Confused by the 1 star reviews this place has. I eat here almost every week. I've tried almost all the sushi rolls they have to offer and they NEVER disappoint. Habachi is likewise always amazing. Also half price sushi night cannot be beat. This place is the best. Ambiance is also great and the staff is always nice and I never have to wait long for my food. They ALSO offer takeout, and the online order website is very convenient. read more

I was craving hibachi veggies so I placed an order online while I was in the area. I also got the clear soup and the rock shrimp. I enjoyed the veggies & soup were the most. The amount of veggies you received was well with the price. The rock shrimp was my least favorite. It was tempura style shrimp that came with a mayo based sauce. The website said it was spicy but it was extremely bland. Sweet chili sauce or siracha would've been better with the shrimp. read more

Food was awful!!!!, I ordered a stake and shrimp hibachi dinner and let me start by saying that I found the longest piece of hair on the veggies and then I was eating my rice and it had some weird pieces of plastic on it and let me say that I almost threw up read more

Stopped in around 3pm on Sunday. There were lots of cars in the parking lot, but the restaurant was a ghost town. My friend and I both got bento boxes. Oh server was fine, not particularly friendly but in no way rude either. Seen plenty that I would have liked to have tried in the future but I'm not sure if I'll be going back. read more

Came to Okinawa this evening for my wedding anniversary with my wife. The food was amazing as usual. Miso soup was great. We shared a spicy tuna roll. 10 out of 10. Customer service was very good as our waitress & chef made sure we had everything we needed. The Ambiance is always top tier. This is our favorite hibachi restaurant that we've ever been to & my wife & I will indeed be back soon. Thank you as always. A++++ read more

We've been coming for the sushi lunch menu, where you can get a choice of 2 or 3 rolls. The sushi is great - large, nice and full, good amount of rice, tastes great, decent selection. Comes with a super or salad. We haven't tried the salad, but the miso soup is good. And the price is great! One of the best places in the area for lunch! read more

The restaurant added a 20% involuntary gratuity to our bill. We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children, one of which was 4 years old. That's ridiculous. The jokes on them though since left to my own devices I would have tipped more AND I also won't be going back. Better check your bill before you voluntarily tip on top of the mandatory 20 %. read more

Food was amazing and the chef was hilarious! One of the best hibachi experiences! Also pretty flowers out front! read more

Yupp, half price sushi for happy hours is back. Good portions, very fresh, with nice presentation and attentive service. Tea & sake could have been hotter, but the crockery is nice. Very happy...... read more

This place was the best the fried rice was perfect and the habachi chef was very funny

Stopped off here on the way out of town for a work assignment. It had a good yelp rating so I decided to try it out. I was not disappointed at all. Friendly service, nice decor and soft music. I had the lunch special with 3 sushi rolls and salad with ice tea. The food was tasty and it filled me up. I ordered shrimp tempura roll, a salmon roll and white tuna roll. Lunch specials are reasonable with what you get. read more

My first visit to this establishment. Decided to go with three different sushi rolls. I would say the sushi was just average. I really didn't care for the spicy tuna roll, which is something I like pretty much everywhere. Got one of the pricier $15 rolls, it was quite good, but I was a little disappointed that it was just a normal sized sushi roll with 8 pieces. My expectations were a little higher for $15. Overall, the service was average, the food was average, and the pricing was a little above average. Just okay for me. read more

Service was very good. The food was great. I had some Sushi and some fried rice. Everything was delicious. Will be back.

We had a Hibachi dinner tonight around 5:00 o'clock. It was 10 of us sitting around the grill and the chef was amazing and cooked a perfectly very delicious dinner. Our server was awesome as well and was on top of the needs of our Birthday party. I've been a repeat customer of the Okinawa Restaurant for several years and not once have I experienced a poor quality of foods or experienced a bad server, great server's every time. Phil read more

Awful quality sushi. Could not eat and will likely be sick later based on what I did eat.

