Review Summary

Okaiyo Sushi receives generally positive notes for homemade wonton soup, amazing spring rolls and fresh sushi. A large plate ordered for New Year's Eve was good overall, though one type was not as fresh as it could be, and a pickup during a busy period led to a brief wait. On weekdays it seems quieter.View restaurant profile
