Okko - (Near Hackney, london)

5 /5 Leia Malot: What a lovely surprise Okko was. My friends and I were looking for a space to accommodate us with no booking; and am I glad they found a spot for us. We had lots of bites to share; it was plenty of food to divide between 3 people. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I am thoroughly impressed in particular by the salmon nigiri - it was the best I’d ever had. I also want to praise the service; we had the sweetest waitress. She was attentive, served us with a big smile, and made us feel at home. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a low-key, cosy japanese restaurant. Super experience.

3 /5 Sharon: Came here for a birthday meal with around 10 people, they did a good job at accommodating that number of people within the space. The food was excellent, exceptional even. A real wide variety so potentially look at the menu before going. The real let down was the vibe. They told us to be quiet at one point, also took away some of our drinks while still drinking. Very quickly turned from good vibes to, get these people out of here. TLDR: great place to eat with great food. Not the choice for as the group.

5 /5 Billie Rebeiro: I visited Okko in Broadway Market with my whole family, and we were honestly blown away. The service was excellent from start to finish — so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was absolutely incredible, beautifully presented, and really well-priced for the quality. We had a mix of young kids and older kids with us, and every single one of them loved the food (a miracle in itself!). The atmosphere is relaxed but vibrant, and it felt like such a treat. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Georgia Eve: Already planning our next visit! I’m a coeliac and this is one of the best gluten-free dining experiences I’ve had. The choice of food is just incredible, and everything I ate was sublime. The hamachi jalapeño sushi was gorgeous, as was the cold char siu chicken. The stand out dish for me was miso buta kakuni - perfectly tender pork belly in miso with a lovely jammy egg. My non-coeliac partner had chicken katsu with curry sauce, and he said the chicken was the best he’s ever had. We also shared the truffle fries which were 10/10. Service was fantastic - very friendly and attentive. Food came out promptly which was great as we were starving! I cannot wait to come back for a gluten free katsu! £95 for two cocktails, two sharers, rice, sushi, katsu, fries, and service. Really good value and the portion sizes are very generous.

1 /5 Michelle Dornelly: Poor Service - Avoid This Place Went twice, same awful experience both times. They seat you at “reservation” tables without telling you upfront, then rush you to finish your food the moment it arrives. Asked if the table was reserved the second time - waitress said no, then did the exact same thing again. You can’t enjoy a meal when staff are hovering over you demanding you hurry up after you’ve already ordered and paid. There are non-reservation tables available - use them or tell customers upfront about time limits. Won’t be back. Plenty of other places that actually want your business. 1/5 stars
