This place is so nice and the food is amazing! But the hospitality is the best part! Cindy and her family are all so sweet and we will miss going there. We hope they will come back because this is the best sushi I have ever had. Such a nice family run business I have been to. Good luck to you guys in the future! ❤
These pictures have the Spicy Rock Roll, The spicy California Roll, Shrimp Shumai, and Gioza. 1,000/5 stars! AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!!!

This is my family’s favorite local sushi restaurant. Everything about their service and the quality of their food is absolutely astounding. Marie and Cindy are such lovely people and we are always happy to catch up with them when we come to visit for another delicious sushi meal. We’ve been coming here for years and they’ve memorized our order and always give us the extra side of ginger that we need! Our favorite is the sashimi salad with seaweed and the spicy rock roll. I highly recommend trying this spot if you’re ever in the area!

The reviews here are misleading - people commenting wild things, either about dishes that confused them and not understanding that you can’t return a dish you ordered (embarrassing), or with the expectation of omakase from a small town Japanese restaurant….
Delicious food here. Delicious sushi, salads, katsu, etc… people should just be normal and enjoy good things 👍

Best sushi in the area hands down and the owner could not be nicer.

I ordered the salmon skin salad and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The salmon skin was overcooked and had an unpleasant smell that made it seem not fresh. I politely let the server know that I did not like the dish, but the response was unprofessional and came across as rude. I was told that because I ordered it, I had to pay for it. Overall, both the food quality and the customer service were disappointing.

Sushi did not taste fresh. Tom yum soup was not good either.

We used to go to the Lambertville location all the time. Once a week for years. They closed. We went to the Newtown location. Very friendly waitress. Byob. Sushi was not really cold. Don’t like that. Rolls were good. Mixed experience

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!

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!
