We discovered this restaurant on Yelp and were excited to try their shareable appetizers. Oak Coal did not disappoint! We kicked off our meal with the spicy yellowtail and salmon hand rolls, which were both creamy and delicious. Next, we moved on to the salmon crudo, which we absolutely loved. We complemented our dishes with a bowl of steamed rice on the side. The seafood garlic noodles were fantastic; we enjoyed them so much that we could have kept eating more. To conclude our meal, we indulged in the Ube Banana Pudding—OMG! This dessert was extraordinary! As for the drinks, while they were quite pricey for the portion sizes, they were still very tasty. We will definitely be coming back!
The most american looking japanese restaurant i've seen. Priced higher than typical yakitori but still well prepared. It's a juicy steak on a stick. The dishes were served at a consistent pace. The restaurant is split into two rooms one being a low light bar and table setting and the other being more rustic with a view of the kitchen.
