Visited Okaeri Café in Richardson for the first time and had a great experience! I was warmly greeted and assisted with the menu, which made ordering easy. I chose a matcha with strawberry foam, and it was absolutely delicious--it was my first matcha ever The food was just as amazing, and the café's ambiance was so cute and inviting.One detail I really appreciated was the women's restroom--it was thoughtfully stocked with essentials that EVERY women's bathroom should have!Overall, I highly recommend Okaeri Café for its great service, tasty drinks, and charming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

Food - 5Service - 5Value - 4Great place for Japanese tea drinks -- I like their seasonal flavors and recently had their Peppermint Pandan Matcha drink which I enjoyed. However, then next time I might just ask for Pandan Matcha only.The food they sell is decent as well.

One of my favorite cafes when in Dallas, Texas. I love the variety of dishes that are available from omurice, chicken teriyaki, and onigiri. The food is made fresh and has such a nice flavor and mouth feel. I also love their matcha and black sesame drinks as they are not too sweet. Definitely a place I look forward to going back the next time I'm in town.

Coming back from Japan recently I wanted to find something that reminded me of Japan so I came here so I had good reviews online and decided to give it a try. Right away, I got the kimchi hotdog and the Japanese fried chicken karage. These were both amazing. What l was cool about this spot as they had They had a sit down on the floor seating just like Japan. Also regular seating. My buddy got their beef bowl and their chicken dumplings and love them. They have so many Japanese snacks. It was so cool and they also had the Japanese famous egg sandwich which we also got the restaurant was clean, which is always a plus and the service was great.Next time I'm in Texas I'm definitely gonna check this place out again for new items!

My favorite spot to get matcha has special menu items this month! I really enjoyed how the ube flavor complemented the matcha after I gave some time for the foam to settle into the drink. The inside is super cute and there's ample seating for those who want to enjoy their drink there. Service is quick as well.

I love getting the matcha here at Okaeri! I got a strawberry foam matcha latte, and it hit the spot! I also got an Okonomiyaki Pancake. This was a nice appetizer that was slightly crispy. I would give it a 7.5/10. The yakisoba with pork is my favorite thing to get here. The chewy noodles paired with the veggies and pork makes the perfect lunch! The seating area is quite small but perfect for 1-4 people. Our food and drinks came out super quickly as well! Overall i would recommend coming for some home japanese food.

I enjoyed the delicious food and drinks at Okaeri, though the prices were a bit high. The seating was also limited, making it a bit cramped. Still, the flavors were fantastic, and I'd return for that alone.

Overall, very cute little restaurant/cafe with great service.I highly recommend trying the drinks. I really liked my strawberry matcha and usually I'm super picky with my matcha drinks.The food was decent. The omurice was plated beautifully but a little too salty for me. Would recommend eating it with ketchup. The katsu bento box was good, nothing exceptional. I think our favorite was the okonomiyaki, just cause not a lot of places offer it here. Looking forward to seeing their different menus throughout the seasons.
