The banzai chicken and service were really great but the price of $100 for two people seemed too high for what was offered. The taste lacked in the salad, miso soup, and fried rice. Overall it was a 3/5 but the service bumped it up to a 4.

            It's all about that scallop sunshine. Best roll in my opinion. It's not on the main menu, but on the white board specials. Service is great. Prices are reasonable. I haven't tried the steak/live cooking side of the restaurant.

            We stopped by Okawa Steak and Sushi and were seated right away with no wait. Mike, our chef, was very pleasant and truly made the experience extra special for my daughter. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!
