Food was excellent! Service was excellent! Overall experience excellent! Sushi was amazing

As an Asian who knows Japanese and Korean food, and who cooks Japanese and Korean at my own home, this place is simply a sacrilege. What an insult to Japanese/Korean food. A Japanese/Korean restaurant that cannot even make rice right? Absolutely unacceptable. We ordered dolsot bibimbap, and the rice was a mush, all soggy. Cannot even see any veggies assembled on the top of the pot of rice, no sizzle (which can be forgiven), but no visible traces of any real veggies or meat (not forgiveable). Just mush soaked in soy sauce. If I weren't Asian, I'd let this slide, but RICE, how hard can it be for a rice-eating person operating a Jap/Korean restaurant to not make decent rice? The banchans were, not sure if any Koreans would even call those little pieces of whatever banchans. Kimchi was like cabbage sprinked with hot sauce. The rest, I don't even know what they are. And, the veggie udon has NOTHING except udon, pre-made broth and a few strips of thinly sliced lettuces. Go ahead and fool those who do not know Asian food, but as an Asian, this place is a real insult. Of course, what rubs salt to the wound is the kow-tows the waitress makes to the rest of the non-Asian customers while we were there. And, we Asians did not even get our water refilled until we asked, and waited, waited, till we paid and were about to leave. For the price point in such a "remote" place, this place needs to do better and stop making those unfamiliar with Asian cuisine think this is Asian food. (I just noticed the immediate response from the owner. I edited my review from "owner" to "waitress" in the paragraph about service. It's incredible that my personal experience is deemed as a "spectacle" and that I am "peculiar." What insolence! Perhaps that evening that I was there was an anomaly, perhaps the owner who responded to this review should look into what could have gone wrong that evening for my table. Instead, they chose to deride the reviewer. Well, go set up shop in places where you have real Asian food, like in some parts of CA or NYC, and let's see if serving the type of food I got will serve you well. Meanwhile, I'll be "amusing" the way your restaurant was a clown show on the day I visited.) P.S. I agree with the owner's response: "One's personal integrity and dignity are reflected in their words and actions." If one operates a restaurant and responds with sneering a reviewer who gives an honest but negative review, it says a lot. I personally would stay far away from the person as well as the restaurant they operate. Luckily, I was just passing through Washington, PA. read more

My son didn't want me to submit a review because he wants this to be our hidden gem. The food and service are absolutely amazing!!! I can't wait to come back. It's such a sweet little hidden gem. read more

Came to Washington PA for a work trip. I'm very glad I stopped in here for dinner. Even though it is 95 degrees outside, the ramen bowl was phenomenal. This is not a delicate broth - it is hearty and multidimensional with heat and umami. read more

Don't listen to that psycho Lis B. below that individual clearly has issues. Oya is fantastic! And yes it is definitely Asian and is clearly Korean for anyone who knows Korean food. My wife had the Bibimbap and the rice was crispy as it was supposed to be. The Banchan (singular Lis B ;) ) were delicious. My personal favorite was the Tteokpokki with some Bulgogi added - fantastic! read more

Service was kind, helpful, and awesome. Food was out of this world. It's going to be a struggle to NOT eat here more than once a week. Loved the Bibimbap, BBQ, Gyoza, and sushi. By far best miso soup I've had in a while. So excited to have KBBQ in Washington Pa. read more

This is a quaint restaurant managed by the owners who are very nice. I was disappointed with the service. It was slow. The food was delicious especially the bibimbap and sweet potato noodles. They forgot we ordered the kimchi pancake and we reminded them and it came in a few minutes. It was really good as well. read more

They are just fantastic! We went there for korean bbq only. Small business. The female owner is honest & the sweetest! Min 2lbs meat per table. Each order comes w/ a few pieces of raw veg to grill, banchan, samgyuspal sauce, raw garlic& spicy pepper((I liked grilling the garlic& pepper-- the char tastes amazing!)) sesame oil dipping sauce, lettuce& white rice. We ordered the Galbi & Pork belly. Pork belly came as long strips & you cut it up yourself as it cooks. The marinated galbi was amazing!! Everything was amazing! Will definitely try more as we've decided to become a regular here. read more

Oya Sushi & Korean Grill - Korean grill BBQ menu as per 03/19/23 - Korean Near Me - Washington, Pennsylvania

