Walked into Okinii like a calm, hungry man... walked out warmer, fuller, and slightly in love. Started with shrimp tempura--crispy, clean, no nonsense. Miso soup did its job like a professional. Then came the pork katsu. Not the usual curry situation--this one's dressed in a sweet BBQ sauce and swinging for the fences. Big portion. No regrets. Final boss move: hot yuzu sake on a freezing NYC night. That's not a drink, that's a hug in a cup. read more

Wanted to try new sushi spot, Okinii in Greenwich Village had great wings, an awesome sushi selection, and quick, friendly service. Despite the busy area outside, there's usually plenty of space to get a table, making it an easy choice. read more

Very delicious sushi, nice thick cuts and fresh. The miso soup was also yummy. Many people had hot dishes as well that looked really good so I'd like to try that on the next visit. We did have to wait a long time for the check, over 20 min at least. Otherwise a great spot. read more

Lunch specials are great. I have gotten the chirashi twice. It is very consistent. Nothing premium though. Just your typical tuna, salmon, yellowtail, mackerel, and tomago. Comes with soup or salad. Always ready by the time I walk over (within 15mins). read more

Nice sushi spot with reasonably priced lunch specials. 2 sushi rolls for $14 with either a soup or salad. I opted for miso soup with a spicy tuna and shrimp tempura roll. Flavor was great, my only bone to pick was that the nori was a bit chewy and hard to eat. Service was excellent and very fast. The restaurant itself was quiet during lunchtime which was nice. read more

pretty good hibachi, not the best ive had but it was solid for the price. i tried the chicken hibachi which came with miso soup. the soup was standard but i wouldve preferred more tofu. the hibachi was a good size, and included chicken, oranges, and veggies. i paid an extra $5 for fried rice. the rice was just alright, and the veggies overall didn't taste the freshest. service was good. the place is quite cute inside with adorable dish ware. also no wait time for 2, and there was lots of seating inside. to note, the hibachi chef side experience is only available at dinner time which i was not aware of beforehand. read more

Walked in here by myself after a happy hour event! I needed food and quickly! I was seated immediately by the hostess, who was so friendly and sweet. Right away a server came by to take my order, after a quick glance at the menu I knew what I needed, wings and my fav Salmon rolls. Within 10 minutes I had my drink and wings to start. The wings were crispy and seasoned perfectly. I tried to eat them as modestly as possible but I couldnt help myself; they were really good. The salmon roll was fresh and filling! Since I was by myself the staff would stop by and chat with me for a little bit which was super sweet. All in all I was there for 30minutes total. As a native new yorker, i love when i can get in and out of a place within 30 minutes and feel like i had a 1-2hr experience. I will definitely go back! read more

Stopped in for a lunch with a colleague and wasn't disappointed. At the back of the restaurant, there's a hibachi station and the chef seemed to have the crowd entertained when I visited. The food we ordered was pretty typical and didn't really wow us but the pricing was decent and it did come with free sake shot at the end of our meal. read more

I came here with my dad for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. The restaurant is pretty big, which standard tables in the front section and hibachi grills in the back. I had the sashimi lunch special, which came with five different types of fish and some rice on the side. I thought it tasted fresh and was a nice selection. We also ordered uni sushi (not the freshest), toro, and an eel avocado roll (mostly avocado, not very much eel). Definitely not a bad sushi spot, and they have a ton of lunch specials. read more

I got sick after eating here. The presentation of the food was great. The service was good. Everything tasted good until I got home shortly after with stomach cramps and the runs. I found myself at this restaurant after looking for a local place to eat on Yelp, and by the reviews it seemed like it was going to be good. It wasn't busy for a Friday evening. We were seated immediately, and the staff was quite friendly. We ordered the Sushi Pizza and 3 Sushi rolls. I believe the culprit was the Sushi Pizza. I was the only one who had the sushi pizza in my group. And, I was the only one who got sick. The Sushi Pizza was also my least favorite of everything we ordered. I expected it to be spicy tuna on top of crispy rice, but instead I got Spicy Tuna on top of a flour tortilla. I eat sushi often and never had this reaction. All of the other rolls we ordered were tempura rolls. The Sushi Pizza was the only Raw Tuna Entree ordered. Something was definitely off with the Spicy Tuna. I felt terrible afterwards. I wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, I cant vouge for the freshness of the food. read more

Went at 8pm on a Friday. Not too busy, we were seated easily. Very quick service and friendly! We shared the scallion pancakes and dumplings. The scallion pancakes in particular were super flaky and delicious! I ordered the salmon avocado roll as well as two pieces of salmon nigiri. Both were very fresh, and prices were affordable for the area. Cute casual place for a sushi dinner, would definitely come back! read more

Good! Not to die for but still good and I think it's a good place to come for some simple Japanese food. The ramen was good, I enjoyed it and my friend liked her udon noodles. We were in the mood for noodles and soup so we didn't try their sushi, but walking past it, it looked good! We shared the crispy tuna appetizer which I probably wouldn't get again but it wasn't bad. Will come Back! read more

