We were craving sushi last night, and I'm so glad we found this place! We didn't have a reservation, but it was a quiet Wednesday night and fortunately that wasn't a problem. The fish is FRESH, albeit a little on the pricier side. We had the O-toro (10/10 recommend, they said some of their menu is flown from the tsukiji fish market and I would bet this is, it was real melt-in-your-mouth fatty tuna like I haven't had outside Japan), yellow tail and sake nigiri, along with the ginza roll and stewed seaweed. Everything was delicious and came out very quickly! I'm adding this to the list of my favorite sushi spots in the city. read more

Came here for brunch last weekend and I've already made another reservation for brunch again next Sunday! I think this is my new favorite place for brunch, especially because it's unique AND tasty. For those of you who have traveled to Japan, you know how delicious their breakfast is... and not to mention how their presentation is so pretty! They offer 4 different set meals and each one is so fulfilling and also worth every penny. They vary from pork belly, misoyaki fish, steamed egg, asparagus with eggs, and a side of miso soup and salad. I love variety in my food and it's nice you get ~5 different small dishes. We also shared an okonomiyaki -- soo gooood! It has more cabbage:pancake ratio, btw. You have to try this place! Especially for brunch! Can't wait to come back and would love to try their dinner. read more

Okane - Brunch!! So much more appealing than Denny's - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Oh Okane, Thank you very much!!! ^_^ どうもありがとうございました My authentic Izakaya experience was phenomenal. Reservations were a breeze. I was treated as if royalty stepped foot into a grandiose royal palace. Exquisitely Superb! I would like to express my many thanks to the awesome, humble Japanese American Chef...who prefers to remain unnamed. :-P ... Perhaps, one day he'll accept written recognition!! I was very impressed by the skillful craft of each item along with beautifully precise presentation! Staff was on point too to my every request! Adrian was very helpful & informative through out. And a pretty girl served items keenly. Music was trendy. ~ Cucumber and Daikon Salad. Refreshingly pickled and crunchy. ~ Jidori Egg Chawanmushi. I loved this so much! Soooooo flavorful and delicate texture. This includes shrimp and bok choy plus a hard item at the bottom. It is served along with a wooden spoon and my chawanmushi was very warm. That was nice. I would definitely want this again. ~ Shimofuri Hamachi and Jalapeño Pepper. No comment other than nicely plated. It is served with olive oil yuzu shoyu. ~ Shinjuku. Yes yes yes! This specialty roll is snow crab and avocado topped with torched A5 wagyu beef. Awesome. I like flames on my beef. So cool. This is my other favorite. Also, I loved the dipping soy sauce small dish that accompanied as well. It was so pretty! *hearts* ~ Toriteba Karaage. These chicken wings are irresistibly tasty! The memories were an explosion of epic proportions for my taste buds. So good! Is it from the shiso salt? I savored every bite before remembering the spicy mayo. ~ Smoked tofu & tomato. This was my special surprise adorned with tiny flower petal. I was told that this item is from Michelin One Star Omakase. I felt so special. Thank you!!! First time ever having tiny orange flower petals to dine upon, and the tomato was very soft and light with tofu invisible to the eye. I appreciate the time and skillfulness. ~ Wakadori chicken karage. Nice crunch and big pieces of chicken. ~ Roppongi. No comment. This is a specialty roll which consists of magruro, hamachi, snow crab, salmon, and avocado that is wrapped with cucumber. Nice presentation. ~ Sake Black Cod & Sake Salmon. Salad in the center. Nicely grilled and delicious. I didn't have time for dessert so maybe next time I hope to enjoy Mr. Japanese American Chef's homemade mochi and sesame ice cream! read more

Made a reservation for two people for lunch. I got the sushi lunch set (comes with nigiri, roll, tamago and miso soup) as well as tempura vegetables. My friend got the mushroom appetizer and the shimofuri tuna. Everything was beautifully platted! The tempura vegetables were tasty although the sauce was a little bit too salty. For the nigiri, some fish were really tender and soft but others felt dry. The roll was simply tuna, too plain for me. My friend loved her dishes and it was enough food for us. Service was fast and nice! read more

