Farros Greek Restaurant — Restaurant in Kamloops

I’ve been to Oya Japanese Food many times, and three times since my previous review in the early spring of 2017; lots has changed in that time.

There have been numerous updates to the furniture, lighting, flooring and other features. There has been an apparent change in management or ownership, and the general cleanliness and service has improved substantially - the staff are responsive to requests, and rectify what few service concerns there may be promptly and politely.

A number of other reviewers mention there is a lot of rice in proportion to the fish or other ingredients in the rolls and nigiri sushi; in my experience, having dined at many different sushi places, Oya’s sushi is faring very well and they offer fairly large portions and a good balance between the various ingredients.

Given that the food quality, décor, and service has improved greatly, I am giving Oya 5 stars! And, noting that this is not a high end place, but it does offer very prompt, polite service, along with an optional all-you-can-eat menu for both lunch and dinner, with children’s pricing as well.

In Kamloops, this going be your best bet for a good, reliable sushi, crispy gyoza and tempura, and drinks.

Happy dining 👍

Usually the sushi here is quite decent, today was a real exception. The rice was falling apart on the nigiri sushi, the Oya rocks rolls were soggy, the servers were unapologetic.

And what's worse: the sushi cooks were visibly eating behind the sushi counter which is a HUGE issue for food safety and cross contamination, Hepatitis transfer...

I have been a customer of Oya Sushi for quite some time now. I used to go regularly as I love the sushi and have even brought others in with me who were new to sushi and/or the restaurant itself. I have to say that after today I am not sure how often I will return. The restaurant has a very busy lunch hour and the tables are designed for maximum people in a very small space. Today my daughter and I were there and asked for a booth as I am not comfortable eating with strangers elbow to elbow with me and there was a booth open. We were told booths were for ONLY parties of four and we couldn't have one. We opted to sit at the bar as I was not willing to sit with some stranger partaking in my personal conversation with my daughter over lunch. Also, I don't mind sitting at the bar as the owner's son is very personable and goes out of his way to make one feel at home. Imagine my surprise and complete annoyance at seeing a party of two men seated at the empty booth not even 10 minutes later. Apparently being men made 2 into 4? Or was it personal? Either way, it is personal now and before I spend another $25 for lunch I will have a look at the other sushi places in town and their prices and service before I recommend Oya to...

SAVE YOUR SELF THE TROUBLE, GO TO NARA SUSHI

So I came here with 6 adults and a child, we do all you can eat sushi once a month as a family outing, so we are professionals. As soon as we gave the girl our paper she immediately said “no this is to much” and we assured her we do this regularly and know what we are doing.

The lady making our sushi wouldn’t stop staring and speaking in her language getting mad, she made out dinner VERY uncomfortable. Like why are you giving us dirty looks? I couldn’t believe it.

The sushi wasn’t anything special, I do not recommend getting their deep fried rolls as they were absolutely disgusting, like no one thought they were remotely edible, we were feeling so sick just looking at them and unfortunately had to eat 3 rolls of it between us.

The prawn tempura was decent. That was about it lol

I just can’t get over that rude lady getting mad and angry and staring, she shouldn’t be working anywhere near people …

I won’t ever be back, Nara sushi is way friendlier. Better pricing, better food and way better service.

It’s unfortunate as we like to support all of the business but this is a business that I just don’t care about being around, it’s...
