First time trying this place I feel like premium price menu was not worth the hype. The sashimi and the apps was okay The sashimi was you can only 1order each per round which means you cannot order the same thing again which I think is stupid. The sushi was big disappointment because I feel like most of the roll has crabmeat and shrimp tempura. I don't see like a lot of good sushi rolls on that premium's menu. For me I wouldn't come back here. But the service was good. read more

Horrible service!! We waited 1 full hour to receive our food! But they didn't even bring out our food! only 2 appetizers were brought out. Everyone was getting served except us. First & last time we ever go here. read more

My bf and I came to okawa sushi to try out their premium ayce. Typically we love Kenzo for ayce sushi but was excited to try a different spot. After trying Okawa I would have to say it alright mainly because we thought the special rolls were a bit lacking in uniqueness. Hopefully they do expand on their rolls selections in the future. We tried three different roles - lion king, bay bridge, and milpitas. They were on the smaller skinny size rolls which can be a good thing as less rice to eat but they didn't really wow my tastebuds. However we did enjoy the hamachi Kama, salmon Kama, salmon carpaccio, and the nigiris (salmon and yellow tail!) and the limited sashimi. Service was a bit slow as there weren't enough servers and you had to order with the servers but we did appreciate our server for always being so nice/calm and helpful whenever we were able to flag her down. Overall not a bad spot and worth a try! read more

Great food. Horrible service. Our server, did not even check in on us one bit, had to call multiple people to get what we needed. Her name was Joyce. read more

The food was really great. I enjoyed everything I ordered. The service was good. We went on a Monday so it was minimally staffed but we never had to wait long for anything. The ambiance is perfect for the concept. Music playing isn't too loud to have a conversation and the decor is what you'd expect in a sushi restaurant. Definitely worth going back to read more

We read some negative reviews for this place prior to trying it out, but we decided to give it a try before disrespecting the place. We went there on a Friday night, and we immediately got seated. We selected the Premium option. We did notice that the menu was smaller than other AYCE sushi places, but we wanted to see how the quality is compared to other places. Overall, the food were all decent quality. The servers did come by to check on her often to place our orders and refill the water. Overall, I would say that the experience at Okawa Sushi was better than we expected. It was not the best AYCE sushi, but it was pretty decent. We would come back to try other items on the menu. read more

AYCE sushi is well priced for good variety of rolls and nigiri. The hot food was delicious. Had hamachi Kama that was really worth every penny. Will definitely return when I have a craving! read more

Only 1 item out of 6 that we ordered was good. Seaweed salad and even sliced ginger were dry. Wasabi had a powdery consistency and not fresh. Serving sizes are small. Servers are easily rattled and need more training. Tables are set too close together, I guess, for maximum occupancy. read more

Came after seeing that there was a new AYCE sushi spot nearby and saw reviews that dinner time was busier than lunch. We came at around 11:45 for the lunch hours and made a "reservation" and there was already a lot of people in line to be seated. For it being lunch, it already seemed pretty empty with lots of seats still available. The space was actually pretty big and the music and decor was welcoming and set the vibe. Despite the reservation, we still had to wait maybe 15-20 minutes before being seated. After being seated, it took probably another 15 minutes before being helped and our server who seated us avoided any eye contact and looked away anytime we would request help or needed to put an order in. The food in general was pretty average for sushi and the appetizers were hit or miss. We had ordered tempura and got karate chicken which was very undercooked and still slightly pink on the inside. I understand that this was still the soft opening and they were working out the kinks, but the service really was pretty bad and the food was alright but I do not think was worth the price you pay. read more

Horrible service and the food never came out. Server never came to check up on us after our order which never came. Do not come here. I will not be. read more

We had joined the waitlist then had two others join after us. They got seated before we did and we got there first which made no sense to me. The food was ok. 39 dollars for premium wasn't worth it to me. All the ingredients on the rolls seems to be fairly similar as another yelper had said. Our server however was very attentive. Would I come back? Probably not. read more

The ambiance is gorgeous and the food selection is spot on. The waiters are consistently checking in to ask if we need anything else and accurately recommend great options. This is my new favorite spot and it is so perfect for date night! 10/10 read more

Great AYCE when you are craving sushi. 4th visit and this place is consistently good and fresh, super friendly staff, and prompt to bring food out. Good variety including hot and cold dishes. I'll be back! read more

I live nearby and was really excited that an AYCE sushi restaurant finally opened so close to me. Unfortunately, today's experience was very disappointing. After we sat down and ordered our first round, we waited about 20 minutes, but the dishes never came -- they were sent to other tables instead. By the time we actually got some food, we had already waited so long that we were full from waiting. I really hope the restaurant improves its service because this kind of experience makes it hard to come back again. read more

Pace yourself, it's ayce! The portions are pretty good imo. Rice portion is not too crazy like Kenzo in SJ. The sushi rolls are bite size portions. That way you can order more and not get too bloated or overly stuffed. The grilled hamachi is really good and big portion which made me happy. Yes I recommend! We didn't have to wait long when we came in for dinner after work. They almost forgot my order of baby octopus salad, it was given at the end..good save but, taste wise not liking it. I liked the chewiness but not the artificial and metallic taste. read more

