| - I'd love to give this place 4 or 5 stars, however the consistency of service and food quality are all over the place. I've been to Okada about a dozen times, a few were amazing, and a few were on the opposite side of the spectrum. The constant issue I have with Okada is the wait staff. There are about 2 servers who are absolutely amazing, the rest belong at Applebees. At this type of restaurant, I don't want Applebees service.
I really dig the decor here, the openness of the dining room, and the view is wonderful. The seating can be a bit close, a couple of times my wife and I were sat next to the waterfall and the couple next to us were sitting at the same table, as if we were together, which is not cool. The tables were seperated by an inch, no lie. The teppanyaki area is pretty nice too, although a bit plain.
The food can be great or mediocre, just depends on the choice. I've had great luck with dishes such as the duck salad, foie gras and eel, and the sushi/sashimi. The steak has always been overpriced, and most of the entries seem like tapas plates.
It's a great place to take clients and friends, though you pay a premium, it is the strip and the Wynn. Good sake choice though, again extremely overpriced.
I would recommend that if you come here, treat the menu as a tapas bar. Select a bunch of plates for the table and share. The teppanyaki is actually quite a good deal, even though the chefs spoke cantonese, I won't hold that against them. ;]
It's definitely worth a shot, I'd recommend sitting at the sushi counter for better service and conversation.
