The Most Scrumptious Japanese in Oklahoma City

Nooki

★★★★☆ 4.4 (89) • $$

"I'm impressed. Actually, I'm blown away! My mom and I were in Stillwater for a baseball game and we were craving anything besides burgers and bbq (no-offense)... we were surprised to find this new concept/fast casual poke restaurant. I was amazed by the quality! I've had poke in Hawaii so my standards have been set pretty high.... this place is probably the best I've had in Oklahoma! Hands down. The ambience was welcoming and modern. And the customer service was outstanding! Their menu is simple but at the same time, the options vary so your taste buds can go on a sushi/poke adventure! I had the sushi burrito (I've only had these out-of-state so I was excited to see one on the menu) and wow, that first bite blew my mind! It was super crispy, savory and fresh! Adding wonton chips was genius!!! And you get a lot of food for only $10. My mom had some shrimp tempura & miso soup and she enjoyed it! She said the miso soup was full of flavor!If I was a college kid in Stillwater, I be a regular! It's that good and I would want to try everything on the menu! Go ahead and give Nooki a try if you're in the area!"

Kyoto

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (59) • $$

"We spent the day traveling to Duncan. We did Chinese takeout from here. I couldn't order sushi in the middle of Oklahoma. The food was ok. I ordered the Moo Goo Gai Pan, but it lacked flavor. They did not have wonton soup, so I got an egg drop, and I didn't like it. The egg roll was okay, but I had better. My husband got Szechuan Beef and said it had no spice, but it was okay. My father got the Pepper Steak and had no complaints, except for the lack of wonton soup. It was fast, and my husband picked it up. He said the place was fine inside. He stated many doordash people were waiting to be taken out. We will give it another chance the next time in Duncan and order differently."

"Their lifesaver roll is the bomb! Service is great and ambiance is cool. I always make a stop here when I come into town."

Tokyo Pot

★★★★★ 4.6 (261) • $$

"Tokyo Pot is a really fun place, and we wonder why does Stillwater have this and not Manhattan (KS) where we live!? Eric R. made reservations several weeks in advance because we knew it would be a busy weekend in town for the Mid-South Gravel Race. When we arrived on time for our reservation, we were initially seated in a this weird dark room away from the entire rest of the restaurant. It was very cold and quiet, no atmosphere. Eric R. asked several times to move and finally they relented and got us a table in the main, much larger, well lit dining area with music in the background. Our server Sophie was an absolute gem. She had waters and a giant can of Sapporo with two frosty glasses for us, and shared honestly about the entree sizes, but we still ordered with our eyes. Eric R. got the large ribeye entree, and I ordered the lamb entree. Both came with rice and veggie trays with cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, tofu and rice noodles. He chose the spicy broth and I chose the Mongolian broth. On the table were soy sauce, ponzu, and "no name spicy" which was similar to sweet chili. The ponzu was a bit sweeter than I was used to also. Then Sophie brought us condiments: grated garlic, grated daikon, and chopped green onions! We were given bowls with spoons for eating, metal chopsticks, and then spoons for getting food or broth out of the induction hot pots in front of us. We also got bowls of whisked egg which we could dip our meat in before cooking or create "egg drop soup" in our broth.We really enjoyed the experience, though I was only used to shabu shabu being with konbu in water rather than flavored broths. The other option was teriyaki which is basically the traditional sukiyaki, but the two we chose were not really Japanese-style, which is okay. It was still delicious and fun!I was really amazed when I learned our server's hometown was where my grandfather was born (5 years before Oklahoma became a state) as it is a very small town. This was a really great experience and good carbs and protein for Eric R. before his big race the next day. Our jackets smelled extremely strong like the broths so you will need to wash any clothes you wore inside! Itadakimasu!"

Sakana Sushi Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (81) • $$

"We went because we were told they cooked at your table, but they don't . Service was great. Quick and accommodating . The soup and salad was some of the best we've had at similar restaurants! The rest of the meal was just alright. I would come back for the soup and salad but would try different entree.I should also add that they do not honor the Yelp check in offer."

