Hands down the best restaurant experience that I had ALL year as this restaurant was on our bucket list since moving to the area recently. The atmosphere sets the tone for your dining experience. You will receive fast, knowledgeable and courteous service. Our waiter, Harry, provided outstanding insight into meal options as he knows how to pair menu choices. We started with miso soup and mushroom toban. Both were flavorful (pro tip get accidental rice for the mushroom toban). Next we had duck sous-vide which was cooked and seasoned well. I was nervous about the mustard sauce however it complimented the duck well. We had the salmon sampler, seared barramundi and bass on bass. All of these items were AMAZING. The flavor profile of the meal increased with each selection. We concluded with beignets and chocolate cake. Needless say our taste buds were dancing and our bellies were completely satisfied. read more

The appetizers had to have been pre made and didn't taste fresh but they were still good. House salad was really just lettuce a few tomatoes overly dressed and drenched and the tempura appetizer, popcorn shrimp and pork gyozas had that chain restaurant flavor feel to it. the specialty rolls however were delicious, full of flavor and gorgeous. i recommend asking for one to be wrapped in cucumber it was very good. The desserts were also, like the appetizers just very pre made chain type of food. They were good desserts sure, just underwhelming and boring. I gotta say tho their whipped cream is strangely different and delicious! As for the service that was not good. There was a long wait of people but we had a reservation and got sat within 3 minutes. hostesses definitely were confused and could have used some help. The atmosphere is lovely and it's such a beautifully designed restaurant. It took around 15 minutes before we even got greeted by our server and he just kept going round to other tables after taking our order instead of immediately putting it into the computer. After her greeted us we ordered drinks and he came back without drinks asking for our appetizer order so we put that in and it came out 5 minutes later... we still had no drinks on our table and appetizers came out first... not great. food runners just brought everything out and no one ever really checked to ask if everything was good. took a long time to get appetizer olates removed and even longer to longer to get our servers attention to order rolls. eventually we ordered and it took 25+ minutes for food to come out. The rolls were good yes but we were over it by then. A century later after hunting someone down we were able to order dessert and again took a while to come out and took even longer to get the check. the server was nice but there was only like 2 servers on a Saturday night so i think if they had more servers the whole meal would have been great. read more

My first time at the Montgomerville Ooka - and I had the Chirashi bowl ($28) with about 7 types of fish and came with miso soup and salad. Good service and above average sushi. Delicious but not mind-blowing. read more

Our server Harry was such a sweet guy. You can tell he has strong work ethic! Ooka is lucky to have him.

Our waiter acted like he didn't like us. He failed to bring the drinks we ordered. He also failed to bring us soy sauce. He did not check on us. We had to flag him down to get the drinks and sauce. I had ordered extra lemon with my drink, I didn't get that either when he finally brought our drinks. I will mot be coming back to this Ooka. We will go to Doylestown or Willow Grove instead. read more

Service was great but definitely come if you want a normal portion size of meat for an adult. Jk. It was meant for rabbits. How do you serve an adult these little cubes of steak as a portion. Thought they messed up the order, guess I just messed up coming here instead of mizu. read more

OOKA - Montgomeryville - Japanese Near Me - Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania

Montgomeryville. Not great sushi. Service was good but food is fair and that is a deal breaker. Not returning.

There are two major things at this location: the hibachi grill and regular seating. We did the hibachi grill this visit. It is very expensive for not a lot of food. The chef though was really good - friendly and did a good job cooking. Unfortunately the food just wasn't that great. Service was slow and below average. read more

Love this place! It's a good date spot, but I've also taken my teenaged children there. You can dress however you want and not feel out of place, some are casual while others may be a bit dressier. I enjoy the dinner when it's more crowded, but my favorite time to go is during lunch hours. You can't beat the price, and if you're lucky, you'll be the only person there, feeling like you're getting the vip treatment with you own cooking demonstration. A lunch must-try is the bento box! The food is consistently delicious! read more

Service was excellent and all of the food was delicious. The hibachi chicken and filet mignon combo was out of control and I got two helpings of fried rice and could have gone for a third! The atmosphere is very relaxed too so it isn't overstimulating! Highly recommended and if you want cheaper prices go for lunch! read more

This had to be one of the worst experiences I had at a hibachi restaurant. The chef was rushing so much that he offered no saki to either the adults or baby saki to my 11 year old son, did nothing fun such as the egg roll or heart thumping and kept trying to rush us out. Also the food was barely edible. Plus they originally said we could come at 5;00 and then called an hour later saying we had to come at 4;15. The portion size was much less than anywhere I have been to. I usually cannot finish it but tonight I could. Save your money and go someplace else for hibachi. read more

