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 portions were generous for lunch and the food was tasty.

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.

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.

I'm glad the weather was good and we chose to eat outside. We started with the veggie gyoza, five pieces in the app. Beautifully steamed and delicate taste. I got the sunset Maki, eight pieces in an order, which had salmon, mango, spicy mayo, tobiko, and a surprising ingredient, fish salad. It was very tasty. The only thing I would've changed was that the piece didn't hold when you picked it up. My friend ordered the veggie bibimbap and she enjoyed her meal too. Definitely looking to come back!

The design of the restaurant is just really nice. I feel a little "fancy" eating there.

And hot sake, which is relaxing even in the summer. We've also enjoyed Teriyaki dinners and sushi here, some memorable lychee martinis. Takara is a solid date night in the "downtown" area of Canton.

I would have preferred the apps first then dinner after but everything came out at once basically. It's nice and clean inside nothing fancy. We ordered pork strips, peeking ravioli, chicken fingers, orange beef, garlic lo mein, general gaus shrimp. The crab Rangoons were garlicky and delicious as always. The chicken fingers were a bit over cooked too crunchy for my liking. Usually they're light brown and lightly crispy. The pork strips were good. The garlic lo mein is usually spot on and comes with mushrooms, water chestnuts and pea pods. This time it came with green pepper which I don't like, so that was a bit of a disappointment. The green peppers usually come in the veggie lo mein. The orange beef had good flavor but the meat was tough, so that was unfortunate. My parents liked the beef and lo mein. The general gaus shrimp was tasty.

The staff was extremely nice and helpful from the first moment. We had never been here, and it took a bit for us to absorb the menu, and the wait staff was happy to answer any of our questions. We ordered gyoza and the shrimp balls to start. The gyoza was decently done, and the shrimp was crunch on the outside, and still nice and juicy in. We then had a variety of rolls, nigiri and specialty rolls with a Chicken Katsu Curry bowl. The Chicken katsu was well done, very well fried, and still moist interior, and the rice and curry combo was just the right amount of both. The nigiri were all well done and had a good rice to topping ratio, and did have a bit of wasabi under each piece. The rolls were also a good mix of interior and rice. All were well prepared. If we are in the area again, we would definitely go back. It was a little pricey, but I would prefer good sushi, vs. cheap bad sushi that is skimping on the fish etc.
