"O Ya" was recommended to me by a friend who knows I love Japanese and experimental food and I must admit being a tad disappointed. Some of the food combinations were particularily successful such as the "Scallop and Foie Gras" dispensing a velvety sweetness to the palate. Others less so. The "Porcelet" ( piglet to you and I ) was... more

on a non-descript street, O Ya is a quaint place with amazing fresh and inventive Japanese fare. excellent sake list. knowledgeable waitstaff. nice cozy decor. like other high end sushi places satisfying your hunger (esp. if it's big) will cost ya $$$$. still well worth it. a destination place. more

First came here when it was newly opened. Location is a bit sketchy. Did not know what to expect at all. Pretty insane "japanese" food - refined, precise and creative.

Supposed to be the most popular, but if you are a traditional Japanese food lover, this place is too experimental, and the results are unpredictable. There is no convential Japanese sushi, so everything is risky. Plus everything is way too expensive. more

Wow, what an experience. We have a new restaurant on the very top of my restaurant experiences. To start off with, TripAdvisor has the location wrong on their map, hopefully they fix that up. Luckily I checked the o ya website before heading there. Atmosphere is relaxed, appears to be a converted wearhouse with exposed brick and a nice big... more
