Really great menu. Everything we ordered was delicious and a good portion size. Service was great, especially considering how big the restaurant is and how much is going on. Had such a good time that I left my credit card at the restaurant, and the hostess called me about it right away. Thanks Okaru team

1st time here & let me tell you this restaurant was absolutely amazing. The service was top notch. Food & drinks were a 10/10. The vibe was great. Thank you for your hospitality and we will absolutely be back.

Absolutely phenomenal service and atmosphere the progressive unique sake and raw menue is excellent

Host made sure we were seated on time even though the intended table was occupied. Pacing and service were spot on as well. Could use a Nigiri meal option that is comparable to the Sashimi variety. 🍣

Great food. We waited a while to get a table even with reservations. People with the same party size who showed up 10-15 minutes after us were seated before us. But the food and our waiter were great. Still give it 5 stars. Highly recommend the Omakase dinner and the bread pudding and Matcha Affogato for dinner

Love the infrastructure, ambience, amenities. Excellent craftsmanship. The food was great but the service was excellent. The waiter had excellent recommendations. Robert the GM was attentive. It was pleasant evening.

Unique experience, everything is well made On the expensive side but quality as well!

This place is really fantastic. Food, service and ambiance is a solid 10 all around. I live in Manhattan, and I would definitely come out to Roslyn just for this restaurant. The owner has Bond St in the city, but Okaru is far superior - I think. I'd go as far as saying it's better than Nobu!

Exceptional vibe highlighted with Wabi Sabi decor. Creative fresh dishes and great nightly specials.

Beautiful restaurant valet parking was easy. I really want to complement the chef and the entire team making our experience fabulous. Every dish was delicious and proper . I love the artistic edge to the environment will definitely be coming back

Food was absolutely incredible! The sushi was so fresh and delicious, had the soft shell crab and and whole lobster for dinner, and the whiskey bread pudding for dessert. Everything was unbelievable! Atmosphere was also great. Highly recommend

Had one of my favorite dinners ever at Okaru last night! The food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing and I can't wait to go back.

I went to Okaru for Valentines Day and had the most amazing experience. My server Lois was the sweetest person ever. She recommended some of the best sushi, appetizers, and dessert options. The food and atmosphere overall were excellent. Highly recommend

We came here to celebrate our anniversary & we were taken care by Natalia, the manager. We had made reservations 3 weeks before coming and it was very packed as it was Saturday night — but Natalia saved the night by being so attentive and getting us seated. Every single staff member was sweet and professional— and the food was absolutely phenomenal. Will be back soon! The wonderful night would not have been possible without Natalia and the team, people like Natalia make a huge difference when it comes to the customers wanting to visit again and again.

Okaru is an elite establishment featuring a stunning interior with exceptional staff. So many creative and fun options to try from the menu like the Big Eye Tuna Tarts and both the Crispy Spicy Bass and Shrimp bites. My Lamb Chops had great flavor and sides, and both desserts were delicious!

The restaurant itself is quite modern and elegant, the aesthetics here shine. The staff checked us in and brought us to our table with zero wait, I cannot stress how nice and refreshing that is. The hot towels were a nice touch. The drinks came quickly and the appetizers as well. The sashito peppers and the edamame were good and the salad although simple were excellent. The sushi rolls were properly presented and everything tasted fresh. The wait staff was excellent and very attentive. While waiting for the valet the manager personally came outside and reviewed our experience. In all my time, I’ve never experienced that level of attention, very impressed. I would definitely give Okaru a try.

Excellent in every way. Almost refreshing experience. Loved the oysters and I don’t even eat oysters. Highly recommend reserving brunch and asking to place your order for their matcha souffle pancakes ahead of time as its apparently very laborious. I would go here over Toku any day.

