Milk tea ice rice
Heather M.

I was looking for a place to pick up some yummy boba after my kid's doctor appointments in the greenbrier area Well I found a place but I can't say it is as yummy as I hoped We got the dirty milk tea with pearl boba that one was on point We got the Oreo dirty milk tea my son loved it finished in record time We got the mango milkshake with boba It was all thick and syrupy not very frozen at all and way too sweet I myself I'm got the honey dew milkshake with milk cap. It was the right texture frozen and all but it had an odd mint aftertaste which threw me off So officially I have to say it's hit or miss on drinks But we also were feeling adventurous and tried the milk tea ice rice Which was basically sticky rice with smoothie added over it and various toppings like watermelon peanut and raisins but also popping boba and star jelly It was very interesting I think I will try it with coconut ice next time the milk tea was a bland flavor The staff smiled when I walked in but were not very talkative so service is ok I loved the dining area it was so spacious and they had board games to play would be a great spot to sit in and enjoy

Good portions, friendly people, tons of sitting area, and large menu. Pretty clean and would come again.

I ordered the Create your own bowl, so much favorites to choose...almost endless.

This is the former Molly Poke Ramen restaurant. Same exact spot, just new owners and posted new menu items. Boba tea and other milk teas. The selections are vast. This bowl is a "Make your own bowl " small size completely filled me up. I love the fresh selections. The restaurant has shower curtains to separate the customer pick up area from the preparation area. Servers wore plastic gloves to make the bowls. When ordering takeout, you order on a IPad. I did not see anyone come out and wipe the screen down ,but hand sanitizer is available . I devoured the entire bowl, even though I was fill it was just so good. First time here but not the last.

This review is based on one visit. What a pleasant surprise to find this tiny excellent place in a strip mall. Don't be misled by a dining room with few diners. You'll quickly realize Ouka Sora does a brisk take-out business. I built a poke bowl with truly tasty salmon, seaweed salad, furikake flakes, and perfectly cooked brown rice . Poke sauce was outstanding. I had a wonderful meal and would happily return here!

Love this place. Food was excellent. The reusable bag is a plus. We been my regular spot.

Different angle of the same bug

Normally I don't write reviews but this one was well needed. The customer service was good, the cashier was very nice and helpful. I ordered a Dirty Sugar Black Milk Tea w/ boba. The tea was delicious! I almost drank all of it before pulling out the parking lot. The food tasted pretty decent, it wasn't the "BEST", but I had worse. Unfortunately, while eating my rice I noticed a burnt little piece of "rice". After isolating the rice and analyzing it a little more, I noticed it wasn't rice. It wasn't rice at all, instead it was a BUG! I felt so disgusted and realized, have I been eating worms the whole time. Anyways, all in all the food was ok, but the kitchen could be a little more careful.

Poke Bowl-Pick Two

Overall, this is a decent spot for various Japanese, Hawaiian and Korea fare. The ramen isn't anything special and lacks the taste of that 24 hour schedule one experiences in Japan. Having now tried the Ouka Sura miso and tonkatsu broth, I can say that I suspect they are mass produced concentrates. The noodles are decent, albeit mass produced as well. The biggest disappointment with the ramen was the pork. Way too dry. I had to soak the slices in the broth to moisten and eat them last once palatable. We also ordered a kids chicken and rice and it was a little disappointing too as the chicken was over cooked and chewy, but still somewhat flavorful. As for the Poke, this is Ouka Sura's strong point, everything seemed relatively fresh and tasty, and the presentation is appealing as well. My son also approved of the boba tea, so I'll credit them with that as well. I will like be back for the Poke and perhaps boba, but the other offerings aren't much of a draw.

Good variety of Asian cuisine and clean environment. More of a Panda Express than a date night place.

This restaurant embodies great community togetherness and overall kindness and hospitality.

Went here for a family lunch out and we seriously drove 45 minutes just to eat here.. it's just that delicious. I will admit that we actually pass their other location just to go to this one. I don't know what it is about this particular location but it's OG and seems to just be better. Maybe it's the service, but I definitely feel like there's something done different at this one.

