Okura Robata Grill & Sushi Bar

Beautiful inside and well designed. Good is pricey, even with inflation. Good food though and portions are okay sized. Will come again. Just wish was about 15% less in costs as we were afraid to try more food and already $175 for 2 people

This place is amazing. I won't often get Sashimi on a first visit. But, I walked in the atmosphere was warm and inviting, I sat at the bar and was greeted by Carlos, with a huge smile and ready to take my order. I was impressed to find 3 large portions the 6 fish. Everything was SO fresh and tasted exactly how you'd hope. The highlights for me, were the scallops which were succulent and sweet. And the tuna, I'd fight you to have couple more bites. Like push you down in a race if it meant my prize was another couple of pieces. Overall couldn't recommend enough. I'll be back next time my job sends me to the area.

I want expecting to find a good sushi place in the middle of the desert of nowhere. But oh was I wrong. Upon walking in we were greeted immediately and brought to a special table. The visuals inside are excellent. Classy. Clean and artsy. Food is outstanding. I got rolls and asked for them to be cucumber wrapped. I also tried the stuff jalapeño. I did like it. However I'd swap out the spicy tuna with crab meat instead, add avocado. Trust me. Would I come here again? It I'm in the area most definitely. There are many other things I'd like to try in the menu. Staff: professional Decor: modern and clean Food: above average Display of food: excellent Cleanliness: very clean Bathrooms: clean

We eat a lot of Sushi and this place is at the top of our list. The presentation, quality and service makes this sushi restaurant stand out above the rest. We are gluten free and garlic free. The cooks were extremely accommodating. They knew we liked spicy food and coupled our rolls with Serrano peppers. The Nigoiri sake we bought was one of the best unfiltered sake’s we had. Our only complaint was we didn’t insist on sitting on the patio. If you are comparing sushi places in Palm Desert, this is the one to choose.

The service here was very good. We had reservations and we were sat right away. The server waited on us promptly. He was very nice and suggested several things from the menu. We were served in a timely manner. The selection of sushi rolls was great. The lemon salmon roll with fabulous! I really wish they had one of these restaurants in tampa. Great selection of food and again, the sushi rolls were fantastic!

The sushi was absolutely delicious. The scallop in the Marilyn Monroe roll was like butter. Flavorful!

We absolutely love love this place, fantastic staff, so kind and attentive hard working always plesent. The food is sooo good, love the sushi,tempura, crab and shrimp salad, black rose etc Sashimi is so fresh. Delicious. Never have I been disappointed. I highly recommend this spot.

The best sushi and Japanese place in the valley! Always my top choice for special occasions.

Solid sushi joint. Pricing wasn't crazy and the rolls were great. Beef skewers were tender and flavorful. Our favorite roll was the hamachi jalapeño roll followed by the protein roll. The table enjoyed the calamari appetizer. The Okura tempura set was also a large set. Other people in my party ordered the spider roll and noticed there were carrots but no pickled gobo root in there so the flavor was slightly off. I was told that the lychee martini could have more lychee flavor. The spicy margarita was on the sour side in my opinion. The ambiance is dark steakhouse but I wasn't dressed fancy at all. I saw people in shorts and sandals. I was also wearing sandals.

During our visit recent visit a few days ago,we encountered the following troubling incidents: Discriminatory Remark: Our server, Maggie G., referred to us as "you people," which we reasonably understood to be an inappropriate, prejudicial comment based on our appearance. This conduct is not only unprofessional but potentially unlawful under applicable anti-discrimination laws. Failure to Accommodate Dietary Restrictions: Despite informing the server that I suffer from celiac disease, my request for proper accommodation was ignored. This resulted in significant concern for my health and well-being. Hostile Conduct by Staff and Guest: Following our discussion with the manager about these incidents, we were subjected to further mistreatment as we departed. Specifically, Maggie G.'s boyfriend or the Servers friendstold us to "go f*** off," creating an unsafe and threatening environment. When I asked what is going on, I had three men verbally abuse me and tell me to go fuck myself and to go fuck off and get the fuck out of here as your servers were laughing and heckling at us. We find this entire experience completely unacceptable, contrary to the standards one would reasonably expect at a reputable establishment, and potentially actionable under state and federal anti-discrimination and consumer protection laws. Please note that this letter is being sent to provide you an opportunity to promptly address and resolve these matters. Specifically, we request a formal, written acknowledgment of this complaint and an explanation of any corrective action you will take. Failure to do so may result in further action, including filing a formal complaint with the appropriate civil rights and health authorities and/or pursuing legal remedies.