I ate here last night for the first time with a few friends, and we'll definitely be going back. Some of the dishes were downright amazing: Chicken Katsu Steamed Bun, Grilled Octopus, Seared Hokkaido Scallops, Mushroom Rice Gohan, and both the Tuna and Caviar Crispy Rice all are going to be things I'd order again -- or even go back specifically for. I also need to give a shout-out to two of the specials: The Wagyu Gyoza were amazingly crispy on one side and soft and tender otherwise. Fantastic texture and flavor. We rolled the dice with the Foie Gras and Seared Akami Tuna. Turns out those two things work incredibly well together! The dishes I'd give a pass next time were the Spicy Crispy Shrimp and Avocado Crispy Rice. Neither was bad, just compared to everything else they fell short. For dessert, the Whiskey Bread Pudding was excellent, and I got a Matcha Affogato which was delicious. We also ordered the "Omakase" option on the menu as well as some nigiri pieces and rolls. All of the fish was of high quality, and the rice was beyond reproach. If you like uni, then definitely get the uni here. They said it's from Hokkaido and I 100% believe them; it was some of the best I've had. (I put omakase in quotes above because that's what it's called on the menu, but presumably the Chef's Grand Tasting Menu and just the Tasting Menu would also fall under the omakase category. So it's a bit of a weird naming convention, IMO.) On the sake list we tried two Okaru exclusive bottles (possibly re-badged?), and both were great: Great Wave and Black Label, both Junmai Ginjo. Service was fast and efficient. No complaints there. Prices are high, but I feel like it was good value for money. They seem to be using commensurately expensive ingredients, and spending time on prep and presentation. The interior decor is beautiful, but the only downside to the restaurant comes with all the wood and hard surfaces. When we got there, the dining room was pretty full, and it was loud enough to make conversation difficult. But not a big deal considering how good the meal was otherwise; It didn't detract from our experience overall.

Okaru was incredible 🤍 The vibes, the service, the food everything was perfect. The sushi was so fresh, the crispy rice was unreal, and every dish tasted even better than it looked. Such a beautiful spot for a cozy date night. 100% coming back. ✨🍣

What a great experience we had in Okaru, located in the heart of Roslyn Village. From the impeccable service to the food to the ambience, Okaru has made a leaping progression since opening. Food: We ordered four appetizers, love them all. Spicy yellowtail sashimi, steamed lobster gyoza, spicy crispy seabass is crispy yet melt-in-your-mouth tender (our fav!) and seared Hokkaido scallops were all perfectly cooked. For entrees we had mushroom rice gohan, red miso lamb chop, salmon aburi handroll, snow crab handroll, bluefin Toro Roll, spicy king crab roll, seared salmon aburi roll. Beside the lamb chops was a little to the bland side, everything was really great! Dessert didn’t disappoint either. We ordered four and love all four! Japanese whiskey bread pudding was the star!!!! Services: Compared to our last experience with Okaru six months ago, this time both the services and food have elevated a lot! The restaurant was packed as usual but we got seated in the main dining room in less than five minutes. Staffs are friendly, attentive and professional. The hostess, Flora, greet us with warmth. The manager, Natalia, came by our table making sure everything is good and that we have a good time. It was a surprise birthday celebration for my husband, who coincidentally also had an impromptu conference call an hour into the dinner. So timing was a little tight. Although the service was quick and our food came out pretty fast, my husband still needed to leave the seat and stepped out for a conference call towards the end of the dinner. I told our hostess Flora about this situation and she helped me coordinating with my waitress Ally, who’s very attentive and pleasant, as well as the kitchen staffs, making sure dessert and cake with candle will be brought out as soon as my husband came back to our table. This attentive service on a busy night def made Okaru stand out in this wildly competitive restaurant district. Will def come back!

I swear every time we go, it gets better and better. The fish is so fresh and delicious. The manager Rob is the best manager we have ever met. The service is impeccable. Love this place so much. The dessert tower is so pretty too 🍨

I been to lots of Japanese locations in my life and I have to say this is the top one. The tomahawk out beats any stake house in long island and the fish that they have is fresh of the fresh. The oyster its one of the best i have had in a very long time.

Unparalleled experience, the flavors, and thoughtful presentation. Delicious all around and the waiters were seamless, didn’t miss a beat and felt very cared for! I sat at the sushi bar and what a treat to see the beautiful works of art they’re creating. Second time here and will come again! Plus the music and overall atmosphere is always a good vibe!

I went out here with a few girlfriends and wasn’t expecting to eat so much being vegetarian but was wowed by the amount of vegan options and by how good they all were! Highlights were the mushroom salad (even from those who ate all the fish/sushi), heirloom tomato carpaccio, avocado crispy rice and the Japanese eggplant hand-roll. The biggest highlight of the night though was dessert. It’s hard to choose my favorite but if you can only pick a couple, go with the matcha crepe cake or chocolate soufflé. Definitely would go back just to have more desserts! Big compliments to the pastry chef! On top of all of the amazing food- the service was really stand out- with servers knowing and verifying all dietary preferences and giving great recommendations. Our group also appreciated that we could actually hear our dinner conversation and didn’t have to yell over loud music or other tables- the vibes were just right. An overall great experience!