Really disappointed to leave this review because yes the food was amazing! However, if you have allergies please be extremely cautious because I had a horrible experience. Upon arriving, I told the waiter that I have a severe nut allergy (as a lot of their rolls have pistachios, etc.) He was very sincere when he told me that he notified the chefs and they would be very cautious with my food & cross contamination which was great! ... until it wasn't. About 10 min after leaving the restaurant I went into anaphylactic shock, passed out, my boyfriend had to call an ambulance, and I spent the night in the hospital. So please be very careful with allergies here, clearly I got cross contaminated and the doctors told me if I waited any longer I would have died. read more

Mathew is amazing! He gave me great recommendations and I highly recommend this place! Thank you Matt again! read more

Love Ooka, been going to all 3 of their locations since I was a kid. I go more for the sushi and rarely the hibachi but their sushi is very good. They have really good service and the ambiance is very nice. A little pricey but highly recommend if you want to dress up and go out to a nice sushi dinner read more

It's always an excellent night out at this place. Have been here several times and had the teriyaki steak tips with sobo noodles (I think they were sobo) this most recent time and it was amazing. I'm not a big seafood guy, but my wife is and she loves the sushi at Ooka. This is a great date spot; very comfortable with nice decor. Try to request Harry as your server. Everybody is good here, but he is hands down the best. He makes you feel like you are the only table he has that day. Excellent, friendly service and great recommendations. read more

Party of two on wed lunch dined in, place was luxurious and spacious Ive heard of reputation of this place but then food... $4 of salad and $14 seafood soup looked like those soup and salad that come out as side dish even less quality,, special rolls are nothing ordinary , one roll that was recommended was $25 totally not worth it read more

Visited Ooka for a late lunch one day, and was not disappointed. The restaurant had a very nice ambience. The staff was friendly and attentive. The pineapple shrimp served on a hot stone with the table favorite. The teriyaki New York strip steak was also delicious. But everything we tried was really good. I definitely visit OOKA again. read more

Lunch time visit after searching decent Sushi place. Clean and large inside with Hibachi place in the other side of space. Separating regular dining and Hibacji dining area is a good thing. Selected Sushi lunch set from the menu. Miso soup and small salad got served prior to Sushi plate. 7 pieces of Sushi and California roll. Very decent Sushi, but wish all 7 pieces were different as 2 pieces of Salmon Sushi were there. Price felt right about as everything got more after COVID. I will try their dinner Sushi when I get a chance. read more

Fresh sushi. Contemporary decor. Attentive and pleasant service. Ooka is an excellent sushi restaurant, which features a full bar, sushi bar, plenty of booths and banquets. The menu offers many options. I ordered the spicy tuna roll, a salmon roll, AC an eel and cucumber roll, and Montgomery specialty roll. Everything was delicious. If you're in the area, this is the place to go for sushi. I highly recommend. read more

My niece and brother-in-law never had hibachi before, so we knew we needed to take them when she came to visit. Since we are still relatively new to the area, my husband asked his boss for recommendations, and he recommended Ooka. We were not disappointed. The service is top notch and the food was plentiful. I'm glad we came hungry! The restaurant was beautifully decorated and clean. I look forward to returning. read more

I'm surprised the reviews for this restaurant are not higher! I've eaten here several times and I can confidently say it's the best Japanese food I've ever had. Everything is so fresh. The Chilean sea bass appetizer special is amazing. The steak yaki noodles are my favorite. Great selection of wines and saki. I'm not usually a big fan of Asian food or seafood but I love this restaurant. read more

Service is abysmal at this location. First time coming here in a few years and I have no reason to come back any time soon. The fun began when getting seated at the habachi table. The hostess rudely pointed at the table, so we seated ourselves at the end of the counter (like one would normally do)...when she came back she yelled at us that we needed to move because the "other" family needed to sit in our seats (two families with a center seat empty). The two families laughed about the absurdity of the situation, but I let it pass. Next bit of fun didn't involve me directly, but the other family. The mother ordered a martini, but when it came out it was almost all olive juice. She sent back the first one, only to get the second one at room temp. I'm not a martini drinker, but even I know it should be chilled. She scooped out ice from the water glass (she also had an issue with the bartender not wanting to move the bar tab to table check). Shame on you Ooka. Next comes the waiter. Slow to order (i mean 30 minutes slow) and didn't bring the right drink order (also wrote down wrong meat temp, which the cook was able to catch in the read back). Asked for chop sticks, but had to get up and get them ourselves (10 year old really wanted them). He took away the salad my wife was eating (half was left). She literally still had the fork in her hand. Drink went empty with no refills until the end of dinner (before the check). The saving grace is the chef...the main star of the show. But they are usually pretty good so he only saved them one star Management should be ashamed of the waiter and bartender...it was running joke at our table. Neither family will be returning to this location. I actually wrote this review in the restaurant...which should show you the level of frustration I have with this place. read more

