This outstanding japanese restaurant in Rye is always busy due to the delicious sushi and wonderful staff. Reservations are a must. The seafood is very fresh and presented with attention to detail. It's as though I ate dinner in Tokyo without having to take a flight!

Cozy and intimate place. It looks like it seats 50 people including bar area. I want to give it a 3.5 star, but it is a place worth going.
Open kitchen. It’s clean. Food was good. Some dishes better than others.
We like the sake. The appetizer was good - blister shishito peppers -
The nigiri was good - the sushi rice and pairing with the fish was a good combo.
Robata was good. Salmon and pear was nicely done and paired together, wagyu beef was a little tough, mushroom and eggplant was ok. The beef and veggie- needed the pairing sauce.
Temaki/ hand roll, we had 3 rolls salmon, tuna and scallops. They were ok. The fish was overly sauced.
The crispy rice - beef and scallop. Typically my favorite, but the rice was overly crispy, made it too chewy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review
Oko Rye delivers on every level. The food is not only beautifully presented but packed with flavor every dish feels intentional and elevated. From the perfectly executed hand rolls and fresh sushi to the tender, flavorful ribs and steak bites, everything we tried was on point and cooked to perfection.
The cocktails were clean, refreshing, and well balanced, making them the perfect complement to the menu. Service was attentive and professional, and the atmosphere strikes that ideal balance between upscale and comfortable.
Food, service, and vibe all hit five stars. Oko Rye is a must-visit and easily one of the best dining experiences in the area. 🔥🍣🍸

This restaurant is our family's favorite for a special meal. The apps are so amazing, and the handrolls are just right... But I have had sushi in many places, but this one is truly a top 3 spot for me. Truly outstanding food.

Please bring back the bento boxes to Rye location. They were excellent and not enough options now for families.

Expensive ! Sushi is excellent . They could be a little kinder with cost of wine-$21 a glass!!

Truly have had amazing meals each time we have been here. We had a wide variety of dishes, and drinks, and can just say that everyone went home happy. No complaints at all. Service, food and drinks all hit the spot. We don't mind going out of our way for meals here.

Impressive food. Fantastic ambience and great service. We mistakenly had a reservation for Oko in Westport Connecticut, and they kindly accommodated us, as we were meeting for a birthday dinner. Had an amazing time sampling the different rolls (hamachi with spicy aoli was simply succulent), please try the out-of-this-world sweet potato gyoza, can't go wrong with the delicious hanger steak robata(skewers), and also had a superb poke bowl. Really highly recommend for both special occasions or casual dining. Great atmosphere, good vibes, nice crew, and most importantly the food really rocks. What else can you ask for?

Everyone here was absolutely wonderful, just fantastic service all around. And some of the freshest sushi I've ever experienced! The otoro & wagyu were both exceptional, can't wait to return!
Food was delicious and the service was great! Noisy but everyone was having a good time Restaurant is pretty. Altogether an experience well worth repeating

I haven't been to Oko in a couple of years but my daughter wanted to try it and I was so pleased we gave it another try. The ambience and music was a 10! As my daughter said it gives off a NYC vibe inside. The hand rolls were phenomenal. The pieces were all delicious. It is expensive but inventive and delivers. I will be back. I love the front window table and thankfully have always seemed to get it.

The sushi was exceptional ! We each ordered the chef choice and each piece of sushi was so beautifully presented. Each piece was so distinct and melting your mouth wonderful

Was our first visit to Oko and we can't wait to return! Everything was amazing...the food, service and ambiance! Our server gave us great advice about ordering, which enabled us to sample a wide variety of menu options. We tried a few crispy rice pieces, some handrolls and several of the skewers. The fish was so fresh and all the non-raw items were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!

I like this place. We sat at the bar for the second time with an excellent bartender serving us. My only criticism is that it was and is too expensive. One beer for my companion and 8 ounce saké for me. The meal, drinks and tip, $250. Now that's really too much. We will return but not for a while.
