My cousin and I stopped to get sushi after we left bowling on our way back to the hotel. We ordered about 4 rolls together and I ordered a soft shell crab in addition. The sushi took what I thought was awhile to prepare. It was done in about 20 minutes. The sushi was pretty good. It tasted fresh which is extremely important. The place appeared to be clean and the prices were average. I would probably recommend. read more

We went there last evening for our little Sushi lover. We tried the sweet potato vegetable sushi, avocado peanut sushi and fruit roll. Loved the sweet potato while fruit roll wasn't as great. Peanut avocado was my first try and was good but I am not a peanut fan. We also had their soba vegetarian noodles and was great. read more

THE ABSOLUTE WORSE!! THE ABSOLUTE WORSE!! I had made reservations for my best friend's birthday for the hibachi table. My boyfriend, myself, and my best friend arrived on time and were seated at a table with a party of 5. My friend stated she was feeling uncomfortable with sitting so close (separated by a chair) due to covid so they said they can't move us to a new table or it'll be a $35 EXTRA CHARGE! Then after much attitude they moved us. All three of us ordered the chicken, when it was cooked I had mentioned to my friend and boyfriend that it tasted "rubbery". Needless to say, stomach was churning next day. read more

My experience was different than many of the reviews complaining of bad service. Our server was pleasant, attentive, and prompt with bringing out our food and drinks. Okami is located in the APEX business center, and is one of the few Japanese restaurants in the area. Pricing for sushi, tempura, noodles, beef and chicken dinners are very reasonable. Portions are generous, and more importantly, I didn't get sick after eating here. Orders: Chicken teriyaki dinner Spicy tuna wrapped with avocado and salmon Shrimp tempura with tempura veggies Udon noodles Above was for two people, and was more food than necessary. I've been here twice and both times was satisfied with both the food and service. read more

My gf and I went here last Saturday and had a great time! The atmosphere was great, and the waiters and chef were friendly. Just a heads up- hibachi is meant to be an experience, so don't go if you're in a rush. The waitresses were running their bums off, but it still took a bit of time for them to take our order, and for the chef to start cooking. We had the crab rangoons (tasty) and two of the hibachi dinners. Everything was delicious, but I do wish they had more sauces to choose from. Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back. read more

Okami - Onion volcano - Japanese Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

Going with someone who knows the place is always a good way to start. We ended up at the bar, which was empty,but the prompt service was greatly appreciated. They didn't rush us, which was nice, and we're attentive throughout dinner. we had drinks, dumplings, sushi, and ice creamm (vanilla, mango and mancha),all which were delicious from start to finish. Will definitely return. maybe for the hibachi! read more

First, they claimed they don't have a tofu appetizer, but that's not the bad part. Like Charlie Brown lining up to kick the football, I ordered sashimi. So my miso soup comes out, except it's got this chemical under taste like acetone. Waiter acknowledges that I want to go back (I mean, how do you screw up miso soup?) but says nothing else. Sashimi comes and it didn't take long for me not to trust it. You know that goopy mouth feel that coats your tongue and signals that the fish is past its "best by" date? Yeah. I choked down what I could, rinsing my mouth as best I could with the lukewarm sake. Supermarket sushi (we're talking Market Basket, not Whole Foods) is consistently better, unless a vague sense of nausea is your thing. All things considered, and even adjusted for its homophobia and iffy politics, the Chik Fil A next door is a better bet than this place. read more

Extremely disappointed. I ordered online, and upon arrival they told me they did not have any online orders. Turns out the order didn't print. They expedited said order, which was fairly quick, so that was good. Ordered the beef kushiyaki and received two measly skewers. $10?! Outrageous price for roughly 3oz of beef. Do not recommend read more

Okami - 13. Beef Kushiyaki - Japanese Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

