“Ive been here twice now and this is my new favorite place. Food is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I literally lose myself as I eat the rice let alone the main course. I think this place has absolutely denolished my ability from ordering chinese food. If you havent eaten here you must stop what you are doing and try it. Trust me“

“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.“

“Good for sushi or Japanese cuisine lovers raw and cooked options, only disappointment was looking for a bento box maybe a future menu addition. Scale of 1 to 10 a solid 8 1/2“

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

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

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

“Red chicken Curry, green chicken Curry, fried pork goyza( dumplings) and prince charming sushi roll. all excellent even for 15 minute takeout drive. we really enjoy this place. I have tried many warm sushi rolls and enjoyed every one. service is great too.“

“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’m pretty sure this place has ruined all other sushi for me. The fish is so fresh it feels like it was swimming earlier that day (in a good way, not a scary way). Every roll I’ve tried has been amazing — even the ones I ordered just because the name sounded cool.

The rice is perfect, the portions are generous, and everything comes out looking way too pretty to eat… but I eat it anyway, immediately. Zero self-control here.

The staff are super friendly and fast, which is great because once I sit down, I want sushi in my mouth as soon as humanly possible. The restaurant is clean, cozy, and dangerously easy to keep coming back to.

Honestly, if I lived any closer, I’d probably qualify for a loyalty card made just for me. Highly recommend — just be warned you may start planning your week around your next visit.“

“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!“

“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 😭💯“

“I love this place and the food! I had came here a couple years ago. Today I came and unfortunately forgot my wallet luckily I had apple pay…. Well if you come here make sure you leave a CASH TIP when the lady saw I didn’t leave a tip she followed me to the cashier and stood so close to me when I was signing the receipt. Such an uncomfortable experience“

“We are there tonight. The food was excellent. The portions were large. We will definitely be going back again in the future.“
