Great sushi, nice atmosphere but VERY noisy on early Saturday nights with kids screaming and walking around, birthday parties, Hibachi entertainment with flames shooting into the air, etc; Go another night and it will be completely different atmosphere. Been here several times and always great food and usually a quiet experience. read more

Excellent sushi, prompt and friendly service. Great find! A local gem! (Have not tried hibachi yet.)

No matter what you order from here, it's going to be so good. The curry ramen is so delicious. The service is always great but be sure to book a reservation as they can get pretty busy. read more

They started you off with a hot scented towel so you could refresh yourself before you start your meal. I ordered the grilled Young Octopus with arugula salad, balsamic pomegranate reduction, cherry tomato and wasabi salt for my appetizer. The octopus was very tender and had a nice grilled flavor. The salad was fresh and tasty. Then ate Seafood To- Ban. It had one Lobster tail, shrimp, spinach and lemon -garlic jus. This dish was also grilled and served in a hot frying pan. It was also good, however, I thought it could had more fish for the price( 4 shrimp, 4 Scallops and a small lobster tail) All meals come with soup and salad . Soup was a mushroom soup which was full of flavor, the salad was just a salad. I tried some of the sushi from the other people at my table and the fish tasted very fresh. read more

Great sushi & hibachi. Always a great go-to. Gets pretty crowded and busy so make sure to order early or get a reservation.

Excellent Food Quality, Flavor, Presentation! We came here with a party of 6 people for my daughters 18th birthday. We are not big fans of sitting at the hibachi seats at Japanese steak houses so we opted for a dining room table. We made a reservation and our table was ready upon arrival. Service = (A-) The only slight mark on service was that he served us with so much speed which was in order to accommodate us but at times we weren't done asking for things and he would already have hustled off. In general the menu knowledge, greeting and farewell at the door, team food running, manager table visit... all the elements of top notch. Atmosphere = (A) Beautiful fish tank (spotless and clear) at front door, immaculate environment, not decorated too much, it felt slightly higher end but not enough that you were uncomfortable in casual. (Jeans and a sweater felt like the perfect attire. (families and upscale clientele also fit in just fine.) Food = (A+) Fried Calamari and Shumai Appetizer excellent. Not the normal mid level dining fried apps. High end thoughtful quality. Shumai were some of the best that I have had. Miso Soup and Salad with the common ginger dressing was OK and just a filler. Then the awesome meals showed up. Shushi Rolls to die for, Sashimi and Sushi Entree was a generous portion and the chef chose the freshest fish. We also had hot entrees... Scallop dish my wife had was mouthwatering. There was a sushi roll on that had cucumber outer wrapping that was incredible. Good cocktail and liquor options (not too many options, just right). This place was incredible and only 25 minutes from my home so I can't wait to come back. I loved this place! read more

Always good food and nice ambiance. You can go to the sushi bar, sit in a booth or do Hibachi with the family. We have gone here for years. All memories good. read more

Had an awful experience here tonight. The waiter was awful. He rushed us the whole time. Didn't give us anytime to order anything. The hibachi chef was great. We all tipped him. When the final bill came, which was close too $500 this guy hawked over us and made sure that we also tipped him even though he forgot everything. He didn't get us the right soup, rice, or drinks. Then he made a face about it. Been to this place 100 times. Will never go back again. Total asshole read more

Reservation was 7:30, we were then told to wait for 5 minutes at 7:30 and it is 8:00 right now and we have yet to have service ot even salad! Don't recommend. read more

Been coming here for more than 25 years, ever since it was a third the size it is now. Some of the best and consistent raw fish out there. Inside is swank, if busy (I take the crowd by the door as a good thing). Servers are always sweet and helpful. A great meal every time--one of the best in Doylestown, hands down. read more

I am EXTREMELY disappointed in this restaurant !!! I started going to Ooka over 25-30 years ago and I watched it grow from the little restaurant it was to the business it is today! Benny and Lenny and their then girlfriends were always wonderful but it is loosing what they were big time! The last 5-6 times I was there my order was wrong! Tonight I ordered 3 orders of Salmon sushi Ala carte and 1 salmon roll. They quoted me $25. I just didn't want the soup/salad. For $9 less I ordered the salmon sushi dinner with no Soup/salad. They should have matched the price. I asked them to please make sure there is no wasabi but I wanted ginger and soy sauce. I mentioned to the person on the phone to please make sure my order is correct since my last 5-6 times there my order has been wrong. I have worked in the restaurant business for years and I never not tip! When the order was picked up they gave me 12 soy sauces and 2 chopsticks!!! Just out right disrespectful!!! My brother took my order and the 12 soy sauces in and asked if it was appropriate? They wanted the soy sauces back after he told them it was contaminated and they said it was ok and they can still use it. Obviously, the person laughing is the the rude employee who did what they did! I find it appropriate to post my first ever review on Yelp! Hopefully, Benny and Lenny read these reviews and handler their employees appropriately!!! They have lost a long time customer ! read more

