Looks like they expanded their menu and changed the ambiance of the place! Loved the new revamped menu and it features a lot more hot dishes. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly and the fish is soo fresh. The portions are pretty generous and it's our go to spot whenever we're in the neighborhood. read more

After our recent trip to Japan my husband and I were craving quality sushi and had read great things about Oita. Happy to say they were true and we will definitely be back! Above all, the fish quality and freshness is excellent and the nigiri felt especially authentic (not too much rice, sizable cuts of fish done in the traditional style). The akami and hamachi belly were particularly great. The toro scallion and king salmon crunch hand rolls were also favorites. Our opinions were more split on the spicy tuna crispy rice (I loved, husband was more lukewarm) and dumplings (obviously very freshly prepared but quite fried). The overall ambience is airy, quiet and calm and service was warm and fast. We would have loved to try the cocktails as they sound really interesting -- next time! read more

Beautiful space with fun sushi rolls in Park Slope! The inside of the restaurant is very sleek and minimalist with nice wooden accents- very calming. The space is pretty large, with a good amount of tables in addition to bar seating. I split the tuna crispy rice and the signature roll set and it was plenty of food for two. The signature roll set had an assortment of interesting and unique rolls ranging from truffle to mango- my fave was the New York crunch w potato crisps on top. The tuna crispy rice was also a bit different- served as a tartare w crispy rice chips for dipping. Very crispy and tasty though! Service was super attentive and very welcoming. Definitely will be coming back if I'm in the area. read more

Great vibes, amazing sushi, friendly service, and a strong happy hour. What more can you ask for? We loved the spicy yuzu drink from their happy hour! The sushi was fresh and very flavorful. The bites on their happy hour menu were also delicious and filling. I loved the spicy skewers and the pork dumplings. Great spot to have in brooklyn! read more

Beautiful, minimalist environment. Though it was so minimalist and quiet it was almost a litttle awkward. Omakase was delicious but not traditional in the sense that each piece of sushi was given to us all at once. I didn't love that and don't get why they couldn't just present each piece one at a time as it was prepared - we were sitting at the chef's bar anyway. The place was pretty empty when we went. The fire roll and happy salmon roll were my favorites. read more

Honestly, this is a solid local sushi spot. The fish was really fresh and nothing tasted fishy. Cuts were solid. I got the sashimi and sushi set, and was super happy. I love simple sushi (I gravitate towards sashimi or sushi). Service was slightly slow, but the servers were hustling. I had nothing going on, so it didn't bother me. Ambiance is really calm! I walked in to this cute Halloween background, and it has a minimalistic vibe, which was super perfect for me, after a busy day. Edit: the server was so nice and gave me a complementary beer. No complaints. Recommend to come if you are craving some sushi and calm ambiance. read more

Came here tonight to celebrate a friends birthday and between 4 people- this was the perfect amount of food! Interior is simple, classy and clean. They have seating for 4-6 people groups and or if you come in pairs or alone. I got a peach sour to start the night and I recommend coming during happy hour for a cheaper price! I will say that the price for their omakase was definitely easier on the wallet, but still pricey if you're watching your budget and could make do without an omakase experience. But tonight was a celebration and so we all got the Omakase and tonight's selections included quality pieces of Madai, Kanpachi, Akame, Shima Aji, Hotate, Fluke, Hamachi, Sake, King salmon, Toro, Uni and A5 wagyu as our last piece! Starting from top left-right, every piece was like a crescendo that led up to the A5 Wagyu with truffle and it was amazing! My personal favorites were the Kanpachi, king Salmon, Sake and Wagyu because they melt in your mouth and each fish was so clean and simple! *Every piece had a decent amount of wasabi beneath the fish and if you're not a big fan of it, I would suggest you make a note to your hostess!! After the omakase, it was hard to top that, but the signature set looked too good to not get! I was not wrong because it was a great end to the night! The filling for each roll were similar and the main difference was the toppings and fish, otherwise- you can expect avocado, cucumbers and mango! Overall, it is a great experience if you've never had omakase and feel too intimidated to sit at a bar countertop by yourself or by the price tag usually associated with omakases! read more

