We frequent this place often and have always had a good experience. It's important to have perspective with these reviews. I give this five stars for what it is. Is it an omakase sushi restaurant in a big city, no. It's not meant to be that. What it is, is a nice (recently renovated I noticed), reasonably priced local restaurant that we're glad to go to any time. I should also add that they've always been amenable to substitutions or just plain build-my-own rolls (without the off-putting attitude known to come with some sushi chefs). Just last night a friend of mine and I walked in about 20 min before closing. It was quiet with the last customer about to leave. I hate being a last minute shopper, but we just needed to eat without the need to linger so we gave it a shot. They greeted us kindly and our waitress couldn't have been nicer throughout the meal. Also a special thanks to the gentleman we spoke to when we were leaving (owner? Manager?) And whom was also extremely nice and very welcoming. read more

Have lived in the area, but don't get to Jackson much. We decided to stop in. Service with a smile!! Our waitress was and knowledgeable and made sure to bring a wine menu too. Food was good, although I was skeptical since there are not really any other sushi restaurants close by. Food was fresh and the perfect amount. The tempura was hot and not all greasy. The sushi rolls were great too. Fresh lemon is my favorite on a roll! We will be back! We will read more

Absolutely great sushi. Staff is always super friendly. Everything tastes High quality. The decor is absolutely stunning. We are so lucky to have such high quality sushi in our small county. Who needs to drive out of town when you've got great sushi so close. This will always be our go-to spot read more

My favorite place to get sushi. My favorite roll has to be the spider web it's got the perfect amount of heat to it. The owners are so nice and make sure you're satisfied. I usually order to go but if you decide to dine in it's a really cute place nestled in our small town. read more

I come here once a year an up-to-date everything was good. Today I waited almost 45 minutes till I got my appetizer. I seen a guy sitting next to me at the bar ordered after me got his food and he left. I noticed another guy come in place an order to go got his stuff and left. I seen a family of four arrived about 30 minutes after I did, ordered received their food and they just left now. Ridiculous! read more

Pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious and atmosphere tranquil. We ordered the tempura combo. The shrimp were overdone and the breading was heavy. The same for the roll with "tempura shrimp". This was why I gave it four stars. All together this was a great spot for sushi in the foothills. Will return the next time a craving for sushi hits. read more

About an average cheap sushi place. Came here on a Wednesday when they have buy one get one half off. I got the chicken teriyaki combo. It came with rice, salad & a choice of side. The chicken teriyaki portion was pretty big. The salad was really just some lettuce doused in salad dressing with a slice of tomato. There was really too much dressing, it was pooling at the bottom. For my side I got the California roll. It's basically 3 pieces which seems like a strange number. I feel like I always get my rolls in even numbers. For its price it's really not bad for the price especially on Wednesdays. The portion is pretty big and the food is average. The restaurant does seem to have a lot of seating although it was mostly empty when I went. read more

The waitresses is a snob. Greets some with smile and conversation while others with a scowl and subtlety. The rice is shoved on the sushi nori by a machine. read more

Friendly service and you can buy/order fresh baked cookies! It's Sushi in Jackson, CA. Amador County. Enough said. That said, they're running an earnest operation and the food is good enough. Remember you're having sushi in Jackson, CA, before voicing any complaints. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I've been coming here for years, and I always got one of the rolls that they offer. They are solid rolls, but lately the go to has changed. Now my fiancé and I get the miso soup, sea steak (10/10), the garlic and parmesan edamame, and the gyoza. Everything tastes great, and we've been going weekly. read more

The power of basic human kindness... Bottom line: I locked my keys in my car, with all my stuff except the few bills in my pocket and my phone. The Safeway gas station workers and Dot and the rest of the Crew at Oko Sushi & Teriyaki took me in when I was ready to cry and felt like I didn't have a friend in the world. I was already a solid fan of this Safeway crew and now Oko Sushi will have a customer for life. Great customer service, good solid food, and a hug when I needed it. Honestly, who could ask for more? Give these folks all of your money, they work hard and they deserve it. Here's the rest of the story if you want to know the details... It's Diablo wind eve and I just got off work. I stopped at my favorite gas station to load up before my hour drive back to Carmichael. Having completed my gas purchase, I exchanged my cc for my wallet and prepared to go inside for the rest. Unfortunately, old habits die hard and I continue to forget that I don't have keyless entry in this car. (First world problems, I know, but it's hard to break habits you have developed over years.) And of course I felt keys in my pocket, apparently my work keys, and I locked my car with the key in the ignition. Oh no!!! The good news is that I still had my phone in another pocket and I had "some money". I didn't realize I had locked my doors though until I had already paid for my purchases at the gas station. The amount of money I had left will be important later. After I called AAA member services and got my original 2 hour time estimate, I went inside to talk to the gas station employees and let them know what was happening. Luckily this gas station has 12 pumps and I was on the farthest one in, so they promised I wouldn't be towed and that they would call me if the tow truck guy showed up. The employees also clued me in that there was only one AAA towing agency out here, Rory's Towing, so I could try to call them directly if I wanted. AAA was having nationwide issues with their systems. Turns out the towing service couldn't help me at first, but that's ok, that's their rules. So, I waited in the area for AAA to call me. After 2 hours, I called back and got a new 4 hour time estimate. I was angry, but hey it gave me a chance to try some food in the area when I hardly have the chance to stop. So, I headed into Oko Sushi, ordered my food, talked with Dot, my waitress, about what was going on & prepared to wait some more. That's when it hit me: I didn't have my cc to pay and I went to sushi!! I'm felt so dumb I started to cry. I didn't know how I was going to fix this, when I think the restaurant was going to close before the tow truck came, but Dot and the girls helped me work it out. I was beside myself with gratitude. You just don't find folks like this anymore, but here they were, exactly when I needed them. And thank goodness because the rest of the story gets a little worse before it gets better. After dinner, I went back to check on my car & call AAA again because still no truck. How can this be when they only work with 1 guy in the area? When I call they tell me to go commercial because of their system errors: I was completely stunned. I had been sitting now for 4+ hours just to be told to go commercial & submit my receipts? Oh my goodness!!! I call Rory's Towing back, and now the towing agency is mad because AAA has kept me waiting so long, that they send a driver out stat. He was there in 15 minutes and I was in my car by 9:15pm, home by 10ish. Now, I have a card for Rory's and permission to call them as soon as I call AAA. I will also be asking AAA to assign them from now on, now that I know they are the only ones in the area near work. The power of human kindness was shown to me 3 times. I am blessed to have had such an experience. read more

