Seared tuna with crispy chili sauce!
Jana B.

We stopped by on a whim and were pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, and the service was fantastic--our server answered all our questions and told us about the special of the day, a deliciously fresh tuna. Great food at reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back!

Tempura shrimp

The service is awesome . The food was cocked awesomely with great flavors. The sweet and salty wit a little heat was perfect.

Hot Summer roll
Jenn B.

Under new management but same great sushi. This is a south side gem! Service was great and like I said the sushi was delicious! I opted for the Hot summer roll and if you like a little spice it'll do the job.

Salmon Lover Roll

Went to try this restaurant after we saw a Instagram video that was posted recommending it, and I will say it did not disappoint. The ambiance was great, the sushi was fantastic and the service was phenomenal. I would highly recommend giving this place a try.

The Gangster Roll

As of June 2025, this family has taken over the restaurant and they are SO kind. They care about their customers and the food they serve. If you have questions about the menu they gladly answer and give wonderful suggestions. The inside gives off a cozy feeling. I recommend the Gangster Roll and the Salmon Lover if you like fresh and straightforward rolls. My friend got the Albacore Lover Roll and the Poke Roll, both very unique and flavorful. Definitely will be going back!

Hot summer roll

Amazing sushi! Hayashi has new management. They were great! Very kind server, I saw someone new was at the sushi counter. I was worried the rolls may be different since I had only had the older gentleman there before make it. Sushi was still as good as ever! Sushi chef waved and said a nice goodbye. If you want good quality sushi come here! (If the old owners see this) I will miss you! I have been dining here for 10 years and always enjoyed seeing you both and see that you're doing well. I hope you both have a good retirement!

The rolls we ordered were solid. Sadly they do not offer bento boxes on the weekends as it is only a weekday lunch special.

Came here with a couple of friends for the first time on a busy weekend. We had reservations and…read morewere seated immediately when we arrived. My friends ordered a few drinks, and we started with the edamame, chicken karaage, and miso soup. The appetizers were decent, but nothing particularly memorable, and all of our miso soups came out slightly cold. Our server was friendly, but because the restaurant was so busy, service overall was pretty slow. We also had to wait quite a while just to get wasabi for our sushi. I ordered the sashimi dinner, which was good, but again, nothing spectacular. My husband ordered several pieces of nigiri and thought it tasted good, but not the freshest sushi he's had. Our friends felt similarly about their meals. I don't really have much negative to say aside from the slower service and the miso soup bowls not being the best design-wise since one of the helpers accidentally spilled mine onto the table, and they also seem to let the soup cool down quickly. The sushi was fairly fresh, just not the best I've had in the metro. Overall, I'd say this place is okay, but not quite what all the hype made it out to be.

The Sushi Bar - Memorial Road OKC…read more Let me start with this... If I can convince my wife to try something called the "Naughty Girl Roll"... you already know we're off to a strong start From the moment we walked in, the vibe was exactly what you want in a sushi spot--comfortable, relaxed, and not trying too hard to be something it's not. Just good energy and a place you can actually enjoy your meal. Our server Juan? Spot on. Attentive without hovering, checked in at all the right times, and kept things moving smoothly. Let's Talk Food Naughty Girl Roll This is the one. Tempura shrimp, avocado, and cream cheese, topped with baked salmon, spicy mayo, sweet sauce, masala, and scallions. Rich? Yes. Over-the-top? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely. This is the roll you order when you want to convert someone into a sushi fan. Ikura (Salmon Roe) This one was all mine--and that's probably for the best. If you're into that briny pop and clean ocean flavor, this hits. If not... no shame in sitting this one out. Norwegian Mackerel A really well-balanced dish. Cooked just right, paired with bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, and white rice. Clean, flavorful, and a nice break from the heavier rolls. Bento Box My wife's choice--and honestly, a smart one. If you're not feeling adventurous, this gives you variety without stepping too far outside your comfort zone. The Verdict This place checks all the boxes: Flavor Variety Service Atmosphere Whether you're a sushi regular or just dipping your toe in, The Sushi Bar delivers.

Nice atmosphere. Our server was great!…read more The food is okay. It's not bad, it's just not our favorite.. The mackerel was fishy and the sides didn't have much flavor.

It comes with some jalapeño cream cheese and tenderloin steak with some green onions and I think it was about $21 for the roll of eight pieces. We got that first out an I really loved the spiciness of the Jalapeños but it wasn't too spicy. I got the Thai steak noodle dish. It was beautifully delicious. The flavors blended together nicely. It was spicy just the way I like it. It had fresh tomato, avocado, kale, peanuts, and my deliciously tender steak. My boyfriend got the Korean beef tenderloin with fried rice. He let me try the steak and it was tender and delicious as well. I really don't eat fish or like fish, so the beef looked the best today. I would like to come back and try some of their brunch menu items as well such as the breakfast Ramen. This place is pretty expensive though, but the food is delicious. The inside was clean and we went early in the morning around 11 AM. I'm glad we went that early because in about an hour all the church crowd was coming in and alot of people came in. We got our food quickly too. Our server told us that if you like fish, they get fresh fish in every day there. Their fish dishes are ever frozen.
