This is the real Otoya in Japan and not the fake one in New York City. it is awesome. I like this location in Ikebukuro and it is really nice and easy to find just near the west exit of Ikebukuro Station. Outside the restaurant they have a display case of the food as plastic to make to really easy to decide what you want. The food is great here and you can’t really go wrong. One time though they did mess up our order and brought different dishes. I showed them the receipt though and they realized the mistake and immediately were able to fix it. The correct food came out only minutes later and they wanted to give us the other three dishes of food on the house. The service here is really great and of course I enjoyed my meal. This is a great and affordable place to try some traditional and homey Japanese food!
