Great vibe!! Food is outstanding. We love the tuna poke bowl and the sushi cones. Tried the new dessert, cream puff, so good. Also love the homemade ginger ale. Abraham is our usual waiter and he is fantastic. Great food great staff amazing food. read more

I LOVEEE this spot. the crispy caviar nugget was the most fun bite ever and actually tasted as good as it sounds. everything was so fresh, came out looking beautiful, and the textures were on point. this is such a "order a bunch and share" place. cozy inside, super nice service, and I'm already thinking about going back just for that nugget again Also the hand towel made my hands awesome! read more

We came here for dinner and everything was amazing. It is expensive but the quality of the food is worth it. We started with the 4 pieces of crispy rice (scallop, salmon, tuna and wagyu) and they were all amazing. My favorite was probably the tuna and wagyu. We also got a caviar nugget and this was great to try but we probably wouldn't get it again. We then got a variety of sushi pieces and they were all amazing, fresh, and great sauces. Lastly, we got the soft serve with every topping on the side and it was the perfect ending to the meal. We would definitely come back. read more

Came in on a busy Friday night and managed to get a spot with no reservation. Not something I would overly recommend, I think we got lucky! It was a delicious intimate dining experience. The food comes to your table as it ready and I don't think you can really go wrong with anything on the menu. Each dish and bite was better one after the other! For 2, we had the following: 2 hand rolls, 4 sashimi, 1 crispy rice and 3 robota. This was just enough. We maybe could have done one more thing but overall we were really satisfied. The hand rolls are delectable. Super fresh and packed with all the tasty goodness as you make your way through the roll. They also have a wide selection of sashimi, all of which were amazing and carefully articulated with the most flavor packed garnishments. For the robota we went with the chef selection. The steak was so tender you could break it apart with chop sticks. The chicken was also delicious and packed with flavor. When I go back, im just diving into the chefs special in all of the sections, it's really the way to go! Highly recommend for some great Asian eats in Rye! read more

Cozy and intimate place. It looks like it seats 50 people including bar area. I want to give it a 3.5 star, but it is a place worth going. Open kitchen. It's clean. Food was good. Some dishes better than others. We like the sake. The appetizer was good - blister shishito peppers - The nigiri was good - the sushi rice and pairing with the fish was a good combo. Robata was good. Salmon and pear was nicely done and paired together, wagyu beef was a little tough, mushroom and eggplant was ok. The beef and veggie- needed the pairing sauce. Temaki/ hand roll, we had 3 rolls salmon, tuna and scallops. They were ok. The fish was overly sauced. The crispy rice - beef and scallop. Typically my favorite, but the rice was overly crispy, made it too chewy. read more

My husband and I visited this restaurant on a Sunday night, and it was pretty busy but we were able to get a 745 reservation. It's definitely an upscale and intimate restaurant, and the fish is extremely high-quality. We tried a variety of dishes off the menu, including otoro hand rolls, black cod and fatty tuna belly Nigiri, crispy rice tuna - every single bite was extremely fresh, and melted like butter. The chicken bao buns were delicious with crunchy crispy chicken and a soft bun. The steak skewer was smoky, charred and salty. Overall, the food was absolutely delicious, but I would recommend reviewing the prices. You do need to order quite a bit to have a substantial meal, and most of the sushi on the menu is sold per piece. Definitely worth trying and I plan on going back soon! read more

I came here with my family on a Friday night for dinner. It was pretty busy, we initially got seated outside but it was quite windy, so we requested if we could actually sit inside and they were really nice about it and seated us inside. The inside felt cozy and intimate. The food came shortly after and it was delicious! We shared the 10 piece nigiri and bento box as well as some hand rolls and they were all amazing. I think my favorite was the spicy scallop hand roll, but I'd recommend all of them any day! 10/10 absolutely coming back. read more

Random Restaurant Post work drink enjoyed @oko.rye . It looks deceivingly Japanese, but the food options here are Japanese-inspired and created by non-Japanese. Knowing that at the onset, I did enjoy the generous servings of crunchy and heavily battered tempura, chef's special set of "his and hers" nigiri set (for those with a companion/date, two of every kind) and their affordable "Teishoko" meal aka Chef's Meal that has the entire food group covered. Best of all, I enjoyed the restaurant's location in Rye right beside a good-size library with a big lawn and the warm and cleverly designed interiors. Located in Rye, this place is family-friendly despite the bar. Young kids seem at home here #curious_eater #westchesterny read more

Simply one of the best sushi restaurants in Westchester. The only problem with it is it's tiny, so getting a table at peak hours can be next to impossible though the staff is always accommodating if they can be. Unique appetizers that are truly delightful and a large range of choices for your non sushi eating friends and family to choose from. We live OKO. We just struggle to get in! lol read more

Service is attentive but not intrusive . The food is fresh and delicious! The location is convenient.