Had dinner here to celebrate my stepdaughter's hs graduation. The ambiance is beautiful the hostesses were very nice and had us seated within 10 minutes. I will say it did take a while for our server to get to us but once he did it was exceptional service! Our drinks came out in minutes. The food was beyond my expectations. The Marilyn Monroe was bomb Miso soup delicious and the appetizer stuffed jalapeños with shrimp omg sooo good! I'm a sucker for Apreol spritz and there's was sooo good! It's pricey but definitely worth it.

Best sushi seafood experience I ever had ...the Seafood Gratin was pure umami. Never had a dish like that before. It was an Umptious, buttery dish of garlic, shrimp, mushrooms, scallops, cream and whatever else those geniuses put in there. Sushi rolls were such a high grade and beautiful as well. Pretty busy on a Saturday night so make reservations. Prices are a little high, but a great special occasion restaurant.

4 of us out for dinner before heading home after a great vacation in the desert. The seared tuna roll with gobi and togaradhi spice was great. We enjoyed a couple of appetizers too. I asked for a Japanese whiskey suggestion from the bartender. He was able to offer me a small sample of two of their best. I settled on the Umiki and had a glass meat. It was a good dining experience

Who knew such a fantastic Japanese restaurant exists in the desert of all places!! Not only is this a gorgeous restaurant but the quality of the food and service is excellent as well! I might add that I've eaten at so many different Japanese restaurants of different quality and almost all of their miso soup tastes about the same. But this restaurant has THE BEST miso soup I've ever had! So flavorful.

The best sushi in the desert. I love this place, it's stunning and the sushi is so good. Their Happy Hour at the bar offers some great choices, I had the rock shrimp dynamite which was delicious. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been.

We came here with some family we were visiting in the area. The restaurant was busy and I was told was always this way and I could see why when we finished. Reservations are recommended here. The appetizers we had of carpaccio were excellent, my favorite would have to be the Hamachi Carpaccio (Yellowtail, Ginger, Chives with Soy - Lemon Vinaigrette). The seafood gratin was to die for with shrimp & scallops baked with white mushrooms with spicy cream sauce, we kept it as a dipping sauce for our rolls and you should try that as well. Some of the specialty rolls have unique names that really had nothing to do with the content of the roll. My favorite among these the James Dean, Eel, crab, tuna, cucumber and avocado and eel sauce. And the Marilyn Monroe, shrimp tempura, scallop, crab, tobiko, cucumber and micro cilantro, avocado with aioli

Dinner here is amazing! Lots of seating! Kid friendly too. Ordered the Shishito Peppers as a starter, very good! Cooked to perfection! Nice crunch to the peppers and the sauce complimented the peppers well! Then we ordered the Hamachi Carpaccio and the sauce was amazing. We had ordered the Beef Skewer for my child and the steak was a little overcooked so the meat was a bit harder to chew. Next we had the Sashimi 18 Pieces Sasjo and it came with Sashimi, Tuna, Salmon, Albacore Tuna, Hotate, Hamachi, Tai. Hands down best sashimi . We then also ordered the Seared Albacore with Spicy Krab, Tobiko, Gobo, Cucumber, Shichimi and Micro Cilantro. Tasty but definitely had a spice to it. Service was amazing and staff is very nice! So if you're in town, you should stop here for dinner!

