    We had a dinner to celebrate a birthday, and selected the family tasting menu. The service was prompt and attentive, and the food was excellent. Every course was really delicious. The oysters were AMAZING, as was the hamachi crudo.

    Chef Lo was amazing! The omakase for 4 with add ons was such a perfect experience. It was fun, engaging, on top of meticulously well thought out flavor profiles highlighting each piece. The back of house and the front of house was so communicative to each other and it made the experience even more memorable. Would definitely recommend this for anyone new or experienced to Okaeri’s omakase seating.

    Absolutely phenomenal flavors! Ambience both inside and outside (while quite different) is wonderful. The staff is great, too. My only 4 star was it was very busy so we were not able to order more than one drink before we had finished our whole meal. But don’t let that deter you! This food must be tasted.
