Not so OK(i)s – I've been to Oki's a number of times over the last 10 years but after my last meal there I think that's it unless they fix things. It's sad that it was at one point the best Japanese Steakhouse in R.I. Walking into Oki's it was dirty, dark and dismal. We ordered hibachi and everything was dirty. The lighting is horrible, I think they may have had someone from the Cadillac Lounge set it up for them. The hibachi had a big patch of food (rice I think) from the last group still stuck in the middle of the grill. E... read more

REVOLTING! – My husband and I went to Oki because I bought a Groupon… The first impression was – shabby décor, plastic dishes on the tables, very dark – later I found out that there was a reason – they do not want us to see the dirt or poor quality of food. I It looks like they do not like Groupon users very much – starting with the host (or the owner?) who met us at the door and kind of pointed to the group of tables – “pick any table”, to the not very friendly waitress who, I felt was irritated by our mere presence . When ... read more

Love it every time! – My boyfriend and I visit Oki's all the time. The staff is wonderfull and so is the service! We eat both sushi and hibachi. I love the salad, soup and the sauce is the best. The bar area is great but I do admit the hibachi area needs upgrading. I personally love the fact they are not located in providence. Parking is easier and its right off the highway. I also go with groups from work and have never been disappointed. We have also been to many other hibachi/sushi places in RI and this is def one of my f... read more

Review – I have to say it could use a facelift but the food was excellent. I would go back more often but a little pricey for an every weekend kind of place to eat out at

Oki has gone downhill and very dirty – I have been going to Oki for over 30 years. I went last week and was disappointed. It is very difficult to get past how dirty it is. As your walking on the tile floor or standing there waiting, the dirt is just caked on and is disgusting. The hibachi area is the same. The keep it very dark for a reason. Our other disappointment is that the prices have gone up and the portions have gone down. For instance they cut way down on the vegatables. How much can zuchini be. On a positive note, t... read more

Good food but going downhill – I have been going to Oki's for many years (20+) and I have to say that in that time things have changed that shouldn't have. The portions are a lot smaller than they used to be.. the salad is lame but the dressing is excellent. The decor in the bar is very techno and modern but the hibachi part of the restaurant is dingy and old looking, I think they still have the original carpeting! The chefs are excellent but I can't understand them when they speak. The sushi is ok but, I have had better. Th... read more

Terrible – I have been going to Oki Steakhouse for at least 10 years now. The staff is ok, the food is good but a day later you are felling sick from it, and to top it off the place is dirty and dingy...there are a few other Habachi places in RI and are much nicer, better food, and cleaner

there are other places to go first... – I have mixed reviews. The environment and atmosphere was fantastic - but I think it had everything to do with the people I was with and our hibachi chef. Not the best location - no is it in the best shape - so if you are looking for an appealing outside appearance you will not find it. Food wise - was not at all impressed with the sushi. Was more vegetarian inclined than I was used to - with less than traditional combinations. The spicy tuna roll made my boyfriend sick for the entire n... read more

Coupon Scam – I used to like the restaurant, but their 2-for-1 dinner special is a scam. My wife and I went with our daughter and when we got the bill, we found they had taken the kid's meal off (rather than the lesser of the adult meals). I complained and was told that was the owner's policy - even though it isn't mentioned on the coupon card.
