My family and I had a great time at Ooaka Sushi! We ordered hibachi and everything was amazing — the food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The portions were big, and we all left full and happy. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. It’s a nice spot for a family dinner, and we’ll Absolutely! I’ll be back for more!

First time sat on live table and got to say amazing experience. I guess worth the price. Chef was awesome cooked the food within no time while interacting with customer. I tried lobster tail with shrimp cooked perfectly. Also, served with rice, noodles and veggies on side. I will definitely will visit this place again very soon.

45 min wait to be seated buuutt worth the wait. The rice and noodles were rockin'!! I wanted more. The shrimp and chicken were delicious. The Margarita was nice and strong. The Saki was very good. Had about 3 or 4 shots. Will definitely do a 2nd visit.

Great experience overall. Upon entering my girlfriend and I waited about 20 minutes for a table and were seated with 6 other guests. All our orders were promptly taken and our cook came over and was absolutely wonderful. He seemed a bit distracted at times but made us feel welcome and cooked the food to perfection. Great guy. I feel they could've paid more attention to the table drinks-wise so you'll probably have to wave someone down for another drink. Concerning other reviews about being rushed, I did not feel this. Had plenty of time to eat my food, paid my bill and left feeling satisfied as did my girlfriend. I would definitely recommend. One thing of note is parking kinda sucks. Once you go in and come back around there's no way to circle back into the lot unless you make an illegal left into oncoming traffic. Yeah don't do that...so just take whatever spot you see coming in.
