Oko Kitchen Review - Fairfield County - The Infatuation
"If the name OKO rings a bell, it’s because this Japanese restaurant’s Rye counterpart also appears in our guide to the best restaurants in Westchester. Both the sushi bar and kitchen dishes in this converted firehouse space are equally great—start your meal with the pleasingly crunchy tempura-fried shiso leaves with creamy tofu dip, or the pear and cabbage salad with nutty miso dressing. On the sushi front, the $50 chef’s selection of 10 classic-with-a-twist nigiri is a great value, since most pieces on their own will run you $10-$20 each. Alternatively, you can’t go wrong with tempura mushroom bao, the duck and foie gras gyoza, or the truffled wagyu crispy rice nigiri. Close out your meal with the homemade soft serve or matcha Kit Kat, which are anything but an afterthought. photo credit: Sam Schwab" - Chloe Zale