Food and ambiance is a little on the flashy side, and overall food and experience was a little overpriced. Overall a decent place, but nothing that would draw me back. I read the reviews about this place being the sister restaurant of the one Michelin star Omakase next door, and figured the quality must be top notch, with the difference being in the level of service. OpenTable showed openings, so I came here for an early dinner. However, only bar seating was available, and any open tables were being held for reservations (one lady had the same ideas as I did, checked OpenTable but booked a reservation 10 min before arriving). Chicken skewers showed all the marks of being grilled, but came out lukewarm. Karaage was oversized and a bit hard to eat. Sashimi and rolls were pretty fresh, cuts were a little on the thinner side. read more

********************** 1491 ********************* Okane just recently opened in January 2016, I got to check out their lunch and dinner, and I love every dish that we ordered. Okane is adjacent to the newly Michelin Starred Omakase next door. A 46-seat place with beautiful and comfortable wooden tables and chairs, even the bowls and plates are carefully paired with the food. Okane opened by the Omakase team, a SoMa Design District neighborhood Izakaya and Japanese share dishes. Chef Jackson Yu, with 18 years of experience from all over the world, and recently earned his first Michelin Star at Omakase. With new chef Shin Aoki (former Kaigetsu) created a menu with dishes that warm your heart and make your belly happy. I truly enjoy coming here, because the GM Justin Goo (former Bar Manager at Alexander's Steakhouse and Gary Danko). Under his management, Omakase and Okane will only get better. Plus I adore one of my favorite servers Quade (former Alexander's Steakhouse SF), he is there at dinner.He's a cutie and a fire cracker, we always enjoy his service. And at lunch, Barry and Molly are both awesome servers. Their omakase starts at $80 for 10 pieces of nigiri, a sashimi course and housemade sesame ice cream which is a bargain. They serve you at the 4-seat sushi bar. Drinks include Japanese beer, sake and a small wine list, but very reasonable priced. I love the sparkling Brut from France, only $25 per bottle, and we enjoyed the small 300ml Sake bottle too. - Vegetables Ippin: Cucumber and Daikon Salad, that ShioKombu dressing was so refreshing, my BFF ordered 2! Aghedashi Tofu, Yo-Dofu Tofu, Grilled Shitake Mushroom, Lotus Root Chips, Bok Choy with Sesame Mousse, were all good. - Fish Ippin: Grilled Salmon, Hamachi & Jalapeno Pepper and Alaskan Cod, were delicious. I love the Hamachi and the Cod. - Meat Ippin: Wakadori Karaage fried young chicken, Beef Skewer, and assorted chicken skewer were all good. The fried young chicken is a MUST TRY here. - Rice and Noodles: Salmon and Ikura Chazuke, rice bowl served in savory tea broth was nice. Nori and tea soup, and Udon with soft egg were all on point. - Rolls: Shinjuku Snow Crab, with A5 Wagyu Beef roll is a MUST ORDER. I don't like roll but I will eat this roll anytime! - Sushi and Sashimi: Fresh live Uni, order it when they have it, a MUST! Otoro, Kuroamago, Tai, Kinmedai, Hirame, Aji, and Ankimo Monk Fish Liver, of course. Everything was as fresh and tasty as it gets. I've been here a few times now, and I love it here. Lunch menu is smaller but the Bento Box is a good way to try variety of dishes. For dinner, I ran into two OG Yelpers already, Euge L and Wanugee. It's definitely a good place to hang out with friends. Okane simply serves good food and drink, well priced, and great hospitality. Okane is open daily from 11 AM - 3 PM for lunch, and 5 p.m. to midnight for dinner on Fri and Sat, a perfect spot for late night bites and Sakewa! read more

Was in town for a wedding so I had limited meals to enjoy. This place did not disappoint! We went for dinner early so we were promptly seated even without reservations. The servers were friendly and asked us if we minded being in their promo shots. They respect customer privacy! Now for the food! As someone who recently visited japan, I was very happy with Okane. The food was amazing! beef suikiyaki - met expectations. salmon ikura chazuke - love it! The salmon was cooked just right, placed delicately on top so the savory broth didn't overcook it when poored. It was the best chazuke I've had. Nothing was left in the bowl by the time we were done. Harajuku roll - the lotus root gave it a nice twist! Okane handroll - so. Good. The uni and shiso leaf was a delightful combination of flavors. Worth the splurg!! read more

