New York Food Diary | OZAKAYA: A Disappointing Experience 😔

We went to OZAKAYA for the highly recommended tuna and sea urchin bowl, which looked really tempting in the photos. 🤮On a whim, my friend and I decided to give it a try on a Saturday. We made a reservation for dinner, but surprisingly, there were still many empty seats when we arrived. 🌊 🌊The first item on the menu was also sea urchin, but in reality, there was only a tiny bit of it. Most of the dish was tuna fish paste, which didn't quite match the photos from other food bloggers. 🤮The ingredients were still pretty fresh, but the service was pretty bad, probably because they were too busy. For example, we ordered sparkling water, but it took a while to arrive, and it was taken away before we even had a chance to use the hand towel. 😒 🌊 The sashimi wasn't very fresh, and the cutting was pretty rough. The dish had a decent appearance and smell, but that's about it. The creamy udon was just too rich, especially with the addition of bacon. It was overwhelmingly greasy. 🤮 🤮 The cheesecake at the end was a pre-made one, and overall, I wouldn't really recommend this place. 🌇 #NewYorkExploration
