Ootoya - Union Square is a Japanese restaurant that offers a variety of authentic dishes in a cozy, child-friendly atmosphere. The interior is clean and visually appealing, with soft music and pretty light fixtures creating a comfortable environment. The staff is warm and friendly, greeting guests in Japanese and providing fast service. The menu is extensive, featuring options like teishoku and limited vegetarian choices. Recommended dishes include the crispy and juicy katsu, onsen eggs, and potato beef croquettes. The food is fresh, beautifully prepared, and delicious, making it popular for quick lunches or leisurely dinners. Guests often enjoy the salmon meal with multi grain rice and onsen tamago with salmon roe, as well as the Yosenabe Set with truffle dashimaki, which is known for its rich and creamy flavor. The Autumn Gozen set is also highly praised for its high quality, with plenty of food, including sides like miso soup and sashimi. Service is generally quick, and the restaurant has a lot of seating inside. While some note that prices are a bit high, many feel the quality and quantity justify the cost. Ootoya is considered a hidden gem that provides an authentic taste of Japan right in the heart of NYC, making it a place many want to return to. During hotter months, the atmosphere can be affected due to the AC not working well when crowded, but overall, the experience remains well-regarded.
