Ota-Ya is hands down the best sushi restaurant in Newtown! The sushi is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can taste the love and care the staff put into every dish, and their kindness and warmth make the experience even more special. The service is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The Spicy Rock Roll was pure heaven — perfectly balanced with just the right kick. If you love sushi, this is the place you need to try!

Great appetizers, sashimi and rolls, very fresh. Seafood soup is too spicy.

Best sushi ever! Very friendly owners! Highly recommend. Also, try the New Style Sashimi (appetizer) and ask for the chef’s special roll (we had the One Time Roll).

Tried all the sushi restaurants in the area and this is the best! Family atmosphere, they get to know you by name and welcome you each time. Love the variety of sushi, they will customize as you like and it's BYO, which I love. Only improvement would be to renovate to make it look a little nicer, but not if the prices will increase:) I am hesitant to recommend it more, for fear that it will become too crowded. LOVE THIS PLACE!

OT-YA has the best sushi in Newtown. It’s ten times cheaper than some Asian restaurants in Newtown. The sushi is fresh. The staff is friendly. I would go there week.
Been coming here for years and it has always been amazing. When the owner Marina knows you by first name when you walk in l, that says something. Can’t go wrong with anything you get here.You HAVE TO get basil sandwich either tuna or salmon.

I think this is the hidden gem of Newtown. It's a little tucked away but easy to find. The owner, Cindy, took our take-out order over the phone. She was friendly and attentive and helpful. The restaurant is small but very cozy. We ordered a bunch of different sushi rolls, Udin noodles, and chicken teriyaki. Everything was delicious and prepared perfectly. As stated, we ordered take out, but will definitely be back to eat in. If you're in the mood for sushi or just Japanese in general, skip the grocery store pre-packaged rolls and plan a trip to OTa-Ya.

Love love love this restaurant! We were told that the one in NJ is better but we couldn't disagree more. The ambiance is way better here, the service was fantastic and the food was so incredibly delicious! We will be back, for sure. In fact, I can't wait to go back! ❤️❤️