Oh the Chef is Japanese so what did we eat? Stuff I've never heard of. Awesome adventure!!! Hijiki Seaweed. It's warm! The mushroom is divine and the flavor is like no other, it was a deep flavor, almost like tea, but flavorful. Oh did I mention flavor? Chawan Mushi wow so good I had to google it. It is egg custard similar to the Chinese steamed dish and they make it so light, you could eat it forever so order more :) Sake Lees Cured Fish get the cod get the cod get the cod OmG yes that rhymes. Hokkaido Uni - first in my life ever. It was a smooth flavor bomb, real soft then explodes in your mouth. Yes I would do that again. Yes. Hamachi Belly Sashimi - also a first also a wow. My buddy got Chef's Choice Sashimi which had like Golden Eye Snapper. Told you I ain't heard of any of this but she finished all the choices well pleased. House Made Black Sesame Ice Cream with Okinawan Black Sugar drizzle is actually white in color. If you love the conviction of guilt for eating dessert get an extra order after you finish and punish yourself! Do it! Tell the devil I sent you! Their cute tea pots and cups top it all for me. Ask for Jamie she was a doll! 5 stars read more

Which of y'all snitches told 'em I was coming? How'd they have Parliament, Tupac x K-Ci x JoJo, Lauryn Hill, Big Pun, AND Humpty Dance(!) cued up the moment I walked in? But they didn't play 8 Ball & MJG; I might've had to go full whitechick* dancing on top of the bar #makinitrain napkins everywhere. Deece scottie ippin dishes with a few novelty items unfound at other izakayas. Classyish-yet-casualish atmos but NOT for purists / traditionalists bc music. Dope af jams though.

(-_^) Anago Tempura $18 Unique but tastes kinda #basic. (-_-) Shimofuri Shiromi (Parmesan Sashimi) $22 Not as weird as I'd hoped. I'd return if I was nearby, but I wouldn't seek this place out... unless I had my #dancingmachine shoes on! #holla *You never go full whitechick. ;p read more

A tiny delight in the middle of dot com haven. Bordered by Zynga and Adobe, sits a tiny row of restaurants. This is where we found Okane while waiting for Jewelry to be finished at the San Francisco Diamond Exchange a few blocks away. Its very quaint and clean inside a sushi bar available that appeared to make the moat amaaziing sushi. We opted for the bento box with chicken karaage with miso soup, spinach and seaweed salad, and mixed greens very lightly and perfectly dressed, with a little mount of rice. $15 for this lunch in the city is a steal. The chicken was very lightly breaded, the spinach and seaweed salad was ahhhhh-mazing! The miso soup was perfectly salted, the best I have had. They actually have seating though it appears they cater for the adjacent businesses as well. The service was friendly and quick. I will definitely visit here again! read more

Okane is Omakase's more fusion-y, affordable cousin. Located right next door to Omakase, Okane shares many of the fish flown in from Tsukiji for Omakase, with a small sushi bar (4 people). Okane also offers omakase for $80 (compare it to Omakase's 100, 150, and 200) but the chefs are obviously not the same as the team at Omakase. Okane's menu focuses more on izakaya dishes, ranging from donburi, udon, yakitori, rolls, to the more traditional nigiri and sashimi. My friend and I opted for sushi, the Shinjuku roll (with A5 wagyu!), chawanmushi, salmon aburi, and sukiyaki. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted great; Okane obviously aims for a high-quality presentation and dining experience. I wouldn't necessarily say that the fish was better than what you would find at other high-end sushi places around the city (think Wako, Koo, Kusakabe, etc) but it's definitely on-par. The space is beautifully decorated and the service is friendly, albeit a bit more disorganized (I did go within the first 5 days of opening). The price point is on the higher end- I ended up paying about $80/each including tip, which is just about what would you spend at a higher-end sushi place in SF anyways. I would definitely consider Okane to be a worthy addition to SF's izakaya dining scene. read more

