" I visited Okan Diner during their happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by the deals available! I had the tempura and a few sake options. The tempura was light and not greasy, a real win for this often heavy dish. Service during happy hour was attentive, but seating was limited. I still enjoyed my time there and would recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my visit to Okan Diner! The atmosphere felt inviting, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and it was simply perfect! The flavors reminded me of my time in Japan. I’ll definitely come back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Okan Diner! My favorite dish of the night was the pork katsu curry, which was rich and tasty. The portion size was generous, too! The service was adequate, but I could see how it might vary during busier times. Definitely a place I would recommend to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience! I went for their famous beef curry and it did not disappoint. My friends ordered sushi and ramen, both of which were delicious too. We even had the pudding for dessert and it was delightful. The service was a bit slow at the beginning, but we were happy to wait for such good food. I will be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eagerly anticipating my visit but found the experience to be a bit average. The ramen was not what I had hoped for—too bland—and the service felt a bit rushed. However, the atmosphere was pleasant and it was packed, so maybe I just visited on a busy night. " (*Curated Review*)

" While my sushi roll was disappointing, the rest of the meal was pretty good! The udon had a nice texture and flavor. The atmosphere was cozy, but my overall experience was marred by the roll. The service was average, and I feel they could improve their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Okan Diner is a favorite of mine! From the moment you walk in, there's a definite authentic vibe. The tempura and udon are my go-tos, always fresh and delicious. The only downside was that it can get really crowded, affecting service times. However, I still highly recommend it for its amazing food! " (*Curated Review*)