Very pretty ambience. Customer service is great. The restaurant has big menu with sushi and cooked Japanese dishes. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The only thing I can say about the soft shell crab was the Roman lettuce salad that did not go with it. It was weird. The dessert I had was a trio of a few things. The tempura ice cream was ok. It was doughy. Cocktails were ok. It was a it weak for my taste. But they fixed it so it was fine. I do recommend this place.

What a delightful find in the desert! First, lovely decor and great outdoor covered seating in the back patio. Came here with friends for a pre-birthday dinner and this did not disappoint. Definitely try the Lychee Martini, or the Pear Martini - both quite good. We ordered multiple dishes from different carpaccios, gyoza, a really good seaweed salad and sushi sampler - followed by various rolls and I swear every dish was full of flavor, well portioned, nicely cut fish and paired well for the rolls. Loved this so much we are coming back again tonight.

Freshness. Temperature. Taste. Preparation. Good service. Lovely setting - great for a date night or a casual meal. This place has everything we look for in a sushi restaurant. So happy to have found this place since moving to the valley. Last night was our 2nd time here - wanted to try again to make sure it was as good as we found it on our first trip. This is our new go to spot.

One of the best sushi restaurants, hands-down, especially in that area! Their fish is flown in every day! Need to say more? We thoroughly enjoyed our night, to celebrate my birthday! We enjoyed some very strong drinks--that also tasted yummy! Here's what we ordered below. Drinks: (2) different vodka-based cocktails (1) large-hot sake Appetizers: Albacore tuna carpaccio Steamed lightly-salted edamame Main dishes: Chirashi A Specialty role, which name escapes me Sweet soy glazed baked-cod Drinks: 10/10 Food: 9/10 Ambiance: 10/10 One of the best birthdays, and Sushi that I have had in a while! I would definitely recommend this place. I would also recommend that you make reservations, for special events, or on weekends! They are my go to place in that area for Sushi, moving forward! The service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The floor manager, Lynda, was also attentive and friendly and provided great customer service during the night! The ambience of the place was upscale, like a nice sit down sushi restaurant. It had a very cozy feel, with dimmed lights, and spacious dining room with several different focus areas. The coolest part about Okura sushi's decor was that--in the middle of the dining room--it had a custom-made faux, cherry blossom tree, with custom silk petals...that looked so real and gorgeous!

The food was great, and Maggie, the server, made it so much better. It was my daughters birthday and she brought her green tea but she didn't like it when I asked her she brought her vanilla ice cream with Decoration she felt so special. Thank you

The rolls are really good here. Okura doesn't disappoint, in all the times I've visited them, the foo it's been fresh and flavorful. The service is very attractive and friendly making our experience even a better one. The restaurant it has a very nice ambiance, the decore, music and cleanliness. I always recommend Okura as the place to come.

The service and food was great! I really enjoyed the freshness of the rolls and the variety.

Came here with my dad, he really likes this place for sushi, I've never tried it. I don't usually go this far in the valley that often at all. I'll make this quick since I'm sure I'll come back again. Dad treated me, so didn't have to worry about paying. Of course walking in, it is big and more upscale than an average sushi place. So that's good and nice but for course then that means prices are little more than other sushi places. Sat at the bar top because the wait time was long. We didn't mind at all. We both don't drink, but either way it was quiet and laid back at the bar. Bartender helped us out. Only thing that I didn't care for was I had to always fetch for him if I needed his attention , while of course when my father was around he constantly asked if we needed anything. So that was annoying considering I use to bartend and worked in the field, so didn't care for that part of those interactions. Unfortunately the roll I got was whatever, but the mango roll one that pops got I liked a lot. So guess should've switched . First experience was nice, guess despite everything I enjoyed it more because I was being treated. So that's something to keep in mind. I'm from the desert but recently moved back after over 25 years from OC/LA area so been to plenty places like these. Why sometimes I prefer going to more casual sushi places. Experiences are more enjoyable. But if you want that higher end feel, then you'll enjoy coming here.

