Ootoya

An okay meal, not great. Go in with an open mind. The oyakodon tasted more like teriyaki chicken with fried egg on top. If you like teriyaki chicken, it's okay. But if you're expecting legitimate oyakodon, you'd be disappointed. The fried stuff and grilled fish were okay. Best thing was the Hot Udon with Bonito flakes. These were spot on.

Average experience. The area is wide with a main seating area. Some of the guest needs to enter into the tatami which I find it inconvenient, inside corner there is a seating area. Overall, it’s a very cramped space (not suitable for people with mobility disabilities). The food is average but the quantity is big - A lot of carbohydrates 😅.

Ootoya is a restaurant for premium Japanese teishoku meals. This restaurant need a Reno kind of run down dated. Staff are overall alright just that they may be stress over many walk-in n take away meals by delivery portals. Just saw staff with a slight face off with app delivery personnels’, is really no fault of her. Yes the meals choice ingredients are authentic n delicious. The unit is just opposite keisuke n this placed them in some disadvantaged compromising position like managing the crowds.

1st visit.★★★★☆ Their chirashi was delicious, but their soba noodle should be good but not so that day maybe due to the way of cooking soba noodle, I guess. Their pumpkin croquet was also tasty, but too pricy, personally I felt. ———————— ★☆☆☆☆ 2nd visit. Not worth for chirashi don only. So disappointing. Miserable potion of ingredients. Just feel like eating vinegar-taste rice. Never go again... ———————— ★★☆☆☆ Visited in late November, 2021. The quality was dropped dramatically. It seems all the staff have changed. Personally recommendable to visit other restaurants, to be honest.
