Okinawa Sushi & Grill

Update: Order delivered, sushi was completely off, first time I throw sushi away. I will not come back after ordering from this place for 3 years. Old review: Spectacular sushi restaurant! So lucky to have this place so close to my apt. Fresh fish, amazing staff, clean and nice atmosphere. BYOB, there is a wine shop next to the restaurant, which makes the whole experience ever better!enjoy it!

Went there few times, love their sushi. crunchy yellow dragon roll is my favorite. Fishes are always fresh can't complaint.

No idea why this place doesn’t have a higher score, everything was fresh, great, service was fantastic. Would definitely go again

A pleasant surprise. Small sushi place in a Plaza in Hoboke, where with a little luck you can find parking. Good service, good food, fair prices. Above average sushi, away from the crowd of Washington street.

I’m not sure why this place is having 4.1 rating. The food is excellent. And the prices are reasonable. I order takeouts here and Okinawa is always prepping the food fast. The portions are big and very tasty. I’ve been to Japan and tried a lot of sushi around the world. This isn’t a hi-end sushi place, of course, but it’s great. With my wife, we always enjoy Okinawa’s sushi. It’s one of our beloved places. And for the price, one can hardly beat it. As a nice bonus, they put very little rice over their rolls. With my wife, we enjoy it. Some people may be used to having more rice. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Very quiet space. Not a lot of space to eat compared to other restaurants but the food is superb. No bar so it is byob and there is a liquor store in the plaza. Sushi was very good and extremely fresh.

The food was excellent. I had some sushi & my friend had the chicken teriyaki. For appetizer we had vegetable dumplings. We shared some mochi for desert. Staff were friendly. Some parking is available which is great considering it's Hoboken. It's pretty easy to spot it as it is in a strip mall almost at the end.

Really worth coming. We had the Salmon Don with 15 pcs of salmon sashimi, and the yellow crunch dragon roll (special roll), and it was just fantastic. It's been a long time since I enjoyed sushi this much

Okinawa was a long time takeout staple for us years ago, always quality and affordable sushi and appetizers, we've recently moved and gotten a lot closer to the restaurant so we decided to stop in for an early weekend dinner. The place doesn't seem like all that much from the outside, with its less than scenic location especially compared to most other restaurants in the area, but don't let that fool you. The inside was clean, tastefully designed and intimate. It's clear most of the business for this place is primarily takeout, which is kind of a shame, but at the same time allows for faster in house service and a much quieter dinner scene than most places in Hoboken. The food was delicious, we ordered a 3 roll combo, chicken lo mein and pork gyoza and everything was very flavorful and affordable with some great presentation. We didn't drink but it is BYO which I always appreciate, so the meal only ended up coming out to $60 for the two of us which is pretty phenomenal given the quality of the food and service. Needless to say will be coming back here plenty, highly recommend

Okinawa is a small Asian spot in Hoboken. They have an extensive menu that has something for everyone, including plenty of vegetarian options. We got the seaweed salad, avocado & cucumber roll, and vegetable yaki udon. We felt the portion for the yaki udon was smaller than some of the other spots in Hoboken, but it honestly is a great size for one person for dinner, if you get an appetizer or roll with it. While none of our food was anything memorable, we enjoyed our time and will likely be back.

Their lunch deal sushi rolls are highly recommended! We order from here often. Dining in is also pleasant and friendly service.

Best sushi in hoboken, rolls are large and fresh and price is good. Place is well kept and clean. Kinda a problem having a place this good close to me.. find myself ordering as much as 3 times a week!

Amazing sushi- great specialty rolls & regular ones, give plenty of fish and don't give excess rice

Good food, and fast service. We usually get their spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls which we love

Okinawa Sushi is probably by far the best sushi place in the area. We live in the Heights where there's no good sushi at all, so my boyfriend picks up Sushi at Okinawa fairly often. I love all their salmon rolls. We've only ever gotten take out, but it looks like a nice place to sit down. The person that hands us the food is polite.

Spot on Sushi always freshest in Hoboken, lunch specials are by far the cheapest in Hoboken

My go to place for sushi in Hoboken! We've ordered takeout countless times and it's always been fresh and tasty. We dined in once for a birthday (BYOB) and while it was quiet and lacking ambiance, sushi presentation was great. Absolutely loved the Trio Spicy special roll and will continue ordering from here as long as i'm in Hoboken!

