What People Are Saying About O Ya Restaurant

The Editor

Gerrish Lopez

Citysearch

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.

Beautiful and delicious food

by loftladycheryl

Fabulous menu! The venison was divine! Everything is created so beautifully that I almost (*almost*) did not want to eat; I had to admire the beauty of each plate as each dish came out. Must order: sea bass, foie gras, venison, and the mini omelet with truffle oil. Also, our server helped us pick just the perfect sake. We had a wonderful meal. We sat at the chef's counter, which at first I wasn't sure if we'd like, but it was so nice watching the amazing creations happening right in front of us. Get there soon!!!

  • Pros: Perfection on small plates
  • Cons: pricey

EXTREMELY RUDE

by lak000

Have tried to make a reservation at this restaurant several times, both times i believe I spoke to the same woman and she was extremely rude. I am from New York City and know the difference between a "wanna be" restaurant and a restaurant that can pull that off. O-ya: stop trying to be something you are not, customers are key- always keep that in mind.
