    7 of us ladies had a Holiday Birthday Girls Night Out & not only was our food delicious, we had fabulous service. Okura went over & above by bringing out 4 birthday desserts at no extra cost to us.

    Well trained Sushi Chefs, fresh seafood product, excellent service and ambiance. I enjoyed this restaurant. Admittedly it is a little more expensive but I’d rather have quality sushi. Also very much enjoyed the Asian Pear salad (big enough to share.)

    We love this place! The ambiance is great with a beautiful tree in the center. We are partial to the sushi roles and none disappoint. The garlic soy edamame is addicting and their gin and tonic is like none other.

    The food is very expensive and it use to be worth it. Quality of the Sushi there now is average at best and definitely not worth the price! It's a shame as it was our favorite place.

    Unfortunately the overall experience was just average! Lots of details can be cleaned up by management. Cocktails overpriced for cafe service/style. For example, sake served in an “old fashion” glass, service staff not experienced to handle customers constructive type criticism nor proactive for a good solution. Lots of potential and lots of work needed!!

    We went in for our friends birthday and had excellent service from Bianka! The restaurant had an inviting and seductive ambience that matched the food selection perfectly. The food was outstandingly well balanced and presented in a manner that satisfied all senses. Meanwhile, the service we received from start to finish( including hostess, server assistant, management, etc) was phenomenal and definitely warrants a return visit. Thank you! See you again soon!

    Unmatched in the desert for high-quality/excellent Sushi. It's pricey, but it's the very best, and when it comes to Sushi - freshness and quality are non-negotiable and worth paying for.

    We had a reservation and asked for a high top in the notes after selecting a table in the dining room. We were seated in the bar rather than the high tops along the windows. We then asked to be seated at a regular table in the dining room and the hostess wouldn’t budge. It was disappointing.

    The mouse level inside is deafening, with the exception of sitting at the bar. Our reservation was at 5:45, we were served drinks fairly quickly and appetizers slower than usual. However our main dinner selections were not served until 7:15!! We sat over an empty table well OVER 1/2 hour. We’ve eaten here for years; will write this experience off as “Opening Season Training Pains”. Will try again, hoping this isn’t the new service modus operandi.

    They stuck my husband in the dark Banquest room at 5:15 pm. Then a party of 12 or more softball team players came in and another party of at least 8. My Miso soup was luke warm, had to ask for rice wine vinegar for the cucumber salad it tasted like it didn't have any on it. The california roll has been better in the past.My husband ordered the Sampler with 12 pieces and when they delivered it, it smelt like stinky old fish. The shrimp was mushy. He only ate 6 pieces. My husband doesn't want to go back. Its expensive and the food has gone down hill. Once the waiter waited on us he was preoccupied with the large groups. Never asked if we wanted another drink or desert or anything else. The helper staff was nice enough.We were terribly disappointed. I think we will look for another sushi place to eat at in the future. What a shame, there are tons of good places to eat in the desert and this was beyond disappointing, we don't mind spending top dollar if the food and service is good. But when its not good, wont go back.

    We hadn’t been for a few years but WOW! What a difference! The service was terrific, the food- everything was well prepared & presented beautifully. From rolls to tempura to a Bento box & of course potstickers & edamame (hot with garlic & soy - save that delicious sauce)! We will definitely be back!!

    Overall a good experience celebrating my birthday. Except for a table of 8 who acted like 4 year olds that got seated close to us at the end of us finishing our nice dinner. Mickey our waiter was fantastic in handling things along with Lynda as she apologized for the inconvenience from the other table. We love the food and ambiance so we will definitely return.

    The restaurant was beautiful, and the food was great. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. The only downside we had was when we were greeted by the host. She was extremely rude although we had a reservation she didn’t even verbally communicate. She just started walking off, put the menus on the table and walked off. It’s too bad you can have a beautiful restaurant great food and great service, but the first person you meet sets the tone

    This is hands down one of my favorite Restaurants. So, of course I had to come here for my birthday. I did put on the reservation that it was my birthday and not one person asked or acknowledged my birthday. Usually even the hostesses acknowledge and the server asks if I would like to use my discount. Food was amazing the server was very nice. Just a little disappointed.