Inaka Sushi & Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (210) • $$

"Finally decided to give Inaka a try and they didn't disappoint! They offer a lunch special daily until 3pm. It's only $11 and you get to choose 2 entrees from an array of sushi rolls, hibachi, or other entree. Plus you get miso soup and a house salad!! I got the shrimp tempura roll and chicken katsu. The portions were great, especially for the price- i was expecting half portions. You can't go wrong with shrimp tempura and the roll was HUGE! The katsu was crispy, but still tender- and the katsu sauce had a nice kind of bbq tang compared to other katsu sauces I've tried. The ginger salad was so good, one of the best I've ever had. I went on a solo lunch, but the ambience would be great for a date night. They have a full bar as well if you'd like a drink with your meal! My server was very kind and had great pacing throughout my meal. I never felt rushed, nor did I find myself waiting for my server. I'll definitely be returning with friends!"

Sapporo Sushi Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (106) • $$

"Lunch special is a good deal even if you only eat the rolls.Rolls are made with high-quality ingredients better than a popular sushi spot that rhymes with zolcano.Salad was mostly Iceberg.Clear soup was very mild tasting.If in the area, I am likely to order from here againAlso, it is worth noting that all utensils and condiments were included, and everything was nicely packed.Service was good for take out"

Saki Sushi Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (129) • $$

"Great place to get sushi. Service is always good and you can sit and have a conversation. Ambiance...perfect!If your waiter is Josh, you are going to enjoy your visit!"

Ninja Sushi Station

★★★★☆ 4.4 (120) • $

"I got the mother roll this time. Good quality and fast service. Must have weighed 1/2 pound."

Koto Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi

★★★★☆ 4 (101) • $$

"Yummy- food is good! Service is good! Overall a good place to eat when you are hungry! They are quick, fulfilling and happy to have you patronize."

Wasabi

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (52) • $$

"Ever since I left Cheyenne I've been trying to find a hibachi restaurant to compare to it. It's been 1 year and I still haven't found any place like it."

Sake Japanese Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (47) • $$

"Excellent service.Portions were much more than anticipated.I ordered their dinner bento with chicken katsu for takeout... I prefer to pick up my food... still don't trust third party meal delivery services... back to the food.Great packaging for takeout orders.The hot section was hot and the old section was cold. I must have been to get a big serving of miso soup packed in a reliable container.4 stars for my takeout experience here. If you don't have time to dine in, I recommend their takeout.One day I'll trust those third party delivery services."

Little Taiyaki

★★★★★ 4.7 (15)

"This Heatwave is a little more bearable with the help from Little TaiyakiWorth the drive to Main st Sapulpa. Cute little family owned Japanese inspired Soft Serve shop that specializes in unique soft serve flavors with monthly changing flavors. If you've never had Taiyaki, Taiyaki is a Japanese fish-shaped waffle cake, commonly sold as street food. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened adzuki beans. They also have chocolate, Nutella, Oreo and my personal favorite Mozarella!It's a perfect bite, crispy sweetened waffle on the outside and salty gooey cheesy on the insideThis shop also has the cute smaller version, shaped called Chibiyaki also available with the same fillings and sold in bags of 7 or 14Hang out in the cool a/c of the cute little shop and enjoy your sweet treats, or right around the corner there is a lovely flower filled memorial park with shaded seating and music.Plenty of fun shopping within walking distance as well."

Saii Asian Bistro and Sushi Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (314) • $$

"The food is absolutely delicious! The dishes have such a richness. Every bite has something good to offer!"

Lake House Sushi & Hibachi Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (15)

"Love the sushi and rice bowls. Great variety. Awesome sushi. Quickly convenient good service."

Shogun Steak House Of Japan

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (119) • $$

"This place is awesome and rad AF - also features cool Japanese art like Hokusai prints throughout. Moreover, their hibachi is delicious (a cook performs the cooking in front of you and the waitress service is prompt and attentive) and the least expensive chicken meal comes with a nice salad, sautéed mushrooms, grilled vegetables, complimentary shrimp, dipping sauces with the chicken meat pieces and a tasty fried rice side. Their Shirley Temples are also excellent, as is their green matcha ice cream. Highly recommended!"

Nagoya Japanese Sushi & Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (68) • $$

"Been craving hibachi for awhile. Decided to make the trip to stillwater today to try out Nagoya. 10/10 will be coming back. I ordered the sweet potato roll for my son to munch on while our food was being cooked. I forget the chefs name, but he was perfect. We're sorry we weren't more talkative, but we were trying to keep our 17 month old occupied & entertained. Food was BOMB. Like we both couldn't stop eating, it was that good. We decided to bring the rest of our plates home instead of being miserable on our drive back. I've had a good amount of hibachi, but this easily took the #1 spot."

