This was my first visit to Ooka and I was impressed with the beautiful interior as well as the friendly staff. Everyone greeted us with a smile, including those who were not directly involved in our service. We ordered the California Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and the Signature 951 Roll. Later, another friend joined us and I was able to sample the Stinky Roll as well. All I can say is that everything was fresh and delectable! It would be very difficult to choose a favorite--and I think that's a good thing!
We had a family holiday party of which we enjoyed very much. The Hibachi server Leilani was fantastic, professional, and serviced us with a huge smile. She also took other tables and we didn't feel neglected at all. The food and Chef entertained us completely and we walked out full and stoked to return considering our great experience. Our family loves this place and the quality they perform in food and service. Thank you for having us. See you soon!

Wow, I have no bad words to say about OOKA. This place is delicious. My friend and I came here for the lunch specials (ends at 2:30) and the food was delicious. I got the bento box, the thin steak option, and my friend got the maki rolls. I also ordered the fried rice (17). All of the little dishes in the bento box were great tasting. The service was great; our waiter was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is my favorite, I love a dimly lit restaurant, definitely want to come back for dinner.
I have yet to have a bad experience at Ooka. This was my 4th time going and I have to say....it is better than shogun!! Their noodles are so good they're addicting!When I visit, I always order the deluxe (filet, shrimp, scallions). Not pictured is the salad and clear soup. The salad dressing is so tasty and the mushroom soup is a great starter.I love the teppanyaki because you get SO MUCH FOOD! I easily get two meals from this one trip because of how filling the meal is.This place is amazing to go to for celebrations or just on days you're very hungry. Ambiance and service are both great.My only complaint is if you do not have a big party with you, you get crammed in with strangers and don't have much personal space to yourself. Other than that, this is a must visit!!
We did not have a reservation and were told it would be a 1 hr wait (we live 50 miles away). We agreed and walked around . After 15 minutes we were seated. We were a party of 3. The service was amazing. The food is great! We sat for hibachi and sushi. It was awesome.
Good food nice place had a good time
Always have had good food here. May be pricey but definitely worth the price for how delicious the food is and how good the service is. 10/10 seriously would recommend.
