Not so OK(i)s.
I've been to Oki's a number of times over the last 10 years but after my last meal there I think that's it unless they fix things. It's sad that it was at one point the best Japanese Steakhouse in
R.I.
Walking into Oki's it was dirty, dark and dismal. We ordered hibachi and everything was dirty. The lighting is horrible, I think they may have had someone from the Cadillac Lounge set it up for them.
The hibachi had a big patch of food (rice I think) from the last group still stuck in the middle of the grill. Even the plates had a sheen of grease from the grill and when one of our party asked for a clean plate the waitress swapped it with another grease covered plate from the empty seat next to me. They didn't bother to even get the water marks off of the utensils.
The food was mostly average: I ordered the Chicken and Scallop combination plate and although the Scallops were well cooked the chef managed to divide the it between 3 people by giving one person over 50% of it. He also managed to overcook the chicken and while doing so consistently splattered me with grease from the grill.
The one thing that I have to say I was impressed by was the mustard sauce, it's one of the best I've ever had but didn't make up for the rest of the meal. To top it off the cost of a meal is very expensive and I would expect a much better meal for the over $30 a person we paid.…
REVOLTING!. My husband and I went to Oki because I bought a Groupon… The first impression was – shabby décor, plastic dishes on the tables, very dark – later I found out that there was a reason – they do not want us to see the dirt or poor quality of food. I It looks like they do not like Groupon users very much – starting with the host (or the owner?) who met us at the door and kind of pointed to the group of tables – “pick any table”, to the not very friendly waitress who, I felt was irritated by our mere presence . When we ordered hot tea vs. alcoholic beverage she was practically pissed, my miso soup was inedible - extremely salty – I finished mine and my husband’s tea in one gulp, could not get a refill and there was no water on the table. The futomaki did not taste or look like any futomaki I’ve ever tasted –disgusting and was missing some key ingredients of futomaki, the rest of my sushi ( and I use this term loosely) needed a close inspection from the Department of Health, I brought it home to my cats – they were not interested . My husband’s $26 steak was good, but small – we had to stop at TacoBell on the way home – we were hungry and thirsty after spending $72. It’s been 2 month since out visit and I’m still fuming…I will never go there again!…
Love it every time!.
My boyfriend and I visit Oki's all the time. The staff is wonderfull and so is the service! We eat both sushi and hibachi. I love the salad, soup and the sauce is the best.
The bar area is great but I do admit the hibachi area needs upgrading. I personally love the fact they are not located in providence. Parking is easier and its right off the highway. I also go with groups from work and have never been disappointed. We have also been to many other hibachi/sushi places in RI and this is def one of my favorite!
I would recommend this resaurant to anyone!…
Review. I have to say it could use a facelift but the food was excellent. I would go back more often but a little pricey for an every weekend kind of place to eat out at
Oki has gone downhill and very dirty.
I have been going to Oki for over 30 years. I went last week and was disappointed. It is very difficult to get past how dirty it is. As your walking on the tile floor or standing there waiting, the
dirt is just caked on and is disgusting. The hibachi area is the same. The keep it very dark for a reason. Our other disappointment is that the prices have gone up and the portions have gone down. For instance they cut way down on the vegatables. How much can zuchini be.
On a positive note, the ginger dressing for the salad and sauce is fantastic!! They just really need to clean.…
