Tried this restaurant for the first time on Thursday and it was an amazing experience. If you have been to et al. for their dumpling nights on Wednesday then you will fall right in place. I ordered the Karaage Donburi which is their fried chicken bowl with rice and I know I am oversimplifying it, but the picture tells everything you need to know. I also ordered the mint melon drink, which was extremely refreshing and I sip it and savor it just like it was a regular cocktail. The space was jumping like it was happy hour, and it was only lunchtime. With it being located in downtown Tulsa, it is easy to get to, but you will actually miss it if you're not looking for it because of where it's located at the Gradient building. Check this place out as soon as you can because it is a treat, and I am sure to returned and bring plenty of friends with me. read more

Pros: my friend and I absolutely love the Japanese breakfast. We love every part of it. I especially love the hot tea. So I really thought that I would love the dinner. Having been to their previous dumpling nights, I knew that I would like their dumplings. That's the only thing from dinner I really enjoyed. My friend liked her miso soup and sweet potato. Service is always good. Decor was very clean and modern. Cons: we didn't love dinner. Her first complaint was they did not have any hot tea during dinner service. Which is really weird for an Asian restaurant. We got the Okonomi Yaki. Too salty. The build your own hand rolls were bland. The Chinese cailan was missing the traditional sauce. For me the sauce makes the dish. read more

Total: $43 From the moment you walk in, the space feels both modern and classic at the same time. It has that effortless "come as you are" atmosphere where you can settle in comfortably and enjoy a thoughtful meal. There is off street parking right out front, which makes it even more convenient. The bartenders are friendly and welcoming, and the service overall is quick, attentive, and genuinely kind. Refills are offered regularly, and the food comes out hot and fresh without a long wait. To start, they bring out a complimentary curry crispy quinoa appetizer. It tastes exactly as described, with a bold curry flavor and a satisfying crisp texture. It is simple, but it immediately sets the tone for a meal that is going to be full of flavor. For appetizers, I ordered the karaage and the yakiimo. The karaage portion is generous and easily shareable. It has a beautiful crisp on the outside, and while it comes with ponzu sauce, I personally enjoyed it more on its own. I do think it could pair even better with something slightly creamier or alongside a light slaw for contrast. The yakiimo was a standout for me. It was tender, naturally sweet, and had that perfect balance of sweet and savory. It truly melts in your mouth. I finished the entire dish, which is rare for me. For the entrée, I had originally planned to try both the saba shioyaki and the udon, but the saba was sold out, so I went with the kitsune udon. As soon as it arrived, the aroma stood out immediately. It is one of those dishes where you experience it before you even take a bite. The noodles are thick, soft, and clearly well made. The broth carries most of the flavor and ties everything together beautifully. The shrimp and chicken were both cooked well and very tender, though they leaned a bit mild in flavor. I found myself wishing they had been marinated or seasoned a bit more deeply to match the richness of the broth. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, tender while still holding a slight crispness, and they absorbed just enough of the broth to complement the dish. For dessert, I ordered the matcha pistachio sweet treat, expecting a traditional dessert, but it is actually an alcoholic beverage made with pistachio liqueur, shochu, and matcha powder. The flavor was good and reminded me of a spiked matcha eggnog. While the menu does note the alcohol, I had expected something more dessert-like, similar to a rum cake. I then tried the gen mai cha rice crispy treat instead. It is definitely not your average rice crispy. It has a balance of sweet and savory flavors, with hints of salt and sugar throughout. The texture is interesting as well, slightly sticky to the touch but still soft with a light crunch. Each bite is a little different, which keeps it interesting. Overall, I would absolutely return, especially to try the items that were sold out. It is a thoughtful menu with unique flavors, and the experience as a whole feels intentional and well executed. read more