Consistently good ! creative menu(love the soft shell crab!) great ambiance, efficient service.

*Oishii Okura* What a nice & pleasant experience. I've been following the reviews of Okura for years but was a little apprehensive due to some of the reviews I've read expressing how loud the restaurant gets and their blasting music too. A good longtime friend of mine comes here all the time and invited me as his guest...so I didn't really know what to expect because it was a TGIF Night. Well, first of all I'd like to profess & confess that the music was not loud at all (perhaps they finally got the message ;-) and I enjoyed the tasteful & beautiful restaurant decor & vibe with my buddy at our nice 2-top table -- without having to SHOUT at each other over any loud music :-) I love Japanese food & sushi and take it very seriously so I went into this with an open mind & heart, yet wanted to experience it traditionally like how I was taught by some amazing Japanese friends -- which is how I enjoy Japanese food the most when I opt not to eat strictly nigiri sushi. We started off with Hamachi Carpaccio to share and it was triple-D-lishious & very fresh. Absolutely nothing wrong with this dish and could've eaten the entire plate myself ;-) But IMO, 5 pieces is an odd number to serve and prefer 6 because it's easier to split between 2/4/6 peeps. One of my favorite things is an old-school traditional Salmon Skin Handroll which I blame on my Dad for talking me into trying one when I was a little kid. Nowadays, most places haven't a clue how to make & prepare it. They don't include Gobo, also known as burdock root, which is a popular Japanese root vegetable that's a key ingredient in all salmon skin handrolls. Another key ingredient is bonito shavings. Most places don't even bother with that either and it's such a shame because it brings it all together along with the gobo & thinly sliced cucumber, for a nice crunch in perfect tastebud harmony, along with the toasted seaweed and salmon skin. Another key ingredient is Orange Tabiko (Masago) which is flying fish eggs. But Okura surprised me with including Ikura (salmon roe eggs) and Sea Greens which was a very nice touch. But I would've preferred it without both and the Tabiko (Masago) instead. Nonetheless, it was still excellent...and so was the Ponzu Sauce I asked for on the side, because Eel Sauce on Salmon Skin Handrolls (avocado too) is a big no-no and far from traditional. But Okura's handroll was nice & fat...and minus the ikura & sea greens, it was one of better salmon skin handrollls I've had -- especially since they didn't skimp on the salmon skin. I'm a sucker for Bento Boxes because at times, I like to sample a little bit of everything -- especially the first time trying a new place. I was very satisfied with my decision and the baked salmon in broth was insanely good and didn't want it to end, as well as the Salmon (Sake) Sashimi -- nice thick cuts that were flavorful; not fishy...and melted in my mouth. The Tempura was pretty good but I thought the Shrimp were rather small but the tempura batter was very good as well as the vegetables and tempura broth sauce. I was pleased to see not 4 nor 6 but 8 pieces of California Roll. It was pretty good but a little disappointing at the same time because I thought the Imitation Krab with a K mixture had too much mayo...and the roll itself was missing cucumber for a little crunch. Believe it or not, a little bit of cucs goes a long way and it screams for it when it's missing. Also, it was missing sesame seeds which I expect to see & eat and a "high-end" Japanese restaurant. A California Roll is not difficult to prepare and IMO it missed the mark. And thought the sushi rice was just okay too. My buddy devoured his Mango Tango Roll and another roll I forget the name of. I tasted one of each and they very good and GIGANTIC. The service was excellent...and once they figured out I'm a h2o dude, they filled my glass with more water than my bladder could handle :-) We received all our food in a very timely manner which was very impressive at primetime Friday Night. But the star of the Friday Night Evening Show was Okura'a Manager, Linda. She went above and beyond to make sure we were seated at a great table, were well taken care of throughout our dining experience...and she came by a few times to check in on us too. Overall this was a very solid 4+ dining experience. Only reason why I'm not awarding Okura right now with a big high-5 is because I think a few details could've been better as expressed above. But this will not keep me from coming back with my wife next time for a round of bento boxes...Hamachi Carpaccio...and another Salmon Skin Handroll too. Thank you Okura, and Linda for a very nice first-time dining experience. {{{Grandslam I'm a Fan}}} Sayonara for now from Scotto San

