Unparalleled experience, the flavors, and thoughtful presentation. Delicious all around and the waiters were seamless, didn’t miss a beat and felt very cared for! I sat at the sushi bar and what a treat to see the beautiful works of art they’re creating. Second time here and will come again! Plus the music and overall atmosphere is always a good vibe!

We celebrated our anniversary as first time guests, reservation on Saturday night.
I’d say I initially felt slighted as we were denied a corner table that could have technically seated 3. Hostess explains they need to save in case they get 3 guests, then seats 2 guests there 5 minutes later.
Thankfully, the server and staff more than made up for it by providing stellar service and good recommendations as we tasted our way through several plates some that stood out were green salad and fried chicken bao bun.
Overall a nice evening, in a beautiful new addition to Roslyn Village

The restaurant itself is quite modern and elegant, the aesthetics here shine. The staff checked us in and brought us to our table with zero wait, I cannot stress how nice and refreshing that is. The hot towels were a nice touch. The drinks came quickly and the appetizers as well. The sashito peppers and the edamame were good and the salad although simple were excellent. The sushi rolls were properly presented and everything tasted fresh. The wait staff was excellent and very attentive. While waiting for the valet the manager personally came outside and reviewed our experience. In all my time, I’ve never experienced that level of attention, very impressed. I would definitely give Okaru a try.

I went out here with a few girlfriends and wasn’t expecting to eat so much being vegetarian but was wowed by the amount of vegan options and by how good they all were! Highlights were the mushroom salad (even from those who ate all the fish/sushi), heirloom tomato carpaccio, avocado crispy rice and the Japanese eggplant hand-roll. The biggest highlight of the night though was dessert. It’s hard to choose my favorite but if you can only pick a couple, go with the matcha crepe cake or chocolate soufflé. Definitely would go back just to have more desserts! Big compliments to the pastry chef!
On top of all of the amazing food- the service was really stand out- with servers knowing and verifying all dietary preferences and giving great recommendations. Our group also appreciated that we could actually hear our dinner conversation and didn’t have to yell over loud music or other tables- the vibes were just right. An overall great experience!

This place is really fantastic. Food, service and ambiance is a solid 10 all around. I live in Manhattan, and I would definitely come out to Roslyn just for this restaurant. The owner has Bond St in the city, but Okaru is far superior - I think. I'd go as far as saying it's better than Nobu!

Here for wife's bday getting the tasting menu. Food was good overall but there were quite a bit of raw seafood so ask ahead of time. I think they asked me about allergies a bit late-- after the first course lol
We reserved a seat around the sushi chef and my wife thought they gave it away because we were late but I dont see any seats around the sushi chef?!

I swear every time we go, it gets better and better. The fish is so fresh and delicious. The manager Rob is the best manager we have ever met. The service is impeccable. Love this place so much. The dessert tower is so pretty too 🍨

Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable either. We had the scallop sashimi which was overpowered by the greens, king crab roll that was nothing special, and the mushroom gohan that had good umami but the rice didn’t get crispy. The salmon kimchee roll was delicious and the chicken katsu buns were good. Green tea Mille crepe was good but not patisserie level. Service was friendly but felt very green for a finer dining establishment.
