Service was horrendous. They need way more than two waitresses for the whole place and I felt so bad for the waitresses because you could tell they were so stressed out. Food was only ok - portion sizes were incredibly disappointing. They did not match their pictures on their menu at all.
Summary of what we got and what was good vs skip:
rib eye skewers = SKIP, so bad
salmon & avocado rice bowl = good, just really small portions & mostly rice
curry udon = i’d recommend! best thing we had of the night, good portion size too
Probably won’t come back, but happy we tried it

A small but very good bowl of curry. The beef tongue is very tender and flavorful, the curry is well seasoned. The portion is a bit small but I enjoyed the food. Great service and cute restaurant.

the food was good and typical japanese cuisine. i wish they put more uni on the creamy udon and the seafood kamameshi had like 2 scallops, 3 shrimps, fish roe and it was like 30$. i feel like you can get a better deal in other japanese restaurants, but that’s just my opinion :)

Love the mentaiko udon!
Soo good. The eel is tender and melts in your mouth. The creamy mentai udon is the kind of dish that tastes even better after each bite—it’s absolutely packed with flavor, and the roe is a nice touch of spice and umami. Portions are perfect for sharing with another person!

Service here is sad and the vibes are so cold ; Ordered the miso salmon bento and the amount of food you get for the amount spent is just pathetic.

Super crowded. Needed to wait and put our name down. Ended up leaving. However, the selection looked pretty good. It looked a little expensive actually.

Super friendly staff and so many options to choose from on the menu including specials. Atmosphere feels homey with authentic dishes. Would recommend trying this place out if you want small Japanese eatery vibes. Octopus fried tentacles were delicious, Kama was good, set meals were also great.

The food at Okan is fire. Authentic Japanese style, very tasty, at a reasonable price. The curry udon and grilled onigiri were super good. We will be coming back again!

Revisited after trying them out three years ago.
First, the mackerel sushi was fantastic! I wonder if they marinate the fish themselves. The fish is incredibly meaty and it’s a filling dish. That alone deserved five stars. Pork belly yakitori was good too with a nice char flavor.
However, I deducted one star because:
-The front plates they provide were a little dirty
-Water cups smelled a bit weird… I don’t know if it’s the cup or the water though it tasted fine
-Bathroom also was not the cleanest
It’s a lean small group that provides the service but I wish the overall ambience and atmosphere caught up to the food they provide.
