Best sushi and Asian food in Bartlett. The customer service is excellent, too. I love the sugar peanuts and the free fruit desserts!!

Better than most carry out Japanese places. Lots of choices on the sushi side. Small but clean and well kept. Very nice staff that want you to be happy with your meal. Give them a try and you wil likely come back. I know I will when I am back in town. read more

So glad we decided to go to this restaurant. The rice was completely delicious, perfectly done and plenty of flavors along with the chicken. Adding the yum yum sauce and soy sauce to the fried rice made a great combination. Customer service was awesome, very friendly staff. I will definitely go back to try more options. I wish I had ordered a second plate! read more

Solid food options. Way cheaper than other places but still good quality. Sushi is a little on the small side at times but the price reflects that. Will definitely return. read more

Everything that I've ordered from this restaurant has tasted amazing! Also, everyone that works there are very nice and they keep the restaurant very clean. They take a lot of pride in their place of work and it shows in the food in the way it tastes down to the presentation. I live in Millington and will drive 30 plus minutes to come here!!!! read more

Oec Japanese Express - Japanese Near Me - Bartlett, Tennessee

OEC is great! They have sooo many options and I want to try all of them. Considering how much I've spent here I think I'm well on my way to doing just that. I really like all of their fried rolls. You really can't go wrong with any of them. And I love the odd sugary peanuts they give you to munch on while you wait for your food. I've never seen something like it before but trying to pick those little guys up with chopsticks keeps me busy. Great sushi and dexterity practice - what more could you ask for in a restaurant. Also, one of their fish in their tank has a constant look of shock on his face. I don't know why but I always make sure give him a "hello". read more

Wonderful fresh food! Staff is friendly & welcoming and maintains a clean place. They keep me fed for work! They're great!

I went to this location looking for okonomiyaki, but they do not offer it. Google serves this up as a location to procure said vendor food. When I stopped by, they informed me they do not make it. Actually, I think she said she didn't know what it was. So, there's that. read more

I've been seeing this restaurant for years. A coworker told me about the fried rice and spring rolls. I ordered them and they were delicious. The space is small but very clean and the staff was friendly and professional. My food was cooked to order. The rice and rolls were light but filling. This is my go to for fried rice and spring rolls. read more

Our family absolutely loves this place, we get takeout from here weekly. The fried rice or noodle combos are huge and add some sushi and you can't go wrong. If you make a call in order do add about 10 minutes to when they tell you to arrive but it is well worth the wait. The staff is very friendly and pace is nice and neat. Great place. read more

My absolute favorite sushi! Consistently great food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices!! My favorite is the Shrimp Tempura Roll.

This is the best Sushi place around! . The variety is wide, super service with a smile & even a hug when I mentioned I had just left a funeral.. it's popular with the locals and you can get take out even. Prices are good too. I got a fresh yellowtail roll & the Deep Fried Sunshine roll, both fresh and delish. If eating in you get a saucer of peanuts with some sort of sugar & small bits of what might be lychee & after you've been eating your yummy food along came some fresh slices of watermelon!! I Know Right!! I come here every time I go to Bartlett read more

This is a really good restaurant. We do not eat lot of other foods from different countries but this place is over the top. we ordered and picked upend had so much food. Had the best meal. This is a great asset to Bartlett read more

Some of the best gyozas, hibachi and sushi around. Great price too. Complementary appetizer (snack like) if you dine in. Small place but awesome staff and food. Their house made yum yum sauce and ginger dressing are better than anything you can buy in store. I love the call ahead-to-go option as well so I can pick up my food without having to wait. read more

After my third visit to OEC Japanese, I had no option but to change my original rating from 5-star to 1-star. Two Reasons: 1) I placed an order to go over the phone. I ordered the hibachi shrimp and chicken and an order of hibachi shrimp and steak. The staff stated that my order will be ready for pickup within 15-20 minutes. I arrived in 20 minutes and paid for my bill, but my food was not ready. I waited another 25 minutes until my food was finally ready. Customers who came well after me that were dining in had already received their meals. 2) Both my wife and I got food poisoning immediately after finishing eating our meal. My wife had it the worst...she vomited a lot. It only takes one bad mistake for me to never visit a restaurant again. This is one of them. Visit at your own risk. read more