Sushi was enjoyable! the hamachi w/lemon--so fresh and delicious. The tempura was amazing, crispy and light. We had veggies and shrimp. The fried California roll was great too (minus the fake crab, but I guess that's just the way of the world). The miso soup was solid, just a little cold. Only real miss was the fried rice--not their strong suit. Our waiter was awesome and friendly along with a nice vibe. The only weird part? I made a reservation online, and then they called to say I had to come earlier. Felt like a trap- lol- totally worth it!

Brought my 8yo here on an impromptu mommy and son dinner date cause I had to quickly feed the child. Didn't have reservations but they sat us right away...next to the bar. I didn't think anything of it but noticed they had plenty of seating in the lower section but maybe that's for people with reservations? He had the Yaki Udon with chicken which was ok. Lots of veggies, small portion of overcooked chicken and bland but bland is ok cause he doesn't need more sodium in his life. I had to specifically request it cause I couldn't find it on the menu, probably a reason for that. I ordered the Lemon Delight roll. It was fine. My only regret was not asking for another table when they sat us. A polite intoxicated woman from the bar made a beeline for my son with questions about sports and his hobbies. It was very innocent but I could see the horror in his eyes. My mistake for not speaking up but also maybe bad choice in seat selection by the hostess. All in all, service fine, food was fine, ambiance pretty. Definitely a place for adults, couples, friends etc. I learned we probably shouldn't be back with little kiddos in tow.

So delish! This place does amazing rolls, some places I go, the sushi is great but rolls are average, Okura had both on point! Don't miss out on trying this restaurant!

Definitely get reservations to eat here as it was quite busy and we walked right through the crowd with our reservations. Lots of seating areas, the dim overall light and fun decor provided some intimate areas despite it being a large restaurant. Service was excellent. We are not usual sushi diners so we had lots of questions and our server was very well versed about the menu. So helpful and our choices were perfect. I liked that we had four people and could share our choices to try a number of things. The beef skewer was delicious. Wish it was a big larger portion. The rolls were huge. Loved the crunchy option we chose. Great experience.

Been here twice and both times the service was bad. The stereotyping is Horrible. Basically if you don't look like you have money you're ignored and treated differently. Your left to wait until they feel like sitting you while they take in others without a reservation and sit them. Then you get seated on the outskirts of the restaurant and only customers that look elegant or like they have money are seated in the main section by the tree. The food isn't all that to allow someone to treat you like that !!! The hostess at the front needs an attitude check. Can find way better sushi in other local spots. Peeps don't allow these restaurants to give you bad service especially with the outrageous prices they want to charge . Definitely NEVER going back !!!

I want to compliment Joana and Javier on their excellent service and fantastic attitude. It was busy and they were understaffed but made sure we were taken care of. The fish is fresh and I'd recommend this restaurant for sushi in the area.

My friend and I sat at the bar but it was beautiful view everywhere, the service was great and the food was WOO!

We came here on a Medical Conference weekend and the restaurant was packed. Food was good. A little overpriced. The ambience was warm and cozy. Dimly lit

Been coming here a few years now and lost count how many times I have actually been here. The food is always good. The service is great as well. The hostesses need improving though, they couldn't care less to be honest with you. Here is where the fun starts...If you make a reservation either by calling or on opentable and don't specify you want the main room, they will throw you in the dark kids room. We never encountered this before and frankly, didn't even know this room existed. Its off the bar like some glorified storage room. We like the waiters but felt neglected. I don't blame them. I would forget this room existed too. I know they are trying to cram as many people possible in here but this is ridiculous. I thought I was in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland and was waiting for the "Ghost Host" to tell me there are no windows and no doors because there are no windows and no doors! At least give me a ghost hitch-hiker on the way out!

