One of the more inventive restaurants to splash onto the Russian Hill scene is Okoze, whose tranquil surroundings complement the inventive combinations and presentations of sparklingly fresh fish. Chef Jason Kim arrived from his sushi chef… Read Full Editorial
A Cut Above by CJ4050 via Citysearch on 1/24/2010
I am a "foodie". My wife and I were planning on going to Gary Denko's restaurant, but couldn't get a better seating than 10pm for months, after multiple calls - and I had a fixed weekend flight schedule. So - we punted. I wanted to keep…
Fabulous! by lilstacy1210 via Citysearch on 3/15/2009
I had dinner at Okoze last night and had the best experience. The sushi was the best I have had in a while. The Sushi chefs were great! Very pleasant and enjoyable to watch. There was minimal waiting for a table and the service was…
very good restaurant by Jeannie D via Insider Pages on 8/1/2008
Very pleased with the quality, selection and freshness of the sushi found at the Okoze Sushi restaurant. Small and quaint, food is done to perfection. Pricey, but worth it.
Better than Sushi Groove! by russianhillgirl via Citysearch on 2/18/2008
I live really close to Okoze and I am so happy it opened, Sushi Groove is really yummy too but Okoze's atmosphere is much nicer, the chefs are so cute and nice- definitely did sake bombs with them one night when everyone had…
Fresh Fish by mctavish via Citysearch on 8/3/2007
The Owner at this restaurant is also the sushi chef, I believe he has never taken a day off since the opening and is friendly and warming. Price may be high but it is worth it

Mostly traditional sushi with a few Cali twists. Good sakes. If they say the Aji or Saba is good, order it.
good sushi but overpriced by rk1042 via Citysearch on 1/11/2007
We just moved into the neighborhood and were anxious to try it. The sushi was very good, better than most. Service was immediately prompt but after we were served we received no attention for the remainder of the evening. It wasn't that…
sooooo gooood! by marrkoss via Citysearch on 12/2/2006
As of writing this review, Okoze had a 9.6 overall, and from my perspective that rating is well deserved. I have been to a lot of sushi restaurants, and I can only think of three that I like better (I have been to over 30). Okoze has…
Awesome sushi! by drfstein via Citysearch on 11/18/2006
This is the best place. Feels like an episode of Cheers when you walk in. All locals that totally know the sushi chefs. Fresh food, awesome chefs...what else do you need? ok...kind of pricey but no one complains after they've eaten…
amazing sushi by 02aes via Citysearch on 7/31/2006
it's sad to see that anyone would write a negative review of a sushi restaurant based on portions or price. personally, i've found that when it comes to eating sushi, you usually get what you pay for, and Okoze is actually quite reasonable…
Don't judge a restaurant by its decor... by nvr4get911 via Citysearch on 6/27/2006
We were greeted by the curtesy head bow of the sushi chef and quickly seated by an amicable waitress on a Friday night. We appreciated the ambiance of bamboo covered walls, natural branches and uniques light fixtures. We were less…
Good sushi, but small portions by susanjc102 via Citysearch on 5/12/2006
Before going to this place I researched the ratings here. When you go into the restaurant you are greeted by the sushi chefs and seated promptly. The sushi was fresh and tasted good, but their portions were so small. For the price you…
INCREDIBLE!!!! by erinhouchen via Citysearch on 3/17/2006
this place is truly amazing!
the fish is surprisingly fresh and imported from japan. the owner is open and friendly, always full of suggestions. even for a vegetarian, the dishes are incredible. the most unique and obscure options i…
Elegant Russian Hill sushi spot serves up fresh fish to a stylish neighborhood crowd. by Contributor via Citysearch on 9/1/2005
In Short
An extensive menu offers beautifully plated traditional fare along with smart, modern tweaks on classics. Specialty rolls with quirky, locally inspired names -- like the 49ers (deep-fried asparagus, salmon and lemon…
Great! by rgm via Citysearch on 8/30/2005
The fish is fresh and is of superb quality. All the sushi chefs and waitstaff were Japanese, attentive and friendly. Very warm greeting when you first walk through the door. I spoke to them in Japanese and received complimentary…
Authentic Japanese food, from a Japanese reviewer by laztigger via Citysearch on 8/24/2005
If you're looking for Americanized rolls, this is not your place although it is served there. If you're are true sushi aficionado, and would like authetic sushi that tastes like it does back in Japan, then this is a place for you. The…
The good stuff by curriedrice via Citysearch on 7/12/2005
If you are here for the sushi, ask the waitress or the chef what's special or what's fresh today. Never hurts to ask. Sushi places in Japan do their menu daily based on what's fresh, its only here that customers expect the sushi place to…
not bad, pretty generic neighourhood sushi join by frankmusso via Citysearch on 7/5/2005
ok, so i was pretty hammered when i ate there. to all of the people who said the wakame salad is so good - where has it ever bad? probably the easiest thing to make, costco probably sells it in a huge bag. anyway, good, solid fish,…
Superb by qwerty_2003 via Citysearch on 6/3/2005
Without question, the best sushi place in the bay area.
Unique items (off the menu), great service, and the freshest fish outside of Tokyo - highly recommended.
making an entrance by jennieburnett via Citysearch on 6/2/2005
Not only are you greeted warmly when entering this chic abode the chef decorated himself. But the fish is the freshest in town, the owner makes a trip to the fish market every morning to buy fish for the day. Sit at the bar to recieve…
