This place is now under new ownership and is now called the New Oyagi operated by Masa. Give it another chance because the food here is terrific. We've heard about the past owner and the stories of poor service etc. etc. But it's different now. Give Masa a chance. Killer ramen with a tasty broth that is so good when it's cold outside. I haven't found anything that compares. And the great thing is, it's now open for lunch.

very disappointed – I would never go back to the restaurant. Some of you who know about the system of keeping a bottle of sake or shochu if you are not able to finish it should not expect the restaurant to keep the remaining. They drink it or serve it to other customers. I have some witnesses. I thing the wait persons know exactly what I am talking about. No more Oyaji.....

A Japanese Pub, and I Like It for What It Is. – We jumped in after taking an evening stroll, and when the line wasn't as long, and we had a good time. Good sushi, funny chef, good ramen, but really busy so the wait staff was a bit behind with little things like water. Regardless, the food was good (I gots to have my soup wid ma fish), the atmosphere was comfortable, and my girlfriend (who is a tuna afficionada) enjoyed it, so we're going back. I'm not sure I would agree that the place was "elegant" as described by the Cityse... read more

great food, awful service and wait – like the previous reviewer, my boyfriend and i had the same awful experience with waiting for a table. we waited half an hour for a table, while there was an open table for 20 of the 30 minutes we were waiting! this table was apparently reserved for a couple who already had seats at the sushi bar and wanted to enjoy the rest of their dinner, the non-sushi, at a table instead of the bar. this all occurred while 4 other parties were also waiting for tables. for the last 10 minutes of our wa... read more

Slightly above average sushi, way below average service – The first time I went there it was with my GF and it was very average. My GF is Japanese so she would know. She said the atmosphere reminded her of a social type bar/restaurant from Japan where college kids went to go snack and drink. The food and sushi was relatively fresh and a bit better then the typical Japanese place around here. The biggest issue the first time was that it was rather hard to get the waitresses attention and the food came out in a rather slow fas... read more

great place to hang out, eat, drink and be merry! – love this place!!! great food - including fresh sushi (best on tuesdays) and izakaya (japanese pub) dishes, fun ambience, attentive and friendly staff, easy parking, the list goes on and on... you can even buy a big bottle of sake, and if you can't finish it, you can write your name on a tag, and it'll be there for you the next time you go in! it's fun watching Oyaji (the owner and head sushi chef) accept glasses of sake from the patrons. before you know it, he'll be out fr... read more

LETS GET DRUNK! – I was introduced to this place a while ago and ever since, I have been coming back. Their menu is almost exactly what you would find at a real Japanese Izakaya. Their Buta-no-kakuni or the Hirame-no-usuzukuri is something you will definitely have to try. They have a bunch of authentic dishes that you can find no where else. A word of advice: buy the owner a few drinks and he will serve you up some off-the-menu dishes. After your done drinking up the japanese beer on tap, finish up your night with a bowl of ... read more

Good sushi, slow service. – I tried Oyaji for the first time the other night. The sushi was good and fresh but service was really slow. Also, there was a drunk, obnoxious guy there who apparently was friends with the wait staff? It was very loud in general in the restaurant. Prices were fair. I might go back.
