This place was so delicious! The best sushi I have had in Oklahoma. The double crunchy roll was very good and the miso soup is the absolute best. We also had the seafood Yakisoba and it was awesome. However, we weren’t crazy about the crazy horse roll. This place was so packed there were people waiting outside. Must try!

While Sushi Neko is great, I usually yearn for Tokyo when I want sushi. I prefer to pay for good food instead of expensive real estate & designer interiors. Tokyo was the first in OKC and they are still keeping it real. Domo!

I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy Tokyo. I’ve always had great service and delicious food. I have been fortunate enough to visit Japan as few years ago and every trip to Tokyo restaurant brings me back to the smaller out of the way places I ate when visiting. They are wonderful and authentic.

The place smells horrible and the atmosphere is outdated and bland. I think the food was fishy. Will not return.

Had lunch there yesterday and it was great. I’ve tried them all as well and this is my favorite. Can’t add anything else that hasn’t been said already other than the spider roll was awesome.

I’ve tried a handfull of sushi places around town but I just can’t get enough of Tokyo for one reason:

NATTO

I haven’t found the sticky stuff on any other menu. The first time I ordered it the waitress asked “Do you know what natto is?” and “Have you had it before?” Upon the arrival of the natto roll she and another waitress and the Japanese couple at the table across from me just kind of watched with expectant smirks. They seemed genuinely surprised that I liked it. Kind of a mix of Limburger cheese and strong mushrooms smell and taste. Good stuff. I’m always amused that I still get the same questions each time I order the natto. Apparently some folks have been unpleasantly surprised, so they just get it out of the way beforehand.

The selection of nihonshu is good and if you like vodka drinks give the shochu a try.

Seating can be SLOW when they are busy so go after the lunch rush or before the dinner crowd and things are better. I make a point not to take the truck as the parking lot is tiny and odd shaped.

Aloha from Hawaii,
This place rocks!!! Whenever I am home sick, I drive here to have some “ono” grinds.

I highly recommend this to anyone.

I will give my 5 shaka signs up!!!

I can’t get enough of Tokyo. Sure, the parking lot is too small and they’re very busy so the service is slow but it’s worth it! I eat there several times a month. If I’m in a hurry I’ll just call it in and get it to go. The Fire Mt. Fuji, Oklahoma Dynamite, Double Crunchy and Friday roll are some of my spicy favorites, but there’s plenty of mild choices too. Don’t dismiss the California roll – I get it when I’m on a tight budget and just add hot mayo and spicy sauce to kick it up a notch. It’s excellent this way – very inexpensive and enough to fill me up at lunch. The miso soup is great, as is the Seafood Katsu. Kang’s Asian Bistro and Musashi’s are the only other nearby places I will go to get sushi, but Tokyo is by far the best quality at the best price.

I spent a lovely hour alone at the Tokyo House bar for lunch today. I am a new fan and just couldn’t resist the urge for a Philadelphia Roll.

The only sushi I’ve ever had has been at Tokyo and I’ve only tried the Philly and the Fire Mt. Fuji. Both are excellent! But I have to avoid the Fuji because of the mayo they use on it. too fattening.

I look forward to trying more. How’s the Spicy Tuna?

I was going to try Budda Tao on Memorial, but after reading these reviews I have to wonder why I would want to waste my time.

I eat here at least once or twice a week. My friend works here, and the sushi on most days is good. I’ve tried sushi at Buddha Tao, Shiki, Yamato, Sushi Neko, Musashi’s, Okura, Hiyashi, In the Raw, Fuji’s, Saii, and they are all MEDIOCRE compared to Tokyo’s. I always get the Dynamite Dynamite roll, Cowboy’s roll, Stamina roll, freshwater eel, mackerel, sea urchin, yellowtail sashimi, and salmon sashimi. Tokyo’s has the most fresh fish, and that “fishy” smell inside is from the other foods they cook in the back, not from the raw fish itself, duh..

