This is one of our favorite restaurants in the desert and happy hour was fantastic - the food, service, and reasonable! I love that you get 4 pieces in each of the rolls so you can try them all and get a taste of each without feeling overly stuffed. The shishitos were amazing too! We’ll be back! Thank you for a great dinner and evening out!

Best tacos and certainly worth the price. Service very good too. Music too loud though. I asked our server if they could tone it down and they did as it is lunch time. Service very good too.

We live in the area and eat at Okura several times a month. Very fresh and what I would judge as the best in the area. The hostesses and servers, (last night we had Maggie) are very professional and attentive. Thank you again Okura.
