Love the intimate setting, delicious sushi variety and freshness of everything! Great service and ambiance. Can't wait to go back!

Exceptional Quality and Craftsmanship in Tulsa -- Mr. Nobu's Sushiya We recently visited Mr. Nobu's Sushiya, and overall, the quality of the food makes this a place the Tulsa community absolutely needs to support and help grow. The Standouts Incredible Nigiri: The salmon nigiri was superior--far larger than usual and easily outshining the quality at most other sushi restaurants in town. Tempura Shrimp Roll: An absolute highlight at just $11. They added broken tempura pieces to the outside, giving it an remarkably delicious, delightful crunch. Outstanding value and flavor. Craft Cocktails & Details: The cucumber and gin drink was crisp and delicious. We also appreciated the generous portions of wasabi and house-style white ginger (which is far better quality than the dyed pink variety). Areas for Improvement Sodium Sensitivity: The zucchini appetizer was good but noticeably salty. My husband limits sodium for medical reasons, and while staff confirmed the soy sauce was low sodium, it tasted quite high in sodium to us. Extra transparency or true low-sodium options would be helpful for guests with health restrictions. Ambiance & Space: The space is quite small. During our visit, the sushi bar felt a bit claustrophobic and the dining room felt tight. A larger space would let their expert sushi chefs truly shine. Happy Hour Opportunity: We rushed over expecting Happy Hour between 4:00 and 5:00 PM, only to find out it had been discontinued. The restaurant was very quiet during that hour. Bringing back and promoting an early happy hour could be a great way to fill that dead time and draw in a crowd. Final Thoughts Between the expert sushi chefs and the remarkable food quality, this has the potential to be the single best sushi spot in Tulsa if it gets the space to expand. Perhaps Simply opening the sushi bar to the dining room would make both rooms seem larger. As a bonus for travelers, Mr. Nobu's is on the Southwest Airlines Dining Awards list (3 points per dollar with a Rapid Rewards card), which is a huge perk if you're earning toward a Companion Pass! We will definitely be back. read more

The food is great and appears to be thoughtfully prepared, but I have mixed feelings about the service. Although reservations aren't required, I was taken aback at how the hostess seemed inconvenienced with the walk-in of my party of four. Thus, I recommend you make reservations. It would have also been helpful if their website stated these were encouraged. After checking with her manager, the hostess stated she could seat us at the sushi bar. There, service improved, but still felt a little inattentive. read more

We were disappointed to learn they no longer have a happy hour. We each got a cucumber saketini which is a light refreshing cocktail. We got the tempura shrimp roll and a 2 piece order of nigiri sushi. Both were excellent. We felt claustrophobic in the sushi bar, a small room behind closed doors. All the employees were welcoming and service oriented. read more

Mr Nobu’s - shrimp tempura (10pc) roll - Japanese Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Date night was sushi at Mr. Nobu's in south Tulsa! It was our first visit to the establishment, and it will now be our "go to" sushi place. From the drinks to the shrimp tempura appetizer and delicious sushi rolls, everything was wonderful! Service was quick, attentive, but not rushed. We were glad we found this hidden gem, and highly recommend! read more

What a nice restaurant! We made a reservation through OpenTable and were seated right away. Our server, Phong (I believe that's his name), was kind and attentive. The space itself is small and intimate, which added to the cozy atmosphere. Phong took the time to walk us through the menu, and I really appreciated the QR code that links to photos of the dishes! We started with the crispy lotus root and shrimp tempura. The shrimp tempura was great, but the lotus root didn't stand out for me. Phong recommended Mr. Nobu's omakase, and we were surprised. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We were worried it might be basic, but it included bluefin tuna, scallop, and other high-quality selections. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience! read more

I do not consider myself a sushi fan and this place was good enough all around (food, service, price) to bring me back. The rest of my family are sushi fans and loved it! read more

The service was wonderful. MAKE RESERVATIONS! The food was delicious, although The Disco Roll was spicier than we expected. The dining room was simply decorated. The fresh rose on the table was a pleasant touch and the room was noisier than we were hoping for, but at least there weren't 10 TVs playing sports! Had a great date night with my wife. We'll definitely go again. Next time we'll check out the Sushi Bar! read more