*** In Short *** Decent izakaya with okay to tasty dishes, but pricing relative to portions lends to poor value. *** In Depth *** I took advantage of that fact that I was In the area for a nearby art exhibition last weekend to come and try Okane while they were still new, and hopefully, not too crowded. Coming in around 8pm without a reservation, my date and I were lucky enough to get seated almost immediately, at the last open table at the time. Now, I've never been to Omakase, and I'm admittedly not a huge fan of sashimi. However, Okane has branded itself as an izakaya, and I ordered accordingly, for the most part:: * Sake Lees Alaskan Black Cod - I use black cod as a baseline to judge izakayas by, and while theirs wasn't bad, it was lighter in flavor than I would have expected, and not nearly as melt-in-your-mouth tender as I would have liked. * Toriteba Karaage - A little bland on its own, but very flavorful when paired with the accompanying spicy mayo and shiso salt. But, I mean, these were just chicken wings. Sorry: expensive, chicken wings. For the same price, I could have gone to Hot Sauce and Panko and gotten almost 3x as many wings, that would have been both more flavorful and juicier. * Chawanmushi - A very, very delicately flavored chawanmushi, compared to the ones I've had in the past. Not to the point of being bland, but given the two things we'd eaten right before, it definitely was on the light side, comparatively. * Shinjuku Roll - By far the best thing we had that night, and the only thing I'd consider coming back here for. It's basically a California roll (with real crab) with a hefty portion of torched wagyu beef on top. The flavor of the California roll portion was a little more dominant than the beef, but you could definitely taste both. Pricey, at $25 for seven pieces, but more reasonable when considering the components than the other items were. So, the problem with Okane isn't that the food is bad, because it's not. The problem is that, for the price (we ended up spending $40 per person after tax and tip) and the small portions, I'm expecting the food to be fantastic, if not stellar, and that, these were not. The value just isn't there. If you want a solid izakaya experience, you're better off going to Kiraku in Berkeley for something casual, or Izakaya Yuzuki in the Mission for something fancier. ***Accessibility Info*** Venue - It's a brand new restaurant, so accessibility isn't a problem, with plenty of space and accessible tables. Bathroom - Single, private bathrooms, and quite accessible. read more

Fantastic quality. Fantastic service. Go. They share the same hot kitchen as Omakase. The Shinjuku roll is so tasty. They have Fresh Uni but it's not on the menu; also, not always available. Fresh fish shipment comes in on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Make sure to call and ask them to reserve some for you. The Saba Karage is also done beautifully. I'd definitely give this place a shot. Great service, great quality, and fantastic execution. read more

What a cute little restaurant right down the street from my brother's place! The family and I decided to go for a early lunch on a weekday (we were a little sad they only had their brunch option on the weekend) and we were the first ones there. It is a small place with a prominently displayed sushi bar. I loved the brightly colored artwork and the patterned light shades- sometimes the small details make a place just pop. The servers were polite and brought water right away. The only thing I would ding them for was not bringing all of our food out at the same time. There was a few minutes of lag time between each entree. But the food was really beautifully plated and tasty! We ordered two of the sushi lunch sets, the salmon teriyaki bento, and a udon bowl. The bento box was so pretty! Two pieces of teriyaki glazed salmon nestled next to a mound of salad that was topped by crunchy tiny unidentifiable white balls. A small serving of rice was dusted with some seaweed in it's own compartment. In the last compartment was a small pile of pickles. It also came with miso soup, which arrived earlier than the main bento box. The nabeyaki udon is the one with shrimp tempura, chicken, wakame, green onion, and fish cake. It arrives in a very hot, covered pot that the server lifts up with a flourish and a warning about the hot pot. The only downside to the covered pot is that the tempura is soggy before it even arrives. However, the bowl was good and filling, with lots of chicken. The sushi lunch set is comprised of 5 nigiri, 1 roll, 1 tamago, and miso soup. The sushi is chef's choice but they can work with you to customize it to your liking as well. The sushi rice seems already seasoned with soy sauce- it is a mixed brown and white color. It made the tuna(?) roll look a little muddled. The nigiri were fresh with generous slices of fish- we had salmon, tuna, and a few others that I couldn't identify on sight. A great place for a sushi lunch. It seemed other people agreed beacuse they were trickling in around lunchtime and the place was half-full when we left. They also had several carryout orders. I bet the weekend brunch is wonderful as well! read more