I've been going here for 10 years and have never had a bad meal. The servers are always great, the interior is warm, and the food is delicious. The sushi is fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend the Mushroom Toban and Pork Belly Buns. The miso soup is also warm and wonderful. Great hibachi, too! read more

Food and service always amazing This restaurant is always a go to for me and my family. read more

Underwhelming. Small bar . Not that great sushi. It does have a nice vibe from the outside just not so much inside. We were not impressed. The service was fine. Not sure we'd return. read more

Not the biggest fan of their sushi but loved the noodles, veggies, and that they had a brown rice option instead of fried rice! The flourless chocolate cake was BEAUTIFUL and so yummy. Their lychee mocktail was good, didn't even make me believe I was at a professional lunch date. Service was pretty quick and helpful. Ooka has cool modern vibes! I really liked it. Definitely good for a family dinner or even a date night. read more

First time trying it today and pretty disappointed. We were a party of five. The table that was given to us was shaking when we sat down, soy sauce was spilled. Our sushi did not taste fresh, it was hard and tasteless. I would also recommend the restaurant to close it for a day, and have a very good cleaning to clean off all the dust from the lamp shades and thoroughly clean the bathroom floors and tiles. I also watched someone clean off the tables without sanitizing them. read more

We had reservations for hibachi but were not seated until 30 minutes after we arrived. Our waitress wasn't friendly at all and our order was incorrect. The chef didn't begin cooking until an hour after our initial reservation. I love supporting local businesses but the service needs to be improved. The food and drinks were good. read more

There is a NOTICEABLE Nat/Fruit fly INFESTATION. Food is great, the place is beautiful and the staff is amazing, but no matter where I sit, there are ALWAYS Nats flying around me. Its not fun when you have to swat them away while your eating. I also found a dead nat in the soy sauce holder. Please Ooka get it together this has been an on going problem for years now. read more

Birthday celebration was great. Our granddaughter is a toddler and she loved the hibachi! We enjoyed ourselves and the food was good! read more

The food was good, the miso soup was the best I ever had. My girlfriend really liked the sushi. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I felt like the waiter was really pushy and trying to upsell us on appetizers and sides--which is okay, but it is annoying when it is obvious. I wanted hibachi, but apparently there are different sections which we didn't know about. I wanted to substitute my white rice for noodles, but they couldn't do that and wanted me to purchase noodles as an extra side. Regardless, it is a quality restaurant as long as you are okay and aware of the above. read more

Perfect place for a birthday dinner and special events. So this is wifeys birthday, a Wednesday night and the place was full and festive. The service was very good and they were hustling. We sat around the Hibachi which was clean and neat. Chef does his thing, see video. He might need to tighten up his throws a bit as he missed my big mouth twice. No worries, the food was great, pics attached. You will shoot a few hundred here, but well spent. 4 stars. read more

Super fresh & creative menu. We ate everything up, it was great. We've ordered takeout & have eaten on site. The restaurant itself isn't very big but the atmosphere is nice, good vibe. I appreciate they keep the hibachi experience in a separate room. Not everyone wants to listen to the clanging of metal & people loudly exclaiming whenever someone catches a flying shrimp with their mouth. The James Bond roll & baked mussels are off the chain! The soba noodles with broth are also delicious. Albeit pricey, I still highly recommend. read more

Food was mediocre. The rolls become progressively shorter each time we ate there. Very long wait time which didn't help the experience.

I've waited until after a 2nd visit to review since I really wanted to give this place a chance. The first time around , I wasn't impressed with their sushi roll menu choices. Very basic all around from selection to presentation to taste. The sushi was "mushy" during both of my visits ( you'll know the difference once you have fresh sushi) and their was nothing distinct about it. Then onto the hibachi. We were crammed in along a back wall (the room is narrow) . The presentation during both visits was just ok. The chef seemed bored of the routine and did nothing extraordinary to make it exciting for the diners. I was excited to see scallops on the hibachi menu , but again was disappointed by the bland flavor and the skimpy portions . Very basic and chain-y food. Much better and fresher sushi in the area and by taking a little drive , a way better hibachi experience elsewhere. read more