Disclaimer: I love Japanese food. I am from the Bay Area. I have been to Japan. I have eaten my way through quite a bit of Japanese restaurants including the very, very, very expensive omakase places. I was very tempted to give this place 2 stars but them trying, staying all Japanese (instead of serving multiple other Asian cuisines), and being one of the few omakase offering joints, I increased the rating to 3 stars. Even though I was tired from work, I knew I had to attend their grand opening which was quite disappointing to say the least. FOOD: - I ordered the house salad (I have always found that the dressing always reveals the personality of Japanese restaurants and NO there are NO tomatoes are shown in the pictures online) for $4, the classic rainbow roll for $19 to try as many of their offered toppings and raw fish, and spider roll for $10 as it's a classic and not many can truly hit the right texture and flavor profile. The Good // - fish is fresh - avocado is green - the rice is cooked and not rock hard or crunchy - the wasabi is not neon green - the ginger is natural and not the pink kind - water is refreshing and does not taste like tap water The Ugly // - the salad dressing is SOOO sour - they just used iceberg lettuce mix that you pull off the shelves - the sushi rice was so sticky (properly made and made well should melt and fall in your mouth... it shouldn't hurt your jaw to chew or digest); therefore, this itself destroyed the enjoyment of the sushi rolls - strange how you have to ask for wasabi and ginger instead of just arriving on the plate... I guess they are just trying to save on food costs? - disappointing with how they are striving for high end Japanese food, yet no natural wasabi is used or offered SERVICE: - I think this is the only restaurant post covid that I have seen to take the time to wipe down each menu with a Clorox/Lysol wipe (major brownie points!) - multiple servers - nice but reserved - crazy you have to ask for everything and coincidentally this happens when they are not present or have their backs turned - slightly offended they gave me a fork for the salad... - slightly annoying how they treat those who order a ton of food loads better than those who just want to taste the food (offering dessert, chef comes out, owner comes out, etc.) - owner is a Caucasian guy AMBIENCE: - very romantically and darkly lit so much so you cannot clearly see your food - it's not very relaxing... it feels very stern, very stuck up, and as if you always have to be on your toes since you have the feeling you are always being watched - love the modern decor, decor similarly seen in all high end Japanese restaurants PARKING / LOCATION: - when you call the number they call you with (I had a reservation for 9pm but they called me asking if I could do earlier), I called this same number and it leads me to the Mexican restaurant next door - there's a ton of pot holes in the parking lot - lots of parking and empty spaces Will I come back? I originally really wanted to come back when I saw they offered omakase. But after this experience, I feel I wasted a ton of money and am super disappointed. read more

My husband and I went to Mr. Nobu's for the first time Sunday evening. I had the house salad, dressed eel (my favorite), dressed akami (very close second), and dressed maguro. He had all that and the Tulsa Roll. Our server was fantastic. The food was excellent. Zero complaints. We will be back. 10/10 recommend if you are a sushi fan. read more

Atmosphere and Service Mr. Nobu's atmosphere is a refined blend of simplicity and modern design. The interior pairs classic red, black, stone, and wood with well-spaced, comfortable tables. Neon signage adds a contemporary edge, while koi fish and cherry blossom motifs bring in traditional charm. It's elegant and rooted in wa--perfect harmony. A hidden door leads to a traditional sushi bar, offering an elevated omakase experience that may be among the finest in Oklahoma. excellent service was provided throughout the evening. Dining Mr. Nobu's sushi rice is the best in Oklahoma and matches the likes of Mako in Chicago, Crab Cakes The first test came with the dreaded eel sauce and extra spicy mayo--and Chef Snow nailed it. Golden brown, delicately crisp on the outside, the crab cakes delivered a layered bite: soft, sweet crab melting into a creamy spice, then finishing with a bold jalapeño smoke that lingered just long enough. Americanized, yes--but rendered with skill and respect. Crispy Lotus Root Visually striking and texturally complex. The lotus root provided a sturdy crunch, while the tuna tartare blanketed the bite with velvety richness. Each element had purpose--the black garlic soy and hatch chili sauce offered smoky depth, while the roasted shishito hinted at bitter earth. A compelling bite with a surprise touch of char that kept pulling me back. Hamachi Sashimi Thinly sliced yellowtail presented beautifully, though the ponzu veered too acidic, drowning out some of the fish's more delicate flavors. That said, the jalapeño slice added a welcome kick, and the roe brought necessary texture and saline pop. A dish that came close--but ultimately leaned too far toward boldness at the cost of balance. Volcano Roll An American classic, elevated. The spicy mayo was used with restraint, allowing the seafood--scallop, crawfish, mussel--to show through. Each bite was warm, creamy, and rich, but still let the texture and flavor of the shellfish speak. Easily one of the most successful volcano rolls I've had in Tulsa. Dressed Nigiri Part of the omakase plate, each piece was thoughtfully composed. The otoro was a marvel--unctuous, rich, and nearly A5 wagyu in mouthfeel, coating the tongue in silken harmony. The chutoro was lifted with lemon zest and shiso, bringing brightness and lift to an otherwise buttery bite. The hamachi and mauro were well-prepared, but the hotate was overwhelmed by fiery yuzu kosho, masking the scallop's gentle sweetness. Still, overall, an impressive display of technique and restraint. Shrimp Boat Visually dramatic, this dish promised indulgence and delivered--almost. The firm shrimp, quail egg, and roe made for an engaging, layered texture. Unfortunately, the aggressive acidity from ponzu and Tabasco overwhelmed the palate. Matcha Tres Leches Silky, creamy, and visually appealing, this dessert leaned toward familiarity over innovation. The three-milk base was well-balanced and not overly sweet, but the matcha and coconut played only supporting roles. A dusting of matcha added just enough bitterness to lift the bite, but the overall effect was more restrained than memorable. Yuzu Cheesecake Bright and beautiful, this cheesecake was a standout. Notes of citrus cut through the richness with precision, while nutty sesame at the base added grounding texture. Each bite shifted gracefully from tart to creamy to toasty, making for one of the most thoughtfully constructed well composed cheesecakes in Tulsa. Sake Crème Brûlée The custard was velvety and perfectly set, with subtle sake notes warming the finish. A whisper-thin brûlée shell cracked delicately under the spoon, giving way to a creamy core that lingered with elegance. Refined, precise, and genuinely memorable. read more