I came here for lunch on a chilly Friday. The restaurant is very open, airy and sparse. The staff were nice and welcoming. The lunch menu was very affordable, IMO. I had the salmon teriyaki which came with rice and picked veggies and roasted shishito peppers. Next time, I would try the omakase lunch special ($45). read more

Lunch omakase was such a good deal - $45 for 9 pieces of sushi (including toro) and a tuna tartare temaki! The service was impeccable - the only complaint was that the omakase took more than 30 mins to make (it was presented all at once). However, great neighborhood spot, fresh sashimi, and will definitely come back again read more

This is a fantastic sushi place that's very well priced! Genuinely one of my favorites of all time. All of the signature rolls are very unique and have amazing flavors. The tempura is also well done- not too heavy. The staff were all friendly and attentive, and our dinner was pretty quick. Plus, it's cute inside! read more

Oita Sushi - Signature roll and udon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Expensive for what it is. We had a reservation for the omakase at the bar. We were pretty upset when we found out that they don't offer the typical omakase experience and they just hand all the pieces to you on a plate now. That should have been disclosed on the reservation. Aside from that, each piece tasted mediocre and lacked flavor. The set A rolls were also not that great and tasted like cucumber/avocado rolls in disguise. The whole experience was expensive for what it was and was not worth it in my opinion. For the price, we could've gotten a true omakase experience somewhere else with fresher/better tasting food. The lighting in the restaurant was also extremely bright with no ambiance feel at all. read more

When you walk up to Oita, you will be greeted by a lovely stone arch entrance, well decorated, kitschy yet adorable. Soft fluorescent lights and light hardwood creates a calming atmosphere in which you will enjoy some of the best sushi the entire city has to offer. If you're considering this for date night, it's yes. Beware that Oita does add a little wasabi to many of their à la carte options. If you don't like spice, let them know and they will accommodate. Lastly, I want to shout out the staff for being extra nice and knowledgeable about what was being served for omakase and à la carte. These guys deserve high tips. read more

Such a good neighborhood find in Park Slope!! They re-did the interior, and it looks amazing. The staff is fast and exceptionally kind. The sushi tastes fresh and, for the quality, is very reasonably priced. I split the sushi roll sampler and the spicy tuna starter with a friend, and we throughly enjoyed both. read more

The service was great and our waiters were really nice about letting us try different sakes before committing to one. One of our party members was running a little late but they still let us sit and order, but even waited to start serving so we would get our food at the same time. Really intimate space with slight hint of minimalism combined with playfulness in the decor. We got the omakase and it was really great! The fish tasted really fresh and had so such refreshing/uplifting flavors. A nice addition to the park slope neighborhood. read more

Came here on a lunch date with my friends and we all got the Omakase + extra goods! Love the decor, white, sleek, minimal and open. Attentive wait staff, not hovering, but knows when you need extra refill, clearing small plates for new ones. Will this be your best omakase? No. The experience was nice, some pieces are better than others... I like my uni more sweet and wish the toro was on the fattier side... my friends enjoyed the entire omakase offering. We also loved the spicy tuna on crispy rice & shishito peppers! Nice date spot and friends gathering. read more

Oita opened during year 1 of the pandemic, and I'm so happy to have a fantastic sushi spot close to me. It's my special occasion spot... although it doesn't need to be, it's just I would spend all my $$$ here. I've gotten takeout for NYE and recently did the 16-course omakase experience on a Thursday night. We were the only ones partaking in that experience so it felt extra special! The fish is outstanding and compared to Manhattan spots, super affordable. Loved some of the heat added to some of the courses, but it wasn't what my partner was into, so it was really kind the chef was able to flavor them at different spice levels. And to top it all off, because we were there to celebrate a birthday, we got ice cream on the house (scoop each of green tea and brown sugar... both so good and great together)! Love the ambiance, and all the decor is minimalist yet tasteful. read more

