Okada is very good and very pricey. So where does this put Okada? Let's find out.
We had a reservation thanks to OpenTable, but it looks like the reservation is more like a suggestion because we waited quite a bit to get our table. Maybe that is a good thing considering how expensive this place is... people willing to wait for food on the upper end of the price scale.
We get seated and order a few drinks followed by:
- oyster (fried) - pretty good
- scallops (yakitori) - not bad
- shiitake (yakitori) - always indifferent to this
- shishito (yakitori) - yummy
- duck (yakitori) - awesome
- short rib (yakitori) - even better
- pork belly (yakitori) - building up to best thing of night
- eryngi (yakitori) - alright
- shrimp (yakitori) - more like jumbo prawns. Very good
- yuzu king crab (yakitori) - easily the best thing of the night
Our waitress was awesome and quite friendly. After playing guessing game of her ethinicty, we came to find out she is Ukrainian. Awesome! She was the best! The food was great but after spending a coupe of bills, it's hard to give this place te 5 stars the food reflects. Factoring everything in, Okada squeaks by with 4 stars.
