Ootoya Union Square - New York

The portion of tonkatsu was quite small, but it was delicious.

Overall, the experience was enjoyable, but the grilled fish was overcooked and resembled a piece of charcoal.

The Wagyu soup and uni salmon roe were exceptional, but unfortunately, they are no longer on the menu and have been replaced by Washu beef. The grilled fish has also been substituted by a much smaller fillet, and there's no sashimi offered anymore. Additionally, the dessert portions are noticeably smaller. Overall, I would rate my experience 5 stars for what I received, but I'd give only 4 stars for the current offerings.

The Japanese cuisine here is exceptional—far superior to your average sushi restaurant.

The portion sizes were incredibly generous! I highly recommend the sukiyaki beef!