Solid restaurant. Great low key nice sushi place. Probably not the place to go for a full nigiri-only dinner, but the fish is always fresh and of good quality. Also has a variety of tasty rolls and other non-sushi dishes. Dish reviews: Agedashi tofu - nice large pieces of soft tofu fried and served in a tasty broth. Hamachi collar - very tasty, but almost always seems to be out of it Harajuku roll - good roll, full of fish topped with a crispy lotus root. Salmon and hamachi nigiri - great quality, tasty Hokkaido uni - delicious, very well seasoned Fresh scallop - decent, fresh, nothing too special Kinmedai - a bit bland in my opinion. Probably would stick to more basic nigiri Beef sukiyaki - pretty large, shared between 5 people. Lots of glass noodles and thin sliced beef. The broth was a bit sweet for my taste. read more

We made an early reservation on a Saturday night and the place was not full but busy. I can see us coming here often as it is close, convenient, and food is delicious. Right next door is sister restaurant Omakase which we have yet to try. Okane calls themself an izakaya and doesn't just serve sushi so this made it easier for us with the baby. Service is friendly and attentive. Special - lightly seared hamachi belly nigiri - I love this. I am not a huge fan of cold fat in my mouth so the lightly torched belly is perfect for me. so delicious Special - lightly seared salmon belly nigiri - same as above ikura nigiri - fresh and delicious uni amaebi - heads came fried of course fried lotus root chips - served with wasabi mayo. we put some lemon on it to cut the grease steamed clams (minus oysters) - yummy assorted chicken skewers - thigh and meatball both juicy and delicious sake and shiso yaki onigiri - baby ate most of this. crispy on outside. only complaint was it didnt hold together salmon aburi - tasted good but textures were just mushy all around. could maybe use a rice cracker or something crunchy underneath. We will be back! Glad to have more neighborhood restaurants to try! read more

This place is quite highly rated, in my honest opinion it is okay. I ordered the seared wagyu snow crab roll and the cucumber salad. Unfortunately, I found a couple of softer shells (harder parts of the crab not sure, may be crab in the wagyu roll) and the cucumber salad is mostly pickled (was thinking of a fresh veggie). So despite the Michelin recommendation I have some reservations about this place. It's conveniently located among all the tech startups near and around Zynga. read more

Came here on a Friday night. Best service I've had in my life no joke. All the rolls have very fresh fish. The rolls have more light flavors to it versus heavy dressed sushi you may get at other places. Staff came quickly to refill our tea and each server was very well versed in their knowledge of the sushi. Whenever they would serve our dish they would go into details of what's in the sushi. It was very nice descriptions and not awkward. I've been to other places where people have described food to me in detail and it just sounded awkward and didn't make the food sound any better. Their last cal is generally 30 minutes before they close and what's nice about this place is that there is lots of parking! read more

Akihabara specially roll - 2 stars The rice and eel were mushy. Yokonabe - 3 stars Pretty good, my favourite main. Black cod - 4 stars My favourite appetiser. Beef sukiyaki - 1 star Way too sweet! Shiitake mushrooms - 2.5 stars Average. Bit pricey though! read more

We have been here a few times, and each time we enjoyed the food and service. The sashimi dishes were delicate and fresh. I never get full on just sashimi, so I am glad to see a variety of small eats on the menu. The fried chicken is a must. and the tea rice bowls are just enough to satisfy. Love this addition to the neighborhood! read more

I absolutely love this place and cannot stop raving about the Omakase team. Chef Jackson from Omakase next door told us about their plans to open Okane a few months ago, so my friend and I were incredibly excited for the chance to finally try it out. Okane and Omakase source their fish from the same places, so anything you get at Okane is guaranteed to be high quality. Okane's omakase (lower-case) is priced at $80 per person which is pretty reasonable for the great food and service. Chef Rico was wonderfully attentive and took great care of us. My favorite dishes from tonight were the impossibly smooth ankimo and beautifully presented amai ebi, but every course we ate was masterfully put together and very flavorful. The staff are wonderful - they even overheard that it was my birthday and served my sesame ice cream with a cute little candle! It was a very thoughtful and kind gesture, which is a testament to the great people who work there. I will definitely be back to try more of their izakaya offerings, but you really can't go wrong with the expertise and experience of the sushi chefs here. Okane is a fantastic option for omakase and I highly recommend it! read more

