“Very authentic food. DELICIOUS! My family and I highly recommend this restaurant. The milk Tea is authentic, we had the coconut milk tea and lemon iced tea cold.“

“Best soup dumplings in north Delaware. Great ramen too.“

“As close as I have gotten to Seattle style teriyaki joint in DE. Grilled meat on rice with sauce- seems so easy, but just isn’t that common. Will go back whenever I have teriyaki craving. Portions are strong.

One note for owners- the sauce is much less sweet and sticky than I am used to getting in Seattle. Maybe try that out as a sauce option - we do like our sweet/sticky BBQ sauces and Seattle Teriyaki places cater to that.“

“absolutely loved my time here, the family that owns the shop are some of the kindest people I’ve met in delly. super generous with the portions and the prices were a steal 🤩
my personal favorites been the bella roll tho, I’ve been addicted ever since I’ve had it - but u really can’t go wrong w whatever u choose, if ur on the fence abt visiting give it a try u and you’ll be hooked like me, id give it 10 stars if I could, thanks tokyo express 👏⭐️“

“Awesome restaurant with a fantastic menu and delicious food and wonderful service from staff“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but Okura really deserves one. It’s a bit farther than I normally drive for dinner, but lately I’ve found myself going more often—because I just feel good every time I’m there. The first time I went there was in 2009 on the recommendation of a friend who used to have a Japanese restaurant. With job changes, going back to school, and plunging headfirst into a turbulent new career with multiple job changes, I never got back there until 2022. And guess what? They remembered me! The staff is genuinely friendly. They remember what I like, and a few times I’ve described dishes that weren’t on the menu—and they made them perfectly. They actually listen, and that level of care is rare. The wine and beer selection fits my tastes really well, which is a nice bonus. Every time I visit, the atmosphere is happy and relaxed. I often see other customers come in and get greeted like old friends, and it’s clear this place means something to a lot of people. It’s not just a meal—it’s a place that lifts your mood. Okura has become one of my favorite spots. Friendly people, great food, and a warm, welcoming vibe every time.“

“I've been getting food here since I was a child and it has been amazing since then. Tiny, quaint, family owned. Owner is pleasant. The system they have in place for ordering food could use some refinement and the location is somewhat inconvenient, it also gets a little pricey for larger sizes and the portions could be a little bigger, but I would suffer through it every time because the food is sublime!“

“I haven’t been to this place of accomplishment since 2014-2015, I was sleeping on them! I was off this day and finished washing, something said you want sushi 🍣 and I heard a co worker say how good it was when they went. It was truly worth my money and travel. It was also the first time I had seaweed salad so good 😊 and my server was amazing 🤩“

“I really enjoyed myself. Especially on a dinner date by myself.“

“Inside dining was great and the hostess was very awesome and polite .“

“I had the best experience at the Hibachi in Bear last night. It was my first time there and I will definitely be going back. The food was amazing. The server Jess was more than helpful and made sure that our order was correct and she made sure we had everything we needed. I cannot say enough about the experience and service. I really enjoyed the whole dinner.“

“Rice has long been our go-to place in DE for sashimi: thick cuts (as they should be), always fresh, expertly prepared. We love the wonton soup and fried rice as well, and everything we've tried from the non-sushi menu has always been a cut above. Everything tastes prepared fresh that day; the vegetables are crisp; it's never overloaded with salty, gooey sauce. So many places just cover up mushy vegetables and old rice with sugar-heavy sauce because it's what we Americans expect, but this restaurant seems to actually care about putting out quality. The staff is always courteous, too. Thank you for the lovely Valentine's Day meal my husband just brought home. You all are doing a terrific job.“

“I grabbed a quick lunch yesterday and the Chicken Teriyaki Express Bowl was ready in a few minutes. The chicken was juicy, the vegetables were crisp, and the teriyaki sauce suited me. The staff wass friendly and efficient. A great place for high quality and fast Japanese food.“

“We had a wonderful evening at this buffet. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly, and the service felt warm and thoughtful. As soon as my kids started eating, they couldn’t wait to play the claw machine. After catching one toy, they got so excited and kept trying to get another one — the owner was very kind and gave them a delightful surprise. The crabs tonight were also delicious. Thank you for giving us such a satisfying and enjoyable dinner experience.“

“Went to Sushi Xtreme on for dinner tonight with my daughter in law and granddaughter. it was fabulous! So fresh and yummy! Will go there again!“

“Always a delight to dine with great food and hostess in a very comfortable environment.“

“So I go to mimi's teriyaki all the time for their boba!! They have the best green tea around!! I usually get sushi from them, But today was the first time i've ever tried a bento box, And let me say they did a great job!! Everything was absolutely delicious! I got the chicken teriyaki with white rice 2 Spring rolls.2 chicken dumplings a 4 piece, California roll and a small salad. It was enough for 2 meals, and again it was spot on! Will be getting more bento boxes in the future!“

“Love everything about this menu and the people here. Extremely nice and the food is BANGIN, very affordable as well. Get that Hibachi bowl with the Yum Yum sauce your life will change.

I'd give it 5 stars if it looked cleaner inside but it's hard to care about that when everything else is so good 😭💯“

“We had a great lunch here. We were seated right away. We ordered the lunch special General Tso's Chicken, lunch special Shrimp Pad Thai, and combination rolls (choose any two for $12).

We got a shrimp tempura roll and the spicy crab roll, both were good. The spicy crab roll was our favorite. The food was flavorful and tasty at a great price with good portions for a lunch special! Our bill came to under $43 before tip! If you're looking for a quick bite, a casual spot to have dinner with family or a date location- this spot is a great choice!

Kid-friendliness: The location is kid friendly! Open layout with various a lot of seating!“

“Online ordering is quick and easy. Food is great!“

“I’ve already ordered here multiple times and I was always happy about my food. However, the service could be improved. The younger lady behind the counter has consistently seemed irritated and rude every time I visited (months apart). Would be a better experience if I don’t feel like I’m being rushed and bothering the staff.“

“Always polite to us and great food! Love the dumplings especially.“
