I researched which sushi place to celebrate my birthday and I couldn't decide between Sushi Roku or Okada...we ended up going to both but on different nights. We went to Okada on a Saturday evening and made reservations for a party of 7. I was a liittle apprehensive when the person making the reservation wanted a credit card to hold the reservation and was told I would be charged $50pp if we were a no show! Wow! Never heard of that before. I was about to cancel but I was very curious about the restaurant, so I kept my reservation anyway.
We ended up ordering from the prix fix menu at $49pp for 3 course meal and ordering sushi rolls and drinks on top of that. I thought the food was OK...nothing really memorable. I ordered the white sea bass and was hoping it would be as fabulous as the one at Tao, but it was a bit bland and not tasty like Tao. The appetizers were all very good though. The sushi rolls were OK...nothing memorable either. The only reason I give it an add'l star is due to its superb service. Service was exceptional! We all enjoyed our time at Okada and the drinks seemed to help. I really enjoyed the Lychee Martini.
