Okayama Steakhouse

Okayama is a wonderful family-owned restraunt with great staff and amazing food. Even on opening night when they were very busy and had many customers lining up to be served on their first day open, staff stayed on top of parties and tables and checked on customers regularly. There was a but of a wait for the chef (about an hour) but they served drinks and appetizers within 5 or 10 minutes after being seated, so the time went by fast. The food was phenomenal and rivaled Benihanas, in my opinion the steak and other menu items were much better even! Plus I'd rather give money to a small business with local ownership than a chain any day. Even on opening day when most restraunts are a mess, dinner was great and they were definitely ready to open!

Wow just wow!! The previous owners from the hibachi restaurant near board and brew, have continued the amazing service, food quality and atmosphere here. Seating seemed a bit cramped, but overall it was an amazing experience. The chefs were very interactive and portions were ample.

I called ahead and made a reservation for 7. Upon arriving we were promptly greeted and sat. The server who took our drink and dinner orders was quick and attentive. The chef that cooked for us was entertaining and great. My 5 year old had a blast and even got to build the onion volcano! The food was cooked well and tasted good. We look forward to returning!

Ok so here is my verdict: I would definitely come back Pros: No wait, food came out quick , Chicken had a lot of flavor and so did the shrimp. For the first time in my life I ate the noodles, would eat the noodles again. Plenty of parking Cons: Rice was a little bland needed more flavor

This is the BEST hibachi restaurant in the San Diego area. Everything is clean and new, the staff is friendly, the portions are generous, and the food is consistently amazing. We are longtime customers and will continue to be!
