They do take reservations here on Resy despite their website saying they are walk-in only. The scallops sharing plate was excellent. I also got the spicy noodz with shrimp - everything was great except there was no hint of spice at all in the dish. Ambiance was nice and very unassuming from the outside

Recommend the spicy noodz but the joutine was ok.

Hipster dive bar with fantastic food and drinks.
Oy Bar has been on my list for quite sometime and so glad I finally got to check it out.
Very unassuming from the outside and frankly most of the inside. It’s definitely a dive bar in most aspects but the menu and the vibe - we sat next to two actresses, one pretty well known.
Highly recommend making a reservation because we came on a Wednesday and only got a table because we got there super early. The website says walk in only but they’re on Resy.
They have a fantastic spirits selection and their specialty cocktails were super creative and fun. My favorite was the Lightworks which has Reposado and Dill pickle brine. It has the perfect amount of “pickle” to make it interesting but is otherwise very well balanced.
Even if you’re not a big drinker, come for the food! Much like the cocktails, the food menu is eclectic, innovative, and delicious. One of our friends is a vegan and it was also very vegan friendly.
Of the items we tried: Mushroom chili oil salad - 5/5 new item on the menu, umami bomb with slight hint of spice that anyone can handle, vegan Spicy noodz - 5/5 perfectly bouncy noodles with a rich, almost earthy tomato garlic sauce and chili oil, also not too spicy, vegan if you tell them to put the parmesan on the side, you can also add shrimp, we didn’t Chicken Donburi - 4.7/5 honestly don’t remember the dish well besides the fact that it was tasty Wagyu quesadillas - 4/5 great crust and dipping sauce
There were plenty of other items on the menu that I’d come back to try. I think in general they rotate the drink and food items often so the menu is always fresh and new.
Service was great, our host sat us down even though one or two of our party were still on their way. Our waiter was super chill and friendly and the chef came by at one point to talk to us.

As good as it gets…an unassuming street presence leads to a bar full of character and class. Bartenders who sling killer, unpretentious yet curated drinks, an eclectic menu with clear attention to detail, and an ambience that invites you to settle in. This spot is dialed in.

A review with a movie reference. Once upon a time in Mexico with Johnny Depp. The scene with the puerco pibil. The balance must be restored... Lol
Beyond amazing food. It's a very noisy place but the food makes up for it . Maybe some sound panels, some drapes will deaden the bouncy chatter. Other than that, I can't wait to come back!

There was a bartender there named Arash about 8 or 9 months ago. He was very scary and I was scared every-time I saw him. He made me have a nightmare and then I lost all my hair. He made a mean drink and was always very kind. Just really scary.

The food was delicious and unique with great attention to detail. The Peruvian scallops are spicy and prepared just perfectly.

Dive bar on the outside, Michelin star on the inside.
Fantastic food, friendly and attentive service; music is loud enough for privacy and to not feel stuffy but quiet enough that you don't have to shout

This place is delicious! Such a find in the valley. No reservations but if you show up at opening you’re guaranteed to get a seat. A lot of the dishes had an Asian feel a few with a kick of heat. The cocktails were wonderful. The bartenders attentive and friendly. You would think you’re entering into a dive bar but this place is anything but. 10/10 all around.

I guess the last time I was here was 3 years ago or so. And it was just a bar. Just a empty black hole. I was talking with a gentleman at Rocco's Tavern, and he was new to the area. I was telling him about some of the local watering holes. And it made me think of the Oyster House. After leaving Rocco's I had to go by and check it out and see what it has become. I was very impressed. I text my wife to let her know that, the Oyster House as we knew it, was serving food again. She came and joined me. Food was awesome, the place looked great and the staff was very accommodating. We will definitely be going back there.
Jimena and Andrea are always amazing , pleasant energy service always rapid and accurate. Cooks are phenomenal food always quality.

Exceptional Food. Very Cool Ambience. Extensive menu with choices for everyone. Each dish had such amazing flavors with elevated ingredients befitting a real culinary experience curated by Chef Jeff. The relaxed atmosphere features a long bar and mood lighting; perfect for a romantic date night, or gathering of friends. Service was attentive and swift. We will be back. Oy! , so many more dishes to try! Favorites: crisp artichoke, smoked trout, scallop crudo, hot pepper honey chicken, Thai herb sea bass! Delish!

HEADS UP: call ahead to confirm if the kitchen is open! They do NOT share this anywhere online, not even on their Instagram, just a sign on the outside door. Very disappointing!
