OOKA's is an amazing Japanese restaurant - truly authentic Japanese food and a hibachi area - just around the corner from Doylestown Hospital (now Penn Hospital). We were visiting our friend when he was in the hospital - of the seven days we were there, we ate at OOKA's five times. The food is unusual, not your usual tuna roll, although they have that too, but many fresh, authentic and tasty dishes we've never seen anywhere else. We particularly enjoyed the lobster miso bisque, spicy tuna pizza, lobster bao bun, black cod with miso, pumpkin tempura roll, pan seared diver scallops and tuna to-ban. The have many specialty rolls, sushi, sashimi and four types of ramen. The menu is extensive and the food was always fresh and absolutely delicious! And believe it or not, it's extremely reasonably priced. For a drink, try the Blue Crush Margarita-it's beautiful and delicious The service is impeccable, the food comes out fast, but not rushed and the staff are unfailingly kind and welcoming. read more

Just had another solo lunch at the sushi bar with 3 orders of the seared striped bass with (tiny but thicker this time) foie gras. Delicious. I also got a spicy salmon hand roll. Service was a bit chaotic - the poor server was in charge of a busy sushi bar plus running room to tables. Food was amazing this time. Very good. read more

Service is so friendly and warm! We had an appetizer that the server recommended. A branzino in a cold tomato consommé with flowers! Almost too lovely to eat. So refreshing on a hot day! You get a soup and salad with lunch specials- fresh and delicious! read more

Dined there last night with my wife and everything was perfect. The restaurant is always extremely clean and the staff is excellent. Our waiter was Frank and he was a perfect gentleman. Wonderful service and the food is very delicious. Great atmosphere there too. Usually a group celebrating a birthday or something similar. Highly recommend Ooka and we'll surely be going back soon. Thanks Frank! read more

I absolutely love sushi, everything about it from the flavor to the ceremony that goes with eating it. Ooka does a good job deliverying on both but does leave somethings to be desired. First, the service of the restaurant is phenomenal, from the time you enter the restaurant until you leave you certainly feel appreciated. It seemed that our server was always on standby, never overdoing it but there exactly when we needed him. I enjoy this level of service and in all honesty it doesn't exist much outside of the top tier restaurants in a large city. I would have to give them an A+ for this! The food overall is as I expected. I guess I could consider this a gateway into sushi but nothing that really wowed me. We started with the Edamame and Gyoza with pork. The Edamame was good and as expected, steamed soy beans with a nice sprinkle of salt. The Gyoza in flavor was good, I enjoyed the pork and I was happy when I saw what appeared to be a crisp bottom but, after tasting they were the same texture all over. There's nothing like a delicate Gyoza with a crisp seared bottom...didn't happen here. They're not bad by any means but could be a little better. My wife isn't a seafood fan so we grabbed a table around a Hibachi, she opted for the Chicken Hibachi with a side of fried rice. The typical fanfare followed that you'd expect at the Hibachi, the food was cooked in front of us, with flames and a flaming onion and then of course the obligatory toss of food to us like we're dogs. Maybe this is why I never liked Hibachi, my ability to catch something flying at my face is pretty weak, so in this case (like so many times in the past) the slightly warm piece of zucchini bounced off my nose like a wild golf ball. At least it was kept to the side on the hibachi and only warmed, not hot or covered in oil. The fried rice was decent but lacked some flavor (I should've snuck in some MSG), the chicken too was lacking in flavor. However, the noodles and the vegetables were perfect. A great sauce clung to the noodles and the vegetables the right amount of char on them. Very good! Both of our meals came with salad and a soup, clear for my wife and white miso for me. I always have had miso soup after I eat sushi, so mine sat there the entire time until I was done. It was good and as expected, a good mix of seaweed, tofu and mushrooms with the funky flavor of the miso paste. A good way to finish the meal and help aid digestion. The salads, I could leave them, typical iceberg with tomatoes and cucumbers and that dressing that is supposed to be a mixture of ginger and carrot but never quite tastes like it. For my entree I opted for the Sushi and Sashimi combo for one. It was a selection of mixed Nigiri and Sashimi along with a roll and a crab salad. Honestly, I enjoyed the crab salad much more than I thought I would, but it was served atop an imitation crab roll (their Rainbow Roll). I had hoped that since I ordered a platter of raw food, my roll would match, that was disappointing. The rice on the nigiri was perfect and all of the fish was extremely fresh and cut correctly. What was lacking was the variety, only serving salmon, tuna, yellow tail and what I believe was striped bass both as sashimi and nigiri was an easy out. It would've been great had they mixed in something different as a sashimi that I hadn't already had as a nigiri. But again, the quality was good, flavor was good and preparation was good. And I have to remember where I am, looking around at the crowd, I'm sure they're not looking for some adventurous food. The restaurant probably does this to fly through product and maintain freshness. They also have a very good beverage list with a number of different Sake's listed. I simply opted for a carafe of Premium Sake which came warmed and had the ubiquitous fermented rice flavor that I find so addicting. All in all this is a good place to stop for some decent food and great service. I wouldn't go out of my way but if in the area it's a must try. read more

Overall a disappointing experience. Looked really nice at first glance, but when I asked my waiter for a recommendation between two dishes, he literally laughed, then said "those are too different." Feeling dejected, I chose one at random - sesame crusted chicken - and it was exceedingly bland. Real bummer. Took forever to get a check, too. read more