The sushi was very fresh and delicious! The portions are fantastic, sometimes places skimp on the amount of fish in the rolls, but these were perfect. Definitely my new go-to spot in Hoboken for sushi!

Portions are getting smaller. I frequently order one salmon sashimi. This time around I order two. Instead of receiving the usual size, it's extremely obvious that the salmon was simply cut 2x as thin. Same issue with their kani salad - full size price in a side dish container. Will be ordering elsewhere at this point.

The sushi is so good! Love their rolls and appetizers. This is my new spot now! It hits the spot and the fish is fresh. Will definitely continue to eat from here. My favorite roll is angry dragon roll and spicy salmon hand roll. The shumai is really good too.

I ordered takeout from this restaurant and got a variety of vegetarian rolls. They were all very tasty and came at a reasonable price. Definitely a good choice for sushi in Hoboken.

I wanted to like this place but the sushi is mediocre at best. Spicy tuna was with white tuna vs purple. The regular spicy tuna the same. Clearly cut corners to save money. Waste of money.

Good place, perfectly presented food, great environment with service on point & hottie sushi chefs. (I said it) Lunch specials are niiice. Easy price with enough food to sustain yuh. What's awesomely awesome is the parking right outside & IYKYK parking is beeeyatch in Hoboken, so this will the be The Spot for a great meal. Go!

This is my new favorite sushi place in Hoboken. I grew up here and have seen many places come and go. There are some solid spots like Robongi and Illuzion, but I gotta saw Okinawa is #1. The spider roll had more shoftshell crab in it than I have ever seen in any restaurant. Not sure if that was a fluke -- sure hope not. Pricing was maybe on the high side but I am OK with it given the quality and size; roughly $30 for 2 specialty rolls that were large and very filling. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for sushi in Hoboken.

3 maki lunch for $11.75 I got California roll, eel avocado, and kani roll. Everything taste really good.

I used to like this place a lot so when it started going downhill I gave it a lot of extra chances. At this point they've gotten my order wrong too many times and the quality of the food in general seems to be lower, so I'm adjusting my rating. This is definitely not the best sushi in Hoboken anymore. They can't even get things like gyoza right either lately, so it's more than just the sushi.

I go here weekly at this point. Service is great, food comes out quickly, always come out fresh and their prices are fantastic. So far everything we have tried on the menu has been great, sushi for 2 is our personal favorite. This inside always has great music, and always has a very chill crowd of people there as well. Really great spot for a date night that is off the beaten path of the Hoboken weekend crowd.

Stopped in for lunch and decided to go for the spicy ramen - it was great! Need to come back for sushi soon

A good casual spot. The staff is friendly and the food tastes fresh. You could argue prices are slightly higher than other sushi restaurants in the area, but I think the rolls are well portioned and the cuts of fish are bigger.

Our waiter was the best we have ever had! Ordered a Tokyo roll, Monster roll, rainbow roll and a spicy tuna roll. The Monster was AMAZING. The spicy tuna wasn't very spicy but the mango sauce on our Tokyo was specious. If you like mochi ice cream, we got that too and it was perfectly flavored without tasting too artificial. Overall, great meal for our money!

My favorite sushi spot in Hoboken! For the price you paying, you're receiving good quality food and friendly service. I ordered a sweet potato roll and spicy California roll and a side of miso soup. The text notifications you get when you place an online order is an additional bonus.

Solid delivery experience and good quality. I've ordered from here many times through the years and always had a positive experience. Tonight I needed my sush fix so I ordered a Spicy Salmon Avocado Roll and the Angry Dragon Roll- both with brown rice. It came fairly quickly and everything was delicious. I also find this a great spot to pick up if you have a car since they have a parking lot! I've also had their kani salad and dumplings - both are good! Would recommend!

This is our go to place in hoboken. Thus far, we couldn't find fresher fish than here. I miss the wasabi Shumai they used to have. But still a solid place to order delivery from. Restaurant itself lacks a little ambience.

Very polite staff. The atmosphere is good. We were immediately very pleasantly surprised by our polite attitude. They have proven themselves well. I'm happy.

Best sushi spot in NJ. Fresh salmon always and service is great. Very clean inside. My favorite spot.

