OKO Kitchen

Everything about Oko in Rye says “you’ve made it,” from the difficult-to-score prime-time reservations to the luxury items all over the Japanese menu, including three kinds of uni appetizers. Make sure to try the handrolls and the yakitori, but know that however you decide to navigate the hot and cold starters and extensive nigiri selection, you’ll be rewarded with high-quality ingredients and lots of excellent single bites. Even the dessert course feels like pampering, with a homemade matcha kit kat and custom toppings on creamy soft serve, resulting in a sundae that far exceeds the token ice cream at many Japanese restaurants.