I have been to the VB location a few years ago and didn't like anything I had ordered. I was hoping this time would be different. The salt and pepper shrimp and such was delicious. As was the cucumber salad and everything. But the actual noodles itself? Overpowering with star anise and Szechuan peppers-- so much so I tasted nothing else and breathing foul odors for the next few days I swear. The potato noodles were hard to chew and easily could become a choking hazard. The service was fast and friendly despite the busy dinner hours. The restaurant had plenty of seats inside and the orders became available fast. Very little to no wait without feeling rushed. Like my dining companion said, everything but the noodles are good here. I should have heeded the warning. Parking is free and most major cards accepted. Unless a friend insists on going, this is not a must visit spot for me. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to friends and family but hey. To each their own.

Prices aren't too bad and it's not as busy. They also have authentic Japanese seating. We got the katsudon and some sushi and that was pretty good. Can't go along with a good rice bowl and beer.

So I recently went to Daikichi Sushi. I hadn't been there since a few years ago and honestly back…read morethen, went there looking for great ramen. I wasn't impressed and didn't return. So I went back for their sushi as it felt unfair to rate them on ramen when their specialty was sushi. There are very few sushi places actually owned and run by Japanese outside of big cities, people rave about this place, and I'm all for supporting them. I did order the ramen again hoping it changed. It was ok, but I resigned it is not the place for ramen. However, I will say their sushi and other appetizers are great, no lie. But my recent visit left a bad taste despite their great food. When we arrived, about 6pm, the waitress told me and my teenage daughter, "only the bar was available". There were 2 4-person tables that could be separated for a table for 2. And I noticed 2 couples already there sitting at 4 person tables. So I asked the waitress why are they seated at the tables? She said they arrived earlier and now they need to keep the tables open Ok, I get that, even though they only opened an hour ago. It's Saturday night, so I'll go with that. Well, shortly after putting in our order at the bar, I see them seat 2 people at one of the 4-person tables. And then shortly after that, they separated the other 4 seater into 2 tables and sat 2 more couples that arrived at each table. Now, I'm raising an eyebrow. I didn't say anything but before I left, I said to the waitress, I couldn't help but notice there were several couples seated at tables after us. She said oh, that couple knows the owner, referring to the first couple seated at a 4 person table (they didn't even separate the table). Ok I figured that when the owner gave a loud and enthusiastic good bye to them and the diner looked Japanese. I replied to the waitress, but then you all seated 2 more couples and pulled the table apart to accommodate them. She replied that the boss ordered them to separate the tables but he rarely does. I replied that we had arrived well before any of those 3 couples and were told we couldn't sit at the table. She just shrugged as if to say she was just following the boss' order. I left the usual 20% tip because I know the waitress didn't make the decision and she gave great service and the sushi was great. However, that said, the blatant preference of other customers felt insulting and left a super disappointing taste in my mouth. And no, they were not all Japanese. Just that one diner. The owner clearly picked and chose to not give us a table, for whatever biased reason. I could understand if I were alone or my daughter was 8, but she looks clearly like an adult. It just really sat wrong with me and left me upset enough that I question returning. It's very unfortunate that an otherwise great experience was marred by this blatant refusal to seat my daughter and I at a table, only to have salt rubbed into the wound by seating numerous couples that followed at a table, by separating the tables. They didn't even offer to seat us at the traditional tables, all of which were empty at the time we arrived. To me, the authentic Japanese sushi was not worth the insulting unexplained preference to seat other customers after us at a table. PS: the only sushi roll I didn't like was the real crab California roll. The real crab was grey and cold and tasted so fishy, I asked to make sure it was cooked real crab and not raw. (They said it was cooked). I guess I was expecting real Alaska crab white crab and it was not this at all.

I had the Ebi (shrimp) curry ramen. The curry was very flavorful but different than both Jamaican and Indian curries. I don't like that they keep the tails on the shrimp even though it's in the ramen. I also had salmon rice balls as well as Shumai. The shumai was good and so were the rice balls, but never having had rice balls, they weren't what I was expecting. I expected them to have meat in them but it was just rice with salmon flavored powder. We also added hot green tea to our meal. While not anything special, I do like to end my meal this way. The service was pretty good but we didn't like that our waitress stood next to our table from the moment we sat down. We felt pressured to hurry up and order, and it just made things awkward. She was very attentive though. This restaurant is your typical local Japanese style restaurant. Very authentic in its feel and decor - nothing fancy, basic service. But if you like more authentic type dishes vs chain restaurants, I think this is a place to try! Oh, I will also add this place was alot less expensive than places like Domoishi! I give it a 3 star because I feel neutral about it - not because anything was super wrong about it!