The only “real” Japanese sushi place in OKC. If only this place were closer to Tinker I’d go there every day! Their lunch specials are a decent deal! I’ve been to a few sushi places in OKC and I think this is the only place to get REAL sushi! BTW I think this is the only place with real Japanese people making the sushi (although I think Sushi Neko comes close…but they’re overpriced) I hope to go here more often now that I’ve found this place!

I love this place and eat here all the time. The sushi is always amazing. I also love the steamed shumai and the squid salad, which is mostly cooked squid with a touch of some kind of chinese vegetable – delicious!

The seems to be the most popular Sushi restaurant (at least thread) on Eat Around. Although I have not eaten at Tokyo, I have experienced Neko and others in OKC, Norman areas. My wife and I love Sushi and the only place we go is Fuji in Edmond. We make the drive all the way from Norman when we want it. Great prices, excellent roles, and it’s always nice to actually have Japanese chefs and waiters.

If it weren’t for Tokyo Sushi, my husband and I would not be married. It was suggested to me as a good “date night” option by a friend and when John and I had our first date, I suggested Tokyo. He reserved a booth in the front of the restaurant, brought me flowers, we ate delicious sushi, I overdid it on the wasabi (which he thought was soooo cute) and then we went to bricktown for drinks and a walk. It was a PERFECT first date. And now, almost four years later, we’re married and still go back to Tokyo several times a year to re-live that first date. We’ve also turned a lot of our friends onto the place so it’s almost become a hangout for us. For a special occasion, be sure to rent their private room…it’s GREAT!!!

I tried Tokyo today for the first time and it was greatness. I went a little crazy and ordered the Tokyo roll, the Oklahoma Dynamite adn the Fire Mt. Fuji. I was very pleased with everything. I usually order that way hoping to really love one, be okay with another and not like the third but everything was really good.

I’m not a fan of salmon or cucumber so it limits me a bit on what I usually order. I usually go with something spicy and both the Mt. Fuji and the Oklahoma have the spicy mayo that I love.

I thought it was all really good but the Fire Mt. Fuji was probably the best cooked sushi roll I’ve had anywhere. If you like spicy stuff, give it a try. If you are on a diet, you will want to pass.

Yes, there was a fishy smell greeting me at the door and yes, it took quite a while to get my food but I will be going back. I can’t remember who mentioned it but I did see several Japanese people eating there which tells me a lot about Tokyo.

Went again for lunch today and tried the boxed lunch with California Roll and Teriyaki salmon. Comes with rice, soup and dumplings. All very good. I have to say, I’m impressed with the salmon. This place is more than just great sushi. I like it all around.

I just went to Tokyo Sushi Restaurant after reading all the great reviews. They are the best. I’m Japanese native, so I know what real sushi and real Japanese food is. In my opinion, no matter how “fancy” it is, if the owner and chef is not Japanese, they have no idea what they are doing and they are fake. I’ve been to Sushi Neko, but they are just over priced and the california rolls and other stuff are what you can get at Super Target Deli. As far as California folls white people like, Super Target do a pretty good job. I’ve been to Shiki too, but I didn’t like it at all. As far as food presentation, they did something unthinkable, so we would never go back there.

I like the Tokyo House the best. It seems like the best deal of Japanese food in town. The atmosphere is nice & the service is decent.

I’ve given up on Tokyo House. The salad is usually rusty iceburg and I hate that plastic lettuce on the plate with the shashimi. The service is dreadfully slow.

You need to try Saii Asian Bistro on May. Although the service can be a bit slow, the food is the best, served at the right temp, (which I think makes all the difference it the way it affects your tastebuds. The portions are very generous and the fish quality is supurb.

The biggest surprise is the owner is only 28 years old, and designed the gorgeous interior himself.

I thought this was a great place for sushi, great price, perfect amount, and very clean atmosphere. I also opted for the roll combo that was just the right amount of sushi.

The only thing I might suggest you be aware of, there is an little hint of a fishy smell when you walk in that might turn you off if that kind of thing bothers you. I haven’t experienced this at other sushi places like neko, saii and okura, just an fyi.

Overall I had a great experience.
