1209 16th St E, Owen Sound, ON L4K 1Z4, Canada
Very yummy food here!! Only gave 4 stars because the service could be better. The staff didn’t check in on our table and we had to go out of our way to ask for water and napkins. The staff didn’t really talk much either and didn’t seem overly friendly. The restaurant had a calm atmosphere which I did enjoy
Visiting friends and family and wanted some sushi on the way home, so landed on Okinawa Sushi. Unfortunately, it was not our favourite experience. The food quality was quite low for the price point. - Maki had too much rice, and lacked the balance you're looking for - Salmon sushi was over-cured with vinegar, and had a strong taste of it - Some grains of rice were not cooked properly and crunchy - soups (miso and, hot and sour) lacked the depth we wanted and felt diluted - kitchen foods (chicken skewers and a few others) just lacked in flavour, and were over cooked Would not recommend, but I'm not sure of the other options in Owen Sound. We wouldn't come back, and would travel further for better sushi.
Place was empty, took forever to get our order and all the food was gross. Couldn't eat most of it and they still charged 70.00 for our 2 person lunch. The salmon was warm and tasted gross, I couldn't eat anything after that.
Was suprised to the size of take out maki rolls🥰huge and heavy Thanks for making them worth every penny😋😋
The BEST sushi place in Owen Sound or in the area in general. When I say best I really mean best. Fresh shrimp tempura, homemade wonton soup, perfect bite sized sushi rolls where it's not 3 bites for just 1 piece. The salmon sashimi is given in fresh and full cut portions sizes. If you're a salmon lover, come to this location it won't disappoint. Pricing for the food is worth it and the service was friendly and fast, cant get any better than that!
The best sushi in the area. Such a large selection, very kind and welcoming staff. I come here at least once a month and I have never had a poor experience ever. Can't wait to come back!
I absolutely LOVE this place! You pick different items from the menu that come in small portions. It's ALL YOU CAN EAT! What a great way to try new things. The staff are always amazing. The food is Technically Amazing! This is our Go To spot in Owen Sound. The Saki(spelling is probably wrong haha) is delicious ans a great addition to the meal. They also have a 'meal Card' so that you can earn a free dinner. I always forget to use my card though! So yummy. Highly recommend! AAA+++ GREAT place for couples or family or a big get together. Sushi. Sashimi. Saki. 🍣 Prepare to be so full and satisfied by the time you walk out the door! 😋
Okinawa Sushi, situated in Owen Sound, Ontario, undoubtedly stands out as the premier destination for sushi enthusiasts. This expansive restaurant offers ample space, creating a comfortable environment for patrons to indulge in their culinary delights. The staff embodies a remarkable sense of hospitality, taking the time to guide diners through the diverse menu options, ensuring an informed and enjoyable dining experience. What truly sets Okinawa Sushi apart is its commitment to catering to various dietary needs. The abundance of gluten-free choices is a true delight for those with dietary restrictions, while the extensive array of vegetarian options showcases the restaurant's dedication to inclusivity. The swiftness of the service further contributes to the overall positive dining experience. The sushi chef's evident passion for his craft adds a special touch, as evidenced by the meticulous preparation of the maki rolls. These rolls, while impressive in their taste and presentation, sometimes tend to be a tad larger than desired. The option to order smaller quantities, say 4 rolls instead of the standard 6 or 8, would not only minimize wastage but also provide patrons with a more customizable dining experience. The excellence of Okinawa Sushi extends beyond just sushi. The beef and chicken dishes on the menu have garnered praise, showcasing the restaurant's versatility and skill in preparing a range of delectable offerings. Impressively, even the Chinese dishes hold their own in terms of flavor and execution. Such a remarkable dining establishment warrants return visits, and the promise to revisit Okinawa Sushi upon returning to Owen Sound is a testament to the memorable experience it offers. Considering the quality and variety of dishes served, the prices are undoubtedly reasonable. This extends to both the meal prices and the well-priced drinks, making Okinawa Sushi a destination that not only delights the palate but also respects the patrons' wallets.
Salmon n beef are not in good quality.