Traveling through the area. Stayed in town and decided to eat here. Service is ok, but the food not so well. If I had wanted Teriyaki sauce on everything I would have ordered Teriyaki. Everything was drowned in it and it ruined the food. read more

We ordered three House Special Rolls on a weeknight to-go. Overall, all the ingredients in all the rolls seemed to mush together in a bland paste covered in mediocre sauces. The rice in all the rolls had no flavor. There were inedible parts of tough shell in the soft crab tempura. There was almost nothing but rice in the lobster roll, and there was zero taste of lobster. The roll that was supposed to be topped with mango had a stringing, freezer burned tasting orange paste mounded on top. If we had been in the restaurant we would have sent all the rolls back. As it was, we just threw them away. I had no lengthy interaction with the staff, but no one was rude. The local grocery store currently has way better sushi with higher quality ingredients. read more

We went there and decided to do appetizers rather than just sushi or teppenaki. White miso soup was good and I had the seafood hot and sour. Pretty good as well. Next was saki, shrimp sumai , and crab Rangoons. The Ragoons lacked crab filling and flavor. Still a little hungry we ordered tuna roll with avocado and mango sauce yuzu. Best thing we ate and was very delicious.Also; an order of calamari and it came out ringlets and tentacles. Skimpy portion , that was akin to a greasy pile of chewy twigs...awlful. !! Our rather stiff and unfriendly masked server acted as though she really didn't like us? All this wonderful hospitality for $60 A pissy server is a new one on me? read more

This was one of the worst sushi restaurants I have been to. There was barely any filling, just rice. I will never order from here again.

This is your standard hibachi. We actually decided to eat at the normal restaurant side of the business. The only couple of downside were the salad needed to be drained or spun out before being put in a bowl, and the main course came out way too fast to enjoy the soup (actually good flavor) and salad before the meal was delivered. The food was well seasoned and came in around $55 bucks for 2 people. read more

Orderd Sashimi lunch special on grub hub. The condiment, ginger and Wasabi tasted old or spoiled, which made me not trust the raw sashimi. Threw it out and got my money back. Definitely won't be visiting this place to eat. BEWARE!!! read more

Food was so-so was really in the mood for genuine hibachi and this was not it. Maybe because it was take out but the other real restaurant in town is WAY better. read more

If I was writing this review just based on the food, it would 4 stars. My only complaint was that the ginger dressing on the salad was a little grainy and the lobster and shrimp hibachi were overcooked. The soup, steak, chicken, and filet mignon hibachi were all delicious. Our chef, however, was a different story. I was in the middle of a conversation when the chef arrived and instead of waiting for us to finish talking or getting our attention in a polite way, he banged his utensils on the grill and stared at us. Now, after that I was expecting a show and that's not at all what we got. He made a half- ass onion volcano, and decided he was done for the day. No jokes, no tossing of the broccoli, and barely even a smile. He didn't ask how anything was and didn't offer any additional yum yum sauce before taking off. He could not get out of there fast enough. We were in a group of 8 so a 20% gratuity was required for this lackluster service. We paid our bills and before half of us had put our credit cards back in our wallets, a woman who I think was the owner or the manager came up to us and asked us if we were leaving or if she could move us to a different table. I understand if we were lingering for a long time on a busy Saturday night, but as I said we hadn't even been there for 5 minutes after we'd paid. For a group of customers who just spent well over $500, I would have expected to be treated better. I'll probably just stick with takeout if I give this place another chance. read more

They served us a salad with ginger dressing. My husband ate it. My sister and I noticed a white chunk before he ate it, but thought it was cauliflower. Half way through eating, my husband freaked out. He pulled the white chunk out of his mouth, which ended up being a cook's chewing gum in the salad. He almost ate someone's gum. They offered to pay for one meal, but no other actions were made. We were too grossed out to eat our meals. read more

Asian lady very rude!! do not go here , very long wait and nobody care. buffet food is better then this place . go to other Japanese place. I hope this place go under read more

We had a delicious family dinner out at Okinawa tonight. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly to our medium rare order, and so tender and well seasoned. We loved the soup and salad starters and perfect shrimp tempura and crab Rangoon. Our waitress Michelle smiled and served us well and that added to the fun of going out to dinner. Loved the atmosphere here! Highly recommend as a date night! read more

