LCK was so boring before but after D2 opened there are so many new hip eateries.
Ootoya is not new but I went there because I love their Japanese food.
The food is authentic as lots of Japanese people dine there and the Chefs are Japanese.
The only difficulty I have is the menu, it is quite difficult to comprehend and it is in a similar format to Coco Ichibanya so I wonder if they belong to the same group.
I ordered the hijiki seaweed rice with an appetizer containing all the slimy stuff like moutain yam, natto beans, egg yolk, okra and tofu.
It doesnt have much taste but I find it comforting like baby food.
Adding soy sauce improves the taste.

The food at Ootoya used to be good but not anymore.

There used to be branches at Causeway Bay and TST which have closed down.

As I was in the area I dined at Ootoya.

The rice was cold and the tofu had a weird bitter taste to it.

Soy sauce was needed to balance out the weird bitter taste of the tofu.

Spoon:
The spoon wasn't very clean because it had some dried water stains on it.

I have been here numerous times, and the food is consistently good, however there are less choices than before.

The fried chicken in black vinegar is superb, the chicken remains crispy, and the vinegar is refreshing.
The big side of finely chopped cabbage balances out the meal with an intake of vegetables.
The other vegetables with the chicken match as well, such at the lotus roots, and sweet potato.

For the rice, I opted for the seaweed rice, there are many other rices that all taste good too such as the rice with yam, and rice with tiny fishes.

Ootoya bomb box: Japanese pearl rice topped with chopped okra, beans, tuna sashimi, grated Japanese nagaimo (mountain yam), raw egg and Natto (Fermented soy beans). All the ingredients have one thing in common, being slimey. The fermented soybeans, were sticky too, and stuck together with spiderweb like strings. But the whole thing tasted really good, the rice was nice and soft, and could be slurped with all the slimey ingredients.

Fried chicken in black vinegar sauce: Rice with fried chicken pieces in light coating, the sauce was tangy, and refreshing, and the vegetables accompanying the dish matched well, such as the lotus roots with a crisp taste.

Fried chicken with African sauce:
I wasn’t sure what to expect of this one, because its name isn’t very Japanese, but it tasted similar to the black vinegar sauce one, not as sour, and not spicy as stated.

Anyway everything tasted good, the only thing that could be improved would be supplying spoons, as this is a popular question arising from customers. Also those irritating flies could perhaps be exterminated!!