Finding decent sushi in this town is like finding a needle in a haystack. When it comes to sushi, Okinawa is by far the best and has been my go-to spot for dining in or ordering taking out. I've only tried the sushi here, but they do offer other Japanese, Thai and Chinese entrees. The specialty rolls are fairly large and their basic rolls are fresh and tasty. If dining in, the restaurant is BYOB! However, you may have to wait a bit if you come later on Friday or the weekends. Delivery has always been fast and they've always gotten my orders right. Highly recommend!

I have been to Okinawa many times and finally realized ive never reviewed! I prefer Okinawa over some of the other sushi places in the area because the fish is consistently fresh, the food is prepared quickly, and the rolls are done very well. On this particular evening, I ordered the Spicy Scallop Roll, Salmon Roll and the eel roll. You can ask for the spicy scallop roll with or without avocado. All of the rolls were fresh and tasted delicious. I also like how there wasn't too much rice in each roll. Indoor dining is still unavailable here but if you call in an order for pickup it's usually ready in 10-15 minutes. Overall, Okinawa is a solid sushi spot with great service.

I ordered food on February 14 around 7:52pm, I never got my order and nobody called me or answered my call that day. I called the day after to notify them they charged my credit card and I didn't receive my food so they said ok we will refund you back in 5 days (the worst service I got ever in my life they even didn't think to apologize for that) I asked to talk with the manager they said she will call you and of course 3 days after I didn't receive any calls for her. They have the worst service ever don't order because you will not get your food and if you call them you will be lucky to get service. Good luck

Ordered pickup via their site which is via delivery.com Lunch specials until 4pm! Got the sashimi lunch special with soup and salmon sashimi lunch with salad. Huge chunks of sashimi and super fresh. Sashimi lunch came with your typical 3 fish: ahi tuna, salmon, and white tuna. Highly recommended!!!

Great quality, consistent fast delivery and delicious (both sushi and their hot noodle dishes). Highly recommend.

So bad food I have bad experience with them I don't advise anyone going there So they aren't professional at all

Edamame, seaweed salad, miso soup, nabeyaki udon *pause for deep breath* eel avocado roll, chicken teriyaki, tuna roll, veggie spring roll, dragon roll *undo top pants button* spicy salmon roll, pork dumplings *ask for doggie bag* yellow tail roll *AND SCENE*. Between 4 people, we all ate family style and that was more than enough. The stand out stars for me were the eel avocado roll (my personal favorite) and the dumplings. The eel was still warm and paired with fresh avocado, YUM. The dumplings were delish, cooked perfectly so the skin was just a little crispy but only barely. My parents weren't fans of the nabeyaki udon, they said the broth was watery, but I actually really liked it so I guess that one goes person to person. The staff is friendly and place was buzzing on a Monday night. The restaurant has an interesting vibe. Beige and plain in nearly all of the decor except for the neon lights running throughout it. It almost has, HERE ME OUT, Cocktail vibes. You know that movie from the 80s with Tom Cruise? Anyway, if you are jonesing for some sushi, this is your place. Get delivery, call in and pick up, or get a table and eat here. You can't go wrong, Cocktail vibes and all.

One of the better sushi spots in the downtown Hoboken area compared to some of the other ones I've been to. The prices are pretty good and the quality is definitely worth the price you pay. We recently got the sashimi platter and a few of the rolls and were very pleased with the food. If you're looking for some different apps to switch it up, the tuna tataki and yellowtail jalapeño apps are really good. The fish is very fresh and the sauce that comes with is the perfect compliment to it.

Good clean sushi. It doesn't taste too fishy. We always get delivery and find that it travels well. I've ordered from Okinawa multiple times now and it has always been excellent.

Tried take-out from Okinawa this weekend. I couldn't process my order online since it said my address was out of the delivery range even though I'm right by the Malibu diner so I had to call instead. Delivery window was 60-90 minutes and took full 90 minutes to arrive. The fried cheese wontons were good and a big portion size - they'd probably taste better in person though since they weren't that crispy delivered. For rolls, I got a spicy tuna, spicy scallop and avocado and the Hoboken roll. The Hoboken roll was mostly crab and would've been better with the spicy sauce poured on top. The other rolls were standard. I'd give takeout from there another try and get a speciality roll.

