Excellent food and even better service thanks to Kristy ! We come at least twice month.

We love this place. The sushi is great, the ramen is good, and our 4 year old daughter loves the teriyaki bento box. The atmosphere is relaxing and we always have a great time. So glad we've found a nice sushi place close to home. read more

Food and service were great! Sushi was delicious! Definitely coming back when in the area again

Last night was our first time at this establishment and we were extremely impressed by the selection of rolls, the decent price point and the amazing service by the staff. We were celebrating my wife's 40th birthday and I had brought a cake in earlier in the day for them to bring out after dinner as a surprise. Kristi was our server and she made sure our overall experience was top notch. The sushi was better than average and I won't say the it's the best I've ever had just because we recently moved for the Bay Area and have become spoiled but it was really good sushi. While we couldn't make reservations because our party was too small, they offer plenty of tables and we were seated right away. They even had some specialty rolls we had not seen before so we'll definitely be back in the near future. Wonderful experience and thank you for making our celebration even better! read more

We had the spicy tuna poppers.... We didn't enjoy them at all but the sushi made up for the appetizer Nigiri sushi, dragon king roll and the phoenix roll everything was all good read more

This place has changed several times over the years I have been going here. Most recently they have changed the decorations to a lot more relaxed with banners and screenings along with Japanese music and dinner lights. The sushi did have a downswing after their main chef left, but has become much better this year after a bit of a slump, going back to being fresh with good ingredients. Kristi is an excellent waitress and is always friendly when she is there as well. If you go during g lunchtime, it can be rather unpredictable if there's going to be a crowd or almost deserted, although it does tend to become busier after 1 PM. I particularly enjoy their Ika Karage when I go as a snack, and the food comes out pretty quickly as long as you don't hit the lunch crowd. read more

My boyfriend and I are regulars. We're here at least once a Month and go all out. The sushi rolls are good, the ramen is good, the oysters are good and the sake is good. Great customer service, they all remember us by now. Peaceful atmosphere with relaxing music. read more

Visited Okawa April 29th and upon entering the place was very clean and I was greeted immediately by the nice hostess. I ordered a California Roll and another Specialty roll which I have forgotten the name of but it was very delicious. The sushi tasted fresh. Although a bit on the high end of pricing I will definitely return. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night right before 5 pm. A few tables had patrons already and got even busier by 530 pm. Decided to mix things up and try their ramen. Chose tonkatsu ramen with black garlic with cha su. The broth was pretty good. Had simple ingredients of bamboo shoots , shitaki mushrooms, one soft boiled egg and garlic of course besides the noodles. Bowl size was pretty large and had lots of noodles. So much that I couldn't even eat the dragon roll we ordered. I give the ramen a solid 4.5 score and would get again when I'm craving something other than sushi. My wife had the salmon teriyaki. Simple presentation with rice and gyoza. Overall. It was a nice meal. It's not my top Japanese restaurant but solid place to eat. read more

I'm saying three stars not because it's bad but because I have to explore it more. Tried it once and I'd like believe I'm a picky eater however I got it for the fist time to go. I'll say it wasn't bad but maybe I need some better referrals on rolls. Service was great. Place is very nice and clean. Very modern but has the vibe. read more

Tasty food, superb service, high quality sashimi, and good ambiance. Always my go to after work with my boyfriend

Food, service everything was amazing. Their mussels were straight killer. Oysters were delicious, every roll we ordered came better and better. Definitely my go to spot now in Modesto . read more

Best sushi ever. Customer service is wonderful. The setting is so peaceful and calm. I get the cherry blossom roll and it's delicious. Way better than Umi. read more

Great food! The atmosphere was calming. Felt like we were having a private meal in a full restaurant. Customer service was great! Our waitress was attentive and anticipated our needs. Food was served quickly. read more

I absolutely love the teriyaki salmon here. It's not overly sweet like some are and it comes on a bed of onions which I just adore. Delicious! They were seriously understaffed today which made things mega slow (hence the loss of a star) but the lady who was running around serving all the tables, bringing drinks, answering phones, and dealing with takeout orders was a rock star. My son ordered a sweet heart roll and it was just the prettiest dang roll ever, so I had to review just to share how cute this is. read more

Modesto-We were starving and stopped in to enjoy some sushi. The service was exceptionally slow, but the food was excellent. We had a Salmon Bento Box, two California Rolls, a Crunchy Munchy Roll, and some edamame. Everything was fresh, cooked perfectly, and the servings were huge. The place was very clean too! The place absolutely needs more waitresses and another sushi chef. The place was packed and they were the only two people working. (It was noon.) read more

Switched up a Modesto sushi spot. It's in a newer shopping center so it's super clean inside & modern. Good service & lots of choices. Myself & my husband were not disappointed! We got spicy edamame and three rolls. They tasted fresh & were well made. Thought the Phoenix was going to be the favorite but it was actually our least favorite (was always rank our food lol). Will definitely go back. read more

Tried this place for the 2nd time with family and we all loved it. I did not have the Sashimi but I've seen plenty of bowls and this one had huge slices and was told it was good. The Hibachi was decent, chicken was a little tough so not the best but the steak was tender and delicious. The rice as a serving was a little hard so also needing a little help to perfect. Mic had teriyaki chicken and again it was dry/tough inside. The flavor was on point though. No pictures for the sushi, apologies, and these were perfect. We had Cherry Blossom, Hotel Ca, and Rock n Roll. Definitely will be back and try some other rolls. Waitress was nice and service was great. The place is quiet and clean and a nice vibe for dinning. I know I made some points about the dinner not being perfect but overall I'd be back for sushi and their other options. read more

