I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful establishment in Wilmington for the first time on January 3, 2025, to celebrate my niece’s high school graduation. The chef was so personable, and the food was absolutely amazing, so much so that I decided to return for my birthday dinner in Denim on January 18, 2025. Once again, the food was cooked to perfection! From the many different requests, our meats, noodles, rice, and veggies were all delicious. The highlight of our evening, though, was our amazing server, Vika. Her outgoing and vibrant personality was truly refreshing, and she made the whole experience even better. We need more Vikas in the world! Highly recommend this spot for both incredible food and outstanding service!

Ray was so awesome!!! We got him in March and then again just now- great guy and fun show to watch. And the food... 🤤🤤🤤Yummy!! Our waitress was wonderful too, but sorry, we don't know her name!

Amazing food and very friendly cooks. I came for my birthday and ate at the grill. The show they put on is as funny as always, watch out for the dad jokes. The steak was very tender and everything was delicious. Joshua was my cook and his banter and personality really made a difference in how well I enjoyed the meal. I will definitely keep Okami in mind for a great meal.

We booked our reservation for a party of 12 for 8:00, we were seated within 10 minutes of arriving. All staff were friendly and attentive. Our server was very sweet and kept up with our groups jokes and banter. I wish we remembered her name, cute brunette with dainty tattoo sleeve on her left arm. Our cook, I believe his name is Jojo, was FANTASTIC. He was so funny, our whole group has a great time and he was so good at his quick comebacks to our jokes. He sung us a few songs while cooking and we were non stop laughing the entire meal. He is very up to date with trending jokes and songs online 😂 All of the food was delicious and huge portions, we're excited for our second dinner with our left overs later 🤣. Two of us ordered sushi and everyone else got hibachi. Everything was cooked well and very yummy. Not a dull moment from the moment we came in to the moment we left. Thank you for a great night. We love to come here for sit down but the hibachi experience is by far the best for birthdays! We will be back for the next group birthday and hopefully we can request Jojo again!

All you eat sushi was great! Pot stickers may be the best I've ever had. Sat by the sushi chefs and enjoyed watching them. Waitress was super attentive and made our first time there very enjoyable. We will definitely be back!