We made reservations and walked right in. The place is buzzing with Beautiful ambience. We ordered some rolls - Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned rice, and beautifully crafted rolls. We loved the chicken and rice too.

Had to leave an updated review as it had been many years since I've eaten here. I've always liked it as it's hard to get quality sushi in the desert but this spot always delivers on taste and presentation. In October 2023 this was my first time at their larger location and it was stunning! The exterior definitely doesn't do it justice for how beautiful it is inside. The interior decor is literally gorgeous and transports you to sushi fine dining that could easily make you feel like your in LA or Vegas. Pretty purple neon lights and a gorgeous cherry blossom tree decor dead center of the restaurant it's a show stopper. Service has much improved since my last visit! They had six sushi chefs working behind the counter I couldn't believe it. Also our server was an older Asian gentleman and he was awesome. Super attentive and nice. He definitely bumped up the stars in my book given how much better the service was since the last time we came. The food continues to be stellar and as good as ever. The sushi is unbelievably fresh and presentation makes the rolls here a 5/5. I'm still a sucker for their dynamite fried shrimp and the Marilyn Monroe roll continues to reign supreme. What's new that i tried here were the giant oysters. Oh my god one of the best Asian style oysters I've had in a minute. Super fresh and meaty, a must if you love oysters! Couldn't believe the size for the value in price. The food here always wows and it's a great spot for celebrations and dates. The prices continue to be on the higher end but the quality is there. Plus good sushi lacks in this part of town so I get why they can charge a pretty penny. For three gals it easily came to $130. You get what you pay for though. Pro tip: you MUST get the lychee martini as it's the best I've had anywhere yet. Also wouldn't hurt to make a reservation. This spot always gets packed and it saves you from a long wait time.

Excellent reception, seating, initial service, food selection and quality. Ambiance was energetic which is how we like it. Service was somewhat slow at the end, as our waiter was also serving the outside patio. All in all, a Great night; will return soon.

My favorite and best Japanese sushi & grill restaurant in the desert. I love the ambience of the restaurant. I remember when it was a smaller restaurant in the same shopping mall. The new location is so much more space and decor. If you don't eat sushi, there's so much other items from the grill or bento boxes.

We enjoyed a lovely evening of flavorful and artful creations. Our first visit and very pleasantly surprised by the quality, flavors and artfulness of the preparation and presentation of our meal. Our sushi choices were masterfully presented. My wife loved her beef binto box. And my two rolls were wonderful.. Slightly pricey but worth it... we'll be back...

A nice early evening, no resi at the sushi bar. Another great evening at Okura. Having reviewed many times, this shoulder season review is important. Quality here does not change, excellent even when they are not slammed. Over all value: for me the best in the valley. Red Dragon Roll

Bento box with chicken and salmon, yummy! Spicy tuna roll and yellow tail roll and Poblano peppers. Our cocktails were delish! Lemon drop and Blue Hawaii. 3rd time we've eaten here and we will be going back!

Food was excellent. Mixed cocktail - not great. Wine pours good. Service great. Atmosphere is lacking because of other guests. Both tables next to us had a men in gym shorts and t-shirts and kids on phones with audio turned up and no headphones. I would pick up from there, I would not eat-in again.

just a really great place. be aware it is noisy. tables can be close together and if you don't make a reservation, go home because this place gets packed. service is fabulous: attentive and informative and friendly. food is nothing short of amazing and a solid drink list to appease any desire.

