Okaru

OKARU (Roslyn) — personal review I went with a group of three and we did the tasting menu at $195 per person. Overall, it was enjoyable and polished, but slightly overpriced for what you get—more “special night out” pricing than a clear value play. Atmosphere & setting The strongest part of the experience is the space itself. OKARU is set up as a modern Japanese-inspired restaurant with a distinctly calm, design-forward vibe. The room feels intentional—clean lines, warm lighting, and a well-designed, upscale ambience that makes it feel like a destination rather than just another sushi spot. It’s the kind of place that immediately signals “date night / celebration.” Drinks We tried: • Okaru Spritz • Yen Zen • Old Fashioned They were good across the board—balanced, well-made, and easy to dri

We came here to celebrate our anniversary & we were taken care by Natalia, the manager. We had made reservations 3 weeks before coming and it was very packed as it was Saturday night — but Natalia saved the night by being so attentive and getting us seated. Every single staff member was sweet and professional— and the food was absolutely phenomenal. Will be back soon! The wonderful night would not have been possible without Natalia and the team, people like Natalia make a huge difference when it comes to the customers wanting to visit again and again.

I had a great experience at Okaro Roslyn. The food is truly impressive — the pizza tuna was one of my favorites, the sushi is extremely fresh, and the seabass was delicious and had a texture almost like rock shrimp. The standout dish for me was the spicy tuna crispy rice. It’s honestly the best I’ve ever had — the rice is softer than most places, which makes the bite perfect. Definitely a 10/10 dish. The only downside is that the drinks are very expensive, so just keep that in mind. Otherwise, the food and overall experience were excellent. Would 100% come back!

Okaru is an elite establishment featuring a stunning interior with exceptional staff. So many creative and fun options to try from the menu like the Big Eye Tuna Tarts and both the Crispy Spicy Bass and Shrimp bites. My Lamb Chops had great flavor and sides, and both desserts were delicious!

The restaurant itself is quite modern and elegant, the aesthetics here shine. The staff checked us in and brought us to our table with zero wait, I cannot stress how nice and refreshing that is. The hot towels were a nice touch. The drinks came quickly and the appetizers as well. The sashito peppers and the edamame were good and the salad although simple were excellent. The sushi rolls were properly presented and everything tasted fresh. The wait staff was excellent and very attentive. While waiting for the valet the manager personally came outside and reviewed our experience. In all my time, I’ve never experienced that level of attention, very impressed. I would definitely give Okaru a try.
