" Ootoya is a wonderful spot, though I think it can be a little bit overrated depending on what you order. The beef curry I had was rich but not as exciting as I had hoped. Nevertheless, the hospitality was top-notch. I really enjoyed the calm setting and the genuine Japanese decor. All in all, a decent dining experience with some quality food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Ootoya last night. While the food was tasty, especially the salmon don, I found the service to be lacking. It took a while to get the attention of the waiter for more water and my bill. The decor is lovely, giving a true Japanese feel, but I wish the staff was a bit more attentive to enhancing the experience. I might come back for the food but would hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Ootoya was a blend of disappointment and delight. The mix of flavors in the beef sukiyaki I ordered was excellent, but I felt the portions could have been more generous. The service was attentive but required a gentle nudge for requests. The ambience created a nice Japanese vibe, which I appreciated. It might take another visit for a clearer impression. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Ootoya due to its reputation for authentic Japanese food. I ordered the katsu curry, and while it was delicious, I found the portion to be on the smaller side for the price. The atmosphere was indeed delightful and made me feel like I was in Japan. Overall, I enjoyed the meal but felt a bit underwhelmed by the portion size. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Ootoya after craving sushi and Japanese style food while in NYC. Their rolls were fresh and flavorful! The traditional Japanese decor added to the experience; it was beautiful, relaxing, and immersive. The staff were polite and attentive, which made ordering easy. Would definitely love to return and introduce some friends to this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ootoya on a recommendation and was not disappointed! The ambiance was fantastic, and I felt transported back to Japan while dining here. I tried various dishes, including the tonkatsu and the various appetizers. Everything tasted fresh, but I felt a bit underwhelmed by the onigiri, which lacked flavor. Nevertheless, I would recommend giving this place a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Ootoya surpasses expectations for Japanese cuisine in Times Square. Everything from the garlic fried rice to the grilled fish stole the spotlight! Impeccable service with a quick turnover, which is a plus. I didn't even mind the potentially lengthy wait as good things come to those who can be patient. Every plate was a work of art! " (*Curated Review*)
