Who has the best Sushi and best price?
Don't know. I quit eating fish after Fuckishima.
But the best gash hangs at ITR. I think they get the best quality fish but that's not saying much to someone who has watched the decline in quality over the past 30 years.
I remember when sushi was like health food is today.....rare.

Snake, which rock you been under?
Classy on the internet? Please define.....
I know of a bait shop...
Seriously, as far as consistently good (for Tulsa or OKC)? ITR.
My daughters say Yokozuna is the bomb. Personally, I don't frequent ITR because I absolutely hate the acoustics in their restaurants. They use all hard surfaces and there is zero attempt at noise attenuation. I don't like eating places where I can't hear what the other people at the table are saying and don't like being hoarse from having to talk over music and other people. As ITR gets more crowded, they turn up the techno beat. I guess that makes it a "happening" place for young hipsters but just annoys the smile out of me.
I can't wait until the bare, industrial trend in restaurant interior design comes to an end. I hate noise splash as much as I hate cigarette smoke.
Ive tried quite a bit, Flying Fish at 110th and Memorial really has shown me the best quality, size and portions....
To be honest, I've actually been impressed by the Sushi in Reasor's. For premade, packaged stuff, it's pretty good. Granted, it's not restaurant sushi, but I enjoy it.
If you want a real treat for not much more, the Reasor's at 18th & Yale always has ahi tuna steaks for $9.99 a pound. Great raw or lightly seared on the grill. I'm sure it's not quite the grade Bodean's sells, but I can't taste enough difference between the two for $10+ a pound difference. Another great way to prepare it is marinate it in some lime juice and agave nectar for about five minutes and make tuna ceviche.
I've heard Sushi Hanna is good. It's recently opened on S Riverside Dr. Haven't been there to confirm.
I'm a big fan of Yokozuna, but mainly for the pork belly ramen and the fish tacos.
Flying Fish does a great job.
My dog won't eat raw fish. My dog eats almost everything. I have seen him eat things that came out of other dogs.
If my dog won't eat sushi, I tend to go with him on this subject.

So you eat things that come out of other dogs?
I hope not.
+1 on the pork belly ramen. For me it is the ultimate comfort food.

It's kind of sickening that they've taken something that I used to eat by the box full in college, added better seasoning and a fat pork belly and charge me more than a case of ramen cost and yet it's my favorite thing on their menu.
my wife and i like yokozuna. if we aren't wanting to spend as much money, we go to sushi train. the sushi place (downtown) and asahi (71st/memorial) are good and reasonably priced, as well.
Yokozonnnnnnno - 3.0 out of 5.0
Ashahi - 3.5 out of 5.0
Sushi Train 2.0 out of 5.0 for quality
Fuji - 3.5 out of 5.0
Memories of Japan (BA) 4.0 out of 5.0
Flying Fish - 4.5 out of 5.0

Ironically, that's the only sushi place in town I've ever gotten sushi I didn't like. At least the service is better than what I've gotten at Fuji. Four times I've been there (don't ask), and four times the service has been awful. It's been a while since I've been to Tei Kei's, but they've usually been pretty good to me. Sushi Train is a better value, though. ;)
For value and quality, Sushi place downtown. I'm glad that there is an not upscale sushi rest. Check out their facebook page as they have really good day of the week specials.
Tei keis is pretty good or it was a year ago. Will have to try the place downtown.

I like "the sushi place" downtown. Priced better than Yokizuno, quick and friendly service and it has an urban feel to it. The sashimi cuts are a nice size too.

What I mean to say is that only rubes think that sushi is something new and special and has to be upscale. It's just food. I'm glad to see a place that doesn't feel like it needs to play house music and have trendy lighting (or pretend like it is in Japan) to serve sushi. That and it's cheap (relatively) and the people who run the place are nice.

Bill and Ruth's at 31st and Yale is the best sushi value in town - however, the hours are not reliable in the evening. Sushi train is not great, but good and they deliver for a reasonable price. Been a while since I've been to ITR, but it was always good. Yokozuna is the goods - some very different rolls that are tasty. I don't BA often, but when I do, I have Memories of Japan. I hear good things about The Sushi Place, may try it this weekend.

Okay, curiosity is piqued. Must try. What do you recommend off the menu?
Oh, and for what it's worth, for really great eating at home, FMC and I will split a raw tuna steak on a bed of rice lightly drizzled with a sauce she makes with sesame oil, soy sauce, lime, and agave nectar.

They have most standard issue rolls and some revolving house rolls - no big surprises. I rarely get Sashimi anywhere. Menu has descriptions. There is a little sushi station inside with like 4 stools to watch as it is prepared. Really nice family that runs the place. I like rolls with the spicy crab and eel sauce. If you get at least 3, there is a lower per role rate. Do get the Dragon Balls appetizer(fried rice balls with spicy crab on top).
