Oku Roji - Warsaw

This is a very unique place. The setting is in a basement and it is not the nicest place but is kind of fun. The food was good and the drinks were ok. It is not my personal favorite but it definitely has a place in Warsaw.

We love coming here. Service is always great. Food is incredible. Went with ramen the first few times but the sushi bowls are my go to now. We have never had a bad experience here and come in pretty often.

Food was very good. The wait was long but the food made up for it.

It has a major conflict of identity. Whiskey bar-Japanese food and LOUD rap music, like night club loud. Those things don't mix. Owner is in the kitchen while the inmates run the asylum. Wait staff is rude and ask for a good whiskey. 20 minutes and they don't have it. Layout is terrible. Walk down a dank hallway and around an open old storefront to go downstairs to the restaurant. It's 90% American and European whiskey. The whole thing was dumb.

We had reservations and when we walked down to the restaurant we had to ask to be seated. This wasn’t our first time here but we had forgotten how loud the music was. With my husband losing his hearing in one ear, we couldn’t even talk to each other. We waited 12 minutes and no one ever asked us for water or anything. We ended up walking out and saw 4 staff standing at the counter. Very disappointed and won’t be back even though their food is good.
