Tulsa Food

“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 [...]

No one would ever walk along the drab, nondescript blocks of Third Street west of Main without a reason. Now there is a very good reason. Turn into a doorway just past Boulder and you will be here. It’s a well-lit place with high ceilings, but you’re not here for the decor. You’re here for [...]

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 [...]

High-end meals don’t have to come with big price tags in this town.  My research is turning up some great deals on all kinds of fine dining, we’re even finding wine deals. But here I’m going to tell you about the best of the best, sushi deals and steak specials. It was while eating Fuji’s [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year again!  However we are not talking about Christmas, but rather the Tulsa State Fair!  The Fair, running from October 1 to October 11, is a smorgasbord of sights, smells, events and most importantly food!  This year is no different.  In the hundred years since the first Tulsa [...]

Latest visit to New World Buffet… I have noticed that over the years Chinese buffets in Tulsa have been getting worse. I don’t know if it is objectively related to the lost quality of such buffets or I myself have been getting pickier about food and décor lately. Nevertheless, it has become difficult for me [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