This is the 10th day in a row where I'm sick from eating sushi from this place- had it Doordashed to me, and there's a shit ton of blood in my stool involved now. I been to the ER (was asked to return soon if it doesn't improve, which it hasn't), Medexpress, and gonna see my personal Dr in two days. I love sushi but man did this experience turn me off from it. Now whenever I see it my stomach turns. I'm in so much pain and discomfort like constantly. For about 6 days now I've eaten VERY little bc when I do, it'll make me cramp up 5 mins later, so I'm starving badly, but the cramps are so unbearable that I'd rather starve than deal with them. They tested me for Norovirus and some other virus but ig they came back negative, so I vaguely have the stomach flu of some kind, that's kinda all we know. We're assuming it was either cos of the sushi itself or a sick staff member who made and contaminated it. I'm just so exhausted with dealing with this, I wanna just feel better so bad and eat again. Now I'm spending a shit ton of money on medical bills and am unable to do anything all day but attempt to rest. read more

1/2 price sushi is back! The food is great and the servers are friendly and attentive! We also love their Chinese classic dishes: sesame chicken, and general Tsao chicken. The portions are large for 2 people and enough for the next day lunch!!! The hibachi was a great experience too. Love the all the protein choices, salmon, steak, shrimp and chicken. My absolute favorite is the buttery fried rice! read more

I will start by saying I've had some of the best sushi in Japan and Thailand and with that said realize it is different in the USA. But the wasabi is anything but wasabi the only reason you call it wasabi is it's green in color. I received no soy sauce. And to top it off I have never had sushi with fish bones in it. Would not recommend read more

After reading all the negative reviews I wanted to give this place the benefit of doubt. By far the worse sushi I've had. I'll start with the negatives before moving on to the positives. There's only a couple of sushi places in town that are worth trying. Wanted to try this place for the first time. Ordered about five different roles to try. Each roll that came out lack the main protein and rice. Majority of the rolls were stuff with avocado. I wish I would've taken pictures to upload because the rolls were very poorly made. The grocery store pre made sushi would've been better. Not even exaggerating. Can't give a detail review on their hibachi but I could only imagine. It's unclear if you're suppose to be seated or you pick your own seats. Eventually we picked our own seats. We were greeted by different servers because they didn't know who was serving who. Probably just a miscommunication. From the outside the restaurant looks small but it's bigger than expected. Decoration was good but we don't come to a restaurant to look at walls. I hope you find my review helpful and many others below. I definitely wouldn't recommend their sushi. read more

Absolutely awful, sashimi was weird and very low quality fish. I do not suggest you try this place unless you want your face in a toilet the whole night. read more

Use fresh garlic please. The hibachi meals were very garlicky, which I'm fine with, but there's no excuse for using garlic out of a jar. It made everything taste processed, like chemicals, lousy. Use fresh garlic please. read more

My best friend and i love coming here for friend time. So delicious and so yummy. Thank you very much!