Okane is the izakaya/sushi sister restaurant to Michelin-starred Omakase. I went to Omakase during its first month of opening and loved it, but I immediately realized it wasn't a place to frequent other than for special occasions. Therefore, I was more than excited for Okane to open. I dined here back in February and was very impressed with their Agedashi Tofu - it was super gooey, melt-in-your-mouth, with a light ponzu sauce. Other favorites included Hokkaido Uni ($15/per pair) and the Shinjuku Roll ($25) - topped with A5 Wagyu for 7 pieces. Tonight, we dined here again since we were in the neighborhood and were reminiscing their amazing tofu. We ordered it again and while it was good, it wasn't as gooey and mind-blowing as the last time. We made a note to the staff and they were so kind and immediately took it off our tab, asking what made it better last time. I can certainly appreciate when the staff takes the time to take your comments and thoughts into consideration. We again had the Shinkuku roll and it was as good as last time, if not better. We also opted for some misc nigiri such as the Domestic Uni ($10/pair), Ikura, Sake, and Kanpachi. The domestic Uni from Maine was no comparison to the Hokkaido. Very medicore and less flavorful and creamy than Hokkaido's. The udon was pretty standard- I would've liked a few slices of meat, even if the entree cost a few dollars more. Just udon with soup and an egg is pretty bland. Service is solid - the staff all share duties and frequently come to check on you and refill your drinks, never really going unattended. Overall I like Okane for a casual night out or for craving any sort of Japanese dish- they really have a pretty good variety of foods on their menu, from noodles and rice dishes to nigiri/sushi and cooked dishes. The ambiance is inviting but spacious and pretty casual. This spot in SOMA is especially parking-friendly (metered/street as well as a lot next door). read more

I'm giving this place 2 stars just because of the fish being fresh and the sushi did taste good. I ordered to go for Shibuya, Harajuku and California rolls. I paid $44 in total. Honestly, I feel like I was ripped off. The rolls were so small ( they all fit in a small takeout container) and very overpriced for what we got. The Harajuku costed $16. It only had 7 pieces and they were small. I have eaten at other Sushi places where we get the same quality ( some of them are even better) of sushi, same price but more rolls (8-10) and each piece are big/ decent size. I feel like I should could have just bought my Sushi at a supermarket. Btw, My friends and I had to get pizza because the sushi was NOT enough. If you want to have good sushi and you are willing to pay $16 for each, then go to a better place. read more

Very easy to get a reservation, and when we arrived the restaurant was pretty empty. They have a lot of good fish cuts (and sometimes try to upsell you), but still delicious! We ordered the otoro, uni, scallop, and sake sashimi. We also got the udon, tempura, and a roll. I've been looking for a casual sushi place to go to in the city and this is the closest best thing! read more

We came here with a group of 8 to celebrate a birthday. I made a reservation online for 5, but they were able to accommodate our large group luckily. It's a pretty small restaurant so I would recommend you to not risk this like I did if you plan on coming with a lot of people. Given we were seated at their largest table, they really could not go beyond 8 without splitting tables. The menu was interestingly displayed. It's not the easiest menu to read and we weren't sure how to gauge the portion sizes. I think this restaurant is mostly known for their sushi since they're sister restaurants to omakase. The rolls are all decently good. Fish is pretty fresh. I ordered the chicken skewers, and would definitely not recommend you order them. It's $13+ for 2 skewers of chicken + 1 skewer of some chicken ball. I thought the chicken was quite dry and not worth it for the high price tag. read more

I ordered the sukiyaki with a bowl of plain rice. My friend ordered the lotus root chips and 2 different sushi specialty rolls. I tasted one of her rolls and it was good but not great.

I may give them a 2nd try. read more

Just delicious! And great service!! Will be coming back here again. Loved the See-U-Again special roll and the Ginza Roll.