OOKA - Doylestown - My meal with the 12 soy sauces! - Japanese Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

5 stars all around! The restaurant -beautiful ,elegant, simple. The service - attentive, helpful , humorous. The food - absolutely delicious. A group of 5 of us decided on a sushi dinner and we could not have found a better place to splurge. All the fish were fresh and delicate, each dish better than the last. The calamari is an absolute must, and the vegetable gyoza was perfection. And just when we thought we were too full, dessert menus were on their way. With how amazing the meal was, we couldn't pass up trying the top favorites like the creme brulee and fried ice cream- top notch. Over all, OOKA was an absolute win for us, not a single thing to pick on, not a single dish that wasn't perfect. Take the trip and try it out, you will not be disappointed! read more

Yesterday I had an amazing date night with my hubby here! We started with some tasty cocktails. I got a Titos dirty martini, which was made perfectly and my husband ordered one of their specialty cocktails which was very good. We started with the crispy salmon skin salad and the shiitake mushroom salad. Both were great but I preferred the mushroom salad. We then moved on to the James bond roll and the lobster dynamite roll. Dynamite indeed! Both were some of the best sushi rolls I have ever had! I highly recommend having a reservation. We went on a Thursday and the place was completely packed with at least 10 people waiting for tables. read more

Hibachi service is always good to eat and very entertaining. Several menu choices for hibachi. Decent wine beer and alcohol selection. Too expensive for usual dining but terrific for occasions. Don't miss the fried rice made with saki. read more

This was my husband & my first time experience at Ooka. We have heard about it for years but never had the opportunity to go. My husband started eating sushi more recently so he suggested we go. Our server was fantastic. He was very attentive & had a great sense of humor. That's a plus when you are serving my husband!! We had edamame & shrimp dumplings for appetizers. The shrimp dumplings were AMAZING! As for sushi, we had a California roll, spicy tuna roll, Philadelphia roll & shrimp tempura. All were fresh & delicious. I had the Tokyo Princess as a speciality drink. It was similar to a mimosa. Can't wait to go back again. read more

This place is a common place we go to. Good service, good menu, food is generally pretty good and fresh. Wish they labeled their menu with top allergens, but otherwise, really nice place read more

Absolutely wonderful highly recommend! Hibachi is wonderful service great and love the ambience.

Always reliably good food, nice atmosphere and friendly service. The fish is fresh and presented well. I ordered the sushi/sashimi combination and the disappointment was the amount of faux crab on the platter. The sashimi deluxe platter was very good. Our server also got us both a special order of hijiki salad which was no longer on the menu. read more

This is my sons favorite place to come on his birthday. The hibachi is very good and you can order other items even when at the hibachi table. The sushi is also very good. We always have a good experience here. read more

Very good food and authentic ambience. The only lag was the tightness of the seating arrangements at the tables and the sushi bar. Other than that, it's a win! read more

High quality sushi and amazing hibachi! I highly recommend ooka to anyone who is in the area and looking to try some amazing food!

One of the best restaurants in Doylestown. Consistently good. Great service. Been going there for 20 years.

Service has gone down the drain. 8pm reservation and it is 8:50 and they just took our order. Cook probably won't be here for another 20 mins and still haven't gotten our drinks. Food is always good, but man they have really got to get it together.... read more

Atmosphere was nice. Service was good. Sushi left a lot to be desired. Definitely overpriced for the quality. Susi plating was beautiful. Hibachi noodles had a gasoline taste. The chef didn't clean off the grill plate really well after his intro fire show. Hibachi veggies were still tough but the corn part (canned) was flimsy. Hibachi salmon was overly cooked. read more

Food was good. Portions were large. Ambiance was good. Service was good. Prices were higher than expected

