Called at 8:48 (closes @ 9:00) for pickup in a pinch expecting a missed call... they reminded me they close at 9, so I told them I'd be there before then. Arrived around 5 min later with food almost ready! I try not to order close to closing time, but I'm glad they were kindly willing to accommodate! Curry chicken itself was really satisfying. Nice crunch and good curry flavor. Sashimi was pretty good and would order again if craving sushi! I think this restaurant is more catered for pickup since there isn't much seating. It's also connected to a gas station but cute inside! read more

Oki's Japanese Restaurant - Sashimi Dinner + Curry Chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Havelock, North Carolina

I ate here, in what feels like a billion years ago. It was re-covid when we last visited and my wife has referred to this type of establishment since that time, the type of place that's good, but were it not for Yelp, you'd drive right past. The dining room is now closed. They do have a table with a few chairs at it, but the restaurant no longer has a bathroom, so they've closed the eat-in portion. The staff was friendly, but we didn't eat there. We were looking for a sit-down experience, and since it wasn't available we went elsewhere. read more

It was a rainy night in Havelock and I wanted some cozy (to me) comfort food. I looked on Yelp for Chinese options but they weren't great/the great options were farther than I wanted to drive in Tropical Storm Debbie. Eventually, I found the menu of Oki's. I saw lots of options that I liked and it looked pretty close to where I was staying. I placed my order online and got in the car to head to pick it up. Oki's shares it's parcel of land with a gas station so don't be deterred when you pull in, the restaurant is in the corner. They were doing great business inside - there was a short line and phones were ringing off the hook. A gentleman who was sitting to the side stepped in to help get people checked-out. He made a comment to one woman about how pretty she was. It didn't seem to bother me but that's always sort of an ick to me. Then as I was checking out he made some political comments. I tried to just chuckle them off but I'm consistently surprised when people think that's appropriate to do as if we all think/feel the same way about politics/politicians. Anyway, I got General Tso Chicken, white rice, and a lumpia. Everything tasted good and was hot even when I got back to the hotel and unpacked it all. I do wish they had provided a knife because some of the chicken pieces were definitely too big to be one bite. My late grumble is that I wish they had Thai Sweet Chili sauce to go with the lumpia. They gave me duck sauce instead which was ok, just not as good. read more

Love the sushi from this little place. It's definitely a small take out place but the hibachi is just as good as anywhere else. I like it

Food was great!! Only one table but would recommend for takeout. Staff was very friendly. read more

A friend of ours recommended we try this place and I'm glad we did. The food was pretty dang good! The menu is a bit small, but we made it work. The staff were friendly. There's one little table in the restaurant, so eating in probably isn't a thing, but that's fine with us. Everyone starts somewhere. We'll definitely order again. read more

For what it is as a smaller, quick, take out eatery OKi's is great! The servings are very fair and the food is enjoyable.

The gyoza is great, it always comes at a reasonable time (we order in), the AK47 roll is delicious. We get Oki's anytime we're in the mood for some quality sushi. read more

Oki's Japanese Restaurant - Gyoza, Crab Rangoons, AK roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Havelock, North Carolina

My husband loves the beef yakisoba here, so I thought I would give it a try and get the gyoza (fried) and chicken katsu. The portion was great, and the sauces that were served with the meals were amazing. The place is small but is a hidden gem, and everyone was super nice. Food came out pretty quick for takeout. Would come here more often just for the gyoza sauce. read more

Sushi wasn't great, some of the warm rolls I ordered came cold and the deep fried rolls were just covered in dough, felt like I was eating funnel cake with fish in it. Quick delivery but came in a crushed container read more

This place has really went downhill :( we used to come here a few times a year and it was always a good spot to get an almost authentic Japanese food experience. Sadly my order last night was a major disappointment! I ordered chicken Katsu--no complaints there it was okay. My son had shrimp fried rice--no complaints it was also just okay. But husband ordered 2 sushi rolls and a miso soup. When I brought it home to him he said it looked weird. He ate one piece and made a strange face. I asked what was wrong? He said it tasted weird. He grabbed another piece from a different roll and made the same face again and spit it out. He said the fish tasted bad! He said he couldn't eat it and threw it away. Also when I was checking out the lady was super overwhelmed and had an attitude with me. I asked her for some white sauce, she added $1.50 to my order and when I asked her why did she charge me for sauce that goes with the food.... She pointed to the board and said it costed $.75 per tiny cup! The cup was barely filled up, so I told her never mind and just forget about it! Not sure why this costs extra, any other Japanese place I've been to always include the sauce at no extra cost! Anyways, awful experience, and will not be back! read more

Food is always so good, service is great. Wouldn't really recommend the sushi but that is just my personal opinion. Great place for takeout!

