Creative Sushi Rolls and Sweet BBQ Katsu
Grab a Pink Lady roll and a warm cup of yuzu sake at a swift Japanese spot with quick walk in seating in Manhattan.
🍶 Rolls With A Warm Finish
Okinii takes the roll list well past the basics, with house creations like the Thompson and the Pink Lady sharing the menu with crispy shrimp tempura. Sushi, sashimi, and ramen fill out the rest, and a full bar plus warming cups of hot yuzu sake give the meal a warm finish.
The pork katsu is the curveball. It skips the usual curry pairing and arrives as a massive portion dressed in sweet BBQ sauce, a cooked counterweight to all that raw fish. Service is swift, walk in seating comes quickly, and the room suits a group, with takeout and delivery covering nights on the couch.
The kitchen opens at noon every day and closes at half past ten PM Sunday through Thursday, with service until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. Swing by Thompson Street for a late lunch, or save the katsu for a weekend dinner that runs a little later.
