Birthday plate, tempura battered banana! Very yummy!
Nicole Y.

We love it here! If we could, we would eat here everyday! Ashley is our absolute favorite! She always remembers my dietary restrictions and confirms with the kitchen if there is ever a question about my requested food. We always get the ram roll because it's my husband's favorite. I always love to try something new until I get through all the rolls on the menu.

Ring of fire, rainbow, obsidian, and volcano rolls.
Sarah F.

Quick service, fun vibe, and fresh sushi. We got the Calamari appetizer, Volcano, Obsidian, Ring of Fire, and Rainbow Rolls. My favorite thing is the sushi is not massively packed with rice. The flavors were all good. We will be back again soon.

Was told wait was 25 mins, ended up being almost an hour. We got buzzed in only to find out that we were buzzed in too early so we just stood up front awkwardly for about another 15 mins before actually being seated. Front area is very congested due to space. It was Friday so I figured it would be busy which is why I remained patient although a bit annoyed. We ordered an appetizer sampler which came with three selections and we chose crab rangoon, calamari, and gyoza but I was disappointed with the amount which was two samples of each item. We ordered some sushi and and then two other entrees. For the price range of the entree dishes I thought it was a bit steep. Only good thing of the night for us was the waitress Ashley. She was very friendly, attentive and kept checking on us to make sure we were good even when it was a full night.

Food was outstanding. We tried the sampler appetizer, can't recall the name but had calamari and a jalapeño blossom(?), all 3 items were great. Got 4 rolls and all outstanding, fresh water (I think is the name) was a revelation. Our waiter was also super impressive and conversational. Just a great spot all around.

Crunchy Roll

We came for lunch--two items for $13.25. It was well worth it! Loved the vegetables spring roll and the crunchy roll. It's beautiful inside and service was awesome! We'll be back...

Steak with teriyaki sauce
Amy V.

This sushi bar is located in a small shopping plaza. Which is quite a busy area in town. But plenty of parking. We had amazing service. They were super busy and the food took a little longer to come out. But everything was delicious. Appetizer: Pick 3 plate we chose were 2 small crab cakes, 2 jalapeño blossoms(Jalapeño popper) cut in half, some calamari sticks. It wasn't worth the price. But it was enough to feed 5 people if you want to taste test a bite. I say it's more for 2 people. Also got the seaweed salad. It was so good and flavorful. Entrees: We got 2 steak meals. One was teriyaki and omg!! The flavor of that dish isn't too sweet or overwhelming. The steaks are nice sized thickness, cook perfectly to our taste buds. My steak had the lemon pepper seasoning and it was delicious. I opted for steamed veggies and brown rice.(More like fried rice) Tempura combo: This dish was huge with lots of food. My sister is a huge fan of tempura and this one won her heart. Crunchy roll: it was so creamy from the cream cheese and crunchy. Udon noodle: took too long to come out. Flavors were a bit lacking. Had carrots, chicken, udon noodles. Came with a thin ginger sake tasting sauce. My sister ate it with the teriyaki sauce that was included on the steak. She said it tasted better that way. So try that instead. Dessert: Fried tempura cheesecake. The waiter said it was small. But when we received it, it was pretty big! Lol! It was decorated so pretty and tasted so amazing. Once again, my tempura obsessed sister said it was delicious!! So try it!!

Are they open today on Memorial Day? I've been calling for 30 minutes to confirm hours and nobody there is picking up. Website says they're open till 9:30 but it is a national holiday.

I don't know, I'm a customer too.

My husband and I ended up here the other night after showing up to Mr. Nobu's and being told there…read morewas an hour wait. We are so glad dinner plans changed because we LOVED this place!! The server/host did a great job of being super friendly and talkative along with making sure we were well informed on the menu and hearing we made good choices on our food selections. We ordered the stuffed jalapeños - which if you go, You must get!! For rolls we got 1. Tulsa Roll 2. Fire Dragon Roll 3. Tornado Roll (fried) All were so tasty, each in their own way. We were super impressed all around and will be back. I can't stop thinking about the stuffed jalapeños

I went with the (R)4 - Shoyu (Tokyo Style) ramen & my goodness was it full of flavor. When a…read morewaiter/waitress takes my order & asks about spice level, I usually "play it safe" & go to a 3 (their scale was 1-5... spice level 3 was subtle). Speaking of flavor, I'm sure the special blended soy sauce played a major part. On top of that, there's chili sauce at the table & that right there has a Shawn Michaels super kick to it. With the bowl being full of chicken along with the other components like fish cake, seaweed, bamboo shoots, green onion & a soft boiled egg (that's also flavored)... it's not even an overload. It's flavor on top of flavor on top of flavor. I couldn't even finish it & took it to-go. My waitress was super nice & the wait on my food didn't take long (they had a mini lunch rush when I got here). Outside of ramen, there's so much to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for ramen, sushi, bowls, etc... this is your spot. I was having a headache & really needed some food to help get rid of it (I was also in the area). Ramen usually does the trick & it prevailed as I started feeling better. Oishi came in the clutch.

