I'm missing Jap food so bad but my wallet has been pretty thin lately so...we picked Ootoya for an economical and reliable choice, and tucked right in. Since all the regular tables were full, we were given 2 seats at this secluded counter. All the better, because it was much quieter, and we could watch the chef cook (tamago). I wonder if you could request a seat here. After carefully inspecting ever offering on the menu, I decided NOT to order one of my all-time faves, but picked something I'd n

None of the elements are particularly flavorsome. On top of a generous serving of pearl rice (yay!!) sits boiled okra, lightly seasoned cooked seaweed, shredded nori, natto, a blob of slimy grated yam, and a raw egg plopped in the middle. No seasonings whatsoever. It was as bland as anything. Given that I don't like raw egg (which I removed before diving in), there really wasn't much flavor to my bowl. So I liberally applied this sweet soy sauce on my don, which improved the taste slightly. For those who don't care for slimy food at all... stay away, because that's the sensation in every bite. Even your lips become gluey and sticky.
The good thing about this meal is the alleged health benefits. That's why I brought myself to finish almost everything. And it was surprisingly filling! Bland, flavorless lunch except the slightly putrid natto...even if it's traditional and authentic, me boat no float.
Conclusion:
Will return to Ootoya for other dishes, which are pretty decent. Glad I tried something new though.