We have loved OITA for several years now. The quality of the sushi and the hot dishes from the kitchen like the karage, is truly exceptional. We live in a city where you can enjoy some of the most amazing sushi on the planet. If you're a millionaire. At OITA , they pride themselves on first class sushi at a reasonable price. And now, we have another compelling reason to visit. Michelle, our server ! Thank you, Michelle, for taking care of us this evening. read more

Beautiful restaurant. Feels very clean, spacious and zen. They have clear dividers up inside between tables and 2 small tables outside. Ordering and payment are all done via QR code and service was good even though we were outdoors. To eat we had: Sparking yuzu drink: comes in a bottle. very sour but so refreshing in the summer weather. love that it's only slightly sweet. Spicy Tuna with Crispy rice: served like a tartare with 4 pieces of crispy rice. The rice gets stuck in your teeth but it's got great texture. very tasty! Triple Ceviche: LOVE THIS! the perfect salad for a summer evening and the plating is beautiful. Comes with salmon, tuna and yellowtail in a mustard dressing. love the crunchy topping! I had this as my main course and it was very filling. would definitely get this again! Curry Udon: Husband got this dish and really enjoyed the udon noodle. nice bouncy texture and the curry was good too. He's usually a big meat eater but he had no complaints with this dish even though there was no protein. will be back to try their signature rolls and temaki! read more

Decent omakase at a decent price! Is it the best omakase I've had? No, but I was also happy with my meal overall. The ambiance of the restaurant is super cute. The chefs are very responsive to what you want (I.e. I found the amount of wasabi they used a bit overpowering but they were happy to adjust to my tastes). The 15 course omakase is enough to leave you feeling comfortably full. I also ordered the spicy tuna with crispy rice, which was seasoned perfectly and I highly recommend getting. They have a nice sake selection too, again at a reasonable price. read more

Really happy they migrated from UES to Brooklyn, because the omakase was pure heaven. 15 courses for $95, and they have a cool cocktail menu. I'm terrible with the type of fish, but each piece was prepared with deliciousness and a level of creativity that transformed me away. Looking forward to the next birthday / special occasion for an excuse to come back :) read more

Came here for a quick lunch. Ordered the tofu, fish, and hand roll set. First and foremost, the hand rolls took longer than needed to arrive and when it did, it was the wrong order. Not only that, the waiter was lost. He brought us the sushi rolls set instead of the hand rolls set. When we alerted him of this, he had no idea what to do. What we found out actually happened was - he placed the wrong order for us. He tried to persuade us to keep the TWO orders of 4 sushi rolls. There was no way in hell I could finish that much food. Then we had to wait for them to prepare the hand rolls, prolonging the wait time once again. Now the hand rolls...thinking about it just makes me laugh. It's worse that the regular sushi spots that I get takeout from and way more expensive. The menu said crabmeat, but what it really was is imitation crabmeat - Kani. I was expecting real crabmeat. It just felt like they took a bunch of cheap ingredients, put it together, and tried to make it look fancy. I know they have an omakase but their hand rolls deter me from trying it out or even coming back at all for that matter. read more

One of the better Japanese option around Park Slope which offers omakase. The quality of the fish is fresh and their cooked items are also very good. Their kaarage chicken and the dashi tofu was a hit for my non-raw fish friends. The spicy tuna with crispy rice was very good as well. The omakase is not the best I've had but definitely a very good one. For $95, you get 15 pieces which is enough to fill you up without feeling sick and overstuffed. Sadly, they only offer mochi ice cream as dessert but you are surrounded by dessert places in the area so not a big deal. The tables are nicely spaced out (maybe from covid-days) and the staff is very friendly. read more

