Oki (Wimbledon)

• Wimbledon desperately needed some Korean food and I was so excited when Oki opened in the neighbourhood last year
• The menu is large and includes a variety of popular Japanese and Korean dishes along with daily bento specials
• I highly recommend the Dolsot Bibimbap with extra spicy sauce it is fabulous
• I've had the sushi there as well and it's nothing to rave about but is fresh and does the job
• It has always been poor as there is usually only one server managing the entire floor causing unnecessary waits and delays
• I've only been a few times with friends but each time I visit I love it
• I would easily say its the best Japanese restaurant in the area
• The only downside really was the long wait for food
• An exchange followed between the waitress and chefs with much shaking of heads
• I was informed by the chef that the noodles I received were plain noodles
• I was told at this point I should have explained an allergy was involved while ordering
• I replied that was irrelevant as I had ordered plain noodles for a toddler
• Beyond not recognising that we were asking for allergen free food
• I called the restaurant and explained the order was not correct
• The manager suggested that some of the items were the same value as my order so I could eat those instead
• The noodles are usually good
• Simply put the sushi is substandard you can do better at any of the refrigerated pick and go sushi places
• I checked all the rest of the shrimp and they were similarly 'poop full'
• I thought it was only with the larger shrimp in the tempura but it's the same issue with the smaller shrimp they use in the noodles
