“Noooo, don’t order that! It has raw fish in it!” Some of the waitresses heard me and cringed, or perhaps snickered. This is not the best line to use in a sushi restaurant if you want to show the world your sophistication. But last night it made sense. There have been quite a few reviews [...]

Near the corner of 41st and Memorial is what looks like a boarded-up abandoned storefront. Most people pass it without a second glance. I’ve driven by countless times without stopping. That’s a mistake. Stop, park your car, walk through that unmarked and singularly unprepossessing door … and you’re in Japan. On the lanterns is the [...]

When I’m in the mood for sushi I become an unstoppable force. Nothing but a straight line and time separate me from fulfilling this craving. With a variety of fish flown in twice weekly, Fuji’s sushi menu is where I look for some of Tulsa’s freshest sushi. Fuji has been serving authentic sushi for 25 [...]

“The pork belly ramen at the relaunched Yokozuna … this is the stuff of LEGEND!” That was the first text, and it was from someone I trusted. Two more texts like that, and I was on my way to Yokozuna. That part of town looks like an Edward Hopper painting. We bravely marched up to [...]

Sushi is my favorite food, so anytime I hear of a new sushi place opening I always want to try it out. Recently my husband and I visited the new Osaka in Broken Arrow. We originally went to try the hibachi, and our first visit was New Years Eve. They had apparently WAY overbooked, so [...]

Valentine’s Day is a special time to really show what you are made of to your spouse. This year we are really challenging you to go above and beyond to express one thing…that’s Love. We know that Tulsa isn’t the city of love, however, there are many locally owned romantic restaurants that are sure to [...]

Several different Sushi restaurants have opened up around Tulsa in the past year and of course there are some that have been around for a while. I am going to try as many of them as I can. This idea started in March 2009, when I went to Tokyo Garden and had my first taste [...]

I never really expect to find a hidden treasure inside of a grocery store, but my perception changed this past week when I got invited to a business meeting in a very unusual place. When I first got the phone call to have a lunch meeting at Reasor’s grocery store in Jenks I thought to [...]

Sometimes just eating out for a special occasion isn’t good enough. I know I personally enjoy dinner and a show, or some type of 3-phase night that involves great food and entertainment. At Shogun, for a friends birthday we got our 3-phases all in one place. After a drink at the bar, we were seated [...]

Let’s help her out by reading her request below and making any comments to help her in this quest. Thanks so much! Please submit any stories and requests you might [...]

Upon arriving at the Taste of Bixby, I was excited about the event. I was a little less thrilled when I walked in the door having already paid $22 on this event that had been advertised as $15 on the Chamber of Commerce website. Now don’t get me wrong I don’t mind paying the $22, [...]

I have always really enjoyed sushi but haven’t had a chance to explore the many different sushi restaurants in Tulsa. The only sushi I had had in Tulsa previously was at Tsunami Sushi and although the food was good the lack of management, service and atmosphere did not inspire me to return. So I was [...]

If you think you’ve had sushi, let me just tell you that you haven’t unless you have experienced it from the true South, and by that I mean Cabos, Mexico.  This was served up by a Cabo chef in Palm Springs at Crazy Joes Sushi.  This sushi roll is tempora shrimp wrapped in soy topped [...]

After these comments were made on Tulsa Food, I decided to try Haruno. It is a new Sushi place but also serves Korean food. According to Haruno’s website, it is a “Pan-Asia restaurant specializing in Japanese sushi and Korean cuisine.” The restaurant’s atmosphere had a fine dining feel and look without the formality or price [...]

Hey Tulsa Food reads check out all the comments on the Wasabi post from Petunia Bloom back in June. Interesting comments about new ownership and possibly some explanations to all the less then satisfactory changes they are making over at Wasabi Sushi on Memorial Dr by the Woodland Hills Mall. Wasabi in Tulsa – NEW [...]

So a friend of mine found out that I had never had sushi and freaked out.  He said that I had to try it.  Well folks, needless to say, I was not looking forward it at all.  I have a tough time just eating fish period…now I am suppose to eat it raw…FREAKIN’ RAW!!!!!!!!  Yuck, [...]

Ryan and I have been eating at Asahi in Tulsa for two years. This new sushi place, Wasabi, opened across from Asahi on the other side of 71st. I got Ryan to take me there two weekends ago. When we walked in the wait staff looked familiar. Then we sat down and got our menus’wait’¦.. [...]

Te Kei’s has the best Asian food in Tulsa. The ambiance of their modern décor and the aroma of the air will literally “take you away”. It’s an awesome upscale eatery with reasonably priced lunch entrée’s and a vast dinner and wine menu. I’ve visited Te Kei’s many times, but my most memorable was a [...]

If you love sushi, and you haven’t visited In The Raw, you’re missing out! It’s on the popular “Brookside” in Tulsa. With reasonable prices, and its dimly lit classy atmosphere, it’s a great spot for a business lunch or dinner date. They offer valet parking, and reservations in the evening. And the atmosphere, service, food, [...]
