Okatshe - Allentown (PA)

5 /5 Nick Krivosh: A new, very nice and modern restaurant with a sushi bar and great cocktails. The Tokyo Drift and their Old Fashions were delicious. Their sushi rolls and shareables were all great, especially their wings and seared salmon. The menu was quite large with a lot of different sushi, small plates and some large plates to choose from. The servers were all great and very attentive as well. Ill definitely have to come back and try their Japanese saki.

5 /5 Jeff Crum: Happen to stumble upon this place, by staying at the hotel next to it. The bar staff was absolutely amazing! Janell and Alona will serve up the perfect drink to complement your meal. I tried the Okastshe Old Fashioned, which was beyond perfect! For dinner I had a very traditional rainbow roll and some Miso soup. The fish was fresh, and delicious and very well paired with the Okastshe Old Fashioned. The menu includes small bites, traditional Nigiri, Sashimi, and Maki. Plus there are plenty of small bites as well as several other dishes like an amazing ribeye! Plus everything is reasonably priced! I can’t wait to come again!

5 /5 LOR D: Lovely restaurant in a warm and inviting Tokyo decor . Restaurant has very comfortable seating and a nice large bar area with great drinks and some outdoor seating as well. Service is fast and friendly with a kind and helpful staff. We tried the salmon tataki, tuna on crispy rice , yellowtail hamachi jalapeno rolls, and nigiri . All the dishes were very good and delicious and prepared beautifully. Nice menu with something for everyone and desserts too. Prices as expected on the higher side but food is good. We enjoyed our visit and meal. Love the Japanese music which added an authentic touch. Great spot to try.

5 /5 Richard W: Americanized Asian-inspired food with a ridiculously good value Happy Hour. Overall, I enjoyed the experience (thanks for the excellent bar service!) but the food’s too heavy and greasy for my preferences. I wondered why mayo ever needed to be on chirashi or ribs. The menu should suit the American palate, though, as evidenced by the extremely busy restaurant. The best thing to get is the shishito-infused Lion’s Head cocktail. This cocktail’s made for those who love grassy NZ sauvignon blanc. As for the food, I’d recommend the tender fall-off-the-bone ribs but ask for no mayo. The wings needed way less oil (check salt-and-pepper Chinese dishes for reference on how to improve this dish). The kakigori should be skipped. I’m very picky about kakigori as it’s my favorite dessert. This one was a sno-cone with ice cream. The texture’s completely wrong. It’s disgustingly sweet.

5 /5 Ami Lanning: Tried this last night with family. Wow, what a fun and delicious experience! Great drink menu, with food selections where everyone will find something they like. Between us, we had the wings, ribs, shishito peppers, lobster taco, sashimi plate, and several à la carte sushi pieces along with rolls. Service was great - they were awesome with accommodating an allergy. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The vibe is intimate yet fun. Can’t wait to go back.
