Great sushi can be found here in Jackson. This friendly spot is right across from Safeway in the same shopping center.

I literally wish I could eat here every day.
You would think that it wouldn't be that good because it's in a small town but boy, it is divine!
The staff is wonderful and they are very quick to serve you. We are actually on a first name basis with them.
There miso soup is heavenly and all of their rolls are creative, fresh, and plated beautifully. My favorite is the Spicy Killer Roll with tuna, avocado cilantro, their special dressing and a thinly sliced jalapeno on top. The prices for the rolls are very reasonable and run from $9-15. And be sure to save room for the tempura banana with green tea icecream! YUMMMMM!
You really can't go wrong with having lunch or dinner here. -

I like Sushi and great to have a Japanese Resturant in Jackson and along Hwy 49.
Service was slow, the staff made no eye contact and felt like I was a number vs a guest.
I had one roll Special Number One $12.95.
Modern, nice decor, windows were leaking and doorway was locked do to the storm.
Spend some time with your customers, be friendly.
Tuna tasted like it was out of a can. -

Local foodies were ecstatic to finally have a sushi place in the county, and one that can make decent specialty rolls even. Unfortunately there have been a few problems with insects and at least one less than great health dept. report. When it comes to sushi, those kinds of problems loom even larger than usual and at times the service slips a bit also, but if a sushi craving hits while you're in the tri-county area, this is your best bet, and usually your only one. It's still very popular here.

Wish there was a 0 star!!! I received my food and got so angry! I ordered the Sashimi lunch...4 pieces of sashimi, 3 pieces of cali roll, a mountain mound of rice, salad, soup for 11.95. In my opinion....4 pieces of sashimi and 3 pieces of cali roll are the only things that really count...and 11.95 for that???? I may just be a fat kid who wants more food, but common, you can't give a huge bento box without it being filled with food!!! There was like 3 spots of the box empty. It was sad....I was so furious that I left and walked over to Safeway...got a drumstick and some meditteranean salad there.
Horrible.... -

We've been to Oko Sushi many times since it opened. It has a clean, comfortable decor, with the choice of table service or the sushi bar.
The miso soup is very good. Not too salty. It is probably one of the best I have had. I love the fresh edamame.
They have some really good rolls here. My son and I love the Mt. Fuji. They have very good California rolls. The rice is just right. The Spicy Crispy Tuna is really good. A bit of heat and the crunch of the tempura make a nice combination. The Lemon Dream is also one of our favorites. It is filled with crab salad and avocado and cilantro, topped with scallop and paper thin lemon slices. UMMMM! Very addicting. The Chris roll is another stand out.
The fish is very fresh here and I have never found it to have a fishy smell or taste.
The tempura is decent but a bit bland and the batter could be a little lighter. My son thinks the tempura shrimp are the best!
The teriyaki is just OK. The Katsudan is very good and we also find the Sesame Chicken to be an excellent version of this popular dish.
The service is really friendly and accommodating even when we bring our children.
Overall a really nice place to have in Jackson. -
Review from J J.

Sashimi was thawed frozen fish. It was not a good experience even after I doused it in wasabi. Once I caught my nostrils on fire with my attempt to over compensate. California rolls that came with my dinner were small and just o.k. and the salad consisted of one tomato on top of lettuce. The Tempura was rubbery. But, here's what topped off the experience...
Two very loud women decided to practice for a medical exam while they sat at the sushi bar (apparently regulars because they were on a first-name basis with the staff). They used index cards and yelled the questions and answers back and forth. Absoultely no house-training, whatsoever! And, I thought people with cell phones in restaraunts were annoying!
True Conversation:
Woman 1: You know, like It means bodily excretion
Woman 2: Defecation
Woman 1: Yeah, yeah---now spell it
Woman 2: D-I-F-E-C-A-T-I-O-N
They continued to quiz each other on the intestinal tract. The waiter, sushi chef, and waitress---OMG, even the other customers who likely were regulars-were all oblivious. Maybe backwoods country folk (except for us) turn a deaf ear to terms such as flatulence, diarrea, and bile. Fortunately, we were only sipping miso by time they were wrapping it up.
Food + ambiance = 1 Star -

Review from Pippi L.