The food and service were incredible. Ooka has the best crispy katsu! The sushi tastes fresh and tender, and ramen is also amazing and layered with flavors. read more

Very pleased with my recent pickup order at Ooka. I got the deluxe sushi entree which I felt was great value for what I got. It comes with a miso soup, salad, and 9 nigiri and about 6 piece of California roll. Everything was fresh and delicious and I'm definitely full from it. I will definitely try dining in! read more

Holy cow. We haven't even gotten half way through our take out today and I have to say this is hands down some of the best sushi I've had in the area in a long time. Big, fresh, delicious cuts of every fish I've tried. Delectable seasoning. Crunch where it's supposed be. Salt where it's supposed to be. A dash of sweet where it's supposed to be. A little spice where it's supposed to be. Fantastic. read more

Don't go here, not much to say is great about this place. Really wish we had a better choice in this food desert in PA, but this aint it. Super rude staff, go somewhere else bros... read more

I have come here many times over the years and have never had such a terrible time! We came on Friday at 6. It was the two of us. We order a trio of nigiri, salad and two rolls. We added a crunchy salmon skin hand roll. Waited almost 40 mins. The roll was terrible! The crispy skin was chopped up and soggy. Not happy to spend 80.00 for a crummy experience. There are a lot of restaurants and Ooka needs to step it up! read more

Always tasty!! I love the shrimp tempura. I often take a pint of their ginger dressing home with me. The lobster dynamite roll never disappoints! I would cross state lines to eat here. read more

The ambience is beautiful and service is perfect. We have had two lunches there in the last month and they were delicious. We both took home what we couldn't finish, to have another meal. I highly recommend Ooka. read more

The food is always excellent, perhaps a little pricey. We're always treated well. The inside is much nicer than the outside.

This place never disappoints. I love that they have poke bowls & ramen on the menu. I highly recommend the pork belly ramen. It's exceptional. Service is always quick & friendly! read more

Ooka is hands down the best Sushi experience in Doylestown - not the cheapest - but the quality of product and service are top tier!

My husband and I stopped in today for lunch. Our waitress was very friendly and gave us some fantastic food recommendations for this time (and next time). Everything was delicious. We had the pork belly appetizer and three different sushi rolls (Land and Sea, Lobster Dynamite, and James Bond rolls). We look forward to coming back for more sushi again and to try the hibachi with our sons as well! read more

Went there for lunch. Ordered a salmon sashimi lunch. I wanted it all salmon. They said they couldn't do that and made me order the dinner portion to get all salmon which is $38 ridiculous. I've always ordered salmon and sashimi all salmon for a slight up charge now they're saying I have to order the dinner portion the manager just Rip me off!!! read more

Favorite restaurant on earth by far. Hibachi NEVER disappoints here. They have the best hibachi that I've ever tried. I wish their prices were a little bit lower, but it's very worth it. I also wish they had hibachi take-out because that would be incredible.. read more

We went to Ooka for take out the first time during the pandemic. Ooka is definitely a better indoor choice. I had peppers for an appetizer and Teriyaki Angus Steak for the main course. I ordered the steak rare, but it came medium rare at best. When I order something rare, I really like it rare. The peppers were good, but not spicy enough for my taste. I understand that the dish is a mixture of spicy and sweet peppers, but it seems that I got all sweet. The main issue that I had though was that I arrived right on time to pick up the meal, and it really hot by the time I got it home, and the drive home is really short. I really enjoy Ooka much more as an indoor Hibachi restaurant. The bottom line is that I may try Ooka again if COVID continues to drag on. It is ok for a change of pace from our usual take out choices. However, Ooka is a much better choice as an indoor dining restaurant. read more

Food was very tasty and expensive It was extremely noisy and hard to hear the people in our party. Ordered fried rice 3.50 per person over the entree price. You also are seated with other guests that are not part of your group read more

Note: I would rate this 3.5 stars. I went to this restaurant for a birthday dinner with a friend. It was around ~5pm on a weekday so there weren't many people around. We mostly ordered specialty rolls for dinner so I cannot comment on the hibachi nor the alcohol selection (though there was a lot). OOKA has a variety of selection of rolls to choose from so there is something for everyone. The rolls weren't bad - I thought they were pretty average. I was more surprised by how little I got vs how much I paid. I honestly did not think the quality of the rolls matched the price. The service was really good. Our server was really friendly and welcoming. And how can I say no to my birthday dessert? It wasn't a memorable dinner to be honest but it's a decent meal. read more

The food was not good, but the service was good. We wanted to order a bunch of stuff, but our waiter kept telling us that we didn't need to order this and that because it was just too much food for us which was kind of strange because we didn't ask for his opinion on what we wanted to order, we just wanted to order what we wanted to order and he was intervening without permission read more

Amazingly creative chefs and high quality fish make for a great combo here. There's lots of items that I've never seen before and most were tasty. The seared at your table Kobe slices was a cool trick. Melt in your mouth beef was easy to cook and delicious. Coming nigiri was excellent. It's a great spot with good service. read more

I don't recommend getting the Hibachi here. The minute we sat down we were extremely rushed by the server - asking us every 3 minutes to order before we even had our jackets off. I asked him politely if he could give us 5 minutes as we hadn't even looked at the menu to which he said we needed to order faster because they had upcoming reservations (we were not late for our reservation by the way). Once we ordered, they rushed through the hibachi as well This honestly felt very transactional and not like an enjoyable Friday evening meal at all. Perhaps the regular dining room is a better experience! read more
