| - I come here occasionally for lunch, dinner, and take-out and am glad that a friend introduced me to this place last year (2010). Haven't eaten anything off the Korean side of the menu though so my review is strictly for the Japanese items.
Serivce is good. Food is also good. Nothing to rave about, but it is solidly good. Price point is fantastic (great balance of fresh and cheap sashimi). I usually favour specialty Japanese places found in the suburbs but when I get a craving and need something close by, Oja does the trick.
I order off the lunch menu often, which includes a green salad (which I hate) and miso soup (decent). They are fairly quick with lunch orders, so it's nice to not be stressed about being taking a really long lunch. A roll (or a combination of rolls) and/or sashimi is what I usually go for. My go to is #5, the spicy salmon roll and 8 pieces of salmon sashim, for $10.95.
And I almost always get the agedashi tofu. Not too battered or dense, but not too fancy either. Sometimes, they put too much teriyaki sauce and sometimes, it's just right.
In sum:
PROS:
-price vs quality
-location
-friendly, speedy service
CONS:
-inconsistent