Shared the 20 piece sushi platter with my partner and everything was delicious (except for the temperature of the salmon which was extremely cold and that was unpleasant). Once that roll was allowed to get to a decent room temp. it was quite tasty. The agedashi was weak in flavor and tasted tasted more like soy sauce... But the tofu was nicely fried. That dish was served at room temp. and quickly became cold. The establishment itself made me feel like I was in a nursery or a pre-k of sorts which I didn't completely mind but it did explain all the babies/toddlers. I enjoy when a restaurant is quiet to be able to enjoy my time there better and or converse more comfortably. Luckily the children were well managed and the atmosphere was maintained during my visit. Overall it's nice to know there's a tasty joint in these parts when I'm catching a movie at nitehawk (food/drinks at that nh isn't worth spending adtl. monies on). The omakase is definitely next on my list to try. The chef seemed to enjoy introducing their creations and the dinners made exquisite expressions ^_^ read more

The Otia was not the best for the price. It has a super modern feel and the minute you walk in you feel like you're in a ER room. It's a little too bright for my liking, but some may enjoy the refreshing fluorescent light. My boyfriend and I were looking for quality sushi which they do have, but a little pricier for the portions. We got set A which came with spicy tuna crispy rice appetizer and 3 different set of rolls. In addition, 2 hand rolls, one yellowtail roll, Otoro appetizer, and a bottle sake which all came down to $202 with tip. They don't disclose the check just an FYI and give you a tablet to pay on with a suggested tip. read more

Quick rundown: good service accommodating large groups, real wasabi! Service: Dining out with large group can be difficult sometimes and adding a baby to the mix makes finding a suitable restaurant even more difficult. Oita NYC has a handful of partitioned smaller tables for groups of 2-4 if you stack tables. There are also two larger tables that can fit 6 people comfortably on benches. I had a large group reservation with 7 adults and 1 baby that ended up being 8 adults with a baby. They were able to able to let us move the two large tables together to have more comfortable seating. Timing of the food could have been better though. I get that we were a large group but there was only really one person make sushi related dishes. One person on our table did the omakase so he started getting food earlier which is okay. However the rest of the table just seemed to receive food as it was prepared. Our group didn't really care but some groups tend to like to wait for everyone to receive the food before eating. It was also surprisingly not busy on a Saturday night. The rest of the restaurant didn't really fill up entirely for the 2 hours we were there but there was quite a steady stream of customers picking up food to-go. Food: Tuna crispy rice - 4/5. Can't say that I've had many crispy rice dishes but the rice was well fried without being overly hot or oily. You're free to put as much or as little fish as you would like. Overall flavor is well balanced. Signature Temaki set - 4/5. Definitely have some interesting flavors in the mix! The yellow tail with pesto and mango was my favorite bite. It's these creative flavors that keeps sushi interesting. My only gripe is that it was difficult picking up the preformed rice/topping onto the seaweed. I've seen other recent photos where all temakis were served on a taco style tray but I had to build my own as I ate. Also the real wasabi that came with all sushi was a huge plus! Kaiden Don - 3.5/5. Overall a really pretty dish but there was so little rice for it to be a full meal. Not what you'd normally expect from a sashimi rice bowl. Fish quality seems to be good but a bigger portion would help. Soft shell crab tempura - 3/5. This came 2 crabs per order, 4 pieces in total. It was served with a lemon wedge and ponzu I think? Perhaps I'm so used to the crab being in a spider roll topped with eel sauce. I just didn't feel like the crab itself had much taste. Mommy rose - ??? Interesting name to say the least but it does look quite pretty! I didn't eat it but feedback was that it looked better than it taste. read more

What a lovely experience. Our first time visiting was in October of 2021. I asked about whether they had Omakase or not and they were working to bring It back. We still enjoyed everything. The Yasai Trio and the shishito peppers with that yuzu salt were both satisfying. The right amount of crunch, umami, and citrus. A nice precursor to our next course, the signature set. A nice selection of Oita signature rolls. Fast forward to our January 2022 visit and hooray- there were Omakase options!! I opted for the nigiri and sashimi option. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so obvious that the kiddos wanted MY food. The chef's selections created such a vibe for me, I figured I couldn't keep it to myself. I gave them a taste and their tastebuds too were awakened. Oita is definitely one of my favorites in BK. read more