Food 6/10 Honestly it's quite solid seafood, but some of the flavor combinations for the omakase set just did not hit and did not make sense. The Nigori was quite yummy, and paired well with the sashimi. Not the freshest seafood I've had, but it was still very solid, albeit being a bit overpriced. The tempura was lovely though. Atmosphere 7/10 Very bustling little restaurant in Rye, despite it being 8pm on a Thursday night. Super cute interior, clean cut and minimalistic. Service 10/10 We sat at the bar and I loved our bartender. She was super helpful and let me try a sake that I did not end up ordering. It was quite busy, but she was trying her best and I really appreciated that. read more

Pricy but delicious. I had the chef's choice on the handrolls. If you have the $$ to spend, I would say it is an amazing choice. For me, I would only go here if I was either not hungry or just looking for a snack. Otherwise, you are looking at a $100 easy for a meal and a glass of wine or two. read more

Picked this place to try for my birthday dinner. Place is modern, had a bar with seating area and there were some outdoor seating as well. To start, I ordered "one knight only" drink and it was refreshing. For the table we opted to order a few dishes to share since they were small plates. Food was incredible, everything was so fresh and tasty. Presentation was great. My favorites were the pork belly buns (so crispy!) and the spicy tuna crispy. But all the food was amazing and the drinks too. To end I ordered "Clementina" and it was so good and had that real clementine fresh flavor. Service was great, all the staff were amazing, helpful and accommodating. I recommend making reservations. Would definitely recommend this place for any occasion, they even have a kids bento box. read more

I recently ate at Oko to celebrate a friends visit to my hometown of Rye, NY. I would like to start by stating that my family, friends, and I have dined at Oko many times since it opened on Purchase St. We make it our business to support the local restaurants knowing that many have failed within this particular part of town due to either poor food or even worse customer service. Overall the food at Oko has been excellent. The service has been decent as well. However, my most recent experience left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth and will ensure that I NEVER return to Oko. Mind you, my table was ordering non stop dishes and cocktails and fully intended on continuing to show our patronage... that is until we were essentially told that our time was up after an hour and that another party needed our table and we needed to transition to the crowded bar area. We were APPALLED by this LOW CLASS move and were utterly insulted. I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants and never received this treatment. It was an absolute EMBARRASSMENT and the ownership at Oko should be ASHAMED. If the restaurant is that desperate to turn tables while customers are still eating then they will not last long in Rye and will be out of business. I will make it my business to issue this complaint to the NY Chapter of the Better Business Bureau and Rye Economic and Business Council to inform them of this matter. Abraham did his best to provide excellent service after we were insulted and apologized for the rudeness of his colleagues. We tipped him handsomely despite the POOR TREATMENT. If you are in Rye DO NOT DINE at OKO. Dine at FOGAMA instead where they know how to treat customers with class and grace. As long time resident of Rye there are MANY, MANY better places to dine. Zero rating for this establishment. read more

I am a sushi snob, and the last time I ate at OKO in Rye I felt as though it was as good as the best of any place in Manhattan. After last nights meal, I can confidently say that OKO is BETTER than anything I have had in the city or Westchester County. Chef Brian has added some amazing new hand rolls, including the A5, a super Toro, and a Lobster hand roll that will all knock your socks off. The fact that OKO gets better every time I go there is hard to comprehend, but it is my reality. Hurry up and get over to OKO in Rye and try the hand roll experience, and everything else on the fabulous menu! read more

Super high ratings here not warranted. Mediocre food, loud, crowded. If this was NY city, you could understand, but they charge Manhattan prices for less than you would get in the city. Downtown Rye has become a rip off in almost every instance. Travel anywhere for better food, value and service. read more

