Okura Japanese Restaurant

I am SUCH a huge fan of Okura, it's hard to know where to start!

The sushi smells like the sea (as it's supposed to, people!), and is so buttery-soft in your mouth it makes it nearly impossible to stop eating even after you've had your fill.

Starting with the appetizers, I strongly recommend the Vegetable Gyoza - steamed! Be prepared though, there are a lot of them so save some stomach space for your entree. The Miso Soup has a thick broth with a delicate mouth-feel. Note that if you don't really like the taste of miso, you should not order this. But man-oh-man is it delicious! And lastly, I rarely go in and not order the Edamame. It's steamed to perfection!

The rolls are amazing, and there's something for everyone. Everyone! I'm having a love affair with the Dynamite roll at the moment, with it's caviar and spicy mayo, the Kamikaze roll, and the White Dragon - but the Kennett roll with it's special sauce shouldn't be overlooked.

In all the many years we've been eating at Okura, we've literally never had even a sub-par experience, let alone a poor one. If I have on criticism, it's that, though the wine selection is comprehensive, none are particularly good. I mean, unless you LIKE Kendall Jackson, in which case you'll love all their vineyard selections. My friends and I... not so much. Luckily there's the full bar option to keep us happy.

Pop in soon. You'll be delighted!

Good sushi. Perfect tea great service. Will go again

Best sushi in the area with a great atmosphere. Looking for the hottest roll ever. Ask for a crying dragon. It's not on the menu

For those that live south of Philadelphia along the I95 corridor there are numerous sushi options, but for the most part they are hit or miss. Good fish one time questionable the next, etc.

Okura consistently has great service at the sushi bar, good price points, large cuts of sushi/sashimi, and quality fish. I can't stress that last point enough as I have NEVER had something here that was suspect.

Okura is the go to place for Sushi in the Wilmington/SE Chester County area!

By far the best. Don't be fooled by the strip mall location. This husband and wife team will create eye opening dishes that will stretch your ingredient comfort level yet expand your flavor palate. This is the real deal if you let them do what they are best at.
