    Speciality Sushi Roll
    Thomas Q.

    Visited Okawa April 29th and upon entering the place was very clean and I was greeted immediately by the nice hostess. I ordered a California Roll and another Specialty roll which I have forgotten the name of but it was very delicious. The sushi tasted fresh. Although a bit on the high end of pricing I will definitely return.

    Came here on a Tuesday night right before 5 pm. A few tables had patrons already and got even busier by 530 pm. Decided to mix things up and try their ramen. Chose tonkatsu ramen with black garlic with cha su. The broth was pretty good. Had simple ingredients of bamboo shoots , shitaki mushrooms, one soft boiled egg and garlic of course besides the noodles. Bowl size was pretty large and had lots of noodles. So much that I couldn't even eat the dragon roll we ordered. I give the ramen a solid 4.5 score and would get again when I'm craving something other than sushi. My wife had the salmon teriyaki. Simple presentation with rice and gyoza. Overall. It was a nice meal. It's not my top Japanese restaurant but solid place to eat.

    Golden Phoenix, Sassy Roll, & Monster Roll.

    Switched up a Modesto sushi spot. It's in a newer shopping center so it's super clean inside & modern. Good service & lots of choices. Myself & my husband were not disappointed! We got spicy edamame and three rolls. They tasted fresh & were well made. Thought the Phoenix was going to be the favorite but it was actually our least favorite (was always rank our food lol). Will definitely go back.

    Sweet Heart Roll

    I absolutely love the teriyaki salmon here. It's not overly sweet like some are and it comes on a bed of onions which I just adore. Delicious! They were seriously understaffed today which made things mega slow (hence the loss of a star) but the lady who was running around serving all the tables, bringing drinks, answering phones, and dealing with takeout orders was a rock star. My son ordered a sweet heart roll and it was just the prettiest dang roll ever, so I had to review just to share how cute this is.

    Salmon Bento Box

    Modesto-We were starving and stopped in to enjoy some sushi. The service was exceptionally slow, but the food was excellent. We had a Salmon Bento Box, two California Rolls, a Crunchy Munchy Roll, and some edamame. Everything was fresh, cooked perfectly, and the servings were huge. The place was very clean too! The place absolutely needs more waitresses and another sushi chef. The place was packed and they were the only two people working. (It was noon.)

    Sashimi
    Yuliana V.

    Tried this place for the 2nd time with family and we all loved it. I did not have the Sashimi but I've seen plenty of bowls and this one had huge slices and was told it was good. The Hibachi was decent, chicken was a little tough so not the best but the steak was tender and delicious. The rice as a serving was a little hard so also needing a little help to perfect. Mic had teriyaki chicken and again it was dry/tough inside. The flavor was on point though. No pictures for the sushi, apologies, and these were perfect. We had Cherry Blossom, Hotel Ca, and Rock n Roll. Definitely will be back and try some other rolls. Waitress was nice and service was great. The place is quiet and clean and a nice vibe for dinning. I know I made some points about the dinner not being perfect but overall I'd be back for sushi and their other options.

    This place was great! We were greeted with friendly smiles. Our server was very attentive. Loved the dressing on the salad. Sushi was yummy! Glad we stopped by to check this place out!

    This was my first time visiting and everything was delicious! I loved the interior and calm ambiance. We ordered the monster roll, paradise roll, and an order of smoked and raw salmon nigiri.The nigiri tasted fresh and rolls were amazing. Our waitress was great as well. Would definitely return!

    Vegetarian roll

    First time visiting, and this will definitely be our new spot. We had a table of 5. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. We were warmly welcomed, all of our questions were kindly answered, and the staff checked on us often. The food was absolutely delicious--we loved everything we tried. The spicy edamame was my favorite, and the presentation of the rolls was beautiful. Highly recommend!

    Special- blue fin tuna....so glad we ordered it.
    Erica L.

    Came here again for dinner. They had a special on blue fin tuna. It was very fresh. This is our go-to sushi restaurant. The staff were friendly and the place is modern and comfortable. We really enjoyed the Japanese music they played after a busy day at work.

    Spicy Edamame

    Blue fin tuna melted in my mouth it was so good. Spicy edamame chili sauce is home made with fresh garlic chopped. Sapporo roll packed with so much flavor. Everything fresh! Even the ginger and wasabi were GREAT. Service was kind and helpful and the vibes were calming. I'm comin back fasho.

    Cherry bomb, fried Cali roll
    Nicolette S.