As someone who lives in NYC, I’m always looking for restaurants with both great ambiance and great food - and that’s not always easy to find on Long Island. But Okaru in Roslyn completely exceeded expectations. The service was incredible. Our server was kind, attentive, and truly wanted to make sure we had a great experience. As someone with celiac, I was also so impressed by how seriously they took my gluten allergy - most of the menu could be made gluten-free, and I felt totally safe and taken care of. We started with the warm Japanese mushroom salad - such a good way to kick things off. The spicy yellowtail sashimi was amazing (next time I’m getting the king salmon), and the crab crispy rice, salmon tobanyaki, and mushroom gohan rice were all so flavorful and satisfying. Sushi was super fresh too - great fish quality. The biggest surprise was dessert: the summer berries kakigori. I didn’t expect much from something described as shaved ice, but it was infused with grapefruit?, yuzu, and berries and ended up being the table favorite - even over the chocolate dessert. Whether you're gluten-free or not, Okaru is a total standout - delicious food, great vibe, and an experience worth repeating.

Tomas is an amazing waiter who provided exceptional service and amazing menu suggestions. He really made our dinner special. The food here is phenomenal and great quality. You will not be disappointed. Ambiance is luxury and beautiful, perfect for a date night! Highly recommended Okaru!!

The food and service was excellent! The restaurant was fully booked on a Saturday night so highly recommend reservations. Our waiter made excellent recommendations and we enjoyed each item we ordered. As a huge lychee martini enthusiast - it was perfect here. The sushi was high quality and presentation was excellent! We will be back for sure!

The decor and ambiance was exquisite. The chef ventured out in the main dining room and the general manager, Daniel, afforded us a welcoming and informative conversation during our meal. The food was prepared with great attention to detail and arrived at the perfect temperature to table. All items we ordered were extremely tasty and satiating. In fact, it was so good that my wife came back the next day and ran into our neighbors who also returned the subsequent day.

Wow! Everything we had here tonight was incredibly delicious and fresh, tried a little bit of everything which we believe was the right approach. Ambiance is quiet and dimly lit but it's nice inside. Valet options out front of course, solid cocktail menu and amazing sushi rolls stood out amongst our selections for the night. We tried some of the chef specials as well, everything was great , pics will not do it justice.

Had a fantastic dinner here tonight. Mathew our waiter was so knowledgeable and detailed when we asked what he suggests we try on the menu. Amazing staff, so sweet, sophisticated ambience yet sexy, and the food is top tier. So impressed by the options on the menu and there is plenty of options for a scallop and uni lover like me!!! Uni was incredible I could tell the quality of it was the Japanese grade uni and not the crappy California kind. We are new to the neighborhood and it’s very unfortunate for my boyfriend that this was so good because we will be back here probably too often.

Top notch experience. Service is excellent upscale/steak house level. Waitstaff were very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and had great suggestions. The decor is very nice and outdoor seating has heaters to keep temperature comfortable. Food was equally amazing. My party ordered the Spicy Crispy Seabass (8/10), Tuna Crispy Rice (8.5/10), Sake Braised Short Rib (8.5/10), Blue Fin Toro sushi roll (7.5/10), Salmon Kimchee sushi roll (8.5/10), Chillean Sea Bass entree (10/10). There is also municipal parking directly next to the restaurant in addition to valet service offered. Very helpful if you are familiar with Roslyn and how dicey parking can be. Overall would recommend 100%!

Very nice upscale, clean, good service. Drinks are excellent. Sushi rolls are good, I had the shrimp tempura roll and smelled rancid. The waffle and chicken wasn't worth what I paid for. The omlete and rolls like spicy salmon were good. Overall I enjoyed my experience and will return.

Okaru – Roslyn, NY 8.5/10 The atmosphere buzzed with life—tables filled with conversation and music playing just loud enough to feel the vibe without drowning out talk. Lighting was dim but thoughtfully done, casting a warm and cozy glow that made the space feel intimate and upscale. The staff was attentive and genuinely eager to please, guiding us through the menu with knowledge and friendliness. That said, there’s still room for some fine-tuning in terms of timing and fluidity—small service hiccups that, once addressed, would elevate the experience to match the sleek setting. To start, the crispy rice with avocado was a standout—light, crunchy, and generously topped. It was noticeably better than the version served just up the road at Toku, which tends to feel heavier and less refined. For the main course, the steak entrée was perfectly executed—juicy, tender, and seared with precision. However, the Chilean sea bass, while cooked well, lacked the bold flavors or visual flair you’d expect from a premium dish and ended up feeling underwhelming compared to the rest of the menu. Dessert, thankfully, closed the night on a high note. The banana dessert was rich without being cloying, and the bread pudding was warm, pillowy, and fresh—clearly made in-house and served with care. Overall, Okaru is a strong new addition to Roslyn’s dining scene, offering flashes of excellence and a cool, inviting vibe. With a few adjustments, it has the potential to be a go-to spot for both casual nights out and special occasions.