The sushi is high quality and well prepared. They also have delicious Hibachi. The chefs (sushi and hibachi) are both excellent, and your food will be prepared fresh and perfectly to your level of "doneness" for steak - flavorful and tender, not chewy. Try the "yum yum" sauce with the hibachi or yakisoba (noodles) or yakimesi (fried rice). You won't regret it. We love this place, nestled in Bartlett. The staff is friendly. I can't say enough nice things! read more

Honestly, the best sushi I've found. Their seating is a little sparse, but their flood is amazing, and their service is fantastic. As we were finishing our food, we were brought watermelon slices. They were on the house, because "it's too hot outside!". read more

Best chicken hibachi in town!!!! The yum yum sauce is the real star! They are always busy but they always have your order cooked in time and to perfection whether you are dining in or ordering Togo on your lunch break! read more

The BEST!!!!! Affordable and delicious. I've been going here for years. They have taken covid seriously and are following all rules and regulations read more

I love this place! Everything is sooo good! I love getting the fried rice with chicken and shrimp. The sushi is good as well! The price is just right too! You won't be disappointed. read more

The food is fantastic, the service is awesome. Prices are great. Love this place. I'll go back again and again

Excellent kani cheese, sushi is okay. Jessie is always nice. Got to do carry out though the religious music is overbearing.

This is probably my favorite Asian Restaurant in Bartlett. The Hibachi is always great. If you dine in they always bring fruit when you are finishing your meal. Always a thumbs up. read more

Great food and for an unbelievable price. $5 pizza next door does not stand a chance versus the Hibachi Chicken & fried rice!

OEC is one of Bartlett's best kept secrets. You wouldn't expect great food from a Japanese take out place, but they never disappoint. I always get take out and I get it a lot, and they always make it fresh. Their servings are huge and the prices are great. I have 4 people make full meals out of one of their hibachi steak and fried rice entrees. On that note, they have fantastic hibachi and crab wontons. I have not tried their sushi but I have heard good things. The people are very friendly and the place is well kept. It gets pretty busy around lunch time so make sure you call ahead. I've never eaten there so I can't comment on the service, but if it is in keeping with the rest of the restaurant I'm sure it is excellent. Granted, it is not where to go to get fine, authentic Japanese, but for what it aspires to do it does it very well. I highly recommend them. read more

Great place for Japanese Fare. Everything is fresh and made to order. Furthermore the portions are large and priced fair. Last but not least it is not a pile of grease. read more

I had the worst first experience ever!!! I order togo and waited for 30 minutes. I then walked up to the cashier and asked and she said they had a mistake and didnt make my order yet. I asked them return my money and left. Never come back again!!!! read more

Oec Japenese Express is close to where I take my daughter to karate, so I decided to try it out when I was craving sushi. I ordered the edamame, crunchy roll, and chicken fried rice. The crunchy roll was delicious, really hit the spot. The chicken fried rice I did not like at all, it was very bland and had a lot of onion, which I do not like. The place was clean, has a few tables to eat inside, but mostly a takeout place. I didn't like the long wait, but overall I would go back for some sushi. read more

I was really surprised by this place. It's a small restaurant (only 5 tables I think), but they do a lot of take-out. The staff is really nice and helpful. I like that their menu is relatively simple, and the food is excellent -- especially the fried rice. Portions are quite generous. It's also a huge plus that they give you (when dining in) a squeeze bottle full of the "Yum Yum" sauce. Yum Yum indeed. I wouldn't have thought this place would make it, but it looks like it will. They are getting a good amount of business and it's clearly due to quality of food, quality of service, and low prices. Highly recommended. read more

Built a la other Chinese take-out joints in strip malls, you wouldn't expect much but this place was packed by the time we left. It is small, but on the first showing, served up some pretty good sushi. A small appetizer of odd (even for me) sweetened peanut mixture started us off. Our food did take a bit of time to come out, but it was the lunch rush. My friends chicken teriyaki was actually a bit disappointing, but I'm not in for that at a sushi place . It's nice to have a Japanese run place (the name is built of the word Oh-Ee-She meaning tasty and commonly used as an expression of such at sushi bars in Japan). There is just a bit more attention to detail and the fish was surprisingly good quality. I kept it simple with a spicy tuna and yellowtail and scallion rolls. 8 pieces on the first made it a killer steal and while the soy sauce was just kikoman (highly prefer the higher quality Yamasa served at more expensive places) and the pickled ginger was a bit too pink, I was quite pleased. I would forgo the side salad unless you like the creamy style ginger dressings... Not a fan personally. *hint* Make sure you look at the paper menu because they have many more rolls than what is listed on the big boards. Definitely going to try again. read more

