- staffThey also offer a back room for private parties or busy days. The staff, including head chef Danny, side chef Lu, and head waitress Iris, have always treated me very well, and I've always been pleased with my experiences. During COVID, I'm thankful they are still offering takeout and delivery via phone and DoorDash, which has been a lifesaver.

- serviceMy experience at this restaurant was the WORST SERVICE EVER! I don't care if the food is even good; this was the worst experience I have ever had at any sushi place. The 1+ hour wait was not worth it, and the prices were way over priced.
- waiting timewait outside in the cold for another 15 minutes

- DoorDash orderyour order (placed at 5:30pm) won’t be ready until 8:30pm

If you catch them on a good day, youll likely enjoy friendly, knowledgeable service. But be prepared for potentially long waits and frustrating experiences, especially with delivery, if theyre busy. It's a gamble, so consider dining in during off-peak hours.

Decent Sushi, Awful Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The sushi itself was good, featuring fresh fish and nice preparation. However, the overall atmosphere made me want to leave.
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was uncomfortable. The waitress seemed confused and annoyed, offering no greeting. The music was loud Disney-style, making it hard to relax, and the space felt cold and uninviting.
The miso soup arrived cold, and while the beer was fine, it could have been colder. While the food is decent, this is a place better suited for takeout.

Oki: Functional but Lacks Charm
My experience at Oki was just okay; nothing truly stood out to elevate the restaurant. The interior felt more functional than charming. The staff, who were not Chinese, lacked the detailed attention one might expect from a Japanese restaurant.
Regarding the food, the scallop and tuna nigiri were nice, but the squid could be improved; it was a bit chewy. Scoring the squid a bit deeper and letting the lemon juice penetrate longer would likely resolve this. The rolls were alright, but after a few bites, they all tasted the same, making them difficult to distinguish.
There was one moment where the staff made me uncomfortable. When I ordered more ginger, the waiter relayed the request to two guys at the sushi bar. They looked over, laughed, and spoke in Hokkien, continuing to laugh towards me.
I found this strange and thought their time would be better spent improving their sushi skills rather than making customers regret their visit.

Terrible DoorDash Experience
My experience with DoorDash from this restaurant was extremely disappointing. I placed my order at 5: 30 PM, and it wasn't ready until 8: 30 PM. When I called, the staff was rude and only offered that they were busy.
It's crucial to make food in the order it's placed. Being told on the phone that they don't care about delivery orders speaks volumes about their customer service and business practices.

Terrible Service, Mediocre Food
My experience was overwhelmingly negative due to terrible service. I attempted to order delivery through DoorDash at 5: 30 pm on a weeknight, only to see the estimated delivery time balloon to nearly three hours. When I called the restaurant for clarification, the response was dismissive: "We're busy.
Just wait another hour or cancel. " The issue is compounded by DoorDash's policy, where the restaurant still receives payment if they mark the order as "being prepared, " even if canceled. This experience was totally not worth it.
The food itself is mediocre at best. While I've ordered from here numerous times over the past five years, I will never order from here again.
