Staff is super friendly and attentive. Restaurant was super clean. The sushi very quickly came to our table after ordering! The chef even made us a baked salmon dish on the house, which was delish! However, it seemed like the rice my sushi was made with was part of an older batch or undercooked? It was kind of hard. My husband's rice had a better texture, more what you expect with sushi. But I could tell the fish was very fresh and so were the rest of the ingredients besides my rice. I think it was not the norm & definitely would give them another chance! read more

Might be the BEST sushi restaurant I have ever been to. As a California Native who works in Manhattan and occasionally visits Maryland, Oya Sushi might be the greatest hidden gem I have ever been to. I have been to many sushi restaurants that are high end and more affordable, but Oya is the best of both worlds. The quality and creativity in each dish is far out of the league of what you pay. The restaurant is on the smaller end, but the lighting, decor, and cleanliness is absolutely stellar! What I love is that the interior compliments the fresh and clean taste of the fish. Attention to detail in how everything is presented and plated shows the amount of care that the chef has for their customers. Additionally, they do not hold back on the things that matter. I chose to eat various dishes of fish, which require a lot of ginger to cleanse my palette after each fish, and Oya did not hold back. Where many other sushi restaurants lack, Oya dominates at. Service was absolutely amazing as well. The chefs were extremely respectful greeting you and the server was ready for whatever need you may have. More than supporting big chains that profit off of you by overstuffing you with a lot of rice and cheap fishy fish, I would HIGHLY recommend supporting a small business. Oya Sushi is one of the handful of restaurants that I wish I could exceed five stars. Everything about this place exceeded all expectations and I could not recommend this place more than any other sushi restaurant I have been to. It is a different type of love when you want to go around to all your friends, family, and co-workers to one day take them to a restaurant. Oya is a MUST eat when in Maryland. read more

Sushi was good and fresh. Tonkatsu was crispy and well sized. Poppin Udon was okay. Gyudon was pretty underwhelming. Was clean inside and quiet for an early lunch. Service was above average. read more

We had an AMAZING TIME at Oya sushi. Located in a mall plaza in Woodstock, Oya sushi is a cozy Japanese sushi spot. From the outside, you can't tell how nice it will be on the inside. Restaurant is REALLY clean, modern and beautifully decorated. They are on the smaller side, so I recommend calling to check if they have availability before going in. We ordered a "Sushi and Sashimi combo special" and got an INSANE amount of sushi/nigiri/rolls for $80. They gave us a small appetizer side dish to start, and then gave us two 서비스 dishes (complementary side dish)!! We got a yummy baked salmon and two salmon sushi rolled with cucumber and crab meat. The owners were so so sweet! We also came with a 6month old baby and everyone was SO NICE! She enjoyed her time there too and didn't even cry once :) If you are looking for a TON of sushi for a reasonable price, Oya Sushi is the spot for you! I heard their lunch specials are great too. Thanks for a great experience Oya Sushi! read more

This my new favorite sushi restaurant. Everything was delicious. Service was great. I normally stick to ahi tuna, but I'll be back for the sea bass. I can't recommend The Spoon and Honey Garlic Crunch Edamame enough. They also have a nice selection of soju, sake & beer. Enjoy! read more

Right when I walked in, I noticed how friendly the host/waitress was. The people are very friendly and the environment is quiet and peaceful. Everything is clean and spotless. When the food came out, the display was very nice and it comes with a complimentary Miso Soup. The Tonkatsu was perfectly crispy and delicious. Sushi was rolled to perfection and was filling. It is not too small and just the right portion. The appetizer reminds me of what my Korean parents make me and it has fish roe on top of salmon. The Salmon melted in my mouth and SO GOOD! If you are ever thinking about sushi come to this place. You won't regret it. read more

If you ever go to Oya Sushi, you need to try their nigiri! I've had both the nigiri and the sushi rolls, and I personally enjoyed the nigiri more. I believe they serve some of the best nigiri in the area. The rice-to-fish ratio is perfect, and I love how the raw fish is twice the size of the rice--when you take a bite, there's still enough raw fish left for another bite! Their lunch specials are also a steal, and if you're a salmon lover, you have to order the Salmon Lover! read more

Generous size rolls, fresh fish, terrific eel. Friendly, delicious. I eat sushi regularly and this place was a really nice surprise.. Great neighborhood joint. read more

