I hope you're not planning to dine in because this place has like 4 or 5 tables inside! It's more of a take-out place and it's a good one at that. If Asians sell KBBQ Chipotle-style, this would be it. I ordered everything on their menu for a big family dinner and I liked almost all of them. The ginger chicken with garlic rice combination takes the crown for me. It tasted super delicious and made me feel like I'm getting all the good nutrients. It's very light and healthy. The corn salsa is also another ingredient I recommend. I thought bibimbap would taste good but unfortunately, that one is at the bottom of my list. I like that touch of fresh mint leaves with the grilled meat. The smell and taste were heightened by it. I live 20 minutes away and placed the order online before heading out. When I got there, all my food was ready. Parking can be a challenge as there aren't that many spots but people aren't there for too long because this place is signed to be taken out. There isn't much décor or staff for you to experience. Food would be your main focus here.

Pretty solid I got the Hawaiian bowl with Korean pork. It comes with rice, pickled carrots and horsey, cucumber. I opted for the chili oil but it didn't need it. I also got a extra vat of pickled carrots and horsey The thing I didn't dig was the order kiosk. Not a fan of the lack of personal connection, especially when it's a small local place. Parking is free in the lot. It's next to meowkja meowkja if you have trouble spotting it They have a bathroom which is clean and they have fob attached to a stapler to open it. Overall, if you're in the area check it out!

MTO fresh meat and plenty of toppings! Easy ordering at a kiosk, this is like a Korean-Hawaiian fusion chipotle. They give you a lot of rice so mix your bowl really well so you get even bites of topping/rice. The Hawaiian-ish comes with mac salad which is one of my faves. The creaminess pulls it all together topped with the pineapple fish sauce. The spicy cucumber is marinated very well- quality of Korean restaurant banchan. Limited indoor seating but still can eat there while it's fresh. Hidden gem don't look past it!

Very easy lunch kind of like an Asian Chipotle. The food was pretty good but my food was a little cold. Would definitely come back I enjoyed the Vietnamese fusion.

I love "BYOB" type places, and when I heard about Okonomi, I had to give this a try! The Food: I had to try the Korean Chicken bowl + Garlic Fried Rice. All the toppings looked so good, but I only got the ones that I frequently eat. I had to add the mac salad to my bowl as well. The food looked hot nd fresh as well, which is a plus. Overall, all the ingredients and toppings were cooked well with full of flavor! And they pack the bowl nicely and generously too! The Service: Service was great! Was greeted by staff and they were all friendly and welcoming. Service was pretty fast when I was there, so no long wait times. The Atmosphere: Plenty of seating inside. The space is nice and clean. No complaints. Overall, a 5/5! Highly recommend Okonomi, I'll be back again for sure

Had the hawaiian-ish bowl. The pork was very good, the flavor went great with the rice, veggies and mac. I did find the mac a little watery and lacking flavor. The pork compensated and balanced the bowl. I'll be back to try something else.

I wanted something casual but good quality food. Then I remembered this place that Keith Lee reviewed a few months back. Excited to try the food and was haplysith the result. I got double chicken for my Hawaiian bowl. The cucumber and do Chua were very fresh, lots of places tend to just throw vegetables on dishes just for the sake. The mac salad was solid, I have no complaints there. The chicken was flavorful and to blend it all with the pineapple fish sauce was definitely a good call.

I was influenced by Keith Lee to review this establishment. Okonomi is not a chain despite having that build your own bowl concept like most fast-casual chains do. In my opinion, this place is worth visiting since you get so much food here. Funny enough when I got here there were alot of signs where I'd have to order online so I did. Waited in the car about 15-20 minutes and my order was ready. Thinking they would just be take out only, I went inside to find out I could have just walked in instead! It's okay though, I was just being precautious knowing the hype could have made the wait longer. I got the Hawaiian-ish bowl which consisted of Korean Chicken, Hawaiian Mac Salad, Do Chua, Cucumbers, Togarashi pepper flakes on Jasmine Rice. You also do get a choice of sauce so I got the Pineapple Fish Sauce too. Since I was able to sit down I decided to review on the spot. The bowl first of all is gigantic for what you pay for. It is absolutely heavy and think that's a plus for how much food you are getting for. The food was delicious and with the fish sauce the bowl reminded me of Com Tam. It's a Vietnamese Rice Dish that also used fish sauce but different. The Mac Salad was also great and the amount of rice they give you is also very generous; I was tempted to just get garlic fried rice instead but I think rice with fish sauce was a better choice. I also did get the Vietnamese Coffee... and I would not recommend it. It's not a lot for how much you pay for and it feels like you are paying for a shot of it. Maybe that's just me but the cup is small and when comparing to other places I could get more for the same price somewhere else. Okonomi Asian Grill is still great as a lunch/dinner option. I hope this place succeeds!

Okonomi needs more recognition!! It's a great place to grab a quick and filling bite to eat. You can't go wrong with any of their options but my personal favorites are the Korean pork and Korean chicken. It's basically an Asian chipotle with a smaller, but wayyyyy tastier menu. The restaurant itself is very barebones but it's the food that counts. One thing I real like is that they have deals with other local restaurants like TeaDM and offer discounts to students, teachers, and military. Bubble tea and Okonomi is the perfect lunch combo. Please do yourself a favor by supporting a local business and leaving with a happy and full belly at the same time!