Paid 40 dollars to feel like crap the next day. Food was alright. Some chicken was hard and inedible
Very bad experience. Staff was not very friendly at all and the food was just overall not good. Bland and off putting.
Overpriced, poorly designed menu with no clear pricing, but food is good
I don t know what it was that I ate but after eating it it felt like my stomach was going to tear apart and I could barely walk because of the pain, I don t know if it was food poisoning or something, however good prices, but I m still never going again
Quick and dirty sushi fix but way way overpriced for quality of food. Only reason I go here is because the one downtown has no parking.
Worst staff not helpful at all
The most recommended is all you can eat. The price is reasonable and the food quality matches the price. The only flaw is that there were missing orders when the food was served.
Always get takeout sushi for lunch, so fresh! Sometimes takes a little while to get made but worth it. Can t wait to try the AYCE
Best sushi around
Washroom needs some extra attention. Dust/grease on the dryer, no paper towels and the sink needed to be cleaned. Any one thing not a big deal but together......
Not good experience here, Sashimi not very fresh, tuna smells sour, the shellfish looks not great, my friends and I got stomachache after had it, delayed our traveling plan. We told the server, but she was quite reluctant to take away the Sashimi that not fresh
The food was really good, but the wait staff seem to be lacking in personality and general good manners/vibes
I ve been here a few times and never disappointed by the food and service. Higher quality fish, quick turn around and fresh ingredients every time. It saddens me how empty this restaurant can be at times especially on a busy street in Owen Sound. Highly recommend coming to Okinawa if you re in town for an AYCE sushi experience Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and lactose free options
Pretty good AYCE asian restaurant. Humongous variety.
Sushi was ok but nothing special All you can eat but no way could I eat enough to justify the exorbitant cost of a meal here Will not return Food : 3/5
Pleasant staff, pleasant atmosphere, extensive menu with photos, all you can eat 5 star sushi.
Been to many sushi places all over southern Ontario. This one is may favourite!! Food selection is excellent, staff are friendly and quick to bring food. Highly recommend
Very good restaurant! And unexpected big portions!!!
Consistently good food. Today was perfectionism Excellent food. Everything I ordered Food
Wasnt bad....first eating there....might try it again...one of these days
Keep track of your orders they cant remember everything for you! All you can eat be specific that you came for all you can eat prices will add up and fast! They are way to delicious to not rack up a heavy price! Super delicious food fresh everytime! Kid-friendliness: They got rice roll options and canadian food choices for you and your kids as well as fresh sushi Wheelchair accessibility: No heavy curb and should be enough room for a wheelchair
Great place. Been there 3 times now. Great food. There is a language barrier, but not hard to overcome. People working there are very pleasant. Will be back!
Sashimi and sushi are excellent! Always my go to when I stay in Owen Sound.
Enough said.
Youre not coming to this restaurant. The staff is always so friendly and the food is always amazing. They do a great job on the presentation and always have high quality portions
Dirty and food mediocre at best $160 for 4 people with 3 fountain drinks and 1 water on a weeknight.That is outrageous. Wont be back.If you look at the ingredients that are used to make these dishes it adds up to ripoff.The menus are almost impossible to read.
Over priced, warm food for what they did bring. I placed one small order and didnt even get everything. Was just really disappointing.
Fantastic food and service!
The coconut shrimp is my friend s favourite dish. We meet there regularly and it s always great food, quiet atmosphere and efficient service. I love it
I love eating here but the service is not perfect. The all you can eat applies to sushi and their sushi is amazing. Rolls are huge and delicious. Mostly everything we have ever ordered is delicious. The price has gone up a lot though since we first went, which is a bummer overall. My one complaint is that they bring out food randomly and sometimes combine random dishes, despite them being on different tickets. For example, I ordered tofu and my mom ordered crab, and both were brought out in the same basket even though we wrote seperate tickets. Mixing dishes in general is annoying but its even more annoying to mix vegetarian and meat items. They also dont speak very good English and seem to have a zero tolerance policy for what you order. My mom writes fast and has more scrawly writing and they read a 6 as a 0 and brought out something she didnt want. They brought over her order slip and basically implied she was wrong and that we had to eat it or be charged per their not finishing policy, which is super annoying and definitely ruined the meal that day feeling forced to eat something we didnt want.