We celebrated our anniversary as first time guests, reservation on Saturday night. I’d say I initially felt slighted as we were denied a corner table that could have technically seated 3. Hostess explains they need to save in case they get 3 guests, then seats 2 guests there 5 minutes later. Thankfully, the server and staff more than made up for it by providing stellar service and good recommendations as we tasted our way through several plates some that stood out were green salad and fried chicken bao bun. Overall a nice evening, in a beautiful new addition to Roslyn Village

The food was absolutely outstanding! It was everything we expected and more. The service was a little delayed and the atmosphere a little cramped (which I would have even rated less...but the FOOD!) My new favorite spot

Came here on an early Friday night for dinner. The food was good. Ordered the big eye tuna tart and it was excellent. The foie Gras with blue fin tuna was also very good as well. The mushroom and rice was good but a bit salty for my taste. The sashima set was very good as well.

OKARU (Roslyn) — personal review I went with a group of three and we did the tasting menu at $195 per person. Overall, it was enjoyable and polished, but slightly overpriced for what you get—more “special night out” pricing than a clear value play. Atmosphere & setting The strongest part of the experience is the space itself. OKARU is set up as a modern Japanese-inspired restaurant with a distinctly calm, design-forward vibe. The room feels intentional—clean lines, warm lighting, and a well-designed, upscale ambience that makes it feel like a destination rather than just another sushi spot. It’s the kind of place that immediately signals “date night / celebration.” Drinks We tried: • Okaru Spritz • Yen Zen • Old Fashioned They were good across the board—balanced, well-made, and easy to drink—but, like the food, they felt a bit overpriced relative to what was in the glass. You’re paying for the program and the room. Food — highlights and what stood out In addition to the tasting menu, we also had: • Snow crab sushi — clean, nicely put together, and satisfying. • Seaweed salad — solid, familiar, nothing wrong with it. • Pumpkin soup — comforting and well-executed; a nice change of pace from the colder/raw items. From the tasting menu, the clear standout was: • Tuna with foie gras and pear — easily the best bite of the night. The richness of the foie gras paired with the tuna, and the pear adding a subtle sweetness, made it feel the most “wow” and the most memorable course. Overall Great ambience, strong presentation, and a few genuinely excellent bites, but the $195 tasting menu (and cocktails) land a little high for the overall experience. If you go, I’d go for the atmosphere and that tuna/foie/pear moment—just don’t expect it to feel like a bargain.

I had a great experience at Okaro Roslyn. The food is truly impressive — the pizza tuna was one of my favorites, the sushi is extremely fresh, and the seabass was delicious and had a texture almost like rock shrimp. The standout dish for me was the spicy tuna crispy rice. It’s honestly the best I’ve ever had — the rice is softer than most places, which makes the bite perfect. Definitely a 10/10 dish. The only downside is that the drinks are very expensive, so just keep that in mind. Otherwise, the food and overall experience were excellent. Would 100% come back!

We celebrated some big family wins at Okaru with a 5 PM reservation. Heads-up: they require a credit card hold, and there’s a $35/person fee for cancellations within 24 hours — fair, but worth noting. The space is stunning, valet is convenient, and service was friendly (shoutout to Bryant). However, the restaurant is very loud inside — they’d benefit from adjusting the bass for a better dining experience. Drinks were hit or miss. The Lychee Martini was funky (3/10), but the Lady 0 with sake was fantastic (10/10). Food-wise, standout dishes included the foie gras & tuna special (10/10), tuna crispy rice (10/10), and mushroom gohan (8/10). Sushi rolls, however, were disappointing — mostly bland and mushy. Desserts were solid, especially the summer berries kakigori and green tea mille crepe. Overall: 7/10. A trendy spot with some highlights, but for a $700+ bill, we expected more. Worth trying once, but better food/value can be found elsewhere on the island.

The food is always great, I’m a frequent visitor and I love the bar staff, they need to do better at the hostess but normally everyone else is pleasant to deal with, they also don’t answer the phone to any reservation issue on Sundays. “They are too busy”

Certainly overrated. The food is only slightly above average at most, while the prices are quite excessive. I likely won’t come back here. I've had better sushi at Kotobuki in Hauppauge, Arata in Syosset, and Toku in Manhasset. Still, I wanted to give it a try since it’s the newest spot.

We came to this place with high hopes as we had heard a lot about it. However we were very disappointed. They are short on servers. The drinks for few in our party of 6 didn't arrive for 30 minutes. The server was quite rude. It was difficult to find any server for just little things.. No one is accountable. Even the manager wasn't much help. We left after the appetizers and without drinks. Don't think we will be coming back here again.