If you want the perfect balance of fish and rice in your sushi then this is the place for you to go. A little "hole in the wall" spot in the Waverly Woods Shopping Plaza will have you and your wallet smiling at the end of your dining experience! Sushi (10/10) (Cali, Salmon Avocado, Yellowtail Rolls) - fresh, light, and a good amount of fish with every bite. While other sushi spots might skimp out on the quality and quantity of fish, Oya Sushi does a fantastic job of maintaining both to a high standard Poppin Udon (7/10) - creamy and light just as you would expect from a cream udon, but it was too sweet and lacked that salty/umami flavor - noodles were cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of fried garlic to enhance the taste Gyoza (9/10) - light, crispy and crunchy with every bite - it had the perfect amount of filling and tasted like it was homemade Miso Soup/House Salad (8/10) - great quality and taste Service (10/10) - waitress and sushi chefs were very polite and welcoming - took our orders quickly and our food came out hot and promptly Ambiance (10/10) - modern, clean, and had a beautiful selection of colors that invite you to eat and stay - wife said that the plating was pretty and complimented the food that was on it Will most definitely be coming back to fill my stomach with their delicious, high quality, and bang for your buck sushi! read more

If you are a Salmon lover then this place is for you !!! I read the reviews and I was very excited to experience what other reviews were saying and their recommendations. We were dearly disappointed. The only thing that was yummy light refreshing was the "Spoon". I do love tuna, but not a lot offer in that regard, but salmon was their main sushi. So if you are a lover of Salmon then this sushi place is for you. read more

Fresh, delicious sushi with no fillers like other places in the area. Our go to for lunch especially!

Excellent sushi, great fresh fish and lots of it. Had a tempura combo, no off flavors from the oil, nice and crispy. Rolls were great. Amazing baked salmon, would go back just for that. Dessert of ice cream is more than you're expecting, not so much the portion size but in terms of quality. Service was friendly and attentive. Yeah it's in a strip mall but what it lacks ambiance it makes up for in the food. read more

Really god food from a nicely varied menu. Service is friendly and attentive. Prices quite reasonable too. We will be back for sure.

Amazing food. My mom and stepdad recommend this place. The staff are really nice friendly. The place is small, cozy and clean. We try other sushi place and so far we found a good one. I love their sushi . They so good and tasty and soup is really good. I would order a bento box , but only raw only. They should have bento boxes that are cooked . The gave a free dish of sushi salmon on the house which is really nice of them. read more

Great place!! I had normal rolls...eel, salmon, and veggie. All three rolls were delicious. They also brought me hot tea (complimentary) AND a huge piece of baked salmon (complimentary!) WHAT!? I'll be back soon. Great food, service, and super-neat and clean! A++++ read more

My new sushi place! I loved everything! I can't wait to go back and try other items.

WOW! We are veteran sushi eaters, and we have enjoyed Sushi King and Umi Sushi in Howard County, but Oya Sushi is on its own level. The salmon belly, unagi, negitoro and ikura are almost religious experiences. The fish portions are generous and there is just enough rice--the perfect balance. I urge every serious sushi foodie to give this place a try--it's in an out-of-the way shopping mall on the edge of Ellicott City, not the most natural location for fine dining, so it will need the support of loyal fans. read more

Tried this place based on the great reviews. I can't give it 5 stars only because I have had much much better sushi. That is not to say that this is bad sushi. They do some things that are a little different than other sushi restaurants. The spicy tuna (salmon, yellow tail, etc) rolls are make with some vinegar. Not bad, just different. The sushi, to me, didn't taste as fresh as some other places. Again, not that it was spoiled or bad, just didn't seem as fresh. The restaurant is very clean and the staff were very attentive. I will also say that the prices ARE very reasonable compared to other places these days. Overall, this is a very good sushi spot. The best? I can't give it that title. But I would definitely recommend this place. read more

It was ok and service was pretty good, but they serve such small portions! If you are thinking that you will get a real Japanese Udon with substantial meal, I won't recommend the place. Yes I agree with you! Portions are so small I didn't even feel like I had lunch. And the price is too high for what we got ! Way too high! read more

Top notch service! The sushi was amazing. This place is the real thing - has plenty of "cooked" sushi - but if you like real sushi and sashimi - you will love this! Everyone was so welcoming and nice. Fresh and perfectly served. read more

Quick fast service great food and nice atmosphere vegetarian rolls are good and very resonable

The best sushi restaurant in Howard county. The sushi was so fresh. Their salmon is a must. We also got the karage and the udon. Extremely high quality, well made and well balanced. You can tell a lot of thought and effort was put into each menu item. The food came out so quickly. The service was also perfect, we went with a toddler and they took great care of us. The restaurant is also extremely clean which is a must for a sushi place. The place also does sushi platters which I will be ordering for future home parties. This will be our new go to sushi restaurant! read more

Had dinner there the other night and everything was fantastic. My daughter and I loved the Rizz Roll!
