Octopus is a Japanese restaurant specializing in mainly sushi and other specialty seafood fusion dishes. Open daily, every day of the week. Monday through Thursday from 11:30am till 10:30pm, Friday and Saturday till 11pm, and Sunday from 12pm till 10pm. The ambiance is impressive. Location is a bit hard to spot. It stands right at the corner that’s a bit dark and easy to miss if you drive by to fast. Parking is quite easy. There is underground garage parking right besides the restaurant and best thing yet… it is free.
Nights seem to be quite busy. Most of the tables and booths are occupied with service already. There are pretty leather booths and comforting mood lighting surrounding the interior. Their choice of music is quite random and not all that suitable for the ambiance and feel of the restaurant. But chances are, you are too engaged in the satisfying meal that you won’t be bothered too much by it. Service is excellent. The waiters were exceptionally polite and friendly. Quick to respond and comes around to check up on our meal and if we needed any more assistance. It’s nice to have chefs, waitresses and waiters who are attentive to you.
The food is delicious and is worth what you’ve paid for. Prices are decent and each roll of sushi stands within the average range of what a typical sushi roll of eight pieces would be: between approximate $7-$10. Sashimi slices and sushi rolls are always generous and the fish is always fresh. The sashimi salad is exceptional. They truly weren't being cheap with their fish, giving a more than decent portion of fish slices. Some favorites are: the spider roll, the rainbow roll, the volcano roll, shrimp or vegetable tempura roll, and the tiger roll. Some other quite amazing fusion dishes that's a must try upon your visit is: the monkey fry which is deep fried spicy tuna in a japanese mint leaf, the salmon tempura which is unique because it isn't just your ordinary vegetable or shrimp tempura, and even their dynamite appetizer is amazing, which is baked scallop sauteed with mushroom and onion in a slightly sweet and creamy sauce. It definitely was hard to decide what to order. The other great aspect of this restaurant is the fact that they offer two happy hours with discounted alcohol as well as some of their sushi. The first happy hour is between 3-6pm and the second happy hour is from 8pm to closing.
If you want affordable sushi in generous portions and of course, along with great service, Octopus is definitely a recommended Japanese sushi restaurant for you. The flavors and experiences of the dishes will be worth your buck!