It's only been open for a couple of weeks, and my SIL was in town and wanted to go. When you enter you go up a few stairs to the register where you order and pay for your meal, then get a table and put your number up for them to see when they bring your meal. It's clean and bright with straight lines everywhere except the bar itself, which has some modest curves. I've never seen more people journaling in a restaurant before. I got the Kitsune Udon ($13 - hot awase broth, sanuki udon, poached shrimp, chrysanthemum greens, togarashi, scallions). The noodles were perfectly cooked, and I was a bit surprised by the chrysanthemum greens, which had a more subtle flavor, not strong. The broth was simple and understated, not deep and rich like ramen broths I've had before, but still very good. The kitchen is wide open so you can see them working, and I talked briefly to one of the chefs who told me they imported their noodles (not hand made), and to check out the breakfast and dinner menus too. I will deffo go back and try other dishes in the future while they continue to work out the post-opening kinks. read more

Natsukashii is a spot I'd come back to without overthinking it. We ordered a spread and there were some real standouts. The Saba Shioyaki was probably my favorite. Super clean, not fishy at all, and just cooked right. If you've had bad mackerel before, this will change your mind. Gyoza were legit. Nothing fancy, just exactly what you want them to be. The crispy rice salad surprised me in a good way. A lot of texture, a lot of flavor, and somehow it all works together. Quick heads up, the Salmon & Griddled Lemon Temakizushi is listed under sashimi, but it's actually a handroll. Threw me off for a second, but it was still really good so no complaints. Cocktails were on point, and the service made the whole thing easy. Food came out at a good pace, no weird gaps, no hovering. Overall, just a really solid dinner. Not trying too hard, just good food done right. I'll be back. read more

This place is very good, food was unusual and flavorful, staff was friendly and helpful, only downside is that they have not solved the problem of noise. The place was very very loud. I would definitely recommend! read more

I was eagerly awaiting Natsukashii's opening and they did not disappoint! Creative menu with tried and true items from their Et Al days (dumplings!) plus lots of new fun dishes to try. Plus coffee service now! The vibe is relaxed and stylish. Great for both group and solo dining. The staff is friendly and attentive. My new fav spot! read more

Food is amazing. Went at lunch was busy but we got in 10ish min. Ordered food and appetizers and desserts. Let me tell you the pickles on the side of the pork bowl are seriously what I want as my last meal. Food was great atmosphere is wonderful. I wish I took pics of our lunch but I ate it before I realized I did not take a pic. read more

Food and service were fantastic. It was SO LOUD in there though. Absolutely no noise absorbing surfaces in the place and my party was having to yell at each other through the meal. The booth seats are super uncomfortable too but could easily be fixed by extending the back padding downward. Will definitely be back, but will probably sit at the bar. I recommend the dumplings of course and also the fries and the sweet potato. read more

It's far too loud. It's not set up to operate very smoothly. The food is extremely sub par and overpriced. It might be okay if you've never had Japanese food before. It's also Cysco slop. You can see the truck every Monday. So guaranteed not fresh. Not a single Japanese person has a hand in this abhorrence. Go literally anywhere else. There is also nowhere to park. Very bad location. read more

Gorgeous interior, super friendly staff and mind-blowingly amazing food. Upon our servers suggestion, we got the curry croquettes, pork and nira gyoza, and garlic soy ribeye as well as the okonomiyaki. Everything was so delicious! Since we mentioned it was my sister's birthday, they also gave her a special rice crispy treat that had seaweed and tea leaves in it. Unexpected and earthy, but again so good! We finished with a second dessert, the pot de creme, which shouldn't be overlooked. I'd recommend Natsukashii to anyone! read more

I thought I was going to be beyond impressed but it was good overall. The place is tastefully small, only bad if you get there when it's crazy busy. We got there at 5:30pm on a Saturday and had to wait 20min so wasn't too bad. Their drinks are cute and yummy. You HAVE to get the BYP hand rolls omg sooooo yumm! I'd also recommend the fried pork chop. I didn't really care for the broccolini. The potato salad was surprisingly good and same with the rice crispy treat for dessert. read more

Everything was so delicious and so thoughtfully created--from the appetizers to the cocktails. I'll be back often! Can't wait for rascal hour! read more
