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!

An absolute amazing place. We have been coming here for 10 years and the food has gotten better and better. The fact that the owners know you by name and know what you want is just amazing. Get sushi. Any kind of sushi here is super fresh and tasty. Pickled ginger side is great.

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!

Great local sushi restaurant! The ambiance is intimate and the staff is highly attentive. We started with getting the jalapeno yellowtail (spicy and great), sushi pizza (amazing), and the tempura shitake (good). We then got the 150 sushi boat with chefs choice. They also have 100 and 120 versions. Everyone agreed the boat was a lot of fun and delicious, and filled everyone up. We had 5 people. Great choice for a group. We ended the meal with a mix of the green tea and mango mochis, which were good as always. Definitely try out Ota Ya if you're looking for a new local sushi place around Newtown / Yardley!