The Crab Rangoon's were great, the sushi was pretty good. I recommend this place and will definitely eat here again.

Food wasn't horrible but also wasn't anything to write home about. Very friendly and funny staff made the interaction enjoyable. If you just want quick take out food nothing fancy then go for it. read more

I waited more than 20 minutes in the restaurant for 1 Double Crunch Roll that was ordered before I drove to pick it up.

Hate to only give 3 stars because everyone was very nice and I like to support local places. However, it took 30 min to get a chicken teriyaki bento box! The rice was nice and sticky and the soy sauce was salty and tangy. Chicken was gummy and appeared to have been pre-cooked because it had a grilled flavor, not teriyaki- which was too thick and tasted old. Gyoza could've been excellent, but was not fresh, and looked brown on one side as if it had been reheated. Overall, I would give Oki's a 3.5, bit too many food mistakes to get higher. I'll try again and chalk it up to a bad, busy lunch day because others have shown me to-go orders that looked and tasted fresh and great! read more

My family loves that we are able to Japanese and also some Chinese dishes. Their food is delicious. The location and exterior is a little off putting but don't let that deter you! It's worth a shot to try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

They deliver.. Yes it takes a while but our food always comes hot! Love it. I always get the chicken katsu and my husband usually gets the curry chicken. The servings are large IMO. I can't find one everything in one sitting but then again, I don't like to stuff my face. read more

Oki's Japanese Restaurant - Chicken Yakisoba - Sushi Bars Near Me - Havelock, North Carolina

Ordered the Yakitori Dinner which includes 3 pieces of yakitori and fried rice. I asked them to add shrimp to my rice with a side of lumpia. All food was terrible - all of it! Yakitori was burnt to the point where I couldn't even chew it. There was no sauce whatsoever on the yakitori. The rice had zero flavor. I paid an extra $3.00 for a lousy 6 pieces of shrimp added to my rice. Lumpia came with zero sauce. Overall, terrible takeout experience. I've been going here off and on for over 30 years and never had such poor quality food served to me. New owners need to get it together! I will not be returning. read more

what a great surprise, my wife and i have been looking for a great asian restaurant for six months, my son recommended oki's because of the uber reviews. the rice, lo mein, chiken and steak was extremely well prepared and tasty. i cannot believe the attention to detail; every bite was a pleasure and more then one can consume in two meals. read more

So at first glance it looks sketchy let's just be real. It's next to a gas station, but its a hidden gem. The owner is super great he's a retired marine with an amazing sense of humor. My girlfriend and friend ate here. She got the Texas roll which was actually pretty spicy and fun since we are all from Texas. I had the salmon roll, spicy California roll, and then one other roll whose name I can't remember. 3 rolls for $13. Thats a great deal. They were actually pretty good for the money spent. With sushi you get what you pay for so no its not the best quality, but still really good! We also got the steak hibachi, which was also super great! It was the highlight of my meal actually. The steak was cooked medium which is what we wanted. The rice was flavorful and the dipping sauce was great. They also deliver to MCAS so that's good information. OH and theres no alcohol. read more

Nothing special really. The food is realizable, but bland. American Japanese/Chinese food. The location is a bit sketchy in a very run down gas station, but inside is clean enough. They do deliver within a short radius. There aren't a lot of options in the area, so if you have a craving this may have to do. read more

Went expecting this to be a dine in place, found out when we arrived that it is not. The person running register was polite, took our order as soon as we were ready and the sushi rolls (total of 5) were all done fairly quickly. The sushi itself was nothing to be impressed by, however it was still good. read more

It's not what I expected, I love Japanese okinawan food specially yakisoba and tempura. My first time to order food at okis, and I give 2 star the food was salty soggy. I'm not gonna order here again. read more

I never had a bad meal from this place! It's a little hidden restaurant that is worth a try!

Not bad for the area. The fish was fresh and my order was ready when I arrived. Don't be put off by the location. It's the beat sushi in the area by far. read more

Great food, reminds me of being in Japan. Always very nice and polite, I do miss sitting in the restaurant and enjoying the Japanese decor. Food is always prepared well and never cold. Great care is taken when the food is prepared!!!!! read more