Kudo Japanese Steak and Sushi

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (146) • $$

"The food was decent, and the restaurant itself needed some sprucing up and our waiter didn't ask if I was allergic to seafood. I would have given this place 3 stars but have it 4 because of our chef Chris! He was funny, engaging, had a bunch of cool tricks, and jokes for the table. This is when good customer service makes a big difference. I might not have yelped if not for the fun we had with Chris. He's got a bright future!"

Shiki

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (99) • $$

"There were six of us tonight and decided to eat teppanyaki tonight. There is plenty of parking outside so no problem there and since it was 5:30pm on a Wednesday not too busy yet. Everyone ordered a variety of food from shrimp, scallops, steak, chicken and my salmon to top it off. I myself am not a big fan of the tricks with the cooking utensils and eggs being tossed into the air, but this place serves you large portions of food for a reasonable price. They also did a good job of keeping my water glass full so definitely no complaints there. I do recommend if you are hungry for teppanyaki and don't mind a little showmanship."

Hibachi Supreme Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (210) • $$

"I've been here a few times and it's always pretty great! I don't know if it's the whole bar of desserts and sweets or the huge variety of protein to choose from, but I love it all. They have a lot of tables and plenty of room if you have a larger party! The tables were clean and the inside was a little outdated, but it doesn't take away from the great food! Before you go get yourself some ice cream!"

Nami Korean Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (92) • $$

"BEST SUSHI EVER!!! I've been to a few other sushi places and nothing else tops them unlike Nami. Anytime I crave shushi I come here. Bulgogi is really delicious and their ramen as well! Friendly staff, very patient and calm during crazy busy nights. Inside the restaurant, the decor is beautiful and the place in general feels cozy and comfortable"

Takaramono

★★★★☆ 4.3 (29)

"All around great experience! My husband and I came in today. We had reservations for a late lunch, 2:15pm. We waited for maybe 5 minutes while our table was prepared. The hostesses were very nice!The food was incredible. My husband and I were blown away by how great everything we got tasted. Something to mention though, this is elevated Asian cuisine. This isn't your 'California roll from some other sushi place in town.' This is higher quality, so the prices might seem high for what you get, but again, it's not the typical sushi restaurant.Our server, Lupita, was very friendly and made great suggestions! They did just open so I would definitely recommend a reservation. And honestly I would recommend coming at an off time/day, I would imagine even with a reservation coming on a Friday or Saturday night would be very busy. Overall it was a great experience and I can't wait to come back! I will be dreaming of that crunchy rice tuna until then!"

WAGYU Japanese BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.7 (303) • $$

"This place is really fun! It's like the melting pot but with meat and veggies! We went for lunch and did the all you can eat! It's a ton of food and it was really yummy!The waiter was attentive and the others walking by checked on us too. We sampled all the meats, corn, mushrooms, noodles, fried rice, zucchini, calamari, and all was tasty! I ordered the Vanessa house sour and it was great! Love seeing local brews in the metro! The inside was nice and comfy!"

Thai Delight Broadway

★★★★☆ 4.3 (203) • $$

"My family loves eating here. The sushi is good. The Thai food is good. Typically get the pad Thai at a two spice level. There is a lot choices on the menu."

Asahi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (53) • $$

"This was a good detour off the main road on the way back to OKC. I fell in love with their wontons and sweet and spicy chili sauce as an appetizer. The Rainbow Roll was delicious. The katsu was good, but the sauce tasted like A1. It would have been nice to have a glaze over the meat or something. The udon noodles were tender and soft, shrimp was bursting with flavor, but I didn't care for the sauce. It tasted bitter, like perhaps it was burned or overheated. It was still a fulfilling meal as I was starving. The service was great and I would like to try other sushi rolls or the Bento Box next time."

U Shabu Japanese Hot pot

★★★★★ 4.7 (14)

"I love eating at U Shabu. I have tried their lunch and dinner menu. Both are delicious and have a lot of options. They have several flavors of broth. If you ask they'll let you sample a little before you start dining. However whichever broth you choose, that's the one you stay with during the meal. They provide you with a sheet of paper and you put down what you want each time you order. You can eat as much as you want. You cook our own meats, noodles, and veggies. You get dipping sauces. Let me tell you it is SO good! I'm salivating just writing this review. I've tried almost everything and nothing is bad here. The food is always fresh, plentiful, and the service is top notch. I love coming here and I recommend them to everyone!"

