Oketo Japanese Express is a great place to go for sushi, hibachi, and noodles. The food tastes great and it sparks joy for me!

The food is very good in this little place. I have ate there often,but the last time I was there the restroom was so dirty it grossed me out. I love the food so sorry they are not more careful about being clean.

I live 2 miles north of this place and this is my go to place for last minute meal. For a takeout sushi it will not disappoint. I am not a fan of small places for sushi, but this is an exception. Service is on...the slow side since it’s just a small family place for as busy as it is. The owner always greets me with a smile and asks about my family. It’s the small things as well as good sushi that makes this my regular place.More

Picking up take out sushi and entrees for hubby and I. I am the only one in the dining room waiting. After 10mins watching a little boy running and playing (literally playing) around with a full load in his diaper he proceeds to slip it...off in the middle of the dining room. I was astounded that this was happening before my very eyes. I wasnt sure what I should do or say so I just ignored it. Took our $60 dollar food home and enjoyed it as much as I possibly could..... I don't think we will be back anytime soon.More

What a nice little place. Was running late saw this place and stopped in. It is a little family place. I JUST had their combination fried rice and it was excellent and a very large portion. I need to come back and try the dinner.

I've been looking for a place close to me since irb sushi closed. I ordered take out (they have amazing lunch specials) and I was impressed. Found my new spot to satisfy my sushi craving

Never knew this place existed until my sister told me we should try it! Tucked away in a plaza in the back. Friendly and attentive service, quaint and nice atmosphere and excellent food. We tried a hibachi entree, side of fried rice and a few...sushi rolls, all of which were delicious and a great price! Spicy mayo is a little spicy (for my 3 year olds liking) but all in all good flavors! Will definitely be back!More

It's true! A friend told me about this place. It's hard to find the first time. The food is just as wonderful as your favorite cook-at-your-table hibachi restaurant but half the price! They even have the soup, salad, and sauces. Menu choices are great and...take out is so convenient. They have around 10 or so tables if you want to eat in. No alcohol though. So glad we found this, we eat here about once a week now.More

Was slightly surprised by this hidden gem. Not much on decor but I came for sushi and that's what I had. The 4 of us ordered 6 different items off the menu I apologize that I can not name them but they were all delicious...All 4 of us were happy and we'll feed for $45.00 Only complaint is no alcohol so next time I'll do take out and have beer waiting at condoMore

If you like Japanese food to include Sushi then you should give Oketo a try. We did take out but called ahead with our order. This is our second time eating Oketo food and my wife is an avid fan. The food is very tasty...and is truly Japanese, not Chinese masquerading as Japanese. The staff is very friendly and the food is made fresh for each order. There are tables in the restaurant so if you wanted to eat in you could. The atmosphere is austere so don't expect anything fancy and if you like to have wine or something with your meal, it is not served at the restaurant. When the Coffee Mill & Gift shop are open, there is a door from Oketo into the shop where you could get souvenirs or a fancy coffee drink. Oketo is located a short distance from the main intersection after crossing the intracoastal so easily gotten to by car or taxi. The best things about Oketo are the prices and big selection. What I like least is that they don't deliver.More

Drove by this place several times. Didn't decide to try it until I read some of the reviews stating how good it was. Boy were they right! This place is a hidden gem!

GREAT japanese cuisine and the prices are unbeatable! It is a very small restaurant but does have nice ambiance. We've eaten there and done take out, both ways have been awesome. If you love japanese eats, you'll LOVE this place.

I use to be frequent customer at another sushi restaurant until their food and quality went downhill. I couldn't be happier to find a quaint place like this where not only I'd the food good but the staff is friendly and attentive.

I had an awful experience tonight. I accidentally ordered a Thai tea and thought I ordered a Thai coffee instead. When I received the drink I apologized and said oh my goodness I'm sorry I ordered wrong. They would not correct the bill because I...took a sip. I was eating sushi and had hibachi cooking... I quickly cashed out due to my loss of appetite on how badly they treated me as a patron. I told them they couldnt charge me for the hibachi cause I didn't eat it. A great way to treat patrons during the holidays. It's unfortunate but I won't return.More
