The food is fresh, beautifully prepared, and delicious, making it a popular choice for quick lunches or leisurely dinners. Guests often highlight the salmon meal with multi grain rice and onsen tamago with salmon roe, as well as the Yosenabe Set with truffle dashimaki, known for its rich and creamy flavor. While some note that the prices are a bit high, they feel the quality and quantity of the food justify the cost. Ootoya is considered a hidden gem that delivers an authentic taste of Japan right in the heart of NYC, making it a place many want to return to. Although the atmosphere can be affected during hotter months due to the AC not working well when crowded, the overall experience remains well-regarded.