Came here despite the 1 review. Little did we know that this place has only been opened for 10 days (as of writing of this review). We were pleasantly surprised and I know the restaurant will do very well in the long run. We ordered drunken noodles with shrimp, Yellow submarine roll, Hot Girl roll, Monster Roll, and Gina Roll. Overall, everything was excellent. The drunken noodles definitely had the spices in it. A nice strong kick. The sauce was not overly sweet and they gave us 7 pieces of shrimps. That's a lot in my opinion. The portion is definitely for 1 person. I think for 2 people will not be enough to share. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the ingredients used were fresh (eg nappa and carrots). The Yellow submarine roll was awesome. The mango was not sour, sweet enough to balance out the roll. They also paid attention to detail, the mangoes were thinly sliced and meticulously laid over each other. The Hot Girl roll was well balanced. The avocado was thinly sliced and like the mangoes, were meticulously placed over each other for the entire length of the roll. The roll wasn't too spicy and you can definitely taste the salmon and tuna inside it, i couldn't taste the yellowtail as much but that is to be expected with all these strong flavors. The Monster Roll was tasty. They definitely don't skimp out on the eel. You can definitely taste it and the seaweed they used was very tasty. The Gina Roll was really good. I personally feel that they could use less sauce on the roll to better display the tuna, salmon, or yellowtail (whichever one you choose to be on top). It was difficult for me to taste the lobster. Despite this, the tempura portion of the roll was amazing. It was lightly fried and not overly oily. Definitely a good balance between the meat and batter. Just from this little taste test, I bet their tempuras would be amazing. Service was excellent. The owner came and chatted with us a couple of times. One complaint is that the attention to water level for my glass was overlooked. But then again, you can't expect something like this from this kind of establishment. One interesting thing is that the smoke from the grill on the other side of the restaurant did not come over to the dining area. I was quite pleased with that. One thing I would recommend is to have boba/tapioca at this place. The next nearest place to get it is in downtown, which is like 40ish miles away!! I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come here again. My prediction is that I expect the next time I come back to this place, they will have a solid 4.5 stars. read more

This place is awesome ..! They were busy and did their best to serve everyone. The drinks were awesome and Shana did a great job in making sure we were always refilled and the drinks were good. Would definitely come back..!!! New Fav Place..!!! read more

The sister restaurant to Ginger Asian, I must say I was impressed (except for one time, hence the lack of a star, but it was for a tiny reason). The food there is plentiful and very good. I always like their Udon soup as well as it is sauteed. You feel good and ample after having it. For noodle soup lovers, this is a must. Their drunken noodles are also quite tasty. They are not overpowering like Thai Winchester, and not as boring as Sucilee's, but it still leaves a nice kick in the mouth that makes you still feel like you had something to eat. Their sushi was presented very neatly, and did not seem to fall apart when I brought it back. It had a terrific flavor and was certainly willing to try another kind of roll. The prices are what you'd expect for a Sushi Bar, but it was still a nice place to try and will continue to eat there (plus they have discounts on Thursdays, half off sushi I think), and that's already a reason to go there. I'll definitely be ordering here again. This place left a nice imprint on me, somebody who really thinks highly of Asian cuisine. read more

Stop. No. And don't. Sushi is my second favorite food (after indian). I have eaten sushi on the west coast, land-locked mid-west, and up and down the east coast from NY to Miami. I have had great and not-so-great experiences. In all of that time I have never had a piece of sushi so distasteful that I had to spit it out or gag. I do not spit out food. I think it's gross, crass, rude and over-dramatic. Well. I had to spit out this sushi. We were fooled by the pictures and rave reviews. We did a very large to-go order for a party platter of rolls. Butterfly roll, Out of control roll, Nobu roll, Amazing tuna roll, Gina roll, Yellow submarine roll, Frankenstein roll, Hot girl roll, and Godzilla roll. Out of all of that there were only 2 rolls I could stand at all. The Frankenstein and one other but not sure which. There was some weird pepper taste to nearly all of it. Like cheap imitation table pepper. It permeated everything. My husband suspects it must be something in how they make their rice. Anyway. It was awful. Just awful. And one roll with an american/mexican tasting cheap hot-sauce on it. Ugh. The flavors were just muddy and weird. Nothing tasted fresh. If you want good sushi in Winchester go to Chop Stick Cafe or Awabi. We disliked this enough that we will not be wasting our money giving them a second chance. As it is we wound up throwing away 1/3 of our party platter. Usually we crush bigger orders than this happily. But this? No one even wanted to eat it after the first few bites. read more

So, this place has a killer sushi appetizer for like 9 bucks if you like sashimi. It's our go to when we order here. But, what makes me avoid this place is the wait time. Everytime i order to go they give me a pickup time but even though i come when they estimate, I'm always waiting much much longer. Of they need more time, cool, but tell me "hey, this is gonna take 45 minutes to an hour" instead of just telling me to come in 20 minutes. Bento box lunch deal is also good. read more
