Okami is a hidden gem! They serve up great sushi and hibachi and have seating available grill-side, if you would like a show with your meal! We typically opt for the all you can eat sushi menu. I realize this sounds a little crazy, but it is so good! This menu comes with soup, salad and appetizers, if you choose, and a large selection of rolls and nigiri. Their drink specials are a great deal as well.