Samurai

★★★★☆ 3.5 (177) • $$

"Came here for the first time while in Lawton and I was very pleased with the food and prompt service. This little restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but once inside you feel warm and welcomed. There's a bar in the far corner with a tv behind as well as another flat screen television on the wall. We were seated quickly and our orders were served very hot and tasted delicious too!! We each sampled one another's food and enjoyed every bite! I definitely recommend coming here for anyone in the Lawton area and will be back again!!"

Tokyo Moon OKC

★★★★☆ 4.4 (127) • $$

"It was my friend's birthday and she loves sushi, so decided to give them a try for lunch. The restaurant is beautiful. The menu has a lot of options. Everything was great! KHANG was our server and he was so friendly. Before tip it was $59, and we left stuffed! Thank you for a wonderful meal."

Thai Delight Norman

★★★★☆ 4 (192) • $$

"Stumbled upon here one day because of the large amount of reviews! I dined in here on a weekday right when they opened. There were tons of open spaces and i noticed tables set up enough for rather large parties. They had an awesome lunch menu everything from bento boxes to single sushi rolls or orders of pad thai which you get to pick one side for $10. My food was pretty good the chicken pad Thai was just the right amount of spice i got a level 2 out of 5. The ginger salad was not great the dressing was watered down so i just took one bite of that.Service was attentive and friendly my water cup never went below half full. Overall this was a great space to grab a quick bite and the prices and variety were awesome!"

Ichiban Sushi Bar & Poke Norman

★★★★★ 4.7 (50)

"This place is amazing! The decor in the restaurant is so fun to look at. The ceiling is enough for 5 stars on its own. Everyone was so nice also.I ordered the uni shooter. I wasn't sure what I expected but it was a cool experience. I'd never had uni nor quail egg before. I'm sad I didn't check the picture I took before I drank it. I also had the black pepper tuna roll and the sea lobster roll. They were both of exceptional quality. The fish was very fresh. My daughter had the tri color sushi. It came with soup and salad. I don't like miso soup but theirs is seasoned in a way that i actually was ok with the taste. That's a first for me. I think I have a new favorite sushi restaurant. I can't wait to go back."

Hana Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.9 (107) • $$

"What a great sushi restaurant in an unexpected area. I too had very good sushi, appetizers and service. I only disliked the aquarium behind the chef's bar. Poor things live in terror watching all the carnage."

Sumo 2 Japanese Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (145) • $$

"So, we were wanting hibachi and not wanting to travel far so we decided to come check out Sumo. It was above and beyond amazing! Service was great, chef was amazing and my goodness the food was the best I've had in a very long time. Give them a shot! Don't let the age or the building discourage you from dining here. I will be back! We had filet shrimp lobster fried rice with soup and salad. All amazing! Mustard and ginger her sauces far better than yum yum! Ask for them:)"

Samurai Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.2 (220) • $$

"Found this restaurant when ordering take out one night and it is now my staple sushi place. Truly the best sushi I have had in town. This is always my go to now. The restaurant itself is a cute hole in the wall. The staff is nice."

I Sushi

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (27) • $$

"I always order online (OrderUp) at this place. The order however is delivered from this location. The guy who often delivers is a bit uh....brisk. I wouldn't say rude, but he is not very warming either. Okay, on to the food.Things I loved:Spicy Cowboy - this is my atf roll. It is tasty and spicy but not overdone. I love this roll.Things I liked:California roll and Super California roll - both are great and your standard CA rolls.Philly Roll - Actually quite tasty. I never opt for Philly Rolls but I had to try theirs and it was good.Caterpillar Roll - Flavorful and filling. I was pleased.Things I did not like:The Oklahoma Roll - This I imagine is something you have to eat at the restaurant. It did NOT travel well at all and left a lot to be desired.I also did not like the amount of ginger they add in each box. Even asking for extra ginger, I still barely had enough for me and my fiance to enjoy. What can I say?! I like ginger!Overall I think it would be a good option for take out. I do not think I would eat in. I prefer Full Moon for sushi night out."

Musashis Japanese Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4 (239) • $$$

"This is THE place to go for hibachi in OKC. Great atmosphere, decor, chefs, and food. Service from both the waitress and hibachi chef were outstanding! We both had steak and it was so good. It's traditional hibachi and the highest caliber."
