Okinawa Sushi & Grill
“Now that I've found this place, and they actually deliver to JC Heights, I find myself ordering at least once a week.”
“The sushi always tastes fresh and it's nice that it is a BYOB with a liquor store right in the same strip mall if you want to grab a bottle of wine.”
“We had the Oki Roll and a few tuna avocado rolls (we kept it simple) The tuna was very fresh, they did not skimp out.”

I feel extremely lucky to have this place mere blocks away from home.
All the sushi and sashimi that I've had from here has been damn fresh and delicious. Their rolls are top-notch, especially my go-to spicy ones: salmon, yellowtail, white tuna, and scallop. The portions are pretty fair and sometimes even generous, especially considering the price. No doubt, you get value here.
I typically order delivery, even though it's so close. The restaurant itself is also nice, and the service is typically great, although there were a few minor, forgivable hiccups in the past.
The only thing that's holding this place back from a full 5 stars is their dining set up. They have such nice tables, chairs, plates, sushi bar, and overall decor, yet they had to ruin it with cheap, disposable chopsticks, and paper napkin, and take out menus. Are you kidding me??
Great place with a huge selection of vegetarian sushi & hot dishes as well. The service is great & attentive.
If you want a tasty, fairly priced, low-calorie maki rolls that are prepared immediately you should hit this spot. This is my usual spot for a quick lunch special pick-up. I have eaten here many times. Spicy tuna rolls, salmon avocado rolls, tuna avocado rolls. They are consistently delicious. It's really a no brainer. They have 2 or 3 roll specials. You get 6 pieces with each order plus miso soup and salad.
The location is conveniently located within a shopping plaza which gives you a better chance to find a parking spot after all this is Hoboken.
Finally they offer BYOB which is awesome. So stop by and get your lunch special!
Ordered delivery, and it was prompt and pretty tasty. Would order again!
Ordered takeout from here a couple of times, and it was definitely my favorite spot for Sushi in Hoboken. They were always quick, fairly priced and the food never disappointed.
I've tried a number of items on the menu including pad thai, gyoza and a variety of rolls – everything was always flavorful and fresh. Was never really able to sit down for a meal but there was ample seating and parking so it seems like a good place for a group.
Sushi is great here! There are definitely some better sushi places in the city, but this place beats out any place I've tried in Hoboken, by far. I'm pretty picky about my sushi – the fish has to be fresh, the rice has to be cooked well and the right texture, the ingredients have to pair well together and be proportioned well in each roll. Okinawa meets all the criteria. It's on the pricier side, so you won't be getting one of those $20 all-you-can-eat deals, but the quality sushi is definitely worth it.
The nabeykai udon was very good – a comfort food, for sure. It had chicken, mixed veggies, fish cake, a bit of (imitation) crab, a poached egg, and two pieces of shrimp tempura on the side. I was glad the tempura was on the side so it didn't get soggy in the soup. The broth was light and very flavorful, and the chicken was still tender and not overcooked.
I've also tried the Thai Spicy Chicken, which I thought was cooked very well. It wasn't quite what I expected – it was a bit creamy and maybe a little coconut-y. Not usually my cup of tea, but I still enjoyed my meal and I think others who like those flavored would think it was even more tasty.
The service was also friendly and quick here. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. She brought out our appetizers very quickly, which we loved. Afterwards, one of our meals was brought out first and it took a long time for the other entree to come out (so neither of us were eating), maybe another 10 minutes. The waitress noticed this (without us saying anything) and came to let us know that the dish was coming and apologized for the inconvenience. She also was very nice to offer us an order of edamame on the house 🙂
Each table had fresh flowers this past time I went here – it was a nice touch. This is a casual but nice place, not too crowded, average noise level. Could be a good date spot for sushi lovers!
I can't lie, I had very few expectations of this place, walking in at 10:45 on a Saturday when they were closing at 11. After spending the entire day (12+ hours!) helping a friend pack her apartment for a move, sushi sounding amazing for my famished body, and this was the only option both open and nearby. In a starved stupor, neither of us considered the option of take out (right?! Clearly we were delusional from lack of food) – so we walked. and walked. and walked until we made it (okay, we only walked about 10 minutes, but have I established our starvation? So yes, we were a little sad when they said we could only get takeout. And yes, we bought a party platter for 2 which had chirashi, sashimi, and 2 different types of rolls, plus a salad and soup. And yes, we took that home and devoured it – only to be extremely pleasantly surprised at both the quality and quantity of our meal. Will definitely visit again if/when in the area – couldn't have been more pleased (and I can say that, knowing we didn't finish our entire meal that night and ate the rest for lunch the next day, and it was still good).
I can't believe there is a great sushi place near my place! I have ordered take-out, delivery and ate in. They haven't disappointed me yet. Sashimi and rolls were very fresh. Udon was pretty good during lunch as well. I just wish they could upgrade their restaurant menus, which were just the take-out menu.
