We came to Okra Bar for the omakase and it surpassed all expectations!
The meticulous attention to detail that Chef Max Levy has
labored over from each grain of sushi rice, each song selection, each well
thought out cut with his knife, to larger items such as purchasing, quality
control and service displays his ingenuity, versatility and creativity in his
craft. We were blown away by his depth of knowledge about each of the sakes he
paired with each dish and truly enjoyed the sake storytimes like a drunkard enjoys
their nightcap. All the dishes are incredibly well thought out and evolve with

the Peter Rabbit and Snoopy and Woodstock spoons and you are reminded that
there is no ego here. He is soft-spoken and articulate about his craft and he
is far from pretentious as you can get from your typical chef. Our dinner was
so enjoyable and we cannot wait to be back.
