Oyama Japanese And Thai — Restaurant in Tolland

First impressions of Oyama went okay, looking around revealed empty tables everywhere. An uneasy sight but we decided to try the place anyways since it looked as pleasant as a restaurant could look. Except the pleasantries ended when we actually got our food. Sweet and Sour chicken was disgusting. No flavor whatsoever except from the sauce that tasted like a generic bottled sweet and sour sauce. Which I would have little problem with if it weren’t for the outrageous price/quality difference AND the fact that the chicken was the best dish we got.

Their sushi was appalling. Downright inedible with just how little flavor was in how little ingredients their put into this dish. Rice and peanuts served as the blandest sushi you could imagine. Featuring avocados from the 1990’s.

Let the desolate interior serve as a warning I did not heed, do not...

Food is good. Service is among the worst I've seen in my life. And I hate to say it, but I could barely understand the broken English spoken by the staff. They stuffed my $100 pickup order of food all in one bag, something I objected to once I saw it. Upon opening the bag at home, one of the soups. (which had mysteriously been placed on the very bottom) was crushed, soaking everything in the bottom of the bag. An order of shrimp tempura was also missing, as well as the included lo mein for 2 of the meals. Their solution: another bowl of the mushroom soup that spilled. No apologies. Maybe they should package the meals the customers pay for insuch a way that it's convenient for the customer, not themselves. I don't think it's worth the trouble to try these people again. Maybe it's better for dine-in, but I'd recommend skipping them...

When we walked in, they seated us right away. The restaurant appeared very clean with comfortable seating. Our server attended to us very often and made sure we had whatever we needed. The menu has many japanese dishes listed but often did not include a description of the dish so we had to do some googling. They only have one gluten free main dish on the menu (pad thai). The miso soup was ok, but tasted very bland and artificial. The food overall was ok, most of it lacked a lot of taste. I have had much more flavorful food at Asian Bistro or other Japanese restaurants. The drink we ordered was also just "ok". The yum yum sauce was probably the best part of the evening. It was very good. Also the mochi...