Was looking for a sushi spot around this area and landed here at Okinii. They were about to close but they let us in anyways which was great since I told them it was gonna be a quick visit. Had the need to have some sushi and this place was a hit. The sushi didn't disappoint great taste and decent portion. I had the spicy tuna while my daughter had the California roll. We were in and out within 20 minutes which of course helped them be on time for them to close. I would totally recommend they for a longer visit to try other things again. read more

This was a happy mistake. We were supposed to go a different restaurant but my friend put in the wrong address. No problem, we still had a good experience. I got the veggie ramen, shrimp tempura and shrimp tempura roll. I couldn't finish the ramen since it was too salty but the roll was delicious and the tempura was great. The sake was great. My friend got a little tipsy haha. One of the waiters were really nice and gave us free shots on the house. Service was good, food was decent. I had a good experience. read more

Made an afternoon reservation on a Sunday for my little guy's birthday... arrived early and found that the reservation wasn't necessary and oddly they didn't allow me to specify we wanted the hibachi grill specifically. They took us to regular seating upon arrival and we had to ask if we could do hibachi (the reason we were there). The space is a good size and standard decorations for such a place. It was a little cluttered and not exactly spic-and-span but they are making things work in that regard. Seriously strange was the amount of employees just kinda chilling, meaning more than one literally lying down in the booths and sleeping while people dined. It was hard to get over while we attempted to enjoy our celebration nearby. Perhaps most importantly to me was that the staff was not inclined to make us feel welcome or look after us in any way. The lady working the front was kind but she didn't serve us (except when our own server stopped showing up). No one smiled or greeted us, and our own server seemed like she hated us being there. Our server was not accommodating, not helpful, not pleasant. She didn't want to work around our one person's dietary restrictions, didn't offer the listed options but instead assumed our choices. She didn't offer us sake. She didn't acknowledge when we told her it was our 7-year old's birthday. She alone almost single-handedly ruined our birthday experience, and we almost walked out while she was taking the order. And while we almost didn't see her most of the meal, she lingered around our table when she was waiting for the tip. That is no exaggeration. The bright spot was our hibachi chef. He was awesome - very attentive and accommodating. He put on a great show, catered toward our birthday boy, and did his best to work around the dietary restriction. He made a balloon hat for the birthday boy and made him feel special. Everything he did was with us in mind and he deserves to be recognized. He made it (almost) worthwhile and the only reason they got two stars. It was only because of him that we tipped a normal amount, as we assumed they shared it. The food was pretty standard - we had four hibachi meals (one with special dietary needs) - and the prices were a bit high but such is life in West Village. Portions were pretty typical also in regard to protein, while the rice was a bit skimpy (odd considering it is the cheapest). You pay $6 extra for fried rice over the advertised white rice. The food was fine, at best, but the chef's performance made it worthy. Overall, certainly not a spot I will visit again, if nothing else because of the server. I wish I could say differently but that is not the case. read more

I took my parents here for Valentine's Day and their birthday's in a combined gift. The food was delicious. I really enjoyed my time here. I will always vouch for the Lady Gaga sushi roll and not just because I'm a fan. If you are looking for good-quality sushi. No, not just good, great-quality sushi, you have come to the right place. There are some things that this restaurant could do a lot better regarding some of the things I mentioned before, but I really enjoy coming here because of the price, the options, the ingredients, and the quality. I can't emphasize the quality part. You would be crazy not to come here and try the sushi. In fact, try everything. read more

Overall ok place but it could be quite loud and disturbing if there is a large group at the hibachi table. Went on a Saturday night, all nearby Japanese restaurants are out of reservations, so we (a group of 4) decided to come here. Ordered the sushi boat and some side dishes. The sushi boat was very fancy! Good for instagram. Fish also tastes relatively fresh. The negative part is that there was a large party at the hibachi table, who constantly cheered and yelled. I understand it's natural for hibachi but with no separation with regular tables it's highly disturbing and we felt like we could not have a good conversation because of it. read more

I enjoyed the sushi options they offered as well as the variety of how to prepare the foods - with rice, cucumber or soy - based on dietary preferences. Don't really see that often so was impressed. read more

if yelp had half stars, then i would give okinii 3.5 stars. the restaurant was quite empty, considering my friends and i went on a friday night. we got the takoyaki and a side of hibachi steak to share. since i am not the biggest fan of takoyaki in general, i would describe it as just okay. however, we asked for the steak to be cooked medium, but it was more well-done. we also thought it was not worth $12, but looking at the appetizer prices again, it seems fitting. for my main dishes, i went for the spicy miso ramen and spicy salmon hand roll. as a disclaimer, i've had spicy miso ramen elsewhere many times, but this one tasted more like tom yum soup than spicy miso. it was a gloomy day, and i was looking for some warm noodle soup, so needless to say, i was pretty disappointed. also, if my memory serves me correctly, i ordered a hand roll but got regular rolls instead. it must have been a careless mistake, or the waitress did not hear me correctly. the sushi rice was hard, so i was disappointed yet again. my final verdict is if you are looking for a restaurant with a vast menu that has a variety of japanese food from ramen and sushi to hibachi, then this might be worth a try. however if you are looking for restaurants that specialize in ramen or sushi, then i would look elsewhere. read more