Really amazing high quality sushi. Been here a few times for dinner. Most recently just last weekend (Oct 2020). Ooka is very good at following social distancing rules. The indoor was set up with people seated very far from each other. I noticed many tables were not used to allow for that. They also have a tent with heaters. I will say that weather should be considered. While we were there the temp dropped to 40 degrees and personally, even with the heating lamp right behind me, I was freezing my butt off. Anyway, as for the food - everything we tried, appetizers and a bunch of different rolls was spectacular, fresh tasty and inventive. Bonus points for delicious Uni. I love uni but am hesitant in ordering it. Sometimes it can taste really funky. The uni here was very fresh (I had the sushi roll with quail egg on top). They also offer California live uni at $28 a pop. Would have loved to try it but we were splitting a check with a couple and I felt guilty. Will updated once I do. Service - absolutely top notch. Our server was above and beyond polite, fast and caring. Would highly recommend and go back in a heartbeat! read more

It's good; everyone is nice and food is good. Lacks polish compared to similar urban places but still a good choice that won't disappoint.

Fun and entertaining night out for the family at OOKA! A request of the grandkids for a special treat. Great service and food! Not cheap but worth the extra cost. read more

Amazing food always and the experience is consistently top notch. Try the garden in the glass for dessert and you will not be disappointed.

Great, innovative Sushi rolls! Also had the Toro Sashimi which was incredible! Overall great experience and quite high quality Sushi! Usually sit at the bar, Annie the Bartender is awesome and a foodie who can make great recommendations! read more

We often dine at Ooka and enjoy it. Other times we have found them to be incredibly arrogant. Today we are very happy to be taking our business elsewhere. read more

*it's the night before Christmas Eve so we knew places would be crowded* We've been to Ooka several time and always have a good experience there. The food is always good, servers attentive. Tonight we had a 615 reservation and were out by 705. The restaurant was packed to the gills and the whole "experience" of dinner was completely washed away. Every Hibachi table was full, my husband and I were seated at the end spots and a customer tried to pass through behind him, the woman sitting behind my husband literally turned around and said "it's his fault", please keep in mind both of our seats were pushed as close to the table as possible and hers was almost in the middle of the isle. Again, we're not ignorant to the fact it's a holiday weekend however, when you go to dinner and expect an experience and get the "fast food experience" it's disheartening. Oh and also, the gentleman who runs drinks and drops off the check asked for more of a tip to the people next to us after they tipped the chef. Not a good vibe Food and chef 4.5 Service 1 read more

Food is amazing! Service is great, definitely will be coming back for the atmosphere as well! read more

This is the story of how I spent nearly 40 minutes in this restaurant without trying a single drink or eating a bite of food.... My boyfriend and I along with another couple had an 8 o'clock reservation and we showed up five minutes early. The woman told us to wait at the bar which we happily did as we thought we could get a drink and just wait for a table. We sat at the bar for 10 minutes talking anticipating the bartender to come over to us after trying to make eye contact and smiling at him he still continued to walk back-and-forth without even approaching us or saying a word. After five more minutes I stopped the bartender and asked if we could order a drink please to which he grabbed a menu threw it down on the bar and walked away. It's now 8:20 and we still don't have our table or a drink because we were seemingly invisible. 8:25 we were told we could sit down at the hibachi table which we did hoping to be able to order a drink and apps as we were starving. After waiting another 5-7 minutes a woman comes over with water we ask her if we can order food and drinks she says sure but not from me... then we ask her how long it will be to the chef comes over. She said we have to wait for the rest of the hibachi table to fill up we tried to tell her that we had an 8 o'clock reservation and she said oh it'll be about a half an hour. At this point we kindly told her that we would not be eating at the restaurant and we left passing a restaurant full of people enjoying their drinks and food seeming to have a great time while we were 4 invisible people really sad about our experience. We left at 8:37 and ate at the bar directly next to ooka. Feel free to try it if you are unlucky enough to have the same experience. read more

Food was very disappointing, bland and dry. We sat at hibachi grill. Steak was all overcooked to same temp of well done even though we ordered medium Rare and medium. Don't know why they bother taking your preference. it was so finely chopped into tiny pieces not cubed. Chicken was so dry and tasteless I couldn't eat it as were veggies which were mostly zucchini and corn. It was so much better many years ago when they gave you three types of sauces with your meal. You only get the green one when it could have used soy sauce. You dont get chop sticks anymore just a fork at the grill. Service was good but maybe our chef was not. It was very crowed though. read more

Great food! All employees are very nice and patient. Apologized for long waits. Although there was hair in the food i will be eating here again. read more

We've been going to OOKA for years now and they have been constantly great. Always high quality and never a problem with anything!
