The interior is calm and inviting. The restaurant and restrooms are immaculately clean. Today I called and ordered the fried vegetable spring rolls, wasabi shumai (pork filling), and the Out of Control roll (tempura and smoked salmon) along with one of my favorites, Kare Udon. Everything was fresh and delicous. Service on the phone and when picking up was friendly and efficient. This is a solid place for excellent Japenese cuisine.

They also have some odd things, like bao which are not Classical Japanese. They were delicious regardless. Their claim to fame is ramen. I don't like ramen so passed on it. On the other hand if they can get me to like it they get six stars not five. Major extra credit. Maybe next time. Oh and parking is easy which is not always the case in Norwalk.

I wouldn't recommend the Yaki Onigiri, despite reading positive reviews for it. The fried rice was way too heavy and didn't taste good. The greasiness was competing with the strong taste of the salmon. Some servers knew their job well, and greeted us at the door. A newer server wasn't as knowledgeable on gluten free options there and also didn't take away our used appetizer plates before serving us the mains. Not a huge deal, but it does make a difference in your dining experience and how the flow of your meal goes.

A review to write on my 34th birthday? Don't mind if I do!…read more But in all seriousness, I did just turn 34 today on 4/29/2025, and this was my birthday dinner. I actually did not go to the restaurant, but rather a friend of mine picked it up when I had requested sushi. Before today, I had actually never had this before even though I must have walked by it about a thousand times. From the outside looking in, it actually manages to look beautiful every time, though small and busy. I've honestly wanted to go there myself for a while, but I never really get a chance because it's a bit beyond the Wilton train station going further away from where I work. That makes this a slight bit out of the way for me. One day I'll go in person. But like I said, this was my birthday dinner, and I was not disappointed. There were spring rolls, dumplings, and then sushi and sashimi. I didn't quite get the names of everything that was in that order, but it was a fun time. Everything was good. If I had to pick a favorite roll, it was the one with soy sauce already on top garnished with what looked like red caviar. The dumplings were also really good too. The spring rolls were another hit. Really, this is one of those 4-star reviews where it's mainly getting stopped at 4 only because this was just a partial experience. Like I had mentioned, I would love to give this a proper visit. If the food is as good in-person as it was tonight, I will revisit this review.

I would definitely go back.

To celebrate a graduation, you can choose a number of restaurants in the area. My child was…read moregraduating from The Norwalk Conservatory of the Arts and chose OKO Kitchen. Not a chain restaurant and not very big. As it turns out, it was a perfect combination for an UH-MAZ-ING meal! Literally, upon entering the front door, a curtain pulls to the side as we entered the restaurant. A nice little touch like you're entering a whole new world. It's a quaint little spot, maybe 20 or so tables total and some bar seating available. We had a small group of 7 and fit right along the far wall. Asked for some special favors from the hostess and she was more than accommodating. Our server, Julia was phenomenal. She gave us some time to socialize, choose our meals and looked after us as if we were her only table (while taking care of a couple other tables at the same time). Very personable and helpful along the way, not just someone who took our orders only never to be seen again. She had some great suggestions and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was spectacular! I initially ordered a few appetizers for the table. She suggested a Makimono dish which was a selection of the same items I requested and a few more! Perfect for sharing! We enjoyed a variety of entree selections from their menu including poke bowls, sushi and grilled meats and fish. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The desserts were a perfect casual finish to our meal! Can't say enough good things about our experience at OKO Kitchen. The service and food were spot on! Keep on Yelp'n!

The bartender was lovely and friendly without being annoying. The scallop hand roll was a huge win! My husband had the tuna hand roll and also loved his. Then, we ordered the lobster and king crab hand rolls, they were also flavorful but still went back to the scallop! Delicious! We had the crab fried rice that was very tasty and a good portion- shareable when ordered with other items. We had an array of nigiri. It's a small restaurant with city vibes, friendly service. It was expensive and I'm not completely sure everything was worth the cost, for a special occasion, it is worth it.

Ive been there for dinner time as well, it's lively, loud in a good way, and immediately feels like somewhere you could stay for hours. I ordered the miso ramen, and it was honestly one of the most satisfying bowls of ramen I've had in Connecticut. The broth was the star of the dish its deep, rich, savory, and layered with that perfect balance of umami and subtle sweetness from the miso and a bit nitty form the sesame seeds. The noodles had the perfect texture: chewy, springy, and able to hold onto the broth beautifully. Nothing was overcooked or mushy . What impressed me most was how balanced the ramen was. Some ramen spots go overboard with salt or spice, but this bowl felt refined. Rich but not greasy. Flavorful but not overpowering. You could tell there was actual technique behind it. The portion size was also generous enough to leave completely full without feeling uncomfortable afterward. The service matched the food perfectly and so freaking sweet.

Only drawback is everything is takeout, so it's a pretty wasteful experience with all the paper plates (the stairs leading up are probably too narrow for carrying dishes). The food was just so-so.

The best dish was the soothing yuzu salmon over rice entree, while the chicken wings, crab fried rice, snd tofu pockets were all a little junky and overly dressed.
