| - Tucked in the corner of an older strip mall, across the street from ASU's West Campus, OHYA Sushi Korean Kitchen delivers solid Korean BBQ at a reasonable price. It's a nice little place for food and conversation....as long as you don't mind the abysmal service.
I've been to OYHA several times over the past year - my son likes the Korean BBQ grill - but I've never been there for sushi (Frankly, the seeing the words "Sushi" and "Korean" together in the establishment's name is sort of a turn-off) and I've never been there for karaoke (I...ah...nevermind), so this review is strictly based on my experiences with their Korean BBQ.
The atmosphere is casual and the though they've managed to cram as many tables into their space as possible, half-wall dividers do a nice job maintaining some level of privacy. The walls are adorned with wood planks that used to serve as tabletops. Their new tabletops now feature electric grills, which I guess they assume don't require smoke hoods. I've never had an issue with smoke there, so I suppose they know what they're doing.
On to the food - They have a nice selection of meats to choose from. Note: When ordering BBQ there is a two meat minimum. We usually opt for one chicken (dalk bulgogi) and one beef (bulgogi or galbi). You get a decent amount of food and between the two of us we are usually stuffed. Along with the meat, you also get steamed white rice and a rather disappointing array of side dishes. Whenever I have Korean BBQ, I always look forward to the side dishes - here, not so much. First of all, there are only six, mostly bean sprouts and kimchee. Secondly, the kimchee has never really tasted very...fresh (yes, I know it's fermented cabbage and it's supposed to have that old flavor, but it's just not what I usually expect.) Anyway, the food is pretty good (depending on how my son cooks it ;)) and we usually leave very satisfied.
The main problem is the service. The service is beyond bad. With the large number of tables they have, during the lunch rush I have only seen one waitress working at a time. One. The last two times we were there, we have seen multiple parties get seated, then walk out 20 minutes later after never getting served. This seems to be a common occurrence. Yes the service is bad. The last time we were there, we had to ask for rice and a fork multiple times before we finally got them. I don't really blame the waitress here - I blame the management for not ensuring that the shifts are adequately staffed.
Anyway, I give the food 3 stars, minus 1 for the service. Come here for the food. You'll enjoy it. Just don't come if you're in a hurry or expect even marginal service.
Enjoy!!
