# Ootoya Times Square

> Interior feels like a hole-in-the-wall Tokyo spot with dark, classical Japanese decor and narrowly arranged tables that limit privacy. Atmosphere is cozy and calm despite close seating and occasional unpleasant odors near the kitchen. Asian guests are common, creating an authentic vibe distinct from typical city restaurants.