Great food at a good price.
Honestly the best place Ive been to. Ive been going here for a while and have never had a bad experience. I will continue to go here for the foreseeable future. Vegetarian options: There are loads of options for all diets
Always so good!
Tons of options to choose from, amazing service, and just a really nice restaurant. Would 100% suggest to anyone.
Great sushi
Its a nice place to have dinner but lunch not so much as they only have certain things that you can have at lunch compared to dinner.
great menu super yummy sushi Vegetarian options: a lot of veggie options
I have eaten here many times and i went back last Friday and got food poisoning so i called them so that they knew and they very rude and kept saying it wasnt them and then just started to ignore me till i hung up. Very disappointed
Loved it, had great veggie options with the avocado pizza, broccoli rolls, and other veggie rolls. Everything was great. Vegetarian options: More choices than most sushi places, definitely a good choice
Food is nice, as good as you can get in OS. Overall the service is great. Food is fresh. The place is clean. Food is expensive though. Decor and ambiance is nice. Food
It was 930 and we werent able to dine in. Not happy.
Please do not order all you can eat. I did that mistake and we waited 55 minutes.
We waited for 1.20 hours and not all of our food came to us not good service
Always love coming here! Delicious, great service and worth every cent! Vegetarian options: Have things like avocado cucumber rolls, sweet potato rolls, tempura mushrooms Food : 5/5 |
Food was ok and service was friendly. The restaurant is not clean though. Menus were dirty and sticky, bathrooms are disgusting. Surprised we did not get sick but I won t chance it again. If they have the place a regular thorough clean it might be more appealing to a wider range of clientele.
Great all-you-can-eat option. Its our go-to sushi option when we visit Owen Sound!
Probably the dirtiest bathrooms youll ever see in your life. However, the food is worth it if you dont need to go potty the entire time youre there. Food
You need to allocate yourself enough time and stomach room when you come here because youre going to need it. We always do small orders of 4 to 6 items but place up to 10 orders total. They have something for everyone here.
good taste and nice place to dine in
I recently had the pleasure to eat at Okinawa Sushi with a friend visiting, and I have to say, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the staff went above and beyond. The food blown us away by the delicious sushi. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great fresh dining experience.
The food was excellent! Service was amazing. I definitely stuffed myself. Lol
My friend took me here for my birthday to sit in, and we loved it. The whole experience was lovely. My baby ate bits of rice, fries, and salmon. If you have littles or a picky significant other, there are some great menu options. I will 100% be bringing my family here again sometime. Vegetarian options: Im not vegetarian but noticed they have options for those who dont eat meat. Kid-friendliness: They have options like teriyaki salmon which was good for my 8 month old. I asked for a booster seat, but on the way out realized they had high chairs.
Restaurant was nice( modern) Well laid out Food came quick I had tempura bento box it was well prepared My wife had the dynamite roll which had really nice presentation Would eat again here
Wife Ordered a pad Thai and spring rolls for take out evening of 3 June, she woke up in the middle of the night vomiting violently with a horrible stomach ache. Couldnt hold water down. It was the only thing she ate that day. Thought we had to bring her to the hospital. Small town sushi comes with a disclaimer....enjoy at your own risk. Owen Sound is notorious for having their sushi restaurants shut down because of instances such as these and worse. My recomendation is you stay away from all sushi restaurants in small towns. Had a similar experience with Yummy Yummy as well
The sushi here is excellent! We had a family member from the GTA go with us and the food here was as good (if not better) than sushi restaurants in the GTA. I cant wait to go back.
The place looks nice, but I couldn t eat there because I m coeliac and they don t have gluten-free soy sauce
Best sushi in Owen Sound. Always fresh, and tempura is warm when served unlike other places in OS.
