    Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice
    Michael E.

    Ocha has been around for a long time, and even though it's relatively close-by I've never been there. Recently though I came across a Groupon deal I couldn't pass up, so I decided to give them a try. I was glad I did. I was initially skeptical when I got there because it was almost 6pm and the restaurant was completely empty, but within 30 minutes almost every booth was filled. The service was beyond friendly. They even pointed out that we could order more because we still had money left on the coupon we purchased; something we didn't realize. A couple of the stand-out items we ordered included the Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice, the Shrimp Tempura Roll and the Sweet Potato Tempura Roll. We really liked that the tempura in the rolls was fried to order. There's nothing worse than greasy, cold tempura that was made earlier in bulk (something too many sushi bars do). The parking is a bit tough since it's strictly street parking and there are several other restaurants located nearby, but if you're willing to loop the block once or twice Ocha is definitely worth trying.

    We had a Groupon for this restaurant and decided to use it tonight. We made reservations for 7pm(LOL), the place was pretty much empty except for the two tables of patrons, the 3 sushi makers and a waitress. A few take out orders were picked up while we were there. Hearing good reviews on the Ocha roll that was my first choice as well as a cucumber with shrimp roll. I also ordered the House special Miso soup. The Ocha roll was a bit disappointing to me as it was bland tasting and not a bit spicy at all! The spicy tuna just wasn't. The cucumber shrimp roll was plain but it was fresh and delightfully crunchy. It was a bit confusing ordering this simple roll. I was charged for a NoratiThe House special miso soup had a few tiny bits of tofu, sliced white mushrooms, seaweed pieces, and served with a side dish of crunchies. In some places this would be the regular miso. My roomie ordered the banana and cucumber roll as well as the sweet potato tempura roll. She enjoyed them, I tried the banana /cucumber roll and it was unremarkable tasting. Our bill was incorrect but quickly corrected. I personally would not go back they don't cut it enough for me.

    My first time here. I had a sweet potato tempura roll and a banana cucumber roll. The sweet potato tempura roll was good. The banana cucumber roll was something I never heard of before and it was very good! Check your receipts because they didn't charge us correctly on something my guest had. Nice atmosphere but not the best sushi I've ever had! The sushi is good, but it's just regular. Nothing special it extra tasty. Service is ok. I would return but only if in the area and was in the mood for sushi! Not a place I would crave like Kenko in Lincoln Park.

    Right off the bat, this place has fantastic selection for fun sushi rolls. They have over two pages of just specialty rolls. They are fusion too so they have Thai and some noodle dishes. Really great menu selection. We stuck with sushi and it was great, everything was really really fresh. The interior is nice and they definitely didn't rush us out. It was nice cause it turned into a long dinner but if you're looking for something quick you might have to flag the server a few times. I don't mind a leisure dinner though. Can't wait to go back and try new rolls.

    Sushi at Ocha.

    First time here. We ordered sushi B and mango chicken. Sushi was top class but the Mango chicken was sloppy. We will come here for Sushi again. We used Groupon that was no problem.

    Ocha Roll, looks like art and is a delicious masterpiece!

    Loving the amazing rolls at Ocha.! Such a wonderful find. We had the sushi pizza as appetizer! Be sure not to miss it. Then had Fancy Roll, Monster Roll and Ocha roll. Each was tasty and we found it to be creatively prepared, and fresh! Such a variety of choices. We will definitely be regulars from now on!

    Lunch combo. Great deal for $16.95 (includes soup and salad).
    Dave F.

    A very solid sushi offering here on Bloomfield. The sushi itself here is very good, but not spectacular. Where Ocha really scores points for me is the value for what you get here. The 3 roll lunch combo with soup and salad for $10.95 feels like highway robbery, and I love the option to add 3 pieces of sushi for $6 more. There's plenty of special rolls for every taste, so you'll no doubt find whatever you are in the mood for. It's a regular stop for me in my sushi rotation.

    Amazing sushi! Ocha. Pink lady.

No rushing like many NJ restaurants and very helpful servers. Our high top table was right next to the sushi bar so we could see and hear what was going on. Next visit I definitely want to be at the bar. The restaurant is small and intimate. Definitely lots of "regulars" with relationship with the owner/chef. He was very friendly to us from afar. I would love to be a regular, it's just too pricey for my weekly budget but definitely worth every penny. If you eat sushi in NJ you've got to try it. Plus there's a great video about the restaurant and owner I found online.

From the wait staff to the bus staff, everyone was running around like crazy. The table next to us, I heard them ask for the manager because they messed up an order with an allergy associated with it. Not good. First things first.. we got out miso soup and my bowl had rice stuck to it on the outside. I thought it was weird but I brushed it off because it was just on the outside. House salad was fine. But one of the women bussing tables tried to bring us a second salad because they were clearly overworked and overly busy. I am currently disgusted because I got to the end of my drink and there was the same old rice at the bottom of my cup as there was on the outside of the miso soup bowl. The sushi was fine. I think it's becoming more noticeable that they drench their rolls in sauce to possibly hide the quality of the fish. I'm not saying it was fishy at all, but wow the sauce is so overwhelming. I got the Elizabeth roll and I had one piece - it had too much sauce so I took some off the top and thought it would fix it. Nope. The entire inside of the roll was so unpleasantly soft and tasted like sauce and mayo.. I am still nauseated thinking about that bite. I didn't taste any piece of fish. I am so so disappointed. The seafood pancake had very long strands of squid which were hard to chew through. Another time that I ordered the seafood pancake. Everything was chopped up in small bites and it was a much more pleasant experience. Lastly.. they bussed our table and left our half eaten food on the floor next to us because I guess they were so busy they forgot about it. It was very chaotic in there last night. They brought us the wrong mochi ad well. It seemed like they were focused on getting people tables instead of pushing out quality food. Very disappointing.

The reservation required a credit card but I was able to mention a birthday. We were seated right away at a nice window table with a bench, which made it easy to fit everyone. We ordered a bunch of small plates and not a single miss: Tuna Crudo -- fresh, simple, and kid-approved Japanese Potato Salad with Ikura -- lightly creamy with a salty, briny pop Asari Clam Soup -- loaded with clams, miso; buttery and comforting Furikake Cottage Fries -- hot, round crispy ridges with a ketchup-y dip, very snackable for everyone Spicy Tuna Dip -- gone in about 60 seconds For the temaki (hand rolls), they recommend 5 per person. They do something a little different and honestly pretty fun. The fillings come out on flat sticks in a wooden holder (kinda like a taco stand), and you get boxes of nori (seaweed sheets) on the side. You slide the filling onto the seaweed yourself and eat it right away, so everything stays nice and crisp. It's a little DIY, but in a good way. While they offer 3 Temaki preselected sets, you can also order a la carte. I went with the Signature Set (tuna poke, XO scallop, coconut shrimp, salmon serrano, cucumber black sesame) and was really happy with it. We also got also got 2 sets of California rolls for the girls. My brother's Everything Bagel hand roll was a fun surprise. It tasted just like one. We finished with the Lemon Curd Churros- fresh, hot, and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The curd was a little on the firm side, but still good. Everyone left full and delighted. NOTES/TIPS: **BYOB, Wheelchair-accessible. Clean bathrooms. Modern vibes. **Entire menu is gluten-free **Vegan options available if you ask, plus a strong plant-based roll selection **Plan for ~5 hand rolls per person (including the kids) **Several parking decks a block or two away
