Their lunch bento boxes are a great deal. The food is normally good but a lot of inconsistency. They plate differently and use different ingredients depending on cooks I believe. I've ordered the Fuji mountain on several different occasions and it all came out different. I feel like if I like a dish the first time, all other times I order it, it should be created the same and played the same. Sushi is good here. Hibachi is a novelty at the hibachi tables. Fun for kids only if the cook is entertaining. Some days they are great at entertaining and sometimes they miss the mark completely. Service is hit or miss. Ambiance is decent. Small bar area. Small sushi counter. Huge hibachi room and decent size dining room. Parking is ample.

This is definitely a gem and needs to be more popular. The prices are so cheap and you get a good serving. The hosts are lovely, the servers are amazing and so are the rest of the staff. I have been here multiple times and have never had a bad experience.

Nothing worse than ordering take out and getting it home only to be grossed out. The chicken pad Thai had zero flavor, was oily, and the noodles were overcooked. Have had better, waaaay better. Will not be returning. Service was friendly, it was inexpensive, and the place seemed busy but we both have a bad taste in our mouths and actually threw away what was left.

Always delicious food from OKI! Service is great and food is consistently great. Every time I'm hungry in the Vernon area this is my first stop!

OKI Asian Bistro is the place to go to for delicious food and excellent service . Whether it's a Hibachi, basic sushi rolls or one of Chef Leo's wonderful creations, it never disappoints. Generous portions and fair pricing plus everyone always has a smile for you. It's what we all need.

Oki is our go to hibachi place anytime we crave it. The staff are nice and the servings are big and the food is good. We also like the ambience because it's not too big. Usually when you go to a big hibachi place it gets loud when busy.

Okay this review's a tricky one for me. The whole vibe and ambiance of this place is meh. We came on a Friday night and it was quite empty. There were the groups of retirees and a small family with a crying child. Off the bat the crowd is not it for a Friday night. Next up was the cleanliness. The tables and menus were incredibly sticky and I just felt icky being there. The stools seems old and I just tried not to move while I was there. Being two people who didn't wanna cause a scene, we were trapped after they gave us our waters. We decided to give this place a shot and hope we don't get sick. We got the kani salad to start off and it was nothing special. I ordered the spicy shrimp and eel sushi as well as the summit roll while my boyfriend got the spicy girl roll and the philly roll. The sushi really surprised me.. I will say the type of rice and the amount that was used (A LOT) reminded me of store bought sushi.. so that was a disappointment. The taste however, was surprisingly decent. The shrimp and eel roll was SO soft that it basically melted in your mouth so I kinda liked that (could not really detect the eel) the summit roll was paced with spicy crab on top and I ended up taking most of that roll to go because it was pretty dense. Overall, sit-down experience was definitely a 0 for stars. If we didn't see and feel how sticky everything was, the food would've gotten a higher score but I have worries about cleanliness. If we were go to again, I would only do take out and not gamble with anything raw.

This place is a nightmare to pickup from as a Doordasher. They never have the food ready when you arrive and leave you waiting sometimes 10 to 15 minutes.

My boyfriend and I have ordered almost everything off the Asian cuisine menu. You can't beat the price for the level of quality. The portions are also huge! Every dinner comes with soup, salad, and a full takeout container of each entrée. We have been able to eat two meals out of each order. Our favorites are the Kung Kua and the Szechuan Chicken. Our only miss was the Ginger Duck. The sushi is also decent as well, though my boyfriend prefers it more than me. I'm a stickler for the temperature and it can be lukewarm at times. The customer service is a bit hit or miss, and they have messed up our order from time to time so I advise you to check your order. Other than these minor flaws, we consider it one of the best Asian restaurants in the area. Do yourself a favor and eat here instead of ordering Chinese takeout.

Hove the Hibachi, the food is great. I've been a few times for birthday parties and just with family. I've also ordered take out many times. The sushi is delish and fresh. The people who work there are very nice. I would recommend.