Normally I love this place, but they missed the cream cheese in the salmon roll and the dragon roll is 90% cucumber. For $46 it just is super disappointing
Very good sushi place in Owen sound. Vegetarian options: Veg sushi set Food : 5/5 |
Very fast and tasty, with all you can eat option you can try literally everything
Only complaint is that the cleanliness is more of a day to day change. Besides that I have tried about 80% of the menu without any issues. A lot of the lower star reviews is that they don t have gluten-free options for the soy-sauce or food poisoning cases. From people I know food poisoning hasn t been an issue but, like the cleanliness, it may be luck/day dependant. Alas from my own experience this place is absolutely amazing for the food and the service is arguably better.
I would rate the restaurant with five, yet there is always room for improvement. Excellent staff, timely service. Delectable and enjoyable every time. Vegetarian options: Green leaf beside options
Actually, quite good food, considering its so far from a major city. Easy to order menu . Blue type items all day, red type dinner only. Jot down the item number desired, and then the amount. Easy peasy. Quick delivery from the kitchen.
A friend & I enjoyed a fabulous Bento Box. This place is absolutely the best. Vegetarian options: Almost an unbelievable number of choices. Parking: There have been plenty of open spaces every time I go there.
Stopped in for a Sushi lunch. Tried the Deluxe Sushi Combo, will definitely have to go back for the All you can eat Sushi dinner. Food was delicious!
We ordered from SkipTheDish and the sushi and sashimi were fabulous! The price was very reasonable. The order was prepared pretty fast, so I was happy with that. The chicken skewers were amazing! I cannot rate the service and atmosphere as of yet, but the next time Im around, Id definitely eat in. Thank you!
The food was super fresh! Quality of food was incredible and price reasonable. 10/10 would dine again
Really slow for takeout. Show up 30 minutes after the time they tell you to come on the phone.
Had dinner all you can eat with a few friends that invited me out and the food was great! I m a beginner to sushi however I ll always come back for more, now that I ve tried it here,
very nice restaurant and excellent service and food..
Great food. Good price. Service could be quicker, but overall an amazing experience. I go often.
Worst service ever. We wont be back.
I got 6 pieces of sushi and had to pay 40 dollars to be there. Unless your buying a lot don t go here Food
I ordered my dinner to go and I waited more 40 minutes. I ordered fried noodles but I got boiled noodles. Not recommend this place
Great selection of tasty food. Always enjoy our times there.
I LOVE this location. The food is amazing! Ive brought so many people to this spot. We travel almost 2 hours now to have sushi at our favourite spot; Okinawa Sushi in Owen Sound, Ontario!
We enjoyed all the food we ordered, the beef skewers were great, would recommend to anyone wanting Japanese food
Not use to a all you can eat sushi that hasnt switched to a electronic tablet to place your order. Some dishes were quite delicious while others were a bit disappointing. Pad Thai didnt taste like a pad Thai.
Great place, great food. My son really enjoyed the shrimp tempura, and sashimi was great.
We have not been here since the beginning of the pandemic. So we decided to go back again last night. I will say their tempura is much better than Yummy Yummy., but other than that the food was quit bland. Also still using the paper system is old school. But the main reason we would never come back is the service. Not once did we receive a reply from any one of the waiters or waitresses, when we thanked them for our food, all of them made us feel like it was a chore for them to serve us. They all seemed very unhappy to be working.
The mango dragon was f*cking delicious !!
Excellent service and fresh quality sushi - nicely presented. Awesome lunch.
Enjoy eating there good food clean and staff is very prompt
Delicious food and excellent service
Best quality in town
Sooooo tasty.
Exceeded our expectations. Will definitely be ordering here again.
My boyfriend got the worst food poisoning I ve ever seen from eating takeout through skip from here, used to love this place but the quality has really gone downhill.
I love the sushi here. However this time we ordered, some of the chinese food for my hubby. It was absolutely awful. Flavourless spicy beef. General Tso Chicken that was soggy and not a nice flavour. Chefs fried rice, that was flavourless and mooshy. We called to complain, and we were given excuses and told they could give us 20% off our next order. Unfortunately there wont be another order to use that potential discount. We are that disappointed in the customer service. We have over $60 in food no one is going to eat.
