We are big omakase fans of Cafe Sushi in Cambridge and Sushi of Gari in NYC. So we are not strangers to creative sushi. So we thought we should try O Ya. Boy were we disappointed.This is not a high end Japanese place, not by any means. I would argue this is not even a Japanese place.Sure they serve sushi and the menu is filled with Japanese names. But the service, standard, sense, and value proposition is empathically not Japanese.The nigiri is all pre sliced. There is no art. It's just a fast moving assembly line. The sushi plates sometimes sit on the counter for a few minutes before a waiter comes to pick up and deliver. The rice was mushy. In the end we were counting our lucky stars we decided not to order omakase. We paid a total of 280 for 2 pax. We would have been livid paying for omakase and receiving whatever we received.Come here if you enjoy super loud music, creative tasting food (sometimes tasty, sometimes not), ok service, and decidedly un Japanese sushi experience.Will not return and cannot recommend.

I have never seen individual hot pots so if you are a germaphob, this is the place for you!There are assortments of meats including lamb and waygu beef, seafood, and vegetables that you can order with your hot pot. There are also many side dishes. I had quail eggs and tripe - yummy!It was my first time there so I didnât know you can just go with the House broth for free. Instead, we paid $4 for the mushroom broth. You can also get different broths like Chinese herb and kimchi and a few others.Overall, it was very good and not that expensive since it is in Chinatown.

This is a great Peruvian/Japanese restaurant. The restaurant fit out is stylish and there was a great buzz. With inspiration from South America the tapas style sharing menu had everything from sushi, sashimi, to yakatori and katsu dishes. The cocktail list had the usual classics and a great selection of pisco cocktails. The selection of sakes was small but of good quality. The grilled octopus, lobster ceviche and pork belly katsu were exceptional. Our wait staff were pleasant and nothing was a problem. All in all a great night!