Horrible experiences!!!!! They have different prices all over their menus, online and paper. I ordered for the second time my meal, and we waited over an hour and a half to get my food because it wasn't ready. They were literally chillin, if they were busy that would be understandable, but you can see the waiters sitting in the sushi bar, the cooks, just talking, while you wait for a while in the front, trying to get someone's attention. And after receiving my order, I realized that they gave me the wrong meals, after an hour and a half and wasting more than $40 bucks in food, it's very disappointing. I placed the order exactly at 12:01 and whoever put the order on the computer/system, realized that my order came in and put it on the system by 12:48. I received my food almost at 1:30pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is unacceptable!!!!! read more

Meh. There is better sushi in the area. Not bad, but not great. Better than the place across the street, next to the Elizabeth Grady. That place sucks. Rice was fresh, which is a MUST in my book. But the panko batter on the soft shell, made the critter tasteless and HARD/over fried. Not cool. Rolls were nice. Gyoza was good. Not great, but good. It will do in a pinch! read more

I never had a problem with this place. They have a good ambience, good food, good service. I'm not sure what are the hate is about. ‍

This place needs more reviews cause it was so good! On a recommendation from the good people at Half-Axed across the way, me and my partner went to Okami for a quiet birthday dinner. Originally we wanted hibachi, but we settled on eating at the sushi bar. I ordered a cocktail for the occasion, the aptly named Happy Birthday. It was a light, sweet and fruity cocktail. Perfect for the occasion. Before we received our ordered sushi, the spicy maki combo, and the dynamite roll, we received a complimentary Okami salad, each. The salad had fresh slivers of crab and cucumber mixed with tobiko/masago? and maybe some spicy mayo? over a drizzle of eel sauce. Not sure the exact combination, but it was super delicious and we each could have eaten a plate of that by itself. We also had a miso soup and ginger dressing salad, both of which were yummy. We then received the rolls. I love sushi (eating at least once a week somewhere in Boston) and this place did not disappoint. Presentation, taste, shape, etc was solid. The dry ice was a nice touch on the dynamite roll. It was more food than we could finish so we took a box home. The staff was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere on a Sunday night was laid back, but the staff was still very present the entire time. Reasonably priced for sushi. Spent less than $50 total for the two of us. Definitely will come back next time we are in Marlborough to try the hibachi and bring some friends. read more

Made a reservation for 6 of us for my sons birthday as he loves hibachi. We had a very inexperienced hibachi chef, barely talked to us or did any of the typical hibachi style preparations etc. He must have turned the overhead hood on incorrectly as all it did was push the steam directly into my sons face the entire time so he couldn't even watch. No other grill / table area had the steam/smoke pushing back into their faces, so I'm assuming it was user error, but he made no attempt to fix it. The food was pretty terrible. Barely any vegetables or rice, quite a bit of chicken but it was very chewy / tough. At the end of our dinner, the server came over with the check and stated 20% gratuity was already added (which is fine with me, even though the service left a lot to be desired, I think we saw him twice the entire meal), but then stated it was split with 3 people and he highly recommended I leave more than 20% since he had to split it. I just felt this was very unprofessional. read more

Place is fun, food is fantastic and have always had good service!!! Have been here a few times and I love the atmosphere and their sushi selection!! To finish, their ice cream tempura is delicious!!! Can't wait to go back!!! read more

I visited Okami on a Saturday night for hibachi with a group of 4. We were seated around an empty table and waited for the seats to fill. In the meantime our wonderful server, Sophia, took our drink orders. She was amazing and extremely attentive. She made sure to replenish everything before it was gone. She even offered free miso and soup to a girl in our group who ordered sushi instead of hibachi. The hibachi chef was hilarious and kept us all entertained. He made to to ask how I liked my steak cooked as well. Everyone at the table felt as though we received excellent service. When I go back I will make sure to specifically request a hibachi with Sophia! read more

BE WARNED! They will man hunt you outside of the restaurant for tips even with a lacking service. Food is nothing to brag about and $87 in total for small portions. Save your money and time. read more

