First let me just say, it’s the most nondescript restaurant I’ve ever been to. It’s a little off the path and if you aren’t looking for it, you’ll walk right by. But once you’re inside it’s really beautiful. Soft lighting and a seat at the bar proved a great start to the evening. We were first greeted by the General Manager, which we thought was a great touch. Then came our fabulous server Anna. She knew every dish and was able to explain in great detail. We ordered about 14 courses to share and she brought them out one after the other. I really can’t say enough about her! Now the food. Oh my the food. My friend’s favorite dish was the squid ink noodles with fried octopus and moving fish scales. I personally loved the beef tartar tacos and fried oyster with squid ink foam. It was rounded off with the most divine cheese for dessert and donuts with tea infused caramel sauce (still drooling). The only thing we didn’t care for was the fried chicken. It was good, but the seasoning can be a little off putting. Other than that it was a beautiful night. We highly recommend this restaurant, especially the corner seats at the bar (best view)!!!

We experienced the 17 course tasting menu with sake pairing. The courses were typically a single, perfect piece of sushi that as the meal progressed ended with wagyu beef and a small desert. Every bite was sublime, the service was impeccable and unlike other tasting menus I've tried in the area I felt indulged rather than grotesque when we'd finished. The experience wasn't cheap, nor should it be. This is a rare treat and all involved should be well rewarded for their skills.

Had the grand omakase here. Was definitely pricey but also a great experience. All of the fish was great quality and the cooked dishes were delicious as well! Didn't have a single part of the meal that I didn't enjoy!

Dining here is quite the experience! You can tell the chef(s) put a lot of thought into fusing different tastes and flavors. O-Ya really is in a league of its own, as I can think of no other place that is on par with this establishment. Just to be clear though, you are definitely paying for this unique experience! Expensive, but excellent.

Unique tasting food. The environment is a little too dark, hard to read menu. We took two courses of grand omakase. It is hard to describe the tastings... I love Japanese food, but these food should be called European inspired Japanese food or something, I would not say it’s authentic Japanese food. The service was great. One start down because it’s too pricy.