Good sushi. Went for Mother s Day for all you can eat. Our server (guy) was very friendly and even offered the kiddos easy beginner chopsticks which they liked a lot. Will def be back again.
First time there. Great experience. Will definitely be back . Food was served hot and fresh, waitress explained what each dish was.
Normally good but on occasion has abit of quality issues
This is one of the best all you can eat experiences for sushi I have had. Very fresh, well seasoned, great staff. Sushi on a chip is unique and surprisingly tasty. Absolutely will be back often
Came here late on a Thursday. We were the only ones in the whole restaurant, the food was rushed, with no real presentation. The taste was average. But the worst part was the staff just STARING at us as we ate. So. Uncomfortable.
Good food
First time back since before the pandemic. Food is great quality and better assortment than most other places. A bit of a drive for us, but its our go-to sushi place!
Okinawa Sushi is quite possibly the best sushi Ive ever had. And Ive had sushi from the very best. I recommend going there on weekends during the day as it is the perfect setting for dining. The all you can eat is the best bang for your buck. Reasonably priced and great service.
So many vegetarian options! Tempura broccoli was my favourite but definitely recommend the spicy tofu roll!
2022 - Just visited for the first time in two years (because covid, etc) and Ive genuinely missed this place so much! As previously written; atmosphere, staff and food are absolutely amazing. My favourite AYCE sushi - hands down! I highly recommend! :) 2020 - Delicious, fresh sushi. Quick, great customer service. The restaurant is decorated beautifully. Ive been in Owen Sound for less than a month, and Ive eaten here 3 times already (I was pregnant and on a sushi-free diet for 9 months - dont judge me! Haha). Ive never been to the other sushi option here, but I honestly dont feel like I will based on the fact that I really enjoy Okinawa!
Cheap and quick. The food quality is good.
Great food, fast service and hot food
Delicious sushi/sashimi, not crowded at all fair prices
The cheese balls are made with cream cheese and the dumplings are deep-fried which I did not enjoy. The pad Thai was very peculiar and unflavourful even douced with soy sauce ....the sushi was small and disgusting. I would never buy food from here again
Very good! The service is impeccable and the food is fresh, hot and delicious!
Different, I probably wont be going back
Refreshing flavour Neat and presents well as take out. Very filling. Maki Set B
Friendly service and delicious food
The crab meat pizza was sooooo delicious and I love their Chinese food
Have gone here for years, family owned, food is great and service is good to when you want more food fill out the paper from your selection out of the sushi book and place at the edge of your table they watch from them and come almost immediately. Amazing sashimi and my favorite is there mango pudding.
Very delicious meal today, Friendly, polite safe service 2022 Sept
The sushi was wounderfull very clean and well kept place very nice staff
Stopped here for lunch after a round of golf. Not busy and the all you can eat was very nice. Left with a full stomach.
More selection then yummy yummy
I ate here and then had to call in sick the next day because they gave me stomach posoining, also food was horrible. Go to yummy yummy
The all you can eat menu for lunch is reasonably priced and has a large selection of choices. The hot food was all fresh and tasty. The sushi was disappointing, it was not Freshly prepared, the Tamago and the spicy tuna were made ahead and refrigerated for some time, as the rice was dried and firm and the tempura bits in the roll were no longer crispy.
The food was fantastic and the service was very friendly. I had to return to pick up an item that was forgotten in my very large order and they were so kind they gave me two of that item to make up for the honest mistake. Great experience!
Great food! Very friendly service, an excellent meal overall. :)
The pad Thai was slimy and not tasty very dissatisfied. The rolls were good
Probably the grossest shushi I ever had
Staff is very kind food is good
The staff are not nice. Last time I was there I found hair in my food. I use to love this place. Bad service I can handle but hair in my food is a definite no.
really yummy food and supper friendly and helpful staff
Best sushi place in town!
Great as always!
OS okinawa is open for dine in!! They great staff and amazing food
good
Im not sure if the quality has dropped off recently but this place gave me food poisoning.