Underwhelming. Over priced. Service not that great. Better places near buy. Got charashi- fish was not that great. Not much rice. Son got hibachi chicken. The meat was gristly. read more

I was so happy this place was still open as everywhere else around was closed at that time of night. I ordered the seaweed salad and Miso soup to go; the spicy yellowtail roll, and a spicy salmon roll. The seaweed salad was very good. **** The miso soup was good. *** The Spicy Yellowtail was great ***** The Spicy Salmon was great ***** The reason they are getting three stars for me is because the customer service was lacking, and I thought it was just because it was late at night, and everyone was tired, but after looking at all of the reviews on here I see that, no it wasn't that. I previously checked to make sure the seaweed salad was gluten free. I noticed when I started eating the spicy yellowtail that there seemed to be some sort of a crunchiness to it. I couldn't figure out what it could possibly be then I tried a piece of the spicy salmon, it was the same, then I started having a reaction in my body- it was at this point I asked if there was more in the spicy roll than just the sushi and the sauce. Well needless to say it certainly was not gluten-free and I'm thankful I only had two pieces the last thing I want right now is another hospital visit. When they came to my table they asked me if I asked to have it made gluten-free and I said no -because usually when I go to a place and order the regular spicy roll of a spicy tuna or salmon etc. it's just the sushi, sauce, rice, and the paper. According to the gentleman that spoke with me spicy also means crunchy they go together (unless I misunderstood) to me if I get something at a sushi restaurant that is spicy that has nothing to do with having tempura crunch added to it. Also why didn't the waitress let me know when I previously was asking to make sure other items were GF. They were kind enough to not charge me for the two rolls, but did not make more food. I was very, very hungry. Because of this I don't think I will be back. You shouldn't let people leave your restaurant hungry. read more

I have tried this place twice and I love their crab Rangoon and I highly recommend the phoenix roll it does not disappoint!!!!

The food was just okay, the service was not great. An order of sushi was asked to be gluten free and it had gluten in it, and the waiter was unaware of what gluten was. The waiter also came out of the restaurant after me and my friends and demanded a bigger tip from one of my friends. We all tipped the proper amount, even a little much for the poor service received, and it made us extremely uncomfortable to be confronted and asked for a bigger tip. The waiter even asked for a larger tip than the tip we changed it to (we changed a $7 tip to $10, and he asked if we meant $20), trying to make it almost a 50% tip. we all got separate checks so the other tips would have more than covered what was owed and now we end up paying over $20 as a tip because we of a waiter confronting us. read more

I was really disappointed by this place because I had gone once before and it was a pretty good experience. I went this time for my birthday with my husband and off the bat the server that we had was moving at such a fast pace it felt so rushed. He didn't give us time to think - he wanted to know our order right then and there we had just gotten seated. When he took our orders he did not ask if we wanted fried rice for our side or noodles. I had to double check that fried rice came with it because the others at the table we're a little confused too. Our cook then came out he didn't do any of the fancy tricks with his utensils to get the show started. He just started cooking. No spinning eggs. He went right into the rice with no interaction. But then suddenly he had cooked some of the egg for the rice and wanted to throw it in our mouths. I've never seen that done before it's always broccoli or some sort of vegetable. And my husband did it because he thought it was funny but I was really not fond of having egg splattered everywhere. It was very oily. The cook did go over everybody's order to double check but one of the men ordered his steak medium rare and it was the last to come off the grill. I think he over cooked lobster a little bit because it was kind of chewy. He tried to do an onion volcano and it just fell over and turned into a big flame. I do not drink but the others at the table did and one man asked for a sake shot how they usually do that in your mouth - go around and shoot sake into peoples mouths with the bottle. And I know it wasn't because of Covid because the other table next to us had the normal routine. So clearly our cook was just not in the mood or he was just really new. And that's really unfortunate for those that are coming to a restaurant like this for their first time or people like us that expect to have our normal interactive fun time - the reason we come plus good food and we were just let down. And for the prices that's really disappointing. Even the rice was crunchy and undercooked. The dipping sauces so we're salty. I don't complain about food much and service is rare during these hard times. But good grief- save your time and money. read more

