The restaurant is located far enough from the touristy areas to avoid being overrun, but easily accessible for the determined - only a 12 minute tram from Palais de Bruxelles. A casual ambiance at the bar/counter (photo), not common among other Michelin-star restaurants, hides their meticulous preparations and excellent service. A simple lunch, exquisitely prepared (photo). Incredibly fresh otoro. Fresh grated wasabi. Black sesame mousse dessert (photo). It is moderately expensive (prix fixe lunch, with two glasses of wine - about 70€) - If it wasn't 5,700 km away, I would go every day. 2018 10 08.

It was a bit expensive, but still worthwhile to go to. The staff were friendly and i was happy to have walked in to an actual Japanese restaurant with Japanese cooks. We took the menu of 75eur. And the quantity was perfect. I ordered a nice warm sake, and when it turned cold, it was still even better. My husband ordered a Japanese beer (made in belgium), it was good too, but i would recommend to stick with sake and macha tea. Try it out!!

I haven't been disappointed by any item from the menu, and I've tried quite a few. Definitely get the tapas moriwase - it's a sampling of unique Japanese appetizers. For mains you can choose from udon, curry, rice bowls, sushi, sukiyaki,... pretty much anything to satisfy your Japanese cravings in the heart of Brussels! Additionally, the owners are very kind. I've called before to ask about hours but I don't think they speak much English, so just look for Hinodeya on The Fork app and book a table there!

One of the few Asian restaurants you will find here, they serve ramen and only ramen, except for a plate of gyoza I saw at the table next to me. There is a choice between 5 types and I went with the shio or natural flavor. It was slightly heavier than the normal shio broth but lighter than a traditional tonkatsu. It had all the right notes of umami. The noodles were handmade and slightly larger and softer than I generally like them but held the broth well. The perfect amount of toppings with an egg, charsiu, sprouts, bamboo shoots and spring onion. For €12 a bowl, it was excellent value. I would say the only thing that could help it land 5 stars would be a better ambiance. It was quiet as a library, no music and just a handful of customers for an early dinner. However I would definitely return to try another lovely bowl!

They have authentic sushi where the chef has to prepare and age fish to draw out peak flavor and I can honestly say that the chef here knows his ingredients. I wasn't fan of the Brie cheese and cucumber roll, but everything else was fantastic. If you are in Brussels and are craving sushi, you should definitely check this place out.

Me and my boyfriend shared a huge sushi and sashimi platter and it was delicious. The rice was nice and the fish fresh.

Try the warm sake, delicious.

We visited this place based on the many positive reviews, but unfortunately, our experience was…read morevery disappointing. We tried calling several times to make a reservation, but no one answered, and we couldn't find any online booking system. It left us wondering--how do people even manage to get a table here? When we arrived, we saw an empty table with no reservation sign on it. However, the chef saw us, came over, and abruptly said, "We're full!" before we could even ask a question, then walked away. One of the staff members also completely ignored us, which felt quite rude and unwelcoming. No matter how good the food might be, this kind of attitude makes us not want to return. They seriously need to improve their reservation system and reconsider how they treat potential customers.

I have been here 3 times now already and the third time has only confirmed the first impression I…read morehad when I first came here. This place is for me the best sushi place as far as quality/price is concerned. The quality of the sushi is just exquisite and definitely equals that of some other restaurants who offer the same freshness and variety but for double the price. Seriously. Nevertheless, it is not only about the sushi. The restaurant offers a separate menu with the house suggestions presenting different kinds of Japanese appetizers that are really delicious and so ... Japanese. The best way to enjoy these appetizers is to order a bunch of them and share them. The last time I went there, my friends and I had the squid carpaccio (in a citrusy juice), agedashi tofu (fried to perfection), eggplant in miso sauce (I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this dish was a game-changer), layered eggplant with beef (very tasty) and an assortment of tempura (not greasy at all and crusty until the end of our meal). We wanted to order the o-toro (fatty tuna) sashimi as well, but they don't have that one on Mondays, which means I will have to come back. But I don't see that as a problem, :). After our appetizers, we continued our meal with some sushi and sashimi. As already mentioned earlier, exquisite. As far as the place itself is concerned. Well, let's say it makes you feel in a small sushi joint in Japan. The place is small - but cozy -, so reservation is recommended. There is no AC, but only a couple of fans working in times of warm weather, definitely gives it a local feeling. On some days, it can be filled with Japanese people who really know how to enjoy their food, which makes you really feel as if you were in Japan for a little bit. Another nice factor is that you can order a bottle of shoju and leave it there with your name if you weren't able to finish it, so you can continue the next time you come again. Neat, isn't it? So, to conclude, there is definitely nothing that would stop me from going there again. Ok, I forgot to mention that the waiter can come off as a little bit arrogant. However, once you start chatting with him, he is unstoppable. :). The chef on the other hand doesn't say much, but I blame that on the fact that he's very concentrated behind the sushi bar, so no big deal. Can't wait to go there again.

The pineapple inside is the cherry on top. 3. I also have to comment on their take out packaging. The rolls come in a box and are separated by a sheet of parchment so they don't stick to each other. Each roll has its own sauce pairing, which comes in a cute little container. Really thoughtful imo.

Chez Oki happened to be one of them...and a glance at the menu confirmed that yes, this is what we want!

The menu is loaded with interesting-sounding choices, but I would suggest going with the three-course tasting menu for 30 Euros. After a tasty amuse-bouche, it was all great stuff, but what stood out the most to me was the foie gras sushi. Just say those three words - it's every bit as rich and luxurious as it sounds. After a lush, well-executed chocolate dessert, I was satisfied. For inventive menu items, all expertly, beautifully plated, at a fair price, Oki is tough to beat.