So...we've been to Oya Sushi a number of times, have recommended it highly a number of times. Actually, we've loved it every time we've been there. But I think the romance is over. They have now instituted a $45 minimum policy - only for a couple - if you bring your own alcohol. In other words, my wife and I both ordered Bulgogi Dolsot bowls at $16/each. But we were told we had to order not one but two appetizers, or pay an extra $15 to drink our own beer. But if we had brought two more people along with us we could've had our beer for free. Who made this rule? Well, we left. And we went to Seoul Korean BBQ in Carnegie, where the food is better and we could drink our beer for free. read more

I went in for a korean bbq since I haven't had it around Pittsburgh. The galbi and pork belly was good! The only let down was the 2 leaves of lettuce they served. Considering the amount of meat we had ordered, it was way too little to pair with. Ssamjang sauce was diluted. I ordered japchae and kimchi soup which was okay. I guess the taste caters more to the locals. Very nice customer service tho! read more

Oya Sushi & Korean Grill - Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Washington, Pennsylvania

I lived in Queens, NYC most of my life and I don't think I've had better Korean food than this restaurant. I had Bulgogi Dolsot, it was delicious, and my family loved their Ramen. They also have Korean BBQ on the table, which is perfect night out for families and friends. I'm going to try BBQ with my family next time. Overall, it's perfect place to go if you want some Korean foods and Korean BBQ. read more

Been going to this place since it opened. It's a home cooked meal at a restaurant. This is a family operation and it's a pleasure to support it every time we go. The food is amazing too which doesn't hurt. New location is super nice. read more

We were traveling through the area, didn't know the place but should have read reviews before we actually drove out of our way. We wanted to eat good Korean freshly cooked food! We were thoroughly disappointed in the food although we were rather hungry. I can't speak to the quality of Sushi offered as we sought out Korean dish. Being familiar with authentic Korean food and its scene in New York/ New Jersey and Philadelphia this was clearly a sub-standard experience at high prices. The lack of spice, the miniscule side dish sampler as well having to request and being charged for Kimchi - is just all contrary to what a Korean food experience should be like. The Kimchi showed up as Kimchi Bowl on the bill. Honestly, it was just a few pieces on a saucer-sized plate. I have never, ever been charged for a serving of Kimchi - nor did I have to ask for it. That's always part of a whole array of included, sizable side dishes - refilled without having to ask for it! The lady serving us (owner?) claimed to have made the Kimchi herself. Well ok but, it was a terrible tasting aged kimchi - lacking the freshness and layers of flavor typically offered restaurant-style. She also told me I should have asked for "spicy" for my pork dish - what? No spicy sauce or similar was served for the table, either. Overall, everything was awkward and disappointing. Luckily, as travelers in that area we can confidently say - Never again! read more

We came here this past Saturday to celebrate my birthday! The food is delicious! My friends got the veggie bibimbap and loved it. It comes out real hot so if you don't like dippy eggs you can just cover it with the hot rice and it will cook. Korean bbq hack! ;) Handsome husband and I got a lb of the bulgogi beef and a pound of pork. It was fun to cook it at the table. Heads up that to get the in table BBQ you need to order at least 2 lb. It came with rice. All our orders came with banchan- or the small sides. Ours were a few different kinds of kimchi. Don't come here if you're in a hurry. They were short staffed- only 1 cook and 1 server holding up the place. This wasn't a problem for us. Our server was very efficient and kind. My only issue is that that the BBQ is expensive. It's about $30 for a pound of meat. So with the 2lb minimum your check becomes $60 without even ordering anything else. Would definitely like to return! Amazing Korean food. read more

Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend and I drove 1.5 hours out here for his birthday because we've always wanted to try Korean BBQ, this place did not disappoint! We did the bbq grill and also got tofu kimchi jjigae. Everything was delicious and our server was very attentive and lovely. We will be back again soon! read more

Oya Sushi & Korean Grill - Korean Bbq, pork belly, tofu kimchi jjigae - Korean Near Me - Washington, Pennsylvania

Everything about Oya is great! With no shortage of sushi, and Korean menu items; this restaurant is definitely unique in the Pittsburgh area. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy, but I promise that you won't be disappointed with the menu selection and the freshness of their food. There is one woman who cooks the food, and prepares the sushi. She is extremely kind, and I'm assuming she is the owner. I give her major props for being able to run a business and prepare all of the food! This restaurant is BYOB, which always is a +1 star in my book. The sushi was so fresh, some of the best that I've had in the south hills. In addition, we left totally stuffed! The portions were giant, and the flavor was unreal. There are even korean bbq tables - you can order meat for your table (2 lb minimum) I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Nice little place in Mount Lebo. It is very intimate, but Korean barbecue is excellent. Had trouble finding this in Pittsburgh. The only challenge is that they have very limited hours. read more