Wish I could rate the food but we never got there. My family have been going to Okura for over 15 years and always look forward to our visits. Last evening, they may have just lost us as customers. We arrived right on time for our reservation but told we had to wait. No problem - the place seemed busy so we waited in the front lobby. After about 15 minutes, we noticed there were six open seats at the sushi bar and I inquired if our party of three could just sit there and we were told "no". This seemed a bit odd because my wife and I frequently eat at the sushi bar and enjoy ourselves. After another 15 minutes (now 30 minutes past our reservation), I inquired again and received a blank stare and told "no". We ended up leaving and told the hostess to cancel our reservation since it doesn't appear a reservation makes a bit of difference anyways. My wife does not want to ever return due to the indifference shown to us. My complaint isn't with the food, atmosphere or wait staff. My complaint is with the front desk not being properly trained on communication and customer service. It would have been nice to at least get an apology for the delay and an acknowledement they knew were waiting and doing the best they can. We would have waited. But it was obvious the front staff either didn't give a sh*t or this younger generation doesn't know how to effectively communicate. My guess is it's a bit of both. So long, Okura.

It's a bit over priced. The Ambiance was good. Service was just ok. The food wasn't good enough to go again.

They stopped doing ayce due to COVID, but their fish cuts and selection for both the chirashi bowl and the Chef's choice of sashimi were very fresh and delicious! Worth trying if you want to sample a variety of fish before ordering nigiri on its own. The inside was beautifully decorated, and the service was fast and friendly. We made an RSVP through Open Table, and were seated fairly quickly.

Honestly, this was the best sushi I have had! Absolutely PHENOMENAL quality of fish, fabulous plating and display, and the service was superb! Our waitress really provided 5 star service and I would come back here any time and certainly look forward to it! The restaurant inside was beautiful and had a lovely layout and feel. My compliments to the owners, servers, wait staff, and chefs!

Very enjoyable. The service was good and the food was excellent. We had a very nice time.

The wife and I had not been back to Okura in La Quinta since they moved location from across the parking lot. We were blown away by the new atmosphere, the new items on the menu (that were new to us), and received over the top service always. It has gone into our date night rotation. They have some pretty healthy sushi options, including the naked roll and the protein roll. We tried the scallops wrapped in bacon, as well as jalapeño bombs. All were delicious.

10/10 place in everything... Beautiful place with exquisite food, mango tango it was my favorite sub but everything was great.. The service nice and the menu has variety but not that much, I think it's a great and convenient place for a good sushi night

I've been an Okura customer for years very 7 years and after I had dinner last night I thinking this is not the original restaurant that I remember. The reason I used to originally love Okura was the all you can eat. It's was magnificent and one of the best in the Coachella Valley however after covid and the new restaurant they removed the all you can eat which was disappointing but I was still a loyal customer celebrating birthdays and anniversaries there. Yesterday my reservation was at 6:45 and we where sat down with a quick server filling us with water. No one else came by for over 15 minutes for our waitress to run by and tell us she would be right with us. By the time she came by 25 minutes later we ordered food never ordered drinks other than water. When I made the reservation I stated it was my husbands birthday, no recognition of that. We ate, the cooks very very fast. Plates are smaller portions than before. Seafood gratin was served very minimal for way more money. The bidders were great and cleared the table soon. The waitress didn't her minimal job and we left feeling like dinner was nothing special. The quality and cooks are great but the service and the portions have taken a bit over the years making this restaurant feel like they are just trying to get us out the door.

Horrible experience. Waited over an hour for our food which was mediocre. We were put in the back room and forgotten about. Between service, the kitchen and overall ambiance I will not be back.

Service and good is always good. I have been a few times, in the cooler weather, and enjoy the outdoors while eating. The heating lamps do keep us warm! They do have a few options for kids, although not listed on the menu.

So I eat sushi about once a week and I'm not too picky but when I pay over $20 per roll I expect it to be pretty good. I got the Marilyn Monroe and another roll I forget the name of and the tempura was completely soggy in each roll. Also the rice was mushy and there was almost no flavor. The service was great and ambiance was really nice with a huge tree in the center of the restaurant. I tried my friends mango roll and it was also bland and very soggy tempura. Tasted like a bad all you can eat roll but was $60 for 2 rolls. I won't be back.