Best sushi in Tulsa Everything was fresh my partner LOVED the nigiri said his favorite was the flounder and compared it to the sushi in Denver. The hamachi jalapeños had the best kick and was so soft. The crab cakes were crispy ob the outside and warm on the inside. Would def order both again. New favorite sushi spot for sure. It's nice and quiet and all the servers were very knowledgeable on all the fish and pairings! Must try for sure read more

Good: the quality and craftsmanship of the rolls Average: ambience - step above Sian Sushi (another good high quality sushi place in similar shopping center setting ), but a couple of steps below some of the other well known sushi establishments in town Bad: service was inattentive - saw one table take his check to the hostess because the wait staff hadn't returned to run his card. They did a good job of not rushing but needed to check in on occasion. We had three appetizers and I had to ask them to clear the app plates that sat there and piled up after each new delivery. read more

This place is excellent. Really blown away at the quality of the sushi. I ate it so fast I forgot to take pictures. But this place is going on the weekly rotation. read more

I'm from the west coast and I was not expecting to find amazing sushi in Tulsa. It is connected to Chimi's. The entrance is separate and not easy to find. The place looked full. The hostess sat us at the sushi bar in a separate room. Watching them make sushi was great. They take the time to explain their creations. Each dish was great. The atmosphere, service, and food were great! I will definitely come back the next time I'm in town. read more

We have been looking for a restaurant as good as Fuji used to be and we were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and helpful always sensitive to our needs. Finally, a Beef Sashimi to be proud of again. The special tuna nigiri plate, that is not on the menu, had some of the best toro and el toro I have had in a few years. Make sure and make a reservation or you will be sitting in the Chimi's bar and eating your sushi which was also a lot of fun. Keep this restaurant busy, because there are very few places that concern themselves with quality at a decent price. read more

I don't think I've ever ate at Fuji, but my husband says I did. Anyways, it was my friend's favorite sushi place and she was really sad when it closed down. Weirdly she has not been to Mr. Nobu. At first, she said she was gonna wait till they ironed out all the kinks from grand opening. But now I think she won't go cause she's scared it will disappoint her. Anyway, anyways I went to try it out for her today and I think she'll like it. The decor had a clean and modern Japanese restaurant feel. We were seated right away. they gave us a choice between the sushi bar or a regular table. We chose a regular table. Our waitress was not attentive, but the hostess stepped in and made sure everything ran smoothly. We never had to wait on anything. Our waitress took our order. And that was the last we saw of her. Our hostess brought out our food and our check. The food was really good. The crabcakes were one of the best I've had in Tulsa. With all the delicious toppings, it might be better than a Maryland crabcake. The shrimp tempura was a bit too oily, but batter was extra crispy. The tempura vegetables were also too oily, but again I liked how crispy they were. We split the caterpillar roll. My first bite was not enjoyable. It was very briney. But the second bite was better. read more

Food was great. Some familiar options from Fujis. Small space, walls are shared with Chimi's next door. Small sushi bar room is best seating in the house. read more

First time at this restaurant and had read great reviews. The menu variety was excellent and even the basics like edamame were treated uniquely. The apple pie cheesecake was incredible and we'll probably be dreaming about it. Excellent service and well-made cocktails rounded out the experience. read more

The atmosphere is chill and the waitress was bomb! Love it! We will be back! A lot! lol!

