The rest of the review is the same:
I've only been once but overall it met expectations. They have good bento box lunch deals. It's very Americanized and a bit fast foody (like lots of fried stuff vs other cooking methods), which is to be expected in OKC, but not my fav as a part Japanese guy from Cali. It's a safe place to take the average Oklahoman group of people versus somewhere more traditional. This isn't a criticism because most sushi places have to do this to survive. They also make the effort to have some traditional stuff on the menu. Cold soba, for example, is something that I rarely see in OKC. I ordered it just for shits and gigs and it was one of the decent ones I've had in the city.
The rolls we got were good. Nothing really that stands out good or bad.
I ordered the tuna salad and it was decent, but weird due to having cold cooked mushrooms and other cold cooked veg on it. It was a while ago so I can't quite remember what type of mushroom, but it was a dense, slimy, pungent type. Maybe shiitake. It didn't go with it and was pretty distracting to the palette. I love both asian salads and mushrooms, but the combo was not flattering to the dish. It was kinda like if you threw yesterday's pizza toppings on a fresh salad (there were cold soggy bell pepps on it as well). Combining cooked, wet, cold veggies with crisp, raw, fresh veggies is something that needs a pretty good vision and execution to succeed. This is not an example of that. But who knows I guess someone had to like it at some point for it to be on the menu. I would advise however, that 95% of ppl will NOT expect this when they order a raw tuna salad at a Japanese restaurant. Yes, it is in the description of the item on the menu, but the thing is I like all those ingredients, so the description actually seduced me, but it wasn't until I ate it that I realized the combo was whack. Good dressing tho.
All in all, it's a perfectly serviceable place for people who are being introduced to Japanese cuisine, but it is far from traditional and essentially a carbon copy of any decent mid-tier Japanese places in OKC, besides the tuna salad which will haunt me in my dreams for eternity. JK, it wasn't bad, just weird.