Support this local business ASAP. If you love delicious food, you will not regret it! Some people have complained about price but I would say it's only slightly overpriced for what you get. Given an entire year of COVID, I'd say they deserve those extra dollars if you're fortunate enough to be able to afford dining out. read more

An absolute favorite of mine. I come here for special occasions since it's a bit of a drive, but it's amazing every time. My boyfriend and I love it here. It's a small but cozy place, with delicious food and fast service (especially since there's only one server, one of the 2 owners). Lots of love to Mr. and Mrs. Kim! read more

We were visiting from out of town for the weekend, and were in search of an Asian dinner. Upon arrival we noticed the restaurant was a tad small (8 tables), but were able to quickly find a large enough table to fit our party of 6. I ordered the bibimbap which came with free miso soup. It was piping hot when it came out, but I was hoping there would be more meat with all the rice that was included. I did enjoy the gochujang sauce though. The server was very friendly and attentive, and was nice enough to make recommendations. read more

Absolutely delicious! We got the Bulgolgi dolsot, the oya roll, spicy pork rib dupbap, and the spicy scallops roll. Everything was so fresh and amazing--the flavors were incredible. Will be back for sure. With our own wine though because it's BYOB; definitely something to keep in mind! read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and am glad that I finally went. The first thing I noticed was how absolutely clean it was. We ordered several different things off of the menu to sample a little bit of everything and everything was very good. The service was very friendly and fast. They closed very early so we ended up going across the street to grab a drink. read more

I've wanted to try the Oya Sushi & Korean Grill for months, finally making the 1.5 hour journey recently. If you've never been to an authentic "Korean Grill", I highly recommend it. In this small, yet quaint restaurant, the food is simply awesome. With five Korean grilling tables, it's a unique experience where you take charge of grilling your Korean style meats. The service received was outstanding as well, with the server helping to get you started on your Korean grilling experience. From there, you're pretty much left on your own to cook your meats to the level you desire. The spicy Bulgogi is a must try, to include the accompanying vegetables that are served with a meal. I also highly recommend the glass noodle vegetarian Japchae. I left feeling very satisfied, having a truly outstanding dining experience. read more

Pretty good. I think 4.5 suburban stars is fitting. Went for lunch. We got the banchan, tempura shrimp, bulgogi bento and dolsit bibimbap (on stone plate and rice was definitely crispier). Considered doing the grill meat option but almost 30$ per pound and minimum order of two, not sure that hubby and I could stomach that much meat. Servings were plenty and we had breakfast for the next day. Only disappointment was not having the seafood pancake on menu. I guess I'll be staying with my Shadyside go to for that. We liked it well enough. Grill Might be fun for a group but the 4 seater seats felt a little tight. Will prob be back. read more

What a treat! Food was fresh and tasty and service was great. I loved that we were able to order delicious sushi as well as my Korean favorite - dolsot bibimbap (go for the dolsot bibimbap served in the stoneware pot). We ordered the spicy scallop roll (delicious!), the dolsot bibimbap (pretty good but I have another fave place that serves it a little more 'sizzling' hot making the rice more crunchy) and the galbi (beef short rib) bento box (so good!) Overall, this was a nice, close place to get great sushi and the bento box was awesome! They also gave us miso soup which was good too. read more

Lovely little hole in the wall. Owner is quite kind and works very hard; I don't know if she works alone or if any employees were simply off-duty, but it was very admirable how effectively she juggled multiple customers on her own in a timely manner and still managed to provide great quality food. My family deeply enjoyed their visit and so did I; would absolutely recommend to anyone seeking good KBBQ in the area. read more

Always good food and today's lunch did not disappoint. The tofu kimchee jjigae was delicious and highly recommend. The vegetable Dolsot was better with bulgogi on it. The bulgogi bento box was great for the kids to share. This was my second visit and there are still many things I want to go back and try. So good. read more

Oya Sushi & Korean Grill - Korean Near Me - Washington, Pennsylvania

So I'm a business traveler from out of town and I just walked into the restaurant and was told that it "closes from 2:30-4:30 Monday through Thursday" This information is nowhere on their website or on yelp. On top of that, it's 2pm so you cannot whip up a Bento Box in 30 minutes? Not posting appropriate business hours is bad for business. I just drove 15 minutes to get here because of reviews and now I cannot even get a bite. Shame on them. read more
