First come first serve seating, order at the counter and fight for a spot. The seats where you sit on the ground is really appealing at first but the table is really small. It's a lap desk and can fit two plates at most with very little room.Food is cute and decent. It's cafe food not restaurant so keep your expectations low. I like the loaded fries crunchy and lots of food flavors. Most of the things are decent here, but I can say with confidence that you shouldn't get the chicken katsu onigirazu. It was terrible lol. Soggy and unfresh tasting.Parking: Limited parking in front but a huge parking lot right at the neighboring building

It was our first time coming here yesterday. We loved it. The food and coffee was great! I had their omurice and it was filling! I wish there was more of the glaze though—yummy and cute presentation!My boyfriend had the curry katsu, that was okay! He still finished it but we did agree having better. For appetizers, we had the loaded fries and okonomiyaki pancake! They were delicious no doubt!The reason why I give them five stars is because of the ambiance, interior, and customer service. DO KEEP IN MIND, that this is a café so do not expect 5 star Michelin gourmet food. It’s supposed to be comforting and that’s definitely what Okaeri achieved. We will definitely come back!

And it's not just about the food; it's about the entire experience.The attentive staff, the elegant décor, and the soothing atmosphere all come together to create a dining experience that lingers in your memory long after the last dish is savored.Whether you're sharing a meal with loved ones or savoring a quiet moment of solitude, Okaeri offers a taste of Japan's soul that is truly unforgettable. Okaeri, thank you for bringing a piece of Japan into our lives. We'll be back for more.

They have a large variety of drinks and ready made food, as well as a pretty good sized breakfast and lunch menu. I got the lavender matcha latte and a bun. The latte was great, and the bun was being kept warm, which made the filling very nice. They have a a variety of seating available as well. The staff was great too, my boyfriend accidentally spilled my drink and while I went to go clean myself up, he went to order me another and they ended up remaking it for free. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Okaeri is a cute, inviting, and delicious cafe that will win your heart over with its scrumptious Japanese cuisine, pretty decor, and cozy seating. We tried their Classic Gyudon with raw egg yolk, Katsu HottuDoggu, Miso Soup, and a Kohai Desu! Coffee while sitting zashiki style in one of their 3 traditional Japanese booths with low tables and seat cushions. Their 2 giant framed chalk boards were adorned with lovely renditions of Princess Mononoke and other Japanese inspired arts. To top it off, the staff (possibly owners?) were so nice and welcoming! Highly recommend!

A cute Japanese place in downtown with nice parking spots. What else you need. I liked their katsu curry and definitely coming back for it. The loaded fries were totally on point. There are so many Japanese snacks that you could take home. The seating are very nice and different! Yes and the icecream with green tea shot was toooo good

Workers are very nice, the atmosphere is quiet and I love the option to sit on the floor or at a table, the snacks are good.
Such a cute spot with Zashiki style seating on wood floor. with pillows (Japanese style). Available here are curry dishes, huge hotdogs, matcha latte and other fruity drinks, and waffles! A great spot for brunch with friends, or alone to study!Parking: The spaces are limited, but whenever I drive by, they are not too overwhelmingly full, so finding a spot may not be too difficult.

Really enjoy this place. Been four times in the past month. Extremely friendly staff. Great atmosphere with mixed levels of seating. I’ve been at times between noon and 2 and the later in the lunch/afternoon the busier so seats can be limited. The pork bun is my favorite and reminds me exactly of the ones in 7-11 Japan. I’ve had one each time I’ve been. I’ve also had chicken katsu bento box, omusoba, omurice, miso soup, pizza bun, and strawberry matcha foam (really good). Look forward to trying more!
After 21 mile bike ride, the one thing I was craving is the chicken curry from Okaeri. It’s perfectly portioned for me (5’10, 230lbs) and paired with a yuzu soda was perfect! Also, Ordered the egg sando (not pictured) and Katsu dog, both were delicious. 10/10
