Sushi in Tulsa? You might be skeptical. But between the delicate slices of toro, the warm greetings from chefs behind the counter, and the quiet clink of sake cups, you’ll find a scene worth exploring. Whether you crave omakase artistry, a lively roll-focused spot, or a hidden gem where the fish speaks for itself, here are the places that prove Tulsa’s sushi game is seriously fresh.
Sake2Me Sushi
$$ | (918) 249-8080 | WEBSITE
Sake2Me Sushi, a standout sushi bar in Tulsa, is where you go to indulge and be indulged. Particularly during the all-you-can-eat special, when all the best rolls will be floating to your table. While you should come for the endless sushi parade, you should stay for fresh dragon rolls with rich, tender eel, mango tango rolls bursting with flavor, and hot sake that warms you right up. Although the AYCE runs all day, planning ahead is still wise.
There’s rarely an open spot for walk-ins during peak hours, so you’ll need a reservation unless you pop in early for a seat at the sushi bar.
Sushi Train
$ | (918) 747-9931 | WEBSITE
There’s only one spot in Tulsa to watch sushi glide by on a train while you dine, and it’s at Sushi Train. Tucked away in the city, this bustling sushi bar offers a parade of colorful plates. Think fresh Arizona rolls drizzled with eel sauce, or chicken yakitori skewers, spicy rolls that’ll set your mouth ablaze, and friendly chefs who know their stuff. Grab everything off the conveyor belt, including a mountain of options from the train.
Then, join the lively crowd enjoying the fun atmosphere and neat decor, all without feeling rushed, even near closing.
Sushi Hana
$$$ | (918) 712-9338 | WEBSITE
Dinner at Sushi Hana in Tulsa is somehow both traditional and elegant all at the same time. We recommend sitting at the polished sushi bar (to watch the chefs work). Start with a generous portion of the Thunder Up roll or a delicate plate of tuna sashimi, both featuring fresh fish that makes you want to applaud the kitchen. And, because the restaurant has such nice lighting and impeccable decor, ordering more sushi than is physically possible doesn’t feel like an unhinged choice.
Kirin Asian and Sushi Cuisine Tulsa
$ | (918) 893-8006 | WEBSITE
Kirin Asian and Sushi Cuisine is the sushi bar and Asian restaurant beloved by the neighborhood folks in Tulsa. We can’t tell if that’s due to how sophisticated yet relaxed every square inch of the dining room is, or how ridiculously good the Union Roll and Three Kingdoms Kung Pao taste. Probably both. If you want sushi, Kirin can set you straight, fill you up, and maybe even make you feel like you are being attentively cared for by Gabriel.
Try the Kirin Sampler appetizer with exceptional wonton and egg rolls, the sashimi salad with generous portions of tuna and flavorful dressing, and, of course, the beautiful and delicious Admiral’s Fleet. Load up on green tea, sake, or even a few specialty cocktails if that’s how you roll at dinner.
Yokozuna
$$ | (918) 508-7676 | WEBSITE
While the wait to get inside Yokozuna is inevitable during downtown events, the food on the other side of the line is worth it. Because at this popular sushi bar in Tulsa, the wasabi eggs are delicious, the flaming volcano sauce is flavorful, and the Thai street noodles are right next to the sashimi. Everything comes out with beautiful presentation from the kitchen, so you’ll spend most of your time carving into fresh sushi, spooning flavorful sauces, and coating rolls in wasabi.
The food here is so unique and tasty. Which is why you’ll see families out for dinner, couples on sushi dates, and solo diners having a noodles and sashimi moment.
Asahi Sushi Bar
$ | (918) 307-9151 | WEBSITE
As exceptional as the sushi rolls at Asahi Sushi Bar behind the old Toys R Us might be, the half-priced selections when ordering three or more are the real heavy-hitter. Stepping into this nostalgic and homey space means having all of the best dishes offered during regular service (think the standout Volcano roll with its perfect balance) while enjoying incredible value.
Get the top-notch miso soup with fresh seafood, the baked salmon with traditional rice cups, and the same creamy shrimp appetizer with engaging service.
in the raw vu
$$ | (918) 779-7600 | WEBSITE
Sometimes the best sushi is one that feels like you’re dining with a view. Enter In The Raw Vu. This Tulsa restaurant serves fresh and flavorful sushi in a dining room that feels like the perfect pre-game spot. You might even find yourself admiring the stunning sunset view in between bites of local unique sushi inventions or the Euphoria cake. Swing by with your crew, share some Prosecco on the house, and maximize your much needed celebration time.
Sian Sushi Restaurant
$ | (918) 551-7645 | WEBSITE
Unlike weekends when the spicy cowboy roll sells out quickly, Sian Sushi is walk-in friendly for weekday lunches. So you should arrive before the noon rush. Asian lunch here is more about variety than simplicity, with a menu full of crispy crab Rangoon, savory pad Thai with fresh shrimp, and spicy flat noodles with vegetables. The highlight, however, is a platter of vibrant Shishimi that looks like edible art and tastes like the ocean’s freshness.
Served with a side of soy sauce and wasabi, we want to dive right in and savor every delicate slice.
Bolicious
$ | (918) 957-1582 | WEBSITE
Sushi at Bolicious should be savored at least once by every serious sushi enthusiast. On weekdays, the Tulsa restaurant serves customizable bowls, but it’s the signature tonkatsu ramen on weekends that shouldn’t be overlooked. With proteins in just about any way you can imagine (like poultry, fish, and vegetarian options) and an entire counter dedicated to sauces (lined with spicy mayo, eel sauce, ponzu, and more), dining at Bolicious is fresh but also very flavorful.
Plus, how can you be disappointed while being greeted by fast, friendly service? There’s rarely a wait for takeout orders, so be sure to call ahead to guarantee your meal.
SushiFork
$ | (918) 445-6270 | WEBSITE
SushiFork is quite literally a fork in the sushi scene. The Tulsa institution is making waves among food enthusiasts, and it runs at full tilt, especially during Tuesday discount nights. Expect all the delicious sushi regulars: generous portions, gluten-free options, vegetarian choices, and a seemingly satisfying variety. Order what you want from the kiosk system in the clean dining space. Whether you go with a group of two or twenty—SushiFork can handle it.
