    Chicken Chow Mein?

    When you order Chow Mein, one expects Chow Mein noodles, not a side of rice. As the order has to be called in, the person taking the order should advise that they are out of noodles. We ended up with a whole lot of cabbage/lettuce and some chicken with a side of rice. This is not what we ordered or expected.

    Very nice place and service but unfortunately both of our lunch specials were much too oily/greasy and the chicken was very tough.

    Tonight, while waiting for my take out order, I witnessed an angry and immature grown man yell at the server working because he had been waiting 5 extra minutes for his order.

    A review to write on my 34th birthday? Don't mind if I do!…read more But in all seriousness, I did just turn 34 today on 4/29/2025, and this was my birthday dinner. I actually did not go to the restaurant, but rather a friend of mine picked it up when I had requested sushi. Before today, I had actually never had this before even though I must have walked by it about a thousand times. From the outside looking in, it actually manages to look beautiful every time, though small and busy. I've honestly wanted to go there myself for a while, but I never really get a chance because it's a bit beyond the Wilton train station going further away from where I work. That makes this a slight bit out of the way for me. One day I'll go in person. But like I said, this was my birthday dinner, and I was not disappointed. There were spring rolls, dumplings, and then sushi and sashimi. I didn't quite get the names of everything that was in that order, but it was a fun time. Everything was good. If I had to pick a favorite roll, it was the one with soy sauce already on top garnished with what looked like red caviar. The dumplings were also really good too. The spring rolls were another hit. Really, this is one of those 4-star reviews where it's mainly getting stopped at 4 only because this was just a partial experience. Like I had mentioned, I would love to give this a proper visit. If the food is as good in-person as it was tonight, I will revisit this review.

Everything in the photo…read morewas bogo except for the spicy tuna roll Customized some rolls to have brown rice which is a very nice option they offer. Salmon skill roll is not typically my first choice but for a bogo deal I'll try anything! Worth it. The soup is worth skipping as it didn't have too much flavor and the wontons were only alright. I would definitely go back.

    To celebrate a graduation, you can choose a number of restaurants in the area. My child was…read moregraduating from The Norwalk Conservatory of the Arts and chose OKO Kitchen. Not a chain restaurant and not very big. As it turns out, it was a perfect combination for an UH-MAZ-ING meal! Literally, upon entering the front door, a curtain pulls to the side as we entered the restaurant. A nice little touch like you're entering a whole new world. It's a quaint little spot, maybe 20 or so tables total and some bar seating available. We had a small group of 7 and fit right along the far wall. Asked for some special favors from the hostess and she was more than accommodating. Our server, Julia was phenomenal. She gave us some time to socialize, choose our meals and looked after us as if we were her only table (while taking care of a couple other tables at the same time). Very personable and helpful along the way, not just someone who took our orders only never to be seen again. She had some great suggestions and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was spectacular! I initially ordered a few appetizers for the table. She suggested a Makimono dish which was a selection of the same items I requested and a few more! Perfect for sharing! We enjoyed a variety of entree selections from their menu including poke bowls, sushi and grilled meats and fish. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The desserts were a perfect casual finish to our meal! Can't say enough good things about our experience at OKO Kitchen. The service and food were spot on! Keep on Yelp'n!

    Our first time to Oko and would go again! We sat at the bar (thinking it was a sushi bar when we…read moremade the reservation, but it is a regular bar)- our fault- no big deal. The bartender was lovely and friendly without being annoying. The scallop hand roll was a huge win! My husband had the tuna hand roll and also loved his. Then, we ordered the lobster and king crab hand rolls, they were also flavorful but still went back to the scallop! Delicious! We had the crab fried rice that was very tasty and a good portion- shareable when ordered with other items. We had an array of nigiri. It's a small restaurant with city vibes, friendly service. It was expensive and I'm not completely sure everything was worth the cost, for a special occasion, it is worth it.

    A great little sushi spot right on the main drag in SONO!…read more I'm always craving sushi (literally always) so when visiting Norwalk, I picked a place within walking distance from our hotel and we gave Oishi a shot. I'm so glad we ended up here because the ambiance was great, the staff was super friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious! We were seated immediately on a Saturday night (which was fantastic because everywhere else was packed). We ordered some appetizers, which were great. The calamari was very crispy. For my meal, I ordered a few small dishes (in true izakaya style) and I loved them all. I'd never seen a tofu skin sushi roll in any of the Japanese restaurants I've been to, so I was excited to try that. It lived up to the expectation. Absolutely delicious. The truffle yellowtail and toro tartar were also great. My friends both ordered hot dishes: yaki udon and ramen with pork. They were also both very happy with their meal. I tried some of the yaki udon and I thought it was super flavorful (and I'm not a big noodle gal)! The waiter brought over shots of saki on the house, which was really nice. I didn't have any since I don't drink, but my friends said it was fruity and enjoyable. We had a lovely time here overall. Cozy vibes. Great food. Friendly staff. I think my only gripe (which is super tiny) is that this doesn't resemble an izakaya well. I think they would have been better off calling it Oishi Sushi or Oishi Japanese Restaurant. The "small plates" part of the menu was small and pretty standard. I expect a lot more variety and interesting dishes at a true izakaya. But overall, really happy with my experience here!

The decor is a lovely authentic izakaya with the wood paneling and everything. It's a beautiful homage to Japanese culture. Ok now menu. Lunch there is great but recommend going for the dinner menu over anything to have more options! The addictive cabbage is just as it says, addicting. It's acidic, savory and has the perfect crunch to it. The crab Rangoons are sooo good. They give you plenty of sauce and you can tell it's the good crab. The cold sesame noodles are perfect! A little bit of heat, a bunch of flavor. I'm drooling just thinking about it! The chili dumplings were good but a little too spicy for me! We also really enjoyed the kimchi carbonara and personally, I'm a sucker for udon noodles! And now the star of the show for me and something I've ordered three times now! The crab fried rice! The crab is so tender and buttery, like it actually melts in your mouth. And the pork belly chunks in it, also tender and delicious. I like dream of this dish every week! And the great thing is you can order the half size during dinner so you can try other things too! This spot is in my top 5 for 2026 so far! Please go try them asap!

From ambiance to service to the food. Every decoration is intentional, the service is friendly, and the menu contains elements of fusion while also staying rooted in Japanese cuisine. Altogether creates a really good experience. The rangoons are a must get and you'll never want another Rangoon in your life. The karaage is so fresh and tender. The crab fried rice has nice large chunks of lump crab. The salmon don buri was light and perfectly cooked. Mochi was perfect. The only recommendation for Kawa Ni is to turn the lighting up a touch. Literally every table around us was using phone flashlights and the candles to read the menu which took away from the experience because the flashlights were going right into our eyes lol.
