My wife and I stopped at Ogawa on a recent trip and had the sushi and sashimi bento. My wife is Japanese and we returned from a trip to visit her family in the Adachi city Tokyo this past October. The sushi was comparable to what we had at local restaurants in Adachi City. Nice atmosphere with cool jazz music playing in the background. Will return next time we're through the area.

Just ordered takeout for the first time and was thoroughly disappointed. The restaurant itself was nice but I paid $18 and some change for chicken teriyaki and recieved some of the blandest food I’ve ever ate in my life. I’m truly not one to complain but for the price, I expect more than a small, barely covered boiled chicken breast with a side of six marinated broccoli pieces and a clump of hard, sticky rice. I’ve heard good things about this restaurant and would love to give it another chance, but for the price and food served I don’t see it in the future.

From the outside, this place is a little rough, not great parking, in the middle of other businesses. But oh my goodness, the food was amazing, the prices are so reasonable. The amount of food you get for the prices is perfect. I waited less than 5 minutes after ordering before my first sushi roll was brought to my table. It's so calm and relaxing here. It's definitely worth a 5-star review. I understand why it was rated BOM so many years!

Atmosphere – 4/5
From the outside, Ogawa is easy to overlook—it’s located in a nondescript brick building with a small sign, and at first glance, you might just drive right by. There are a couple of parking spots in the front, but the main parking lot is located behind the building, across the street, and is clearly marked. Once you step inside, though, it feels like you’ve discovered a hidden gem. The interior is beautifully decorated, clean, and welcoming, with two sushi chefs constantly working at the counter. It’s a well-laid-out space with plenty of seating. The only drawback during my visit was the lack of air conditioning—it was almost unbearably hot inside, which unfortunately took away from the overall experience.
Service – 4/5
Our server was attentive, friendly, and handled everything smoothly despite the heat. She was clearly doing her best to provide good service in tough conditions, and it showed.
Food – 4/5
Ogawa is well known for its sushi, and based on the buzz from others and what I saw around the dining room, it’s a big reason why people come here. While I’m not much of a sushi eater, I’m a fan of ramen—and their ramen did not disappoint. The mild chicken ramen was flavorful and satisfying. We also ordered the yakisoba (stir-fried noodles with vegetables and chicken), which was nicely done, and the spicy noodle bokkeum, a dish of thick noodles with chicken, vegetables, and a spicy sauce that definitely packs a punch. Between the heat from the dish and the temperature inside, I was sweating—but the flavor made it worth it.
To start, we tried the fried pork and vegetable gyoza. They were just okay—crispy, but I’ve had better elsewhere. Not bad, but not a standout.
Their menu offers a lot beyond sushi and ramen, including bento boxes, teriyaki dishes, and more—so even if sushi isn’t your thing, you’ll find something to enjoy.
Parking Tip
There are 2–3 spots out front, but the main parking area is located in the back, across the street from the rear of the building. It’s marked with a sign and provides plenty of space.
Final Thoughts
Despite the issue with the air conditioning, this is still a quality Japanese restaurant with great food, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. If you enjoy Japanese cuisine—especially sushi or ramen—Ogawa is worth checking out.

Was absolutely shocked to watch them make my roll with already browning avocado. Definitely sat too long. Didnt cook my eel. It was cold in the roll. O er battered the crab to the point you couldn't tell what it was. I have no idea how they can put up that sign of best sushi in town. They won't make you sick but you won't come back