We are frequent sushi eaters.. we went here today.. the guy at front seating people is not friendly at all just not very welcoming. Food was ok for price it's very small portions. Vs sushi in Milptas has sr stuff for same prices but you get more than your moneys worth. I really wanted this place to work I love 5 mins .. sadly it's a no for me. read more

The food and service were excellent! Came on a Thursday night and got seated right away. The sushi was fresh and the rolls were decent size and good. Only tried the salmon double and crunch but both were good. Will definitely be back to try other rolls and items on the menu. read more

I WILL NEVER BE COMING BACK HERE AGAIN! $39.95 for Premium? Nothing on the PREMIUM options were Premium. All the rolls literally had the same ingredients with mayo cream on top. The options were very limited and quality is just NOT it. One thing that drove me crazy was they kept asking if I needed more water when clearly the server sees the water cup is still full. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about great customer service and an attentive server, but GOD DAMN! I'm not even exaggerating, the server asked 13 times within the 40 minute I was dining there. Another pet peeve I have is when servers tries to take your plate when clearly there's still food on the plate.... I understand if it's super busy and they are running on food plates but there were literally 6 tables and most of them were just two parties..... ALSO, it's an AYCE sushi restaurant, there's should be PLENTY of plates. I won't be recommending this place to nobody! read more

Hubby and I tried this restaurant yesterday and was a little turned off because of not being a buffet style where the food is already prepared. And you just have to go and pick them up. So we ordered the Deluxe, which could cost you 40 Dollars and everything on one menu page you could have, but there are some selections that you ,could only order once or twice. So we ordered a few of the expensive ones, like the crab and hamachi kama. When the food was delivered, which is also surprisingly very fast. It was very flavorful, and are decent portions! We love everything that they have on the menu and I think my husband ate 3 hamachis and 5 orders of soft shell crab. The raw fish is fresh and tastes amazing. read more

The portion size at this restaurant was a big NO. The rice was wet, and overall the sushi was very disappointing. We came after seeing a TikTok video, but it turned out to be the worst sushi I've had in the Bay Area. Definitely won't be coming back. PLUS the lady server was rude. :(( read more

AYCE Sushi! Daughter ordered the Lion King and Caterpillar sushi rolls (8 pieces per order) and chicken udon. I ordered edamame, fried tofu, mixed tempura, chicken and pork tonkatsu, and fried fried. The foods are underseasoned, on the bland side. The udon broth is one step up from boiled water. The teriyaki chicken tastes like the chicken was boiled (zero flavor), then cut into slices, and the teriyaki sauce simply drizzled on top. Everything need to be dipped in their accompanying sauces, or dipped in soy sauce provided on the table. Had so much high hope for this restaurant, but with the foods tasting so bland, guess I will be looking forward to the next restaurant that take over this space. If food flavoring does not improve, this place will be closed by year end. Food: one star. Two stars is because servers are super nice and attentive. Brought over the foods and extra utensils and napkins with smiles. Lastly, music is like loud club rap music. ONLY rap music the entire 90 mins we were here. No variety inmusic. Does not match the restaurant ambiance nor esthetic. Different choice of music would had been better. Brittany the server did change the disc track to Kpop songs when told her we did not like continuous rap music. read more

Okawa Sushi - AYCE sushi and teriyaki dishes. So happy I'm hungry and can enjoy their $$27.99 weekday regular lunch price ($34.95 Premium weekday)! - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

We really enjoyed our dinner . The service was great and the sushi was too. We did the premium AYCE and thought it was a great value. We'll be back. read more

We did a takeout order from this place, the sushi was very good. Fish was fresh, flavourful and melted in mouth. My family enjoyed the food a lot. Can't comment on service since we did not dine in. Ambiance was good and wish to dine in in future Lastly the portion size was small for the price, and hence 3 stars. If we just base on food , it would be 5 stars read more

first time trying out this new place, we came for weekday lunch and picked the premium option. it was Not too busy and service was good. We ordered 3 rounds and they did not miss out any items, to our surprise. The food quality was decent. Fish was fresh and rice is small on the nigiri, which is a plus. The soft shell crab and fried oyster appetizers were very good so we ordered a second time. Pretty good value for ayce sushi. We will come back. read more

The sushi is a great value and you can make a reservation ahead of time so there's no waiting.