First time visiting, and this will definitely be our new spot. We had a table of 5. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. We were warmly welcomed, all of our questions were kindly answered, and the staff checked on us often. The food was absolutely delicious--we loved everything we tried. The spicy edamame was my favorite, and the presentation of the rolls was beautiful. Highly recommend! read more

Ambiance when we walked in was promising. But once we were seated the waiter ignored us and helped and placed order for three tables that came after us. Our 1.5 yr old was with us and waitress didn't acknowledge him at all, didn't even get water. Once we finally placed the order, it to 20 min to get our water and appetizer edamame which was poorly heated (part of the pieces were cold while others were hot, either served it cold and all warm not this). From the moment we placed our order it took an hour to arrive at our table. Other tables that ordered after us were getting their food first, mind you my husband order raw meat does really take much time to prep that compared to the rolls other tables got (shoot I got my ramen before he got his food). I ordered a Californian tempura roll that had no tempura (why place it in the name if it isn't on the dish). My ramen was salty boarder uneatable (need some green onion to cut through the salt at the minimum). Husband wait to get regular soy sauce never came (ask for it twice). On the bright side waitress was speedy when we asked for the bill (we only waited a few minutes for her to get back with the receipt). read more

This was my first time visiting and everything was delicious! I loved the interior and calm ambiance. We ordered the monster roll, paradise roll, and an order of smoked and raw salmon nigiri.The nigiri tasted fresh and rolls were amazing. Our waitress was great as well. Would definitely return! read more

10/5 stars if I could!! We booked a large table to celebrate my friend. Service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. We brought a cake and they let us put it in the fridge. We had a candle to put on it, but they added on extra candles they even play their own birthday song over the speaker?! Amazing. They truly went above and beyond, so if you are looking to have a large group gathering to celebrate, this is the place to go!! Also, the food was great. I loved my lava roll and my friends enjoyed their rolls as well. The pork gyoza and spicy edamame were great. Thank you!! read more

Always consistent always good come here at least once a week. Service is always on point

We ordered two rolls , the cherry blossom and the crunchy munchy. The sushi was very good. The tempura was terrible . It was thick and heavy and dry . Like no tempura I've ever had. We left more than half of it. We will come back but for sushi only. The service was great . Fast , kind, polite and the establishment appeared to be clean and well cared for. read more

I finally found my favorite sushi spot in town. Service is always great and attentive. It gets pretty busy for dinner but the food is delish! Their fried rice is the best fried rice I've ever had, so simple yet so delish. I've gone twice and tried different rolls each time. Golden Phoenix: would order this again and again! Ichi Ban is good if you want a lighter roll since it's wrapped with cucumber. Sassy and Dragon are both really good too but I think Golden phoenix is our fave. read more

I have ordered from this restaurant many times, and the food is pretty good. Most of the items I ordered for delivery today were wonderful. We got the fried oysters, California roll, Crouching tiger roll, and the Rock n Roll. The following is a review of a salad. I ordered the Steak Salad and I'm very disappointed. The website has no description of this item, and neither did Yelp. What I received was a few ounces of unseasoned char-burnt steak. Sliced, over a bed of iceberg lettuce with no dressing in sight. No seasoning or any sauce on the entire dish. This in no way resembles a salad, other than lettuce under the meat. I'm hoping that maybe they forgot the toppings since it was a delivery order. read more

Amazing service and to-die-for tempura! I have not had one bad thing here, that I have personally tried. The wait staff are always coming around asking if we're good, automatically refilling water glasses, and friendly. I was very impressed. The prices are not too high and the portion amount is certainly never skimpy! Has a good, causal layout for sitting, either in booths or at the bar. Has an inviting feeling when you walk in. Recommend! read more

Daughter wanted sushi for her birthday dinner so I brought her here. We were in the Modesto area and this seemed to have the best reviews. It was a nice comfortable place and all the workers seemed nice. I will say when we first got there it took awhile for someone to come take our order. Not sure if they were just understaffed or what. But once we were able to order the food didn't take too long to come out. I will say that all the food and sushi we had were very good and satisfying! The waitress even brought my daughter a nice dessert for her birthday! If I ever want good sushi that is a decent price I know where to go now! I would also like to go back to try their Hibachi menu. read more

Simply the best Sushi in town. Non sushi menu items are also top notch. We love this place!

Very good food! The downfall is the volume level of the music. Music in a restaurant should be behind the scenes and not the main event. Turn that shit down read more

The sushi is really good. This is my favorite place. The place is clean and the waiters are attentive.

I've ordered through DoorDash twice, by accident. I thought I was ordering from another place my husband went to with his co-workers. I've only tried a few delicious items. CA rolls - very fresh and reasonably priced Crunchy Munchy Roll - crispy fried onions on the outside, soft and fresh goodness inside Volcano Roll - crabmeat and creamy avocado inside, scallops, mayo, and sauce on top No complaints. I would order again! read more

My husband and I love this place. We take a trip here whenever we can (about once a month). Food: Hawaiian & Fuji mountain are probably at the top of our list. We've tried many rolls on the menu, all really good but those two are favorites. The fish in the sushi rolls taste fresh and melt in your mouth. Flavorful. Service: Great service by the waitresses every time we go. Friendly and communicative. This place is definitely a go back to restaurant for us. read more