Have eaten here about 10 times since it opened years ago. We've witnessed the quality of the food go down hill, the service get worse, and the prices steadily go up. While it may have some of the best sushi in Westchester, there's nothing special about the experience except the high prices. This place is now officially in rip-off territory. Think we've finally had our last visit. read more

My mother and I had the pleasure of dining at Oko in Rye. Marysol and Sarah provided great service! They knew the menu inside and out and elevated our entire dining experience. Both couldn't have been any nicer. With regards to the food. Everything was top notch. We were super impressed by the Marinated King Salmon Poke with smoked soy, white miso aioli, arugula, and nori. The Lotus Root Tempura. The Uni Toast with milk bread, umeboshi, goat's milk butter, and smoked trout roe. The Pork Belly Boa with squid caramel, black garlic aioli, and napa kimchi. And, the Cedar Smoked Black Cod Nigiri with crispy beets, and horseradish. Oko is a small intimate space great for an evening out, serving top quality food and staffed with even greater people!! read more

worst Japanese food I have ever eat. The environment is just horrible, too many ants climbing on the table, even climb up to your body. All the chef selection temporo they give me is eggplant. Food is too expensive and little size. It is not Japanese at all. read more

Everything about this place is a 10/10! The service is always welcoming and attentive. The ambience is so chic and perfect for any girls night or even date night. But the most important part, of course, is the impeccable food. I always order the lobster ramen and it SLAPS every single time. It never ever disappoints! The seafood here is so fresh and perfectly prepared. I love it so so much! The absolute best of Westchester for sure! read more

Made reservation for two people, when we came in, they put us at a huge table next to the door. It was so awkward to seat at the 6 persons table when it's just two of you, not including the fact that it was so cold next to the door since they have only one door. Clearly they need a double door for the restaurant. We asked to be moved and they said "tables are limited but we will try, it will mean your will have less time on the dining experience". We loved anyways. Next to us there was a table of like 10 girls celebrating birthday, they were like 11-12 years old, loud, singing and laughing. How is restaurant ok doing that? That's not a pizza place! You cannot allow kids have a laid party when you are dining in such restaurant, paying $12 for a piece of nori. That was so weird. You should not allow kids party. Two couples wanted to move away from the table because it was unbearable. We ordered appetizers, bento box, poke bowl. Needless to say our sushi never arrived, lady forgot to place an order I guess. We were done with main dish and did not ask for sushi pieces since we wanted them before main, and clearly stated that. Bento box was very mediocre, nothing special. Sushi cone was very good, best part of the dinner. Poke bowl was good but nothing special. We also got ice cream which was very mediocre as well. Overall, laud group of girls, waitress that forgot about our order, mediocre food... I don't think we are coming back. read more

A small fun eccentric bar in the middle of rye. Great choice of Japanese alcohol. They have fun cocktails and just an overall great vibe. Have soft serve on the menu!

Did a walk in and dined in on a Sunday with bar seating. Was immediately greeted by the host and manager. My friend and I grabbed seats at the bar and Tiffany, the bartender was a great help in explaining the menu items. The manager also came over to check on us and explain the menu items with amazing detail. Now to the drinks, they are very good. A nice handcrafted cocktail - we had an old fashion and a Lychee Chawari. For food we tried the Mushroom Bao bun, Jonah Carb and Pork Dumplings, Scallop Hand Roll, tempura Shishito peppers and Shisho chips and dip. Everything was delicious and bursting with flavor. Will definitely be coming back. #EatWithAlexandra IG: @alexandra_andco read more

If you want the best sushi of your life then look no further then OKO in Westport! Not only does it have the most amazing food, the staff is even greater. Everyone is attentive and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is great for date night dinners to large parties. If you do find yourself overwhelmed with the menu options please choose the "Chef's selection" as they will always give you the top notch choices of sushi, hand rolls, and tempura vegetables. This place, however, is a little pricey but worth every, single, penny! read more

It's okay. Not amazing - just okay. The miso soup is excessively salty, the wild salmon nigiri had just the tiniest piece of fish, there was a fish scale in my tuna hand roll...and the spicy sauce in the spicy tuna hand roll was way too much mayo and not nearly enough spicy (it basically just tasted like mayo). For these prices the whole thing should be a bit better. read more