Oh, my goodness! Great place. The sushi was awesome. The dinner plates were plentiful. The ambiance was great loved the jazz music playing in the background. read more

Phenomenal Prices, Food, and Service. Been coming here for years would definitely recommend

Great food- makes gluten-free custom options for me with fresh food and thoughtful toward food allergies!! Great staff, if you explain what you can/can't eat they'll make it! Very friendly service. read more

How have I never reviewed this restaurant because it's our favorite in Amador by far!! We've been coming here for about a year and half since we moved up here. It's our go-to for family lunches, dinners, and to bring guests to. The food is ALWAYS amazing and we absolutely adore the waitresses. Outstanding service and food. read more

Great Food!!! Best sushi within 100 miles. Large portions. Staff was great highly recommend

This place is honestly one of the worst sushi places. By far do not recommend going to oko. Sushi tasted like rubber. And when respectfully let our waitress know. She got a major attitude. Also not knowing that the water they give you they fill up from the sink they wash their hands in. GROSS!!!. read more

Oko doesn't have the best or worst taking sushi. It's pretty neutral. Considering Oko is near the mountains I would say it's to be expected. It's the only sushi spot within approximately 30 miles so if your craving fish I'd give it a try. read more

I tried this business within the first month it opened and found it horrible. Came back a few years later, tried multiple times, and still horrible. So here we are, years and years later, kept hearing good things from people I know, so tried it again. My whole party found it gross. Tried 6 different rolls and two noodle dishes, all bad. I eat lots of Japanese food and try many places, this is one of the worst, in my opinion. read more

The sushi rolls were very fishy smelling and had no flavor. They were also made with minced tuna. I won't be returning.

Great food and nicely served! Everything was done with politeness and good customer service. Outstanding Oko Sushi!

Nice service. Great food. Quiet and pleasant dining room. I would recommend this place.

Sushi shouldn't have a strong fish smell. And when ordering tuna sushi, it shouldn't look like it's been minced

Delicious! I'm not sure how they do it but they manage to always get fresh fish in the middle of Jackson! This is always my go to spot when I'm around the area read more

So last night I ordered from this place instead of one of my usual 3 fav spots for sushi. About 30 minutes after I got extremely sick and let's just say wasted $40 Now I know why I shouldn't experiment because Door-dash reviews are so not accurate. The weird things was everything tasted okay but I noticed a lot of their rolls were fried. I decided to try the Himachi one which had friend hamachi in the middle then fresh on top. Nothing really tasted fresh it was very heavy like fried food and I had also gotten an avocado salad thinking to keep part of my meal healthy. That also was super heavy. I felt like I ate at a BBQ joint type of heaviness not that fresh light feeling when you eat sushi. Never eating here again and tossing my leftovers, can't say I've ever eaten food to have it come up so fast. read more

I love the Amador roll and chicken katsu. The river is always sticky, chewy and yummy in the bento box. The flavors and sa uses in the sushi are delicious. read more

So I wasn't happy with my first time at this place and decided to give them another try. Yuck. Day old rice, watery dressing on my salad snd when does teriyaki chicken look like soup?! Hands down the worst Japanese food I have ever had. A ten year old could cook better than this. read more

Oko Sushi - Chicken teriyaki lunch box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jackson, California

They were fast and polite. The food was delicious and gorgeously prepared. It was a cute little restaurant, perfect for lunch.

I feel like this place has gone down hill from a few years ago. Went back and sushi was good, but we also got two bowls of ramen and one udon and we didn't even really touch it. We asked for something off since none of us touched our soups and they gave us 10% off which basically just took care of tax, nice of them to do but kind of wanted more than that for a $75 bill which 3 things we didn't eat at all. Then all three of us felt sick the rest of the day. Service was bad. We had to speak up very loudly across the restaurant so that we could get any help at all. Not a good experience at all. Also what Japanese/Sushi restaurant doesn't have mochi??? read more

Fantastic sushi. I ordered a salmon wrap, it's like a sushi burrito. It was so good, I am pretty picky about my sushi and this was about as good as I've ever had. No idea why there are negative reviews, some people are impatient I guess, but if anymore complains about the flavor they are absolutely full of it. read more

I Love Oko sushi. Once you try them you definitely won't go back to store bought sushi. They service here is great! Always greeted with a smile and always told have a great rest of your evening when leaving. The food here is fantastic. You can get raw or cooked sushi. They also have bento boxes. You can never go wrong with what you choose to eat! read more