    Love this spot! It's always fast, fresh and the service is great! The steak is grilled up and has a great flavor.

    Raw oysters
    Tiffany L.

    I finally found my favorite sushi spot in town. Service is always great and attentive. It gets pretty busy for dinner but the food is delish! Their fried rice is the best fried rice I've ever had, so simple yet so delish. I've gone twice and tried different rolls each time. Golden Phoenix: would order this again and again! Ichi Ban is good if you want a lighter roll since it's wrapped with cucumber. Sassy and Dragon are both really good too but I think Golden phoenix is our fave.

The restaurant is nestled in the cute downtown area of Hughson, their main street. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the staff and seated right away. We were there on a Thursday evening about an hour before closing, but the restaurant was packed with customers. The menu has an extensive selection of Chinese and Japanese dishes. I had the Bruce Li roll which had tempura shrimp topped with crab meat, salmon, tuna, spicy mayo and unagi sauce. I also 2 pieces of the Hamachi (yellowtail), miso soup, and spicy edamame. The fish was some of the freshest I've ever had - flavorful, definitely sushi grade, and I could tell that it also wasn't previously frozen due to the color and texture. The miso soup and the spicy edamame were well-seasoned and delicious. My nephew had a combination plate with orange chicken, broccoli beef, and chicken fried rice. One thing to note that was really nice is that the restaurant allows you to create your own combination plates, they're not set items with no substitutions. When our waitress brought my nephew's combo plate, the food looked freshly cooked and delicious! He ate every bite! If you're ever in Hughson, try the Hughson Asian Kitchen - the friendly staff and tasty food won't disappoint!

A month later we placed a to go order and mentioned the appetizer and she confirmed that was correct. I go to pick it up and the owner comes out and says he will not honor that because the price of the appetizer was too high and pick something else. #1. That wasnt what they offered and we agreed to. #2. If you're not going to honor it why not call me and let me know so I don't drive there and waste my time again? He has my number. Edit: regarding the response below. If the intentions were to offer items up to a certain price then that should've been made clear. The problem was they clearly specified ANY APPETIZER of your choosing numerous times. And obviously they have a responsibility to address this when I placed the order/after instead of waiting for me to drive there.

    DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION- YOU WILL GET SICK! If I could…read moregive this place 0, I would. The reviews definitely don't reflect the actual service and food at this location. Starting off, my best friend and I were in Modesto for Barnes and Noble to get some books for my son. This location being right next to the bookstore was convenient so we went inside. The young girl who served us looked disgusted the moment my best friend said she'd never eaten there and wasn't sure how to order. She looked at her like she was stupid and just said what do you want and was not helpful whatsoever. She got the small poke bowl and I got a small donburi bowl. After what took over 5 minutes for her getting our two bowls from us, she walked away after I paid and I had to ask another worker for a lid to my bowl. Whatever, service sucked, maybe she was having a bad day? We sat down to eat (still hadn't gotten the chicken tempura and gyoza I had ordered for my son). Before my son's food even was ready I had bitten into a very bad piece of shrimp tempura that tasted as if the inside of the batter was covered in mold. I immediately spit it back out into a napkin and just sat there about to throw up. I sat there thinking this is probably just a mistake and maybe I imagined it. Then my son showed me his chicken that he said he didn't want to eat. It was old, rubbery, did not resemble chicken at all, and had black stuff around the chicken under the batter. I went to the worker who was at the counter and told her what we had received. She didn't seem surprised at all, but more surprised I wanted a refund for the two items that were spoiled. No manager onsite, apparently they usually aren't there. She called the manager who did not answer the phone but proceeded to text the worker. Asking exactly what happened several times and then proceeded to say the black on the chicken is seasoning before it's fried, which is not true because the come pre battered and it was just old. I had accepted no refund on the chicken for the ridiculous excuse, but I wanted a refund on the donburi bowl at the very least. The manager asked her to open my napkin and send a pic of the shrimp!!!! THAT IS SO NASTY! That young girl does not get paid enough to be doing all of that. That is revolting! I ended up opening it for her so she didn't have to so she could and a pic. Then the manager stopped responding to her by text. That's fine, Manager, that's fine. You should've just given me a refund for your nasty ass food that was not edible. Now you'll be receiving a visit from the county health department as they were called the moment I left your restaurant because of the food being kept at room temperature, your dirty facility, and the spoiled food you're serving to paying customer. This idiot sent me into my Karen era and I do not even care. Don't mess with people's food. Good luck.
