon pearls, foie gras in balsamic chocolate kabayaki, and unagi nigiri with basil are created.
Presentation is an equal part of the experience, as each (small) morsel is artfully arranged on unique dinnerware. A wealth of sakes both hot and cold is available, with guidance from an in-house sake sommelier.

User Reviews for O Ya

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Sick and tired of eating the same sushi? Like to try new and innovative ways of making sushi? Well, look no further, come down to O Ya where the sushi is oh so fresh and oh so delicious. The presentation is so beautiful, it's almost looking at a piece of artwork at the museum of fine arts. The foie gras sushi with balsamic chocolate kabayaki is a must try! Don't forget to try the chu toro with cilantro pesto and Peruvian chilies. Fair warning though, not for the light of the wallet, and the proportions are very small, but worth it. =)

Pros: Great food, great service

Cons: Hard to find at first and hard to get parking

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Completely amazing place -- O Ya totally lives up to its reputation. The food was jawdropping. The chef/owners are incredibly hands-on and make the most gracious hosts, and our server was awesome, too. One of the best dining experiences we've ever had.