This place is so unprofessional, food was very average and overpriced. Plus, their floor is SUPER slippery. TWO of my group members found hair in their food?? Was expecting a lot more from this restaurant. Could have had a more enjoyable time at Chick-fil-a next door read more

We had a $ 250 bill and the manager (owner?) would not honor a 10 dollar coupon (which was valid, BTW). We explained to the manager that it was valid, but he continued to argue that it wasn't. We then explained to him that we are in there at least once a month and over the course of the year we would spend close to 3 thousand dollars, and that if the coupon wasn't honored, he would lose our business. His response was to run into the kitchen. Coward. Bottom line is there are dozens of restaurants around and with an attitude like that, they'll be out of business eventually. Here's a tip for you if you own a business: Keep your customers happy. If you're willing to dig your heels in over less than 5% of a $ 250 bill, good luck keeping your business open, Mr. Krabs! Maybe I'll go back after they go out of business and reopen as something else. Ugh. read more

Absolutely TERRIBLE service. Waited a half hour for water. Had to flag down the server just to take our order and then he proceeded to laugh at some of the dietary requests. Beyond rude. Our entrees came out before our soup and salad...our food was "tossed" on the table for us to disperse. Then we got yelled at because the waiter only had "two hands" once it came for our checks they weren't correct and we were charged 18% gratuity. we complained about the terrible service and were told too bad by the manager. Then the waiter asked us if it was our first time there and we said yes and it would be our last. She then added good. Food was cold, and the vegetables were completely raw. Terrible!!! Do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Went last night for hibachi there were 5 of us. Took at least 15 min just to order drinks, then got our soup before drinks, my kids didn't get their soup even tho they were supposed to, had to ask. Then finally got drinks, ordered, never got the sauces they come w meal like usual, I never got my water, asked 3 times. They completely skipped my daughters plate for rice and he tried scraping it up off the grill which was not enough for a mouse. Then skipped her and she barely got chicken too. Didn't give my friend her chicken. Just honestly a mess. I ordered filet ans almost positive it was sirloin. Very rude servers too! What's happening to the service industry??? read more

I went here last night with my friends and we had Farrah as our bartender/waitress. She didn't check on the table often and at the end of the meal she got very mad at our tips and yelled "what did I do wrong?! That's all you're giving me? Was the service not good enough?!" I was very tempted to report her right there but we felt so uncomfortable that we decided to leave because she was complaining to other patrons about us. Okami, you need to hire a better caliber of worker. This lady is classless. P.s. the sushi was sub par. read more

Nothing special for hibachi. Worst demonstration I've seen. Steak and tuna was all overdone and tough. Rice came out first and was ice cold by the time I had my vegetables 20 minutes later. Manager running our bill didn't even offer to bring change. Service was not anywhere near worthy of a 25% tip when sharing service with 2 other parties. Even though it's a stone's throw down the street from us, I don't see a reason to ever step into this place again. Will try other hibachi options in surrounding towns the next time. read more

I really wish people could wake up, the service was subpar, not attentive to water glasses, forgot our drinks after being reminded multiple times. I went into the bathroom and a staff member was in there as well and DID NOT WASH THEIR HANDS when returning to work. The sushi was not fresh, rice was hard, rolls fell apart. I recommend spend your money & you look elsewhere. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. read more

Food was ok... experience was Cold Interference. Hostess was on her phone with her back to the door when I walked in. A young man in a white T shirt escorted me to the (empty) susi bar, hucked 2 menus in one of 3 set place settings and walked away. Saw my waiter 3 times, never was able to speak to sushi chefs. After i finished my chiashi, the waiter came back and asked uf I wanted anythig else. I said maybe.. he returned with a laminated specuals menu, never retured. Not sure whether everyone hated being there, or hated that i was there. The final result was the same. Wish I'd gone elsewhere. read more

