    Mussels were pretty good.
    Kai L.

    Corner of the strip mall at Belle Isle with Walmart next to Penn Square Mall. After a hefty meal walk a few feet over to Tours le Jours for a dessert or a drink. We came for the AYCE. Their fried foods has too much batter and overly cooked. Their sashimi is fresh but not great quality just okay, sliced very small, so order at least 2 of each cut. Presentation was nice with the boat. Not much choice with fish variety, but all the common usuals are available: tuna, salmon, yellowtail, etc. Not as good if comparing to Yes Sushi, but they are only a month old so need to give them a chance. The service was amazing; our server Kat was phenomenal.

    Good service and plenty of options on the menu, everything was cooked well and service was great, sashimi is included in dinner price, really enjoyed the salmon hibachi and short rib. black pepper tuna is a must have dish!

    Great and new AYCE sushi place where you can also order appetizers, noodles, fried rice and other food. Attentive service and pretty large interior atmosphere (it used to be a Pei Wei's but they combined that place with the space that used to be The Cove too). Very much recommended, check it out bro!

    Came here after church and it was pretty quiet and not too busy. Invited some of the young ones from my church to try it out. We for sure left with our bellies full and happy. Ordered a good amount of rolls and nigiri. Would we come back? Of course we would!

    Food and service was very good, we've been waiting patiently for them to open ever since we saw the signs go up. For $20 all in lunch I was very pleased with the large selection on the menu as well as how quickly they prepared food. The restaurant was very nice and had a large space with traditional tables as well as high walled booths for privacy. Will definitely be returning with its proximity to my job.

    I went with my husband here and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We were hungry and got a lot…read moreof food. To share we got the crunchy rice tuna and the blossom roll with a mix of the fish options (like a rainbow roll). The crunchy rice tuna has such a nice combination of textures with a little crunch from the rice and creaminess from the avocado and fish. The roll was delicious. Fresh fish, the rice in the roll was just as it should be-not too mushy (a problem I find with a lot of sushi places I've tried in Oklahoma) or too firm. For myself I got the sashimi tasting which was an absolutely delicious assortment of seafood. All of the pieces were well seasoned and tasted fresh. My husband got the fried chicken and sukiyaki. He was very pleased with both. As a bonus I got a cheesecake because we were celebrating my birthday and they gave us each a shot. I appreciate that they gave me a non-alcoholic shot since I don't drink alcohol. Overall the food was fantastic and the service was great but it comes with a corresponding price tag. Was it worth it? In my opinion, yes, most definitely. I will say though that if you don't care for seafood there are options for you, but you likely won't appreciate this place nearly as much as someone who does.

One of our friends ordered the sushi set as his entree, which comes with 5 pieces of nigiri and a sushi roll. He only got the nigiri (salmon, regular tuna, mackerel, and 2 tamago nigiri). When we brought it to one of the servers attention, she told us it was an either/or option. After talking with other friends, they told us they received both, and the nigiri was higher quality, like toro. Three of our friends ordered the pork katsu. One of the katsus was brought out early and the other two took some time. After the other two katsus came out, it was noticeable that the first one was probably refried, which made us think it was old and they didn't want to waste it. We also learned that our other friends said that when they went, the server told them that if there was anything they liked, they could ask for more to be brought to the table. Our server did not tell us this. And the sad part is that they actually took some dishes away from the buffet and didn't refill it, which was the salmon sashimi. Overall, I feel like the experience was disappointing and the advertising was misleading. There wasn't much fresh fish available, as one might think. Sounds like service isn't equal and great across the board. Some friends enjoyed the weekend lunch buffet, some other friends had the same experience we did.

As far as the food goes: Chicken karage- popcorn chicken but light and airy 10/10. Cowboy roll- a roll for the typical American palette. Not very Japanese and not my personal preference.