What a pleasant surprise!! Skip the next 3 paragraphs if you just want a review of the food. Otherwise read on to understand why this place was such a surprise. Oki's is a little gas station restaurant on a side road in the middle of a smallish town in NC. When I first saw it, my initial instinct was to hop back into the car, and keep driving, however, my fiance assured me I would be surprised. So, I went in -- reluctantly. The place was clean, but aesthetically it did little to quiet the urge to bolt through the door back into the car. I really wanted to leave when I saw lumpia and crab rangoon on the menu - awesome, ANOTHER Filipino-japanese-chinese fusion joint. (bc in my opinion most restaurants worth eating at don't have random foods from random other asian cultures on their menus) We had heard from somebody that you could order off the menu. You can't really. I asked about kitsune udon. The japanese lady there knew what it was, but said they only make things on the menu. OK. np. I got the tempura udon. My fiance got the pork katsu (tonkatsu - which the waiter thought was chicken --sigh). Locals swear by the lumpia, so we got some of that too. This is where Oki's earns its stars. Let me clarify that the food is actually 3-STAR worthy, but for its location, it earns 4-stars. The lumpia was good. It was a bit bigger/thicker than I'm used to, but I'd get it again. The tonkatsu was good too. The breading didn't overpower the tender pork underneath, it wasn't overly greasy, or dry/overcooked either. Portions are HUGE! The tempura was good too. I would recommend. The breading was not too thick, and didn't just slide off when dipped in the broth or the sauce. It wasn't overly oily either. The noodles were perfect. The only complaints were the fish cake was cut too thick, they used cubed firm tofu rather than yuboo, and the broth was a little too salty. Otherwise, presentation was more than I expected. For a gas station dive in the middle of nowhere, it was really good. The staff were helpful, accommodating, and prompt. I would recommend all 3 of these dishes. I think I'll try the Soba next visit. read more

Food is good, if you're contemplating wether to eat here, you should, get the Chicken Fried Rice

Good food for the money. The service was good and fast. Portions are big and very tasty. Environment is quite and discreet. So if you want to enjoy some decent Jap food in a quite place, this is where you wanna go. There are a lot of things I want to try from the menu so I will definitely come back to do so! read more

My husband and I went here last night and ordered take-out for the first time. We followed the gps and thought it was wrong until we noticed it's attached to a gas station and it's a lot smaller and run down then we imagined. We walked in and the lady seemed really stressed out and impatient. We had to look at a menu and she just stared at us. We ordered the hibachi chicken and crab ragoon and it came out to around $30! A little pricey. We waited 25 minutes in the restaurant. It looked really dirty and there is some serious mold damage all over the ceiling (might be because there is no ac) but anyways, we got our food and it was very good!! Not expecting that at all. I'll probably order for lunch next time because it's cheaper but overall it was okay. read more

Having just arrived in Havelock for a few days of work, I immediately started Yelping to try & find the best places in town to eat. There really aren't that many restaurants in the immediate area, but I was lucky enough to find several good reviews for Oki's and I agree that this is a top notch place! The food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. They also offer free delivery for orders over $10 which was very helpful today when I was working and couldn't get away. Highly recommended! read more

Oki's Japanese Restaurant - They have taco rice!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Havelock, North Carolina

The location next to a gas station is strange, as others have noted, but the food and the prices were really good! I'm from CA, and I would venture to say that the quality of the Teppanyaki dishes is as good as any place I frequent out West. It was my first visit here, and I had the Hibachi Steak meal, while my son had the Hibachi Shrimp. The Hibachi steak was tender and the quantity of meat was a great value for the money. The fried rice was also pretty good, but I didn't really care for the Miso soup. It was a little bit too salty. My son enjoyed his Hibachi Shrimp as well, although the amount of onions that accompanied his shrimp dish was a little too much. Next time, I'll ask them to skip the onions. I will definitely come here again. I'd like to try the Udon soup next time. read more

GREAT little restaurant. Okinawan japanese food. For the Marines who have been to Oki, this is the only place around that has TACO RICE!! They are closed on Mondays. the only negatives I would list is that it is a very small restaurant and they don't take credit cards. but soooo worth it! read more

I go to Oki's about once a week! They have amazing BBQ and authentic Okinawan food... Don't let the size and the location of the restaurant fool you. The owners and employees are very friendly and from Okinawa. Be sure to try the Omu Rice. They do take credit cards now and have recently updated their menu. read more

Oki's Japanese Restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - Havelock, North Carolina

I'm from SoCal and this little whole in the wall Japanese spot definitely surpised me. So i've been in NC for about 2 months now and have been craving some asian food. Looked this place up and thought, why not. Expectation were not high since NC hasn't surprised me with their food selection so far. I came here thinking I was getting the Udon, but changed my mind when I saw someone else order general tso's chicken. Chicken was nice and crispy on the outside and when you bite into the chicken and past the crispy exterior it had a thin soft layer of batter before the chicken. The portion was pretty big. I didn't want to stuff myself so i took half to go. Price was average for an a la carte order. I'm definitely coming back for more, but i think i'll give the udon a try next time. read more
