Okko Japanese Sushi & Hibachi Restaurant

You might want to make a reservation before going. Even though there were only 2 of us, they still asked us if we had reservations. We didn't, but they seated us anyway. Of course, you expect the cook to be not only a good cook but a comedian as well. Our cook did not disappoint. Food was fresh and prepared well. Located in a strip center off the main highway. Highly recommended.

My wife and I went to Okko on a Saturday evening with some friends. For us it might have been the wrong evening to visit as the restaurant was almost entirely populated by 20 year olds and we are much older. This would have been fine if the music playing wasn't so loud it actually hurt ear drums. Surprisingly the main 2 or 3 rooms almost totally emptied by 8 pm, but I believe their was a party going on in a room out of view. I was hoping to eat Chinese food, but quickly saw the offerings were Szegewan, not Mandarin meaning - extremely spicy. It's from Northern China vs Southern China. Our friends ordered Chinese food and verified it was "hot"! My wife and I had sushi and special rolls made of rice and various raw fish. The fish was very fresh and very good as sushi and in the rolls. However, the rice below the fish on every piece of sushi - fell off in our hands. Also the sushi chef's who didn't look like they had many years of experience, did not put wasabi between the rice and fish. I had not seen sushi served this way and have been eating sushi for over 30 years. Our friends went back on a week night and told us the crowd was of all ages and the music subdued. They had Hibachi steak meals and enjoyed them. I would say to try Okko as there is a good chance you'll find something you'll enjoy. Their bar area is very nice looking as is the entire restaurant.

I have to say this place was really good. Our reservation was taken right away. 8 people to the table but some tables had more. Our chef was cool as a cucumber. Telling Father’s Day jokes and stuff. Very interactive with the guests. Food was portioned perfectly for the 8 people at our side of the table. We had a little left overs to bring home but not as much as other places. I can appreciate that because it eliminates waste. We would go again.

Nice hibachi place with your usual hibachi prices. The real gem here is the tempura. The batter is light and fluffy and perfect, and the sauce is spot on. I would come here for the tempura and sushi alone, but the hibachi experience is always fun. I go the shrimp, which was awesome and a generous portion, but the bolgoki steak was exceptional and unique. So glad we ordered it. We also got a more traditional steak which was cooked perfectly and super yummy. I'm used to a bit more salad than they gave us, but it was still more than enough food. Enjoyed our outing!

I love going to this place and have since they opened in 2011. It's longevity is a testament to it's quality, consistency and expedient, friendly staff. Bear in mind, due to its popularity there may be a wait on a Friday Saturday or even during the week during the summer season. But it's well worth it especially the Hibachi room. This night we just had sushi and some red wine which were both very good. Especially the Big Mac roll it has a little of everything including a little lightly fried in a roll. It's huge but it's worth it and if you can fit a slice all in your mouth in one go, good on ya!