There was hair on my food.... There were ingredients in the rolls that were not listed, to which I am allergic to, so I couldn't eat most of the food I ordered

Ordered for the first time. Let me just say.... The best sushi in hoboken without a doubt!!!! So fresh... delivery was quick. I ordered through "ezordernow" and they came within 20 minutes! I haven't ordered sushi in awhile because I'm never sure whether or not it's fresh. I hate when there's that old sushi smell. Okinawa on the other hand... so unbelievably fresh and is our new go to! We ordered a garden salad with ginger dressing. Dressing was so good and they give you a lot. Spicy tuna was really good and we love the salmon or tuna with avocado. Let's just say... we recommend!!!

A coworker recommended so had to try. They have an insanely quick delivery so if you are hungry this is the spot. We tried a few different items. The shinning roll and peanut avocado hand roll were legit. They have the option of the hand roll and a regular roll which I honestly didn't know the difference. The hand roll is not my thing. It is hard to eat first off and the rolled sushi just makes it taste better. We also ordered the sweetheart roll as well. This place is also affordably priced but most importantly uses fresh ingredients. Nothing wrong with the spot and I would definitely reorder. One of the best sushi spots in town.

Never ordered from here before but read good yelp reviews so gave it a shot! We ordered miso soup that came in a bigger container than usual, rainbow rolls and spicy yellowtail rolls - it looked so good but forgot to snap a pic because we were so hungry! The sushi was very fresh and delicious, would definitely order from again :)

Solid sushi in Hoboken. Get takeout from here all the time and it never disappoints! Fish is always fresh.

Yum! I was impressed with this place, I'm surprised I hadn't tried it sooner. We got a table for three last night around 7pm without a wait, which is great because I was concerned there might be a wait since they don't take reservations. Our waitress was attentive and our rolls came out very quickly. I ordered the Oki Roll and it was super filling (I loved the special sauce) and a spicy salmon roll. Honestly, it was hard to choose what I wanted because all of their Special Rolls sounded amazing. Looking forward to coming back soon to try some of the other rolls! One note - it's BYOB. I didn't realize this til we were on our way, but thankfully there's a liquor store nearby.

Been here a few times during lunch. The lunch special is a really good deal. The food comes out very fast and always fresh. The servers are very pleasant and welcoming. The restaurant is also BYOB which is great! I've never been disappointed here and will definitely keep coming back. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for great sushi, great service, and a clean restaurant

I have to say, this is an Ok sushi restaurant. It is small but super busy because of their crazy amount of to-go order. I sat at the bar area and waited for our sushi for more than 30 mins. I started to regret that I didn't order any appetizer. After the meal, I ordered Tempura ice cream as dessert. It took almost 15 mins to get the ice cream. Meanwhile, it was not cut into pieces so that it lost all the fun and tastes of Tempura Icecream. They have like 4 or 5 sushi makers to make sushi but they are really slow because of the to-go orders. It's not cheap and it's not worth the price. I don't know why they have a 4 stars reviews, but I really think it's a 3 star and one star off because of their slow service and terrible tempura ice cream.

Great portions. Sushi was very fresh and prepared well. Edamame was perfectly salted and warm. Salad dressing was good but I've had better. Definitely recommend.

Ordered takeout from here for the first time last night after hearing positive reviews from a few friends. We ordered on Seamless as the delivery is free and received our food a half hour before the estimated delivery time, which was great as we were hungry! The rolls were incredibly fresh and tasty, and they gave us a generous portion of wasabi and soy sauce on the side. I also had the Chicken Tom Kai soup which was delicious, although I'm not sure why they have it labeled as "hot and spicy" on the menu since I didn't find it to be spicy. This sushi is a bit pricy if you're used to places that offer half off sushi every day. Our takeout with four regular rolls (not the specialty ones) and two soups came out to $46 including the tip. However, the quality of the sushi and quick delivery service makes it worth it. I definitely recommend ordering from here.

Have been meaning to try this place for a while but I have to say it didn't quite live up to the hype. While my rolls were pretty tasty and there was nothing wrong with them, the quality felt pretty similar to places that cost a bit less around here. Next time I might try a special roll to see if that where the hype is at! I did upgrade my avocado roll to have soy paper to hit the delivery minimum and it was a good choice, very yum!

I order takeout here occasionally and enjoy the food, but figured to try it out for date night. When my boyfriend and I got there, the place was packed. We lucked out and got seated right away. Pros: - The place is BYOB - There is a free parking lot - The portions are GENEROUS (peep the sashimi pic *drool*) - Sushi tastes and looks fresh Cons: - Place was packed, so you may have to wait around
