Ootoya Chelsea

Food is well prepared, fresh, and tasty. Service very professional. Large space with bar and table seating. They have a second floor which we do not like to be seated in as it gets warm and service is not as attentive. Be sure to order the chestnut dessert, they run out pretty quickly. The interior is nice however the lighting could be better as they mostly use white vs warm lighting. Highly recommended.

Very authentic Japanese cuisine. The menu has such a wide variety of options ! I didn’t try the sushi. I’ll try next time… I recommend the Ootoya Yosenabe which contains multiple fish and meats. Delicious and varied. Very efficient and friendly service.

Good deal on lunch set and food was delicious. Bright and clean inside and staffs are friendly. Good portion on the entree in the lunch set. It comes with Japanese white rice, miso soup, house salad, and a side of Japanese vegetables.

Ootoya is a nice place for Japanese comfort food, but I would not recommend any of the sushi or sashimi here. First, the good: the miso black cod is buttery and flaky. The a la carte mini curry was solid — warm, sweet, and comforting. A great deal for only $6. These dishes gave me a good impression and I would return here for the hot bowls, cooked fish, and maybe even noodles. Now, the bad: the crispy rice sushi was an abomination. The two layers of rice (one being regular rice and the second being crisped rice) made the sushi terribly incohesive. I could barely pick up the sushi in one piece. Worse, some of the crisped rice pieces were soggy. The fish were of a fine quality, but it was hard to overlook the strangeness of their take on crispy rice. And now, the meh: the toro salmon sashimi ponzu appetizer was fine, but ultimately pretty disappointing. It’s described as seared fatty salmon sashimi, so I was expecting a melty, buttery experience. Unfortunately, it was more like fully cooked salmon in ponzu — tasty, but not at all what I was expecting.

Ordered their Teishoku sets. Always feel homey - service and food has always been consistently great. Quality of their food is top. Only thing we noticed is that tip is not included anymore (used to be). Their iced genmaicha and iced sencha was great on a hot day. They even refill the teapot , so that was pleasant.

Beautiful atmosphere & great food. I had the lunch special “Gindara Miso Set” that comes with fish, rice, miso soup, salad, and two side dishes. Fish was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. Definitely recommend.

The lunch menu was good! We were able to walk in on a Saturday around noon. A well balanced meal when you want a healthier option. The staff was attentive and we overall had a good experience.

Great sets. We ordered a set for kids that arrive to the table on a shuttle spacecraft. My sons loved it.