If you love sushi and I mean have a deep passion for eating delish raw fish there is no other sushi spot! The place is a little small for the amount of traffic they get (the word is out so make reservations), but the in side is very classy. Perfect setting for a romantic date or anniversary. The menus is perfect providing a variety of different rolls or sashimi to choose from without being overbearing with a million different options like most places. If you have a little extra cash and want a crazy cool experience you have to check out the omakase! The chef prepares multiple courses right in front of you to try and explains the how and why they are made. You will leave super full and educated! Can't say enough good things about the place and the owners, just good people. Check it out! read more

THIS is the best sushi restaurant in Tulsa. Pack it up, everyone else can go home. The atmosphere is simple yet elegant, their menus are gorgeously designed and filled with numerous epicurean delights. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable, they are clearly proud of their establishment. I highly recommend the eel dressed nigiri, it was my favorite. I was always a fan of Fuji when it was open, and am very pleased with Mr. Nobu's newest venture. read more

This is hands-down the best sushi that Tulsa has to offer. They have a private room that contains their sushi bar and Richard is an excellent sushi chef.

Best sushi we've had in Tulsa. Some of the freshest fish of all time. Josh and crew made sure that every dish served was visually stunning and on point. Very happy to stumble on this gem. Also happy to stumble onto the Drillers players - heard this is one of their faves. read more

Good ambience and okay service. Food is fine but still too expensive for its taste. Recommend the all the eel nigiri.

Food is amazing! We were able to sit at the bar in the Mexican restaurant connected to Mr Nobu's and had quick service. Best sushi ever.

This place is a hidden gem! Tucked away in a strip center and small, but classy dining area. Food and service were both amazing and the prices are very reasonable! We'll definitely be back again soon. read more

My husband and I loved Fugi when it was open in Tulsa, so after learning Mr. Nobu was opening a new restaurant we had to go. We made 5:30 reservations and were seated on time. The dining room is small and intimate. It got a little loud when a larger party arrive, but overall good atmosphere. The waitstaff was attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and helpful with recommendations. We started with the tako salad and miso soup. The octopus in the salad came in a perfectly balanced marinade of sweet and sour notes. The miso was a salty, umami rich counter point. The shrimp boat was an experience of its own. So many flavors, textures, and marriages in one. I could have eaten 5 of them! Next we had the Hamachi Jalapeño and Salmon Carpaccio. My husband enjoyed the hamachi calling it "tender with vibrant pronounced flavors". It was not as spicy as expected, but those sensitive to heat may find it spicy. The salmon carpaccio was fresh, sour, and herbaceous. When eaten with soy sauce it balanced well. We shared the beef sashimi and it was a firecracker! The chilis on it were SPICY. The beef was so tender and delicious, but beware if you don't generally eat spicy food. It is served with a side of sushi rice that was cooked perfectly. We shared a roasted eel nigiri that was sooo yummy, and the marinated Hotate was exceptional. A seared scallop with smoked trout roe and a dollop of spicy paste. My husband ordered the Volcano Roll. It was too spicy for me, but he loved it. I tasted the scallop on it and it was so so delicious. My favorite dish was the Alaskan hand roll. I've never eaten a hand roll before, think sushi taco. Fresh raw salmon, rice, avocado, massago, and real crab mixture rolled in seaweed. Sweet, savory, fatty, AMAZING! We finished our meal with the Crème Brûlée. The house made whip cream I would bathe in. The crème was made with sake and had a boozy flavor, but the texture was pure silk. The brûlée on top was magical and provided crunchy relief from the richness of the dessert. Overall a great night, and I am happy to eat Mr. Nobu's creations any day! read more

This is hands down the best sushi experience we have ever had. Our waiter advised us of some tuna that had been brought in that day, and chef Josh made us the most amazing chutoro nigiri imaginable. The decadent crabcakes along with the delightful uni nigiri made for an unforgettable dining experience that my wife and I will definitely be coming back for! read more

Made a reservation for 7:15, when we got there at 7:15 the host told us to expect about a 20 minute wait because they sat our table without a proper amount of time between guests. So we waited 20 minutes for our table. The first thing we ordered was the spicy edamame, it was the first to last thing that made it to our table. The food all was amazing. Beef sashimi was so good. Kind of spicy and paired really well with a side of rice. I asked for sushi rice and the server came back and said they ran out of sushi rice so they switched it to steamed rice which was fine but not preferred. Between the 4 of us we tried 3 cocktails, all of which tasted very medicinal and were not good but nonetheless got drank. We waited over 20 minutes for our first 2 cocktails and waited about 25 when i ordered a second drink. When i went to tell the server i still had not gotten my drink i was going to just cancel it because we were nearly done with our meal but she ran off and bought back a 20+ minute old cocktail. Management never did a table touch and asked how things were going etc. It is hard to say if i would go here again, the food was delicious and some of the best sushi i have had in Tulsa. But the service & wait on food/drinks especially is a huge downside. The building is very small with not much space between tables. There is a very small waiting area & they share a bar & bathroom with Chimi's. The restaurant ended up stop taking tables sometime around 7:45/8 because they ran out sushi rice, so they had to turn away a handful of tables while we were there.. read more
