Cucumber Crush - Delicious! Definitely recommend. The vodka didn't overpower the cucumber and lemon flavor. It was like summer in winter.

Ooka is a gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting, with a sleek yet cozy vibe. The service was top-notch--attentive but not intrusive.Now, the food... absolutely delicious! The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. I highly recommend !

I went down there tonight with my 3 kids because I was craving sushi to go. The 951 Roll sounded like something up my alley, so I ordered it. Thing is, it was $22 plus tax, so I ended up paying $24. It seemed worth it to me. I got home, opened it up dipped it in my wasabi and soy sauce mixture like I always do with sushi and ate it. It was DISGUSTING! Super fishy!!! The rice was crunchy!! My daughter wanted to try it, I told her it was gross but she wanted to try one anyways. She immediately ran to the kitchen to spit it out. I called Ooka and spoke to the receptionist and let her know my situation. She went and spoke to her manager and her manager told her because TWO pieces were eaten they couldn't refund me my money if I brought them back the rest of the meal. I had one piece and my daughter had one piece. I would NOT eat 2 pieces of that myself, it was so gross. I'd rather eat sushi from Vons. Needless to say, I will not be returning. I am very unsatisfied with my experience.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE MANAGER!!!!! TERRIBLE!! Had dinner here tonight, and we were a large party of 12. Been here numerous times and sat at the hibachi area and haven't had a complaint. Tonight, several of us ordered food that we we're not happy with. Our chicken and steak meals literally looked like they were boiled and plopped on our plate with sauce on top of them! Not OK when you're paying $35 a plate! We spoke to the waiter, who by the way was very nice and he got the manager.The manager returned and told us that if we sent our food back, they would not remake our food nor would they serve us anything else! She told us they were too busy!! She was rude and kept talking over me. Iasked her, how can a restaurant be too busy to remake someone's food??? Never ever heard of that!! There was no closed sign on the door and they were taking in new patrons by the minute (who clearly were ordering food and they weren't too busy for them)! Terrible experience! Extremely rude manager!!!!!! Disappointing to pay for overpriced food AND have bad experience!!!!

I ordered a salmon dinner bento box to-go, and it was phenomenal! Definitely made Ooka a restaurant I will return to. The bento box comes with: protein of your choice, miso soup, salad, 6 piece california roll, shrimp tempura (I subbed for vegetable tempura), white rice (I subbed for fried rice; upcharge), and shumai (I subbed for vegetable gyoza). The price was $27 for the box, with a $4.75 upcharge for switching from white rice to fried rice. Although pricey, I felt the meal was worth it for everything you get, and all the substitutions you can make. The rice was a high upcharge, but luckily you do get a significant portion for what you pay for. Everything was packaged nicely, and it was easy to carry home in one bag. Can't wait to go back!

I have yet to have a bad experience at Ooka. This was my 4th time going and I have to say....it is better than shogun!! Their noodles are so good they're addicting!When I visit, I always order the deluxe (filet, shrimp, scallions). Not pictured is the salad and clear soup. The salad dressing is so tasty and the mushroom soup is a great starter. I love the teppanyaki because you get SO MUCH FOOD! I easily get two meals from this one trip because of how filling the meal is. This place is amazing to go to for celebrations or just on days you're very hungry. Ambiance and service are both great. My only complaint is if you do not have a big party with you, you get crammed in with strangers and don't have much personal space to yourself. Other than that, this is a must visit!!

Over priced. Rolls are not that good. Service is ok. Save yourself money and get sushi from somewhere else. This restaurant has dropped quality and raised prices like crazy!!

I've been here a few times and am really impressed with their teppanyaki section. Tables have enough room for large groups and the chefs are very entertaining. I love that they include side items with your meal that other teppanyaki places charge extra for. The food is fresh and cooked right in front of you. They have a great bar with some very unique drinks. This place can get very busy so timing your dinner is necessary due to wait times. Inside I really enjoy they have a wait area that includes the bar so that I can order a drink while I wait to seat. Keep up the great work!

My family has been visiting Ooka's for many years now. From our wedding day, birthdays and a few in between. The past few visits have been noticably different. Let's talk about the most recent visit on 2/22/25. For a party of 5 at the hibachi, it was $240. That was for 4 people eating hibachi, and the other eating ramen. Ok, I get it, prices have gone up. Let's talk about portion size. The amount of rice & noodles was significantly smaller, everyone noticed at the table. Why skimp on the cheapest part of the meal? The protein, same thing, smaller portions. Why raise the cost and reduce portion size? Give me what I pay for! Did I mention that the $38 gratuity was already included with the bill, yep, another fine dining experience where you are forced to pay the tip in the amount of their choice, not what you think they servers deserve. Our chef lacked personality, very dry and low speaking voice. Meanwhile, the other tables were flaming up and all the guests were laughing. The tonkatsu ramen was not as creamy, and had a strong ginger flavor. The pork & egg were on point. I'm not sure if it is time to find a new spot or give Ooka's one last try. I left feeling confused and disappointed with this last experience, especially because it was my wife's birthday.

After viewing a movie next door, My wife, daughter, and granddaughter joined me for an enjoyable dinner here, eleven years after my last visit. This time there were no service errors except for a mix-up of bills. We were seated at a hibachi grill with another party of five, and when our server went to the manager to approve a military discount, it was discovered that the other party had been presented with my check, which was more costly than theirs, already paid it in full, and left the restaurant. I was given an option to pay the other party's bill, which I did. A sign at the hostess stand announced that an 18% gratuity would be automatically added to all food orders regardless of party size. Noting this on my actual bill, and assuming this to be so on the one I was paying, I just added two dollars besides the five dollar bill I handed the grill master. But later, at home, I was aghast when I discovered that no gratuity had been added to the bill I paid. With no server listed on the tab, when I am next in the Inland Empire I plan to find our waitress based on a photograph of her serving my party that I posted on Yelp, and give her a hefty tip. I did this once before days after I realized that I had grievously miscalculated and only gave a tip of pennies to a server in the El Cortez Hotel in Las Vegas. When I made this right, the waiter told me that he wondered why he had received such a paltry tip.Regarding the dining experience, I counted 25 hibachi tables. My eleven-year-old granddaughter's favorite food is sushi, and she ordered a Crunchy Roll with Tempura Shrimp, while I savored an interesting Out of Control Roll that featured both salmon and tuna. Next up was a cup of Miso Soup with onions and tasty broth. But I was disappointed that mushrooms were no longer included. Just so, a small salad was refreshing but contained no tomatoes as it previously did.Regarding the main ingredients prepared by the grill master on the hibachi grill, medium rare Filet was buttery, lobster and shrimp very good, egg-centric Fried Rice with bits of carrot and peas of a superior grade, and grilled vegetables and noodles quite generous in quantity and well cooked.There were some staple tricks performed by our grill master like an impaled egg, Onion Volcano, and heart-shaped rice. And he used a spatula to try to toss pieces of corn into diners' mouths. I much prefer shrimp for this purpose, but observing that this amiable chef's aim was mostly untrue, I can understand not utilizing and thereby wasting somewhat expensive shrimp. Sauces were good. Hot Tea was fine, and refilled without request. And the meal was well worth repeating. But a messy men's restroom lost half a star.

Great food, but I went there for lunch because I saw I could eat a lunch steak for $30.Upon arrival, they notified me that since it was "Presidents' Day" they cannot honor any lunch prices, and that all I could eat was a dinner.I was alone and already there so I got it.When I was finished up, they added gratuity for my party of one . I was going to tip much more than that but long story short my bill was $60. Those guys really got me.
