Oka Asian Food — Restaurant in City of Corning

📍New Find in Corning, NY: Oka Asian Food 🍱✨

Corning just got a little tastier! I had the pleasure of dining at Oka Asian Food, a brand-new spot that just opened its doors—and let me tell you, this place has serious potential.

I went for dinner and tried two standout dishes: the Beef Negimaki and the Fish Katsu Bento Box, and both delivered in flavor and presentation. The Beef Negimaki (📸 first photo) was rich and savory—thinly sliced beef wrapped around fresh scallions, drizzled with a sweet soy glaze and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It was tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated with delicate onion curls that added a crisp contrast.

Then came the Fish Katsu Bento Box (📸 second photo), a generous and well-balanced meal with crispy breaded fish fillets, fresh orange slices, perfectly rolled California sushi, spring rolls, and fluffy white rice. Everything had that freshly-made taste and comforting home-style vibe, while still being thoughtfully presented.

The restaurant is still new, so it’s finding its rhythm, but based on this first experience, I truly hope Oka Asian Food thrives. It brings a welcome variety to the local dining scene, and I’m excited to return and explore more of the menu.

This isn't just my favorite restaurant in Corning, I think this is also my favorite Asian restaurant in all of New York state! I really want to come back here if I'm ever nearby again.

I was staying at Corning for a few days with family, and in the evenings we'd like to go for food. We tried different food places but none of us all together seemed to find something we all liked, until we found Oka Asian Food. The menu is very big, spanning tons of different options, from sushi to sweet and sour chicken. I had a hard time choosing because so many of the options sounded very appetizing!

I ended up getting salmon rolls, my wife got sweet and sour chicken, and the rest of my family got different things like bento boxes, salmon terriyaki, ramen, etc.. All of us seemed to really enjoy our food, and I know I definitely did! The fish tasted very fresh, the rice was tasty, and the rolls felt perfect. The staff was also very nice and friendly!

I consider myself to be very picky with sushi/Asian food in general, so trust me when I say this place is super tasty and probably the best restaurant on the whole street! Definitely stop by here if...

We went on a Saturday night and Oka was pretty busy when we first got there, but the server was so sweet and apologetic about our wait (we didn't mind - a Saturday night for a new restaurant is bound to be busy). The menu was very extensive and had lots of options, but we opted for the rolls and got a bumch to try and share. They were absolutely delicious (we especially loved the sex salmon roll - savory and the salmon melted in the mouth, the mango mango roll - so refreshing and bright, and the squid sashimi. The servers were all very busy and working hard with lots of big groups that night, but our server was still attentive and proactive with drinks and service. Fantastic experience and we will absolutely...