Ordered take out from here for dinner and was very disappointed. I had the vegetable tempura meal which came with soup, salad, and rice. I have eaten at my fair share of sushi restaurants, and I've never not been given miso soup when ordering food that comes with soup. Tonight, I received the clear soup, which is the same price as the miso. I accept that this may have been a misunderstanding on my part, but I also think the menu should specify which soup you're getting or allow you the option to choose. (I ordered online and there was no option to choose anything except fried rice). Then I opened up my salad, which I had weirdly been craving and it was really the #1 thing I had been looking forward to eating (sorry tempura) and there was no dressing on the salad. It was just a sad pile of lettuce. I'm sure this was just an oversight and if I had been eating this meal at home, I would have been able to add a different dressing from my refrigerator. But that was not my situation, I had to work late for an evening event and was eating dinner in my office, dressing-less. I ended up just tossing the lettuce, what a waste! The tempura was good, I would recommend that. I didn't eat the rice because I didn't have any soy sauce, so in my view 1/4. My advice, if you order take out, specify what you want and double check your order before leaving. Hopefully dining in is a better experience. read more

Brought a group of 12-year old girls for hibachi. Excellent presentation, attentive service, and very tasty food. If you are celebrating a birthday make sure you tell them! They put on an awesome disco light with music show and bring out fried ice cream with sparklers! The birthday girl LOVED IT. Will definitely come again. read more

We've been getting takeout from here for years. Maybe it's because we pretty much get the same order every time or only come here every few months but we find the prices reasonable, and the sushi fresh. Haven't gone inside to eat and only call to order takeout, never ordered online, but our food has always been correct, and ready upon pickup. read more

The sushi is top notch and the wait staff is very good. They do need a person at the front though, a proper host that can seat people and have them wait on busy nights. The older gentleman at the front was flustered and upset on a busy Saturday night. He told my wife and I to wait for a table but took in someone that came after us and was seating another couple and that's when I had to stand up to remind him that we were in first. He then told the other couple to wait. Annoying. read more

First time coming here since the pandemic. Prior to the pandemic it generally was never packed or too busy . But last night was something else. Every hibachi bar/table was full. And it was a great, lively atmosphere. There was a good amount of distance in between each group, so that was comforting. I ordered a couple of mai tais and a chicken and shrimp hibachi. Drinks were good, but i wish they were just a tad stronger. Food was awesome, and all of our food was cooked to perfection! Service was fast and friendly, however could have been a bit more attentive . I was really hesitant with reading some of the reviews, but I'm very glad I went. Great atmosphere , with amazing food. Just a good time overall ! read more

Very unpleasant time dining. Besides the fingerprints all over the tables, there were bugs flying all around my face and over my food while I was trying to eat. I ordered steak and wasnt asked how I like it cooked, and received it nearly still raw in the middle. Will not be coming back here. read more

I went here with my family for lunch and the service was phenomenal! The waitstaff was friendly and chef did a great job not only with the food but keeping our kids entertained. He even took the time to make them balloon swords, which they really enjoyed. They have everything you would expect from a top notch Hibachi restaurant. From Sushi to Filet Mignon they really took the time to make an extensive and delicious menu. Usually when we go to Hibachi restaurants the chicken, steak or even shrimp ends up dry. Okami definitely exceeded our expectations and broke the mold. All of our meat was juicy and the rest of our food was cooked to perfection. One thing that really stood out was that they have Hibachi available outdoors! That is something I've never seen at a Hibachi restaurant before and I look forward to sitting there the next time we go. This is definitely a welcome addition to Marlborough and I hope they continue to serve great food and creating amazing dining experiences. read more

Came here with a big group, definitely had a delay in service on a busy night, but drinks and food were good.

I love their green tea fried ice cream!! To die for!! Also, their sushi rolls are really good! The only downside is the night club-like lighting and the way the sashimi is cut makes it hard to chew the fish. Otherwise, it's a favorite spot. read more
