“ Went on Saturday for my daughter's birthday with my family and exceeded my expectations! Seated right at reservation time and overall service was great. It was our first time at the hibachi table there and really enjoyed the chef's work. Our dinners were all delicious and left us very full with leftovers! The highlight of it all was when the chef asked my son to come help him create the onion volcano. He was so patient and kind to him! Such a memorable moment for us. If Okawa reads this, please give the chef our thanks! ”

“ Okawa has been my favorite restaurant since it opened in Santee. Everything I've had there is delicious and the staff are very accommodating/friendly. The Hibachi chefs are so fun and have great personalities. It has been my birthday restaurant and I've taken multiple people there to show them and they all feel the same. I love this place! ”

“ Very delicious Japanese Habachi Resturant with good food cooked right in front of you. Great lunch specials and watch the show while you eat. You may want to make reservations as it only has a limited number of tables. Highly recommended, we will be back ”

“ Place is way better than shoguns the chefs here actually interact with you. Way more interesting will be back again not the first time I been here but my first review gotta have the noddles with medium steak also can't forget the shrimp 10/10. ”

“ This roll is delicious. It's a special called the "dream catcher". I absolutely love this place. Great service. Delicious sushi. ”

“ Okawa's lunch specials are the bomb! For about $25, you can get a steak and shrimp combo with fried rice and veggies, all while experiencing the joy of the hibachi flame. We had a party of 8 after my nephew's graduation, and the service was excellent. Super cute and quaint interior, excellent quality. ”

“ I really enjoy this place. The menu selection is great, lots of variety. The thing about going to a hibachi place is that you know what you're gonna get. I come more for the food, and less for the show. The chef we have had a few times is hilarious, and definitely master of the craft. Recently I've changed it up and tried new things. The sushi is excellent. The calamari pineapple is wonderful. Definitely different. All the seafood is well cooked, and not rubbery. Also the baby water trick makes me laugh! ”
