"I had the spicy tuna roll and yellowtail sushi by he sushi was delicious. It had a wasabi and citrus thing on it that was to die for. The roll was just a roll. (It was the one unlike donut was good). The tuna was spicy and tasted amazing!"

"This is just the second time I've been to O, despite living just down the street for nearly two years. They have a great selection of sushi as well as other Japanese dishes. I expect O will become a frequent dining spot for my husband and I."

"We always have a perfect meal when coming to O Fine. We dine here once a week, sometimes two.
We usually order:
O Roll
Sashimi Roll
Tako sashimi
Scallop sashimi
Albacore belly sashimi
The service is impeccable and the fish is always fresh. I would highly recommend any sushi lover to dine here."

"I used OpenTable to create a reservation. This was my first time to the place.
Food: Awesome! I would recommend the food
Service: Refills were monitored (which is something I use as a measuring stick), server was friendly.
Location: Good with ample parking even when busy - you may need to park 40 yards away but not bad at all.
My disappointment is: I was taking a colleague to lunch to celebrate his birthday. I put that in the opentable notes but nothing was done. I asked if something, anything, could be done. I would have appreciated if the waitress or hostess had told me up front that they don't do anything for birthdays, I would have given the guy a card or something instead. I just wish they told me.

"I was traveling with two business colleagues, and we decided to try O Fine Japanese. We had reservations for 3 at 7pm on Valentine's Day. Huge mistake. Despite showing up on time, we were given a 30-45 minute wait. The poor front desk staff looked completely overwhelmed. We figured waiting 30+ minutes was better than trying something else, so we went next door for a glass of wine. We when we returned 20 minutes later, the situation had deteriorated. We ended up waiting an hour and not getting a table - finally gave up. I have no idea if the food was good, as I assume the service wouldn't be wretched on a random day. But the place was loud, sweaty and had an unpleasant odor to it. I'm guessing there are better sushi joints in this area."

"Bento box w/teriyaki beef was thin and rubbery. California roll not good at all. We were hoping this would more upscale, but instead it was more like fast food Japanese."
