We are diehard fans of Okini Sushi, since they were located on Pleasant Hill Rd. We always get a Chicken Katsu or Teriyaki Dinner Bento & a roll, or a bowl is Chicken Udon soup. I don't think there's any 'bad' order here - I also love their hot green tea (flavored with toasted rice).
Service is exceptional; this is one of the local places I'd love to see around for decades.

Outstanding Dining Experience at a Family-Owned Japanese Restaurant!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this delightful Japanese restaurant in Pleasant hill and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I highly recommend it to fellow food enthusiasts seeking authentic Japanese cuisine and warm, family-oriented service.
First and foremost, the food was superb. We indulged in a variety of delectable dishes, including the Beef Teriyaki, Fried Calamari, Golden California Roll, and the Bay Bridge Roll. Each dish was prepared to perfection, with flavors that truly transported us to Japan. The Beef Teriyaki was tender and bursting with savory goodness, while the Fried Calamari had a delightful crispness that left us craving for more. The sushi rolls, including the Golden California and the Bay Bridge Roll, were beautifully presented and filled with fresh, high-quality ingredients. It was evident that the chefs and servers take great pride in their craft.
What truly set this restaurant apart was the excellent service. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality. The staff, I think consisted of the family members and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. It was heartwarming to witness the dedication of the entire family in making our visit enjoyable.
Moreover, the ambiance of the restaurant was delightful. The beautiful and well-maintained furniture added a touch of elegance to the dining space. The cleanliness was impeccable, reflecting the high standards upheld by the establishment. It truly enhanced the overall dining experience, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout our meal.
In conclusion, this family-owned Japanese restaurant deserves the highest praise. With its outstanding food, exceptional service, and inviting atmosphere, it offers an unparalleled dining experience. I wholeheartedly recommend trying their Beef Teriyaki, Fried Calamari, and their exquisite sushi rolls. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute gem. I can't wait to return and explore more of their culinary delights!
Thank you to the entire staff and family for an unforgettable evening of delicious food and warm hospitality we will be back.
Very nice staff. Never had to ask for more water or tea. They made our granddaughter feel special by bringing training chopsticks and the Sushi chefs placed a real flower blossom decoration with her meal.
The food is quick and very tasty, with good portion sizes. Resonable prices too. We had Sushi rolls but there's also Udons and combination plates with teriyaki meats and more variety.
There is also a "special" limited lunchtime menu with reduced pricing for a variety of Sushi rolls.
I would recommend Okini Sushi for lunch, dinner or a nice meal for a date.
