    Okini is a small laid back restaurant with amazing food and services. Been there several times and never been disappointed other than last night due to their salmon soba being sold out.

    Flavors great with all the dishes that we ordered. Portion size could be better. 32$ for a small piece of salmon on top of soba noodles was a bit much for an appetizer. Overall this would be my 3rd time coming to Okini. Portion size was definitely bigger the first time we visited.

    Great food and great service. One of the owners kept checking on us and chatting with us, which was nice. All the food and drinks we had were excellent, although we weren’t fans of the shizo wrap bite sized appies. Will definitely go back again.

    Outstanding venue, service and food. Especially liked the carpaccio(!) and also the salmon tartare, unagi. Hayashi beef, pork chop and Wagyu bolognese mains were all fantastic. So happy to see a place like this on West 57th!