Great food, great sushi. Dont eat too much! Lol
We ordered here a few times to check out the menu. The bento boxes are ok but they gave us shrimp tempura after we told them we had allergies and opted for veggie tempura on the phone. The rest of the stir-fry we ate was great. The 2nd time we ordered, the pad thai noodles, we think, had the sauce missing; it was pretty bad. I am hoping it was an accident and we can try again because you guys are so close to home. We hope there is more quality checks for the next time we order though! Id like to update this review to 5 stars soon! Good luck guys!
Really good food
Pretty great vegetarian sushi options.
Always excellent!
Usually good
Awesome!
Take out only for now but the food was really tasty.
Food was amazing
Food was adequate but not outstanding in any way. Sushi was mediocre. Service however, was the downfall of the evening. There was no friendliness at all in the building, barely a word from the servers or any of the staff. I gave it a shot, but wont be back unfortunately.
The menu was hard to read with the dark background and dark lettering. The pictures helped . Food was excellent very fresh.The restaurant was clean and patrons were well spaced apart.
Great sushi , fantastic if your in the area definitely a must order/ must have !
I love Okinawa sushi! Only ayce sushi I would go in town. They never disappoint, their food is always hot, fresh and delicious! I also love how diverse their menu is! Im so glad theyre still open after reopening and impressed that the quality of food stayed top notch, especially the sashimi. A must for me when I eat sushi !
Great place
Great vegetarian options, great service, and good price. Edit: Their takeout throughout the pandemic has stayed consistent and fast. Looking forward to dining in again soon!
Fantastic sushi at a reasonable price! Nice clean facility. Friendly helpful staff.
Amazing atmosphere anytime in in owen sound its a must
Fresh food. Relaxing atmosphere. Variety in menu. Delicious
Service is fast and food was delicious. Might be different if its more busy, but still a good experience.
Great food! Waitress doesn t bother you and let s you enjoy your meal. I am a regular here. But most times I do think that they purposely do not bring your entire order.
Sub par sushi. Everyone feels gross after that meal. 3/10 service was good.
Im from the city, so Ive had a variety of sushi and I gotta say that this place is fantastic ! I was very impressed with the sushi, fresh sashimi and rice well done! My fav was their mango roll, shrimp tempera , sushi rolls and hand rolls. Everything on menu is pretty much neck to neck. I should note k can here to scout out the place to see if its any good during lunch, and it definitely is! Im planning to make another trip back here for ayce sushi dinner !
Good food and excellent taste
Fresh tasting sushi, all you can eat.
Amazing place for great food, always fresh and fast
Very good. Salmon sashimi is terrific. Soft drinks are included in the price.
Not only the best Sushi in Owen Sound. The best Sushi in Southern Ontario.
It was good but expensive
I love this place. A great variety of sushi and other Asian food. Sushi is fresh and comes fast. Free parking lot right outside the restaurant. Also it s located on a busy street with quite a few gas stations. Very convenient because we drive 50 minutes one way for our favourite sushi!
Good food to get out of everyday life, Chinese, Tai, Japanese food
We ve ordered from here quite a few times and the food is consistently tasty, well seasoned and hot. Great portion sizes too. Satisfied.
Fast service and good sushi.
Ordered the spicy maki set and the teriyaki set. The salmon and tuna in the spicy set was slimy and not even appetizing to look at. The teriyaki set tasted good with lots of meat in the roll but the rolls where falling apart and stuck to each other. Wont be going back just wasted money.
Best sushi in town.
Weve been going here for a few years. Weve always had great service and great food. Tonight we ordered and they forgot the ginger and wasabi. They were willing to drive it out to us to make it right but since we live 45 minutes away, I said not to as we would be done our meal. They offered to replace our maki set free of charge. Im impressed, you dont see that level of customer service these days. We will be back again!
Always great food and service.
I found service very poor ..food was greasy and very expensive for small amounts served .never got everything I ordered ..and put my food with other people who were at the table .I wont be going back there ever again
Family dinners are quite an experience. Love that most dishes are small in size so you can try a wide variety. Not everyone likes sushi and that s not a problem as they serve many other dishes.