    The first thing we noticed (besides the stellar reviews on Yelp--impressive new restaurant) was the…read moreawesome Japanese pop playing (including some 1980's hits). Having been to Tokyo and and everyone LOVING Japanese culture in my family, we immediately felt like we were in Shinjuku/central Tokyo. The smell of an Izakaya (grilled meat and veggies), cozy atmosphere, music, authentic beer/drink offerings--all added to this perfect nostalgia for us. This was before I had even taken a bite! Secondly, I had excellent and attentive service. Did not catch the young person's name who waited on us, as I was focused on celebrating with my kiddo (just did a big violin audition), but they did a wonderful job and we wanted for nothing. Let's get to the food already! - Gyoza--crispy and savory, so they were perfect. The sauce, I loved as it was custom blended instead of the sweet, gooey gravy folks give you at other places. Very fresh, very hot. - Enoki Chips - crispy, light and airy fried, thin mushrooms. Tiny bit of chili spice, some green onions, and lemon. I recommend dipping in gyoza sauce or getting extra green onion or both. - Garlic Tonkatsu - yes, I love this basic ramen! However, NAZO doesn't do it "basic" every aspect is flavorful and generous. Garlic, sweet/smokey char siu pork, greens, onion, bamboo, egg, some cool cracker/noodle thing that tasted nice, seaweed-- we were so full! Had to take half home! However, it didn't stop us from.... - NY Cheesecake! Yes, the authentic kind. It was very good with whipped cream and chocolate on top (I'm normally a purist, this was very good though). Cheesecake was a tiny icy as it was probably frozen ( their specialty is tempura cheesecake, so freezing before frying is a must). This didn't make us like it any less. We still ate 75% even in a severe fullness state from eating everything else. Oh, and beer Echiban (love this Japanese beer company) it was their blue can, lager/IPA style. Not too hoppy though. I prefer the red can of Echiban, like a red lager. They also have cocktails, wine, and soju (sochu)--don't know which is Japanese and which is the Korean version. So, if you like that sweet, alcoholic stuff, they have that too. Of course, they have a comprehensive saki list. I was sticking to beer this time, I'll try some next time and report back. Overall, a very nice, tasty Japanese restaurant that offers a variety of options (ramen, steamed buns, rice dishes, sushi, I'm sure they can make some Izakaya grilled meats b/c they mentioned some Wagyu appetizer). Date night, hangs with friends/family--it's about perfect! Keep it up, and much success to you on opening this new spot in central OKC/midtown adjacent (it's right next to RJ's Bar)!

They have outdoor seating available, but we decided to sit inside where everything was neat, tidy, and running like a well-oiled machine. The staff throughout the restaurant were friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Unfortunately, our first table felt like it was sitting directly under the Arctic Circle, so we politely asked to be moved. Thankfully, that wasn't a problem. Once relocated, we landed in Ms. Jemara's section. Ms. Jemara was a sweet young lady with a warm smile, a friendly personality, and excellent customer service. She was attentive, welcoming, and checked on us throughout our meal without hovering. For drinks, my sister ordered a Coke while I went with a glass of water and an Orion beer. For appetizers, I ordered the Chicken Karaage and a side of Gyoza. For my main course, I chose the Vegan Miso Butter Corn Ramen and added a Nitamago egg. The Chicken Karaage was nice and crispy and made for a good starter. The Gyoza was enjoyable as well. As for the ramen, it was decent--certainly not the best I've ever had, but far from the worst. What surprised me was learning that the owners are from Okinawa, Japan. I was expecting a broth packed with rich, bold flavor, but this vegan broth came across a little milder than I anticipated. To be fair, this was my first time trying a vegan ramen broth, so that may have played a role. Since I don't eat pork, I've sampled quite a few different styles of ramen over the years, and while this bowl was good, I've personally had more flavorful versions elsewhere. Even so, the restaurant was clean, the service was excellent, and Ms. Jemara helped make the experience an enjoyable one.

They had fun, enjoyed the show, and left happy... and honestly, that's what mattered most. That said, as someone who has been to many hibachi restaurants over the years, this experience was a bit of a mixed grill. We made reservations (which ended up not being necessary since lunch was not busy--definitely a plus) and were seated quickly at the grill. Our waiter was attentive throughout the meal, keeping drinks refilled and checking in regularly. Appetizers ordered: Edamame, Calamari, Takoyaki, and Tobiko sushi. * The edamame was spot on. * The takoyaki (fried octopus balls with sauce, mayo, and bonito flakes) was a pleasant surprise and very good. * The calamari came out greasy and overcooked, though the flavor itself was decent. * The Tobiko sushi? Let's just say the crunchy, salty pop of flying fish roe wasn't a hit with anyone except me. Everything arrived piping hot, which is good--but definitely required caution when eating. For soup and salad, everyone chose the soup while I went with the salad. The salad was underwhelming--just iceberg lettuce and dressing. I sampled the soup and found it hot, but the flavor seemed off and not to my liking. The biggest issue was timing. Despite being the only hibachi group seated, there was a long delay--well over 15 minutes--between appetizers and the chef arriving at the grill. Thankfully, we had plenty of appetizers to bridge the gap. When the chef did arrive, the presentation was fun and energetic. Our grandsons loved it, and that's the key takeaway. While the performance didn't wow me personally, the kids were fully entertained, and all entrées were cooked to everyone's liking. One small disappointment: most hibachi places do something special for birthday guests, but there was no acknowledgment here. Not a deal-breaker--especially with Pie Junkie just up the street--but worth mentioning. A few final notes: * Salt & pepper shakers and soy sauce bottles appeared sticky, as if not wiped down between seatings. * My wife mentioned the restroom was not clean--the floor felt sticky, and it was a shared restroom for men and women, which could use more attention. Bottom line: This was a mixed experience--some good, some not so good. Personally, I wouldn't return, having experienced stronger hibachi restaurants elsewhere. However, our grandson left smiling, and we were able to give them the birthday experience they wanted--and that made it worthwhile. Three stars feels fair.
