Was Anna Webb at Oco Time a mag?
This is my favorite restaurant in town! The only downside is the limited seating and the fact that they don't accept reservations. I recommend calling ahead to check availability.

What John Ma dislikes about Oco Time:
It's a fairly good Japanese restaurant in town, though not the best. The prices are a bit on the high side. The atmosphere and service are decent, but the quality of the food is just average. I'm unsure why they don't serve rice with the bento. Also, I don't remember seeing any ramen or udon on the menu. View all feedback.

Dropped in for late lunch. Tried to get pricing and availability for California roll, but server didn't really get it! Ordered Miso soup to start and it smelled off, had a big sip, had an immediate reaction in my gut to the soup. Don't recommend. Price per person: $1–10 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
This is our special date night spot, the atmosphere is so chill and makes for a great date to chat about our week. The food is immaculate and always made with sunder quality ingredients. The staff are all so nice and friendly, always remember the little details. Service: Dine in Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Large vegetarian selection
BEWARE!! The prices Oco shows on Google Maps are wrong. A 9 piece sashimi plate is shown as $16, but I was charged $21, that's almost a 30% increase. The hamachi kama jumped from $18 to $25. That's an almost 50% increase! WOW! My bill got jacked up to $150.33, before tip. The hamachi kama was nigh upon excellent, spiced to perfection, no additional sauce needed. The hamachi kama was slightly overcooked, rendering the flesh a bit hard and dry, requiring a little moistening soy sauce. I make my own sashimi sauce, regular and low sodium soy sauce based, with hints of sesame oil and Sriracha sauce, so plain soy sauce was a little underwhelming. And to compound the errors Oco gave no wassabi, and just a couple of napkins. The ahi sashimi was beautiful, translucent, without the slightest hint of connective tissue or blood. Sadly the texture was a little pasty and the ahi was devoid of that characteristic rich flavour. The salmon was peach-orange, rich and creamy, but lacking that latent sweetness that makes you think of candy with each bite of salmon. The seared albacore was OK, nothing to write home about. A little wassabi might have rescued it. The smoked salmon was quite good, but not my thing. I am partial gravad lax, no smoke required, so I found this smoked salmon a bit jarring. I think that with a little palate education, and an accompanying glass of warm saki, I might come to enjoy smoked salmon. I was curious as to how a fish as oily as mackerel might work as sashimi ... it did not work for me. It was rock hard, generally tasteless with a strong medicinal-chemical undertone. To my mind there are better and more appropriate uses for mackerel. Recommendation: AVOID, overpriced hit or miss dishes. Failure to provide wassabi is unforgivable.

I would rate this restaurant a zero if I could. The food is decent, but it's certainly not world-class. They offer an interesting twist on sushi, but considering it's one of the most expensive restaurants in Ukiah, the experience is marred by terrible service. In fact, the service here is the worst I've encountered in Ukiah, and among the worst in any restaurant I've visited. I've been there four times, and each experience has been consistently slow and frustrating. During my most recent visit, it took 20 minutes to receive our miso soup, salad, and beer. After that, we were left waiting with empty glasses of water and no soy sauce or ginger for an additional 28 minutes. I noticed that the entire waitstaff, about five or six people, were congregated in the kitchen chatting with their manager while there were tables needing service and three customers outside. There's simply no excuse for that. I've dined at Michelin-starred restaurants that served food more promptly. Plus, the sushi here is not significantly better than what you can find at Lotus or O'Haru's. I eat sushi weekly in Ukiah, so I'm familiar with the options. The management and waitstaff need to remember that they work in a service industry and should prioritize their customers. The overall experience is just as vital as the food in encouraging repeat business. I’m very disappointed, especially since I had heard they treat their regulars well and that the food is good. I won't be returning to Oco Time again.

The food was absolutely amazing! The sushi was delicious, and I really enjoyed the bento boxes. The service was friendly and top-notch. I'm definitely looking forward to returning!
Absolutely the best sushi in town! The charming indoor and outdoor dining options make it a delightful experience. There are countless favorites on the menu—it's hard to choose! Everything is fresh and delicious.

I enjoyed the Chicken Katsu bowl for dinner, and it was absolutely delicious. The Oco sauce was quite delightful as well.
I’m thrilled to have my traditional New Year's treats from Oco Time. I was especially impressed with the hamachi kama; it’s absolutely the best!
This is the best sushi in town! I absolutely love the Double Rainbow Roll and the Marcos Roll. The nigiri special offers a fantastic variety, and the avocado roll provides a nice change of pace. You can't go wrong with the tempura either!
The amazing B Boy Jero (9 Pc) is my all-time favorite and always a guaranteed hit! You won’t be disappointed. Perfect for those who love a spicy kick!

Authentic and interesting sushi and bento. They have something for everyone, drinks, rolls, nigiri and their special Oco dish. Very kid friendly and can seat larger groups. Vegetarian options: Veggie rolls and cooked veggie bowls. Kid-friendliness: Always welcoming to our kids and will customize dishes for our picky eaters. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

I really enjoy the food, but the service definitely needs improvement. I placed an order through the app, which indicated it would take over an hour. When I arrived at the designated time, the girl at the counter informed me that I would have to wait another half hour. She attributed the delay to the DoorDash app, but I suspect she hadn’t entered the correct time. This was incredibly frustrating. I would have canceled my order if I hadn’t already made the payment through the app. Meanwhile, other customers who arrived after me were able to pick up their orders without a hitch, which added to my annoyance.
Oco Time is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a delightful spot to dine. They offer an impressive selection of sushi, sashimi, and Nigerian dishes, all at reasonable prices, providing excellent value for the quality you’d expect in a larger city. We were truly impressed. It's definitely a must-visit!

You have a vegan sushi menu! And all veg/tofu tempura dishes can be made vegan, and additionally they have a separate veggie fryer. The tempura bbq tofu is a must order, and the spicy veil roll is to die.
Oco time belongs to a beautiful couple originally from Japan. It took several years and many struggles to create the beautiful, inviting space they now have for the community. Oco time is not only an artistic experience, but it also feeds the soul and belly.
I wasn't to another sushi spot that has a whole page only for vegan sushi and sides! If I want sushi, I'll go to the Oco time! Your Vegan Sushi is not only a cucumber or avocado roll like most sushi restaurants offer. The reels are very creative and use good quality ingredients and taste amazing! My visit is always the Spicy Vege Roll or Kameko Roll or an Iniri from the Vegan menu. For a quick bite Oco Time has called a shop right next to its building, It’s time tomb n’ Go! You have a list on the side of the refrigerators that contain information about everything they use and it is clearly marked! Tons of vegan options in the tomb n go as in the seat restaurant.
If you want to find the best Veggie Sushi, go to OCO Time. They make the most delicious magic dragon roll I've ever tasted. You also have a fantastic seaweed salad and Ponzu Spinat salad! Just go and enjoy the wonderful ambience and delicious vegan food!!!
Small order area, but the back and the bathroom are perfectly the love in singles for sale many good choices and have not been disappointed by a single food order that I made or the Ives with and the staff is always friendly and fast as possible without sacrifice of quality even custom orders to do if you are lucky.
