First visit. Liked the cozy "pub" feel of the place. We tried the pork dumplings. Delicious! The miso soup was rich with ingredients. My salmon and shrimp was perfectly cooked, except the asparagus was underdone and tough. Wife had the chicken katsu, which she complimented. However the white rice seemed like it had sat in the bowl, pre heated and stuck together. We shared the bread pudding dessert, enough for two. However the vanilla ice cream added was full of ice crystals from the freezer. The service was impeccable and the value was as expected. The menu is very extensive and we'll probably come back to try more offerings. There are some varied and tempting samplers.

Ordered yakitori sampler when we ordered our drinks and then 4 rolls when we received our drinks. Drinks came out really quick, 36 minutes into our stay we received 3 of the 4 rolls . I asked about the sampler and was told it takes a little longer to grill things. The sampler finally arrived we asked if our 4th roll was coming, the one that was suggested. We never received the 2nd round of drinks that we requested. This was our first and last visit.

Everything we had was delicious! Chef Richard picked some items for us and he did not disappoint. Can’t recommend one thing because all sushi, nigiri and rolls are outstanding. Has to be the freshest fish in landlocked OKC!

It was more than 5 minutes before I was greeted to be seated. We had to ask random staff to assist with needed items. Sushi was okay. Atmosphere was cute. Would I go back? Probably. Wouldn’t be my first choice for sushi.

The martinis were absolutely amazing, and they were reasonably priced for the quality. We had a larger party, but it was a bit past our reservation time before they sat us. This caused delay in our plans. The food was not the best Japanese food I have had, but still decent. The worker who sang me happy birthday had a phenomenal voice. Our server took care of us too.