Not the best sushi place we've been to but certainly not the most expensive either. The first time we visited about a year ago, the rice was too soft and the nori was tough/chewy. We finally decided to give Okane a second try and are glad we did. This time, we really enjoyed the ginza and tiger rolls. The Shinjuku was underwhelming and lacked complexity and seasoning -- especially for the price. Okane is within walking distance from our home, so we will try it again sometime. Hopefully, the first visit was a one-off experience. read more

Service - 8/10 Food - 8/10 Atmosphere - 8/10 Instaworthy - 6/10 Good for a working lunch but minimal options for vegetarians (as expected from the cuisine choice). However, they're super helpful with substitutions and trying to make the order match your preferences. I'd say it's a little over priced for the quantity but the quality of food is good. read more

The Nigiri and Sashimi are the way to go here. It is expensive but the quality of the fish is exceptional. The toro was some of the best I have ever had. The rolls were good in terms of freshness but taste-wise, they were okay to good. The Wagu beef surf and turf roll with crab was really just okay and not worth the $27 splurge. The Salmon with Abruri was fresh but the sauce was not very good and overpowering. Surprising on the sauce considering the Okamase influence. Shibuya was really good and I would have that again. read more

Came here for dinner before a show- had reservations for 5:30p and walked into a very quiet restaurant with smiles and was swiftly seated. The ambiance is a mix of group seating and private tables- high top tables are well situated for a small group, the sushi bar can accommodate 4-6 and some tables for 2 decorate the rest of the space. Service was friendly, efficient and generous with suggestions and favorites. We debated doing the omakase or menu and opted to walk through the menu and try an assortment of dishes. We particularly enjoyed the uni and toro nigiri, awesome Bok Choy with sesame mousse. Started with a bottle of sparkles from Loire valley and finished with a delightful sake. The grilled sake lees cured cod is amazing, definitely need to try this! It melts in your mouth and is full of delicious goodness. Agendashi tofu was ok but nothing special, pieces were too big losing a lot of flavor to the overwhelming tofu texture. Overall worth checking out! Solid choice, friendly community and yummy foods. read more

Not bad...I like the name! Took me a second to locate this place. Turns out it's right next door to Omakase, which I luv. Sharing the same restrooms. Okane Is different, walk in and it's immediately the chef section. Tables are on the left. We ordered lots of nigiri, ankimo, sushi rolls, scallops and sashimi plate. Loads of uni, 4 orders to be exact(it's a small portion). Ran out of oysters so we couldn't do shooters ={ ordered unfiltered sake and 2 bottles of wine. Turns out we know one of the chef next door, so he gave us some yummy sake to try (gold dragon!!!) it's a fun place, young servers who are very attentive. read more

This a review of their take out. The fish quality was pretty bad to the point where I didn't even care to eat it. The hamachi and salmon nigiri did not taste fresh at all.

Very POOR service. We were so excited to try this place, made a reservation, got there on time, when seated, It took almost 15 minutes until our waitress came to our table to take our order. We quickly ordered a few appetizers and hot sake. She came back after 20 minutes with our appetizers and we ordered our main dishes and some more appetizers. After over 30 mins, she came back with only two of our orders. We waited a bit to get our two other orders, so we can all eat together, but it took so long and after over 45 minutes that nobody came to our table, we gave up. She never even came back to fill up our water. We had to keep asking someone to bring some water to the table. It was very disappointing to have to go through that. We were not able to enjoy our time together and have a nice and relaxing dinner. read more

Okane is definitely trying to take all of my money from me!! My coworkers and I were craving for sushi and stumbled upon this place. Ambience is very classy but you can definitely come in casual clothes. The waitress was definitely good at selling us rolls and sashimi that we weren't planning to get. But it was the right decision because we were in sushi heaven. The wagyu roll was so delicious to the point where my coworkers and I had to decide who should get the last piece. Let's just say those that couldn't get the last piece was so disheartened. The rolls were pretty small that it wasn't filling enough. So we kept on ordering more rolls but that's when they got our okane. I would definitely pass on the uni next time bc it was super tiny. I thought two pieces would be equivalent to one piece. Definitely the place to try for omakase! read more

Fresh, mouthwatering fish. Excellent beef forward small plates. Sashimi - salmon and hamachi - was buttery. Creative sushi rolls; dragon fire was our favorite! Seaweed salad was uncharacteristically not sweet in only the best way. Green tea cheesecake was tasty. Chrissy, thank you for the superb service. read more
