2nd try at Sushi. The 1st try was in Texas... They blew me away! The taste and freshness was out of this world.I will definitely be back to this restaurant. The waitress was so polite and friendly. The atmosphere was awesome and made my visit very pleasant! Our waiter was very friendly and quick. Am very pleased with the service.

The hibachi chef was funny and well-experienced. The waiter was horrendous (probably the worst I've ever seen). To begin: we hadn't even been sitting for 5 seconds and he was trying to take our drink orders, all of us chose water because we hadn't even opened the menu yet, my mother was trying to look over the drink menu, then he started to loudly tap his fingers on his order book, sighing, then just walked off. Later, while he was taking our food order, my wife wanted to pay for our tables appetizers, she asked him if the sushi rolls could be put on a separate check for her then the waiter asked why? She responded with because I want to then he asked again but why? Like he was refusing our request. When discussing it with the people also sitting at our table they said that he seemed annoyed when they were asking what flavors of Japanese soda they offered.

I visited this restaurant Friday with my family. Service was HORRIBLE, the cook burned all of the food and everyone kept trying to inform the cook that it was burnt. We also spoke with management and they kept saying that’s how it’s supposed to be. I didn’t touch one bite of my food, neither did I get my chicken they kept telling me I said I didn’t want it. So I spoke with management and said I’m paying for the drink (mountain dew) and she said NO IF YOU DON’T PAY I’M CALLING THE POLICE!I’ve work in the food service industry for a long time and if you can’t satisfy the customer you can’t demand them to pay. So I paid 38.00 dollars and didn’t eat one bite. All because the cook wasn’t attentive on the temperature of the grill that wasn’t the customers fault.

My family and I can to here for dinner after a long road trip, we wait for one hour for the cook to come and grill the was on. The cook finally came over and didn’t turn the grill down therefore our food was burnt. The manager was very dismissive and disrespectful.

Food was good, but my shrimp could have been cooked longer & I don't like that they added lemon juice without asking. I detest lemon so I didn't even eat my entree. Service & atmosphere was great. Seating was too close, couldn't get out to go to the bathroom.

I ordered the Sashimi Box. The tuna sashimi was very tasty. The fried rice was well seasoned and delicious.The waitstaff were cheerful and the atmosphere was pleasant.Although it does not exactly match the Japanese food offered in Japan, all the food was delicious and I would like to visit again.Vegetarian options: Vegetable Tempura Dinner

We had a bit of a wait because we arrived at the same time as a large party with little kids (Lord...) and some stragglers. But, once we were seated, the service was good, we met some nice people, and the food was great!

Went by myself, sat a table. Got hibachi was told it would be the same as off of the normal cook f of you kind, guess not MY FOOD WAS COLD. then I had like 5 noodle on my plate so I asked for more and yes I understand its extra food but $7 for a side of noodles that should have already came with the meal is ridiculous. I also got charged a 20% gratuity BY MYSELF, I looked over the menu no where does it state that will be added on unless for a bigger party. I would have tipped it anyway so I didn't make a fuss but it was inappropriate to be on my check. management really needs to handle this situation it shoulda been handled when I pushed my food aside and said it was cold right after it came out.

Pros: good for large groups, fun hibachi chefsCons: mediocre non-hibachi reasons (non-meat eater in a hibachi group); $63 for a friend who got a chicken/beef fried rice combo (very expensive for what you get); server caused a lot of havoc when throwing plates down in the basin behind the hibachi grill; sushi was very mediocre and fish had been clearly staying out and not on ice; $16 for the roll picturedAll in all, I would not recommend this place.

***Won't Be Around Much Longer***I recently visited Okinawa Japanese Restaurant in Fort Walton Beach, FL, and was profoundly disappointed with the changes they've made. The reduction in portion sizes was immediately noticeable and quite drastic. The meals, which were previously generous, are now disappointingly small.Adding to my dismay was the surprising hike in prices. It’s one thing to pay more for quality, but the inflated prices at Okinawa, especially given the smaller portions, seem excessive. Furthermore, the policy of charging full price for meal sharing is unheard of and adds to the overall dissatisfaction. This practice feels particularly unfair and not customer-friendly.Such a combination of smaller portions, high prices, and unreasonable sharing charges has unfortunately diminished my previously good opinion of this establishment. I hope the management takes this critique seriously and reconsiders their pricing and portion sizes to better meet customer expectations.Before you respond with "Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't live up to your expectations. We take all feedback seriously and appreciate your honesty. We'll use your comments to improve our service and ensure that every guest has a memorable experience. We look forward to serving you again soon!" like you have EVERY negative review consider the following:Generic responses can give the impression that feedback is not being thoroughly considered. As a customer, it's important to feel heard and see tangible changes based on the input provided by myself and others. Concrete steps towards improvement would certainly encourage me and perhaps others to consider revisiting and reassessing our experiences in the future.While we appreciate the acknowledgement, it would be more reassuring to see specific actions being taken to address the concerns raised, especially regarding the portion sizes, high prices, and the policy on charging for sharing meals.
