Ootoya Japanese Restaurant (Closed)

I had my friend's birthday celebration.Initially we wanted to have our dinner at a korean restaurant at Orchard Central recommended by one of us but in the end we sat for like 15-30 minutes, we decided to go for other options. In the end, we choose Ootoya Japanese restaurant for celebration. It's my all time favourite choice for homely made feel japanese cuisine. We managed to get a place for 8 pax and the servings are quite promptly. Photos of the foods that we ordered that night:-Sumibutadon s

Ootoya 大戶屋 is a popular teishoku-ya from Japan whish open it's 1st Singapore family-style restaurant in Orchard Central. It is accessible to nearest mrt station named Somerset Station. Orchard Central is just next to 313 Somerset and walking distance of 5 mins. The restaurant is located at level 8 of the building.I recommended my friends who came for holiday for a quick lunch here. I have been here for several times and the foods here does not disappoint me at all. This time round i am surprised

Had lunch with mama at Ootaya this afternoon. There wasnt a queue unlike what has been read in many reviews of the place. Maybe because we were there at 1230, the crowd started streaming in at 1pm. I had the popular Hokke or rather the Charcoal grilled Atka Mackerel while mama had the Torotoroni (Scallop with rice and Chicken n Touf fu soup) Hokke: I really didnt like this. Can someone enlighten me what is good this fish or dish. It was over grilled, resulting in it being burnt, not slightly bur

For a healthier choice, you may just be like me choose their cod fish dish which is cooked in sweet and sour sauce. The fish meat is really juicy and tender, and with no stingy smell in it. The sweetness and the sourness of this dish is just alright and goes really well with the fish meat. Added to that additional health factor, the restaurant has prepared this dish to go along with the brown rice instead of normal fragrant plain rice. The portion is just alright and you will not feel that y

I went to Ootoya for dinner with my friend, as there is no reservation available, so we waited for 20-30mins. We were there early on a Friday night but I still see crowds waiting to be seated... The service is good and satisfactory and we ordered: Charcoal Teriyaki Chicken Rice ($20 for set, $15 for ala carte). : The Chicken is delicious and goes well with the rice and grated daikon (radish). The Set comes with pickles, soup and boiled veg (lotus seed, carrot, beans and small slice of chicken).

was with friends and as usual we end up choosing japanese cuisine for dinner and ootoya was one of the top choices due to the nice and cheap food. i ordered the lemon chicken to tried, the sauce was not bad but it tasted sweeter than i expected but the portion was really generous. the side dish was cold egg plant which tasted slightly blend but it kind of complement especially with the strong flavour from the chicken. also you can choose other type of rice instead of the normal white rice which

saw my friend ordered this steam rice last time so decided to give it a shot. i was deciding between the oyster or shrimp steam rice but i ended up with the shrimp steam rice. the presentation look quite nice but not as appetising as what was shown in the menu and the portion was not very big. i have to say the taste was quite blend but may be nice for people who want to have a healthier diet

This is a memorable dining moment for me because I have suggested to celebrate one of my friend's birthday at this Ootoya outlet. I have tried the outlets at clementi mall and suntec city, and i really like the food and ambience at both outlets. And was told by a friend that orchard central outlet was actually the best among the three outlets. So decided to try it out during my friend's birthday. Since I was the one suggested this place, so I was there earlier to get the place first since reserv

the food at ootoya is really good, indeed just like what my friend said, they really served delicious japanese food. the quality of their food is indeed delicious. the cutlet is really to die for, it is fried till very crispy on the outside, when you take a bite, you can hear the crunch. inside meat is tender and juicy, such a good contrast of flavour. the entire set meal is very filing, you have rice, soup and side dish. so value for money and the service is awesome, did not have to wait long f

This time i went to orchard outlet to try I ordered oyster rice steamed in a bamboo pot, which came with a stew of fried chicken&vegetables,tasted just normal Also ordered their dessert ,a soy milk with brown sugar & an egg custard with burnt soya sauce ,The caramel is slightly salty edge. but very soft & silky smoothI find that their dessert is much nicer than their main dishesOverall i rate 6/10

Ootoya is a really lovely japanese restaurant at Orchard Central. The restaurant is divided into two sections, one where you dine on tables and chairs, and another where you take off your shoes and sit on the floor. The staff there are all very friendly, i've been there 3 times and all 3 times they never fail to greet you with lots of enthusiasm. And on our latest visit, one waiter even announced "this one old customer!". My favourite dishes there are their sashimi set which is very fresh. And t

Ootoya offers teishoku – set menus which usually consist of a main dish, rice, soup and small side dishes. I’m pretty impressed with an interesting factor that the count of calories is indicated in the menu for each dish. Woo! A good place for those on diet! Overall the concept is simple, healthy and affordable.Overall, I like the food in Ootoya and it has become a frequent dining place for me.The only complain I have is their queuing system. Ootoya is not advisable to visit if you have a big gr

My friend like Japanese food so we went to Ootoya Japanese restaurant for lunch. The place has a relaxed atmosphere upon entering. The place is decorated with simple furnishings like flowers in vase and low lightning. We decided to order the Breaded Pork set with eggs as the set comes with an appetizer and a soup. The scallop rice looks delicious on the menu so we ordered it too. The waitress who is a filipino is friendly and patient enough to wait for us to take our order. When the set arrived

The ambiance of the place was really nice and unique textured wallpaper and tatami mats, much like an authentic Japanese home.I ordered the hamburger steak which was pretty good. It came with serving of mash potato and veggies, as well as a bowl of soup, rice, and pickles.Overall, a great place to bring your date to, after shopping and a movie at crowded orchard road.

Been there a couple of times, most of the main courses are nice. The portion can be a little too much at times. My friend ever ordered the steak burger on a hotplate and felt full for the next 3 days! I recommend one of their signature sets (image attached), it comes with a croquette which has abit of meat and pumpkin filling that is very delicious.They do sell nattos too, which I think not many places sell. The desserts on the other hand, were just average.