I came here during their first week of opening . Paid about $34 for their ayce premium . The service was good the food was decent for the price . read more

Cheap, good service, sushi was the perfect size so delicious. I like that they don't have many options so you can try everything and also the size of the sushi it's perfect read more

I don't typically make reviews, but I had a terrible time here. For lunch, I paid the premium price to order from the nigiri section - the nigiri had waaay too much rice compared to the fish given. The food took extremely long to come out, and when it did, it did not look appetizing and tasted extremely bland (except for the baked mussels). Service was mediocre. I asked to cancel an order to which one of the bussers told me to flag down the employees with the tablet myself (the order somehow came out anyway even after I cancelled it). Ambiance was nice at least. Overall, I cannot recommend this place when there are many better AYCE sushi options in the area that deliver better quality food for significantly less wait time. read more

Very delicious All-U-Can-Eat I have never been. Very spacious and cozy area; also friendly services in this restaurant. Sashimi was very fresh, cooked food and hand-roll were great and yummy. They have a private area for birthday party or company event. And the price was very worth for it. Highly recommended and definitely will come back again ! read more

My wife and I came across this soft opening AYCE on Tiktok. We realized it was close by so we decided to give it a try. I am not sure if we had a bad night.. but the service was not great. We were seated for roughly two hours and the sushi rolls felt like an eternity to come out. 3/5 sushi rolls arrived in that span. The size of each roll were small, which was appropriate for AYCE. Appetizers and hand rolls were coming out a bit quicker, but still had a wait time. Customers were leaving the restaurant left and right. It felt like a game of who could be patient. It seems like there needs to be more sushi chefs in order to accomodate the pace of AYCE. The owner/manager was kind enough to give us a discount because of the service, which inclined me to give this a 2 star. I look forward in giving this place another shot once they work the kinks out. read more

Food and service were great. Very friendly staff. A good variety for my 10, 15 and 17-year-old. They also have healthier options for non sushi fan. Ambience is clean. Missing few items as expected because it is their soft opening. Sushi: Fish and rice ratio is good. I love their raw smoked salmon option. read more

Went during the soft opening and the food was very good. My experiences at AYCE sushi places have been mixed. But I was happily surprised at the quality of the food. Again, it was during the soft opening, so there were some minor kinks with the pace of service, but pretty much what you would expect when training up staff on the menu and system. I'll be back. read more

This is not a review on the food but more on the staff for charging my table dishonestly. Went in on a Monday night, 7/21/25 for a party of 6. 18% gratuity is automatically included for 6 or more people which is pretty standard l nowadays. We paid for the premium AYCE course at $39.95. The math for 6 people with Milpitas sales tax (9.375%) and gratuity comes out to be roughly $310... and I was charged for $355... EDIT: Came in and explained situation to the manager, we determined the servers had charged gratuity twice by accident as many of them are still training. I was given a refund for the extra amount. I appreciate the manager's politeness and swift response to the issue read more

The food was spectacular. Salmon nigiri was fresh, soft shell crab was crispy. The hamachi kama was exceptional, grilled to perfection! The service was really nice, I do not understand the bad reviews. Our waitress constantly checked up on us! read more

Came here on a monday night around 8pm and the food did not disappoint. The food came out really quick and the staff were so attentive and quick. For AYCE I was surprised at how good the quality is also for the fish. Will definitely be back and hope this place stays since this location has changed a couple times. Will be back!! read more

I'm with most reviews the only server who takes care of you is the girl. The rest of them ignore you and barely even fill up your water. The food is great if you can get some read more

Saturday price: $40 per person Waiter didn't bring the soft shell crabs, nigiris and the hand rolls that we ordered as we watched others get them who arrived way after we did [frustrating, unacceptable], had to wave down another waiter to double check and he also forgot, so, we had to wave him down again later, waiting close to 35 minutes, my son and I were just sitting there with no food, watching everyone else get their food, mind you, they have a 90 minute time limit for dining in Waiters are tunnel visioned into just taking orders and bringing out the food as fast as they can and they do not check on the customers for little things like water, extra napkins, etc. Deep fried foods [soft shell crabs, oysters, tonkatsu, shrimp tempura] were on point Nigiris are so so, very thinly cut fish, nothing special, almost like the sushis that you find at Chinese buffets Rolls are just okay, tons of sauce, will pass next time, whoever is running the restaurant should go down the street with the sushi chefs to Sendai Sushi and see how they make their rolls to see how it's done correctly Salads [jellyfish, seaweed, cucumber], no flavor, will pass next time The fish [Hamachi Kama], very good Overall, from the deep fried foods and the Hamachi Kama alone, it was worth the $40 although the customer service was extremely poor Manager needs to re-train the waiters on customer service, otherwise, customers just won't return, even if they have to pay more at other places read more

Food and service are good. Miso soup came out right after we ordered. Sushi are small pieces not packing with lots of rice. Compare to many AYCE Sushi in bay area, it's decent . The mini udon is not "mini", it's a large bowl. Soft shell crab, Salmon Teriyaki, sashimi Salad, Salman Carpaccio, Dragon, 49er are good choices. Mochi ice cream and sesame balls are good. read more

Horrible service when you do all you can eat. They'll come by once and if they're busy, you'll be lucky if they come by a second time you'll probably go home starving. read more

Decided to test this via door dash before wasting an evening there. Their sashimi is PAPER THIN. The rice was TOUGH. There were WRONG/MISSING items. The nigiri is the size of HALF of a thumb. Everything looks miniscule except for the rolls which are mostly rice. Never going there. read more
