Customer Review Summary
Sushi is what most reviewers return to, with diners calling the rolls delicious and one regular naming it a favourite sushi spot. Close behind are the starters and small plates, including avocado spring rolls, Korean cauliflower, miso aubergine, prawn tempura and baby squid, with mochi and green tea ice cream mentioned for dessert. One reviewer found the dishes unique, and another who usually prefers authentic cuisines still described the food as fresh and credited the effort behind the fusion dishes. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere warm and relaxed, with dimmed lights and music that is not loud in the evening. The one recurring complaint concerns upkeep: a reviewer says the front door has not closed properly for months even though staff know about it, and that some banquettes are ripped. One diner who requested a custom sushi cake for a birthday after speaking with the chef received it delivered at the agreed time, decorated with gold leaf and flowers and accompanied by a sparkler candle.

“I love OKA - the food is delicious and the service is excellent. BUT They have to fix the front door! It won't close properly and has been like this for 6 months +. Staff are aware but nobody can arrange the quick fix. Also some of the banquettes are ripped and need replacing.”

The food was absolutely delicious The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner or a special evening out. The staff were also very friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal.