This is by far our favorite sushi place in Tulsa area. The price is a good value for all of the…read moreofferings that they give you, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the owner is working behind the counter still as well. I take a lot of pride and what they do and that comes through in the food that they hand you. I also like that on the all-you-can-eat menu, you can half some of the portions. For example, if you want four pieces instead of eight pieces. Probably my only complaint would be that they get full and seating gets a little tight once in a while. It's a great problem to have for a place that has phenomenal food. This is a regular in our restaurant rotation. Fav dishes: I love the red dragon roll, Viva Lake (fried), cajun lobster roll, and their peppered salmon nigiri. You can do things off of their menu if you don't wanna do all you can eat and they have things other than sushi. Happy eating!

One of the best Tulsa Sushi dining experience is here. We don't go for the all you can eat, but we…read morelike to get other small sides and salads before the mains arrive. We have the edamame, side green salad, crunch roll, eel roll.. just to name a few items. On OUR END, those are what we enjoy while there. We would like to venture over to the bento options. The rice and teriyaki chicken is great for our small one. There is something on the menu for everyone. The wasabi and ginger on the trays are pretty good! I do recommend. We have tried more super sushi operations in Tulsa.. I hear some mention they won't eat seafood or sushi far away from the coastlines. That is totally understandable. Most are in fear of the food borne illness etc etc. We have been frequent visitors here. They also serve cooked and/or deep fried rolls; along with other hot food options on the menu. Hope y'all

My wife and I are regulars who typically dine here every other week and frequently bring customers…read moreand coworkers. We genuinely enjoy the food and atmosphere, which makes this experience all the more disappointing. She ordered a filet and shrimp. When the cook placed the steak on the grill, it had a distinctly rotten odor and appeared dark brown/purple. When it was put on her plate "cooked medium just as asked", both my wife and I found it smelled and tasted spoiled. The cook and our server handled the situation professionally and apologized. The manager, however, was rude and unprofessional. He came to the table questioning us as if we were imagining the problem, then used his fingers to pick up and taste the steak directly from my wife's plate after we had already tried it. He declared it "fine" and offered to cook another one. The replacement steak tasted strongly like liver. We left the original on the plate; our dog ended up with the second one. A couple next to us on the same grill who had also ordered steak commented that ours looked so different they couldn't tell that it was steak. We paid over $100 for three people and received no meaningful apology from management--only the implication that we were trying to get something for free. The cook and server were excellent; the meat quality and the manager's response were not. Mistakes happen. Arguing with customers over clearly spoiled food and handling it so unprofessionally does not. Unless we receive a formal apology from the manager, this restaurant has lost our business, our family's business, and any future recommendations I would have given to customers or visitors. We liked coming here. The manager's behavior is what ended that.

We usually go to another place in the area religiously and thought "why not spread the love?" So,…read morewe tried this place. The offerings were different enough that it didn't feel like "cheating" on our usual place with items like hamachi collar, takiyoki (the octopus balls), sashimi (no rice), ramen, and hibachi, just to name a AYCE btw). Ingredients were fresh and the portions are good for tasting/small plates-like sharing amongst your dinner guests. The sushi rolls are all 8 piece unless otherwise listed with combinations that I haven't seen often in Tulsa spots. I like this place because pretty everything except the specialty drinks are AYCE, including dessert. So if you have a group of friends that want to pay a fair price for an adventurous dinner evening with some well known favorites, this is a perfect spot. Oh and the staff? PHENOMENAL.

As far as AYCE sushi is concerned, this is the best I've had, no question. Consistently great quality, service is fast, and even the rolls that weren't my favorite, were still better than most good rolls elsewhere. I like that they have lots of additional options on the AYCE. My little one enjoyed the gyoza and ramen. My husband love the tempura shrimp and teriyaki chicken. I can eat my weight in the seaweed salad, and that's before ever getting a roll! Great place for a date night, family meal, girls night, or even a solo meal.