Lunch on Sunday was not crowded but we still made a reservation just in case. The interior was really cute and minimalistic. The service was great - friendly staff. This would be a little pricey for lunch. I had the temaki signature set and their concept was a little different from most places. The hand rolls come out all on a plate but seaweed on the side and you just grab it with the seaweed when you're ready to eat. I wasn't a huge fan of the yellowtail (maybe I didn't like that it was with pesto) from the set but everything else was good! We also had the spicy tuna on crispy rice as an appetizer. Rice was perfectly deep fried. I wish it came with more pieces of crispy rice to pair with all that tuna. read more

The restaurant setting is modern and minimalistic with nice decor. Group of 5. Did not opt for the omakase experience. This spot has two separate hours of operation. We went an hour before they closed at 3PM to prepare for the evening hours (4PM-10PM) We placed 3 orders of the Sushi & Sashimi Trio, a Signature Roll set & Temaki Signature set along with drinks. Overpriced Sashimi set. The signature sushi set came on a metal dish which stuck on the rice. Grabbing the sushi pieces proved difficult. Ever had deconstructed sushi? Besides the stuck on sushi, the rolls were not packed well. Very thin layer of rice. Temaki set came with separate seaweed which was DIY (due to covid?). That was unexpected. While both sets looked appealing, I thought I had just experienced a "vegetarian" style sushi. The pieces had cucumber, lettuce, and avocado inside. read more

Came here after trying out Nami Nori and was excited to see another place that specializes in hand rolls in this style. Unfortunately this place wasn't as good as I had hoped for it to be. We had ordered iced matcha lattes, which came in cute glasses but the taste was barely there. We also ordered the braised hamachi kama, spicy tuna on crispy rice, and two temaki signature sets. I wasn't a fan of the braised Hamachi kama since the flavor disnt complement well with the fish and the radish also ended up being slightly fishy. The spicy tuna on crispy rice was good, the crispy rice balanced the tuna tartar well, and I liked that you can taste a bit of the spice, as opposed to none. The temaki set was ok depending on the roll. The roll wasn't made the best and the rice tends to stick on the wrapper when pulling off the film. It consisted of 1. Salmon, Spicy crab, Pico de Gallo - decent 2. Spicy Tuna, Crispy Shrimp - not what I expected but was decent 3. Yellowtail, Basil Pesto, Mango, Pine nut - pesto flavor was too overwhelming 4. Spicy Crab, Potato crisps - not real crab meat 5. Eggplant, Sweet chilli soy, Micro pea tendrils - not bad The interior is cute and the staff were nice but I might go elsewhere for hand rolls. But their pricing is on the more affordable end. read more

Ate here early March. Was surprised to get a prime time seating for 3 on a Saturday night. Our son got a salmon entree which was nicely prepared. Cooked perfect. Wife got a few rolls. I did the omakase. The sushi was outstanding! The beer on draft was delicious. Really nice sake selection. Our server was super. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. The quality of options was fair value. I still cannot believe how we were able to be seated so fast. We live in Cobble hill and I can say this restaurant is far superior than the dismal sushi options we have on Smith street. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Food is alright, the don wasn't as fresh. Service is great, the call button doesn't work though. Came here with a friend. Nice place, quite.

Tiny sushi restaurant with only two tables for two, and three stool seating. It's mostly a take out place. Ordering is done by tablet. Their takeout bag is pretty nice, a nice thick paper bag with rope handle. I had the salmon poke bowl which contains plenty of fresh salmon. Good quality fish, but the bowl was a bit boring compared to other poke bowls I had and it was a bit pricey. They give you a soy sauce, ginger type sauce for it which was too salty. Use sparingly! Four stars for the freshness and amount of fish, but three stars for the poke itself which is a new item and it isn't their specialty so I'll give them a little leeway. read more
