The poke nachos were easily the star of the table...honestly to die for. All three sushi rolls were packed with flavor and didn't last long once they hit the table. One had some thick fishy slices but aside from that, wasn't bad. The edamame came out warm and perfectly salted (simple, but done right). The atmosphere was really nice and relaxed, and the service was professional and quick, which is always appreciated when everyone shows up hungry. Definitely a spot we'd come back to when the sushi craving hits again.

Ochi is an excellent example of a high quality, local Japanese restaurant and bar. It's not…read morecomparable to authentic Tokyo, NY, LA, or Boston, so it doesn't warrant 5 stars globally, but it does deserve 5-stars for a dependable, flavorful suburban Japanese eatery. The food quality is above average, the execution is high, and the service is attentive. The space is clean and efficient, but lacks warmth. We visited the day after a large 1-2 foot snowstorm, and Ochi was one of the only restaurants open in town. I've eaten at Ochi 4x since it opened in 2023, although there's a lot more to explore on its expansive and prolific menu. On this visit, we tried a Tuna Poke Bowl, a Salmon Pome Bowl, a Katsu Ramen, a Mango Salad, and a Mochi desert. Regarding the Tuna Poke Bowl, Ochi took the liberty of substituting more expensive fatty tuna (Toro), for regular tuna (Maguro), a generous and appreciated gift as a thanks for dining on a very slow night due to the storm. Hence, I would recommend everything we tried: the Mango Salad, any of the Sushi, Sashimi and Maki choices, the Poke bowls and Ramen (especially the Spicy Miso Ramen, the chicken Katsu Ramen, and any of the traditional pork or beef Ramen choices). In addition, the deserts are especially worth trying, and are all well orchestrated. You can't really go wrong at Ochi.

We visited Ochi Sushi & Ramen on a Thursday around 5/6pm and the establishment was practically…read moreempty besides 2 other patrons at the bar. Location is great, there were able 2 employees working the front. Not really sociable with us but very chatty with each other. Pricing is a bit on the higher end for the quality for sure, out of 7 dishes between a group of 4 and 2 were for sure pre-made items only 2 dishes were ok. As for the food itself, I can say it's more on a "cleaner" side vs the extra flavor and oily texture you'd get from a fast food chain. The ramen broth was subtle, the noodle perfect, but the flavor wasn't there. The Chef special roll was way over priced for what you get, especially only having 1 piece being the best out of the "assorted" fish. The hibachi wasn't good in my opinion, good portion though. Would not order that again. The chicken teriyaki flavor was great, chicken texture was more like grilled on a pan vs over flame. Loved the veggies though. The gyoza and takoyaki were good as well as the strawberry mochi icecream. Wish they were more friendly though, making us feel like we were inconvenient for them was a major turn off.

The handful of seats in front of the sushi prep area are taken up by to go supply items and didn't appear to be available for customers. We came for a work lunch and there were 12 of us, so we took up the entire community table in the restaurant. With all available seats in the main dining area full of customers, the restaurant became very loud. The majority of our party ordered sushi, but a few of us got hot dishes which came from the kitchen and arrived later than the plates of sushi. They have an extensive lunch menu, and everyone was able to find something they wanted. The lunch sushi came with miso soup and the lunch meals came with salad.

The restaurant is more like a "cafe." Calling it "classy" is a misnomer! Last visit some weird nauseating smell permeated the restaurant, quite overpowering disinfectant! Why it was used in the dining area?! Owner was spraying it around. Owner/waiter opened back door to clear the smell, it was cold outside, with a stiff breeze...froze out the entire dining room. I had to ask the owner to close the door! The last visit, the floor was very dirty. Look liked it had not been washed in a month. The sushi chefs aren't Japanese. There is a limited sitting area, so if a large crowd is there...it is quite noisy and you can hear everyone's conversation. I have unfortunately had to endure some doozies..especially the long one of womans bathroom emergency at the top of Machu Picchu! It is adequate, but not in my opinion a Japanese "restaurant," the owners are Korean, so there is a lot of Korean dishes on menu. Not a friendly bunch, ask a question and they stare or nod at you. Restaurant needs a serious makeover, looks like it's stuck in 80s, mall restaurant court.