This was recommended a dozen times when we were in Amador.
We finally tried it on the last day. The bento lunch boxes are okay, they are generous with the ribeye and the rice in the teriyaki bento, but the California roll=3 pieces and they weren't much. I know California rolls aren't exciting, but that's what they offered with the bento. They were bad enough that I didn't need to sample anything else from the sushi bar. It was pollock sticks, not crab, and there was no wasabi or cuke on the roll. Very blah.
The ribeye was thick and a really nice, generous cut, but the sauce was waaaaayyyy too sweet and thick. Yuck. If I ever go back, I'll say no sauce.
We had been to I Heart Teriyaki next door 2 times this week, and were told it was a "Friendchise" by the server. They had their own recipe for the marinade that is different than the ones I've been to in Sacramento. Basically, they served a great bulgogi "teriyaki beef" that I recommend over the meal for the same price at Oko. I heart Teriyaki was much more flavorful, and still sweet from the marinade, without being sopping.
I did enjoy the service at Oko, the food was just okay, and the bathroom was exceptionally clean. Overall, a 3.
9.00 for the bento meal lunch special. I gave my meat away at the end of the meal because it was a lot of food.
Next time I am up in Amador I am going to Taste of Plymouth, I hear it's amazing. -

Went to Oko Sushi last night in Jackson, CA. I think it's pretty new and for Jackson to have a sushi place, it's a pretty big deal. In case you've never been to Jackson, it is a out of the way mountain/mining town.
The sushi was pretty good. I got the tiger roll. The sticky rice was a tiny bit too sticky, but the flavor was great.
My hubby got a bento box and it had gyoza in it. Holy cow! The best flavor ever! Of course, I've been dieting for almost a whole week now (sacrifice, I know), so anything probably would taste good. And I did only eat one.
Good service, and friendly staff.
I'd definately go back! -

This place doesn't even deserve one star. Service sucked. We waited 20 minutes to get our drinks. Finally we got up and left. It was that bad.

When you live in Jackson, CA, you just assume you're going to eat like crap with all of the fast food joints pawing at your car as you lollygag down highway 88 or 49 behind the old ladies in their Pintos with freshly frosted hairdos. And be careful, those ladies don't stop for NOBODY! It's not really their fault, they just can't see anymore.
When you realize your quality eating options in Amador county are limited to about 4 restaurants, you need not panic. Stop by Oko Sushi for relief! Not only is the food good, but the staff is very friendly. Peter Ha is one of the funniest and nicest guys in the county. -

The tall Chinese chef who was picking his nose and thought we weren't watching him cannot make nigiri . We sent it back and left the restaurant.

This was my second time at oko and it was a good repeat. Not the absolute best sushi I've had but there's a ton of wonderful places that are near me. I had the happy family roll and the catalina roll. Both were good and filling. It's a little pricy but we had good service during our lunch even with a seven week baby in tow. If you need a sushi fix in Jackson go for it.

Let me start with the rating--4 stars compared to sushi restaurants at large; 5 stars compared to restaurants in Amador County generally.
Oko Sushi is an excellent sushi restaurant. Our family has had excellent food every time we visit--and we go at least once a month. Their specials are excellent, and their lemon dream and puff daddy's are particularly great. The tempura is also great; crispy, with fresh vegetables, and an excellent dipping sauce.
An added bonus is the wait staff; friendly and attentive.
Definitely worth a try, and if you like sushi, then worth visiting monthly! -

This is my absolute favorite place to go for lunch dinner or any time. If you go for a first time getting the green tea ice cream for dessert is a must. As far as the food goes, the Amador Roll is my favorite, and the gyoza are amazing, they are nice a crispy on the outside and juciy and tender inside, not doughy and mushy like in Chinese restaurants.
