As of the end of 2017, Okadaya has 12 stores, and its branches can be found in almost any business district in Shanghai, which is quite influential. Okadaya, which is a crab, will open stores in Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and other places in the future.
Okadaya, a crab house, supplies fresh king crabs, hairy crabs, snow crabs, and golden king crabs every day, with clearly marked prices, freshly killed and cooked, and diners can also order crabs directly in front of the fish tank. The restaurant has a wide variety of crab recipes, including sashimi, boiled food, grilled food, salads, and sushi. If you want to talk about the signature dish, it has to be the snow crab pot. First of all, the paper pot is eye-catching enough as a cooking utensil; Secondly, the bottom of the pot is only a broth cooked with kelp and bonito flakes, which is simple but can bring out the umami of the crab to the greatest extent; The soup base with crab and vegetables is used to make soup and rice, and it tastes great. In addition, the combination of seasonings is not sloppy, the crab vinegar tastes refreshing, and the grapefruit vinegar with radish puree is also very appetizing.
The service in the restaurant is Japanese style and to the point. When you enter the restaurant, the waiter will beat the drum to welcome you, and after the food is served, someone will explain the ingredients and how to eat it, and the waiter will help cut the crab legs when you eat the flowers of the snow crab pot, and when you leave the restaurant, the waiter will say loudly in Japanese, "The guest is going back", and then all the waiters in the restaurant will thank the customer in unison. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere and the atmosphere is perfect for gatherings. There are private rooms in the store, but they are not suitable for business.
For Hairy Crab Eaters in Shanghai, the crab Okadaya, although the freshness of the ingredients and the meticulousness of the cooking are acceptable, its table full of sea crabs is still not enough to attract local crab eaters. Fortunately, sea crabs are less affected by seasonal factors than hairy crabs, and diners can go to the restaurant to try them in the off-season of hairy crabs.