No taste, But clean place. The Gas station on poplar and ridgeway has much better sushi and its inside a Gas station. Also had the miso soup that was really bad. read more

I stopped in here one evening to get some sushi to take home. I was shocked at the pricing and was a little concerned how the quality was going to be based on the price. I was gladly surprised. It was very fresh and tastey. I will definitely be stopping here again when having a sushi craving read more

The place was clean looking and smelling. You can see in the kitchen and it was very clean also. The folks working were very nice and the food came out very quickly, was fresh and hot or cold as it should have been. The pork Gyoza was probably the best item but the O.E.C. Roll was good also. The salads were inexpensive but I would pass next time. Ginger dressing didn't have enough flavor for me and the cucumber salad had no flavor at all speak of.(looks completely different than the menu picture) It's really more a take out as the name suggests but there are 5 tables to eat at if wanted. ( the food did come on real plates but a plastic fork, just use chop sticks ) The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. $4 for pork Gyoza and $6.95 for the roll. I wouldn't tell anyone they had to eat here but I would come back when in the area. I would rate the place higher on cleanliness and service but with me it's mostly about the food and it was good but not great. read more

See all

This place is pure gold. The people are so friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are great. I always get the hibachi lunch and It is always fresh, not greasy, and the vegetables are still crispy. So good. The dining room is casual but comfortable. It is small, so if want lunch, you may have to wait. They do a lot of to go business as well. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is really really good. Super friendly service and great food. Just get the yakamesi (fried rice) with chicken steak and shrimp. Yes. All three. That plus the yum yum sauce is absolutely delicious! Plus if you eat at the restaurant they bring this peanut appetizer that's pretty good and fresh fruit for dessert. read more

Let me give a disclaimer here: this is not a review of their sushi. Having lived in Japan I am constantly trying to find restaurants that can fill the void left in me when I left Japan. You see, everyone thinks of sushi when they think of Japanese food. However, there is so much more to it and I feel for most of America that doesn't know the true joy of shabu shabu, yakiniku, tonkatsu, sukiyaki, authentic ramen, okonomiyaki, yakisoba, etc. That being said, I always try the other items on the menu before I go for sushi. I learned the hard way that this place must just be popular for sushi. I ordered the yakisoba and gyoza. The gyoza was good - but it is really difficult to screw up gyoza. The yakisoba was pathetic. Lacked the yakisoba flavor and flavor overall for that matter. I had to supplement with their mayonnaise-based sauce to keep my taste buds interested enough to even eat it. Definitely was not authentic. My overall opinion? Do not venture outside of the sushi. I will come back later, try the sushi, and post an updated review of the sushi. Perhaps that will garner a higher rating. read more

I went in there and was going to wait for a friend, but the tables were all dirty and service was nonexistent, so I left. I came back later and didn't have those issues. The sushi was OK. The real plus is that it was cheap and not that bad, so I'd say its a bargain. The service was so bad my first time there that I can't rate them any higher than two stars. read more

Love the food but they can never get an order out on time! They always say 20 mins which always translates to 60 mins. Also an etiquette lesson would go a long way for their customer service. read more

My first ever experience eating sushi. I loved my choices. I was hesitant to try any of Tue rolls that had raw fished, so I stuck to smoked salmon, shrimp and crab filled rolls. I love that for an additional price, they will deep fry any roll that you want. Ingredients seemed to be fresh. They have gained a new repeat customer read more

I usually order carry out from here. The hibachi meals (I get chicken or steak) include a good amount of food for the price and come with a salad. They have a great selection of fresh sushi and their fried rice is excellent. I've only eaten in once or twice. The salty/sweet peanuts they serve are awesome. I should ask if they can put them in my to-go next time... read more
