FUJI....been going there for over 25 years. Never had an issue.
Nobo brought it here first.
I forgot the name of the restaurant but it is in the strip center behind the Toys R Us at 71st and Memorial. The restaurant is between the military recruiting offices, Next to a Coney Islander. It's GOOD.

That would be Ashi (I think that's how it's spelled). Outstanding sushi at half the price of Fuji!
I don't eat raw fish. Even my dog won't eat raw fish, and I have seen him eat dog poop.
i'm partial to tsunami... mmmmm, frank black....
Memories of Japan in Broken Arrow. Asahi is ok, but they lack the variety MOJ provides.

Where is that? I'd like to try it!
Seriously. Sushi Train's actual sushi wasn't the most sterling, but to get to select your roll from a moving flatbed train car really is something not to be missed.

Sushi Train all the way!
I am a wuss, I prefer rolls to sashimi (that's the slab of raw fish, right? Its a texture issue). I understand to purists this is a waste of good fish, but I'm from Iowa. Sorry.
HOWEVER, the Sushi at "The Train" is really good. Should you desire sashimi you can order it as with anywhere else (or rolls, the train is not mandatory). My friends that are connoisseur gave it a passing grade. There is less wait and cheaper prices. And of course, a train.
However, there is also less atmosphere - for better or worse. We can bring our boy there and enjoy sushi without worrying about destroying the pomp of a higher-cost establishment. BUT... those other Sushi restaurants are kinda neat.
In short: I've been to them all around here. For the average Oklahoma sushi eater you will not miss anything in quality at Sushi Train.
Oh, and if you ever want Blackened Salmon, go to Tsunami.
Memories of Japan by all means. In the Raw is a bar with food service.
Asahi Japanese Restaurant at 71st & Memorial mmmmmmm
I like cheap sushi!
In The Raw is actually pretty good, but you are fore-warned that they play annoying techno music louder and louder as the evening wears on at 61st & Sheridan. Till you finally can't hear yourself.
Is the Fuji's on Brookside still there? That was not a bad experience.
I have had incredibly inattentive service at Tsunami's downtown the last couple of times I went- the last time we sat at the Sushi bar- go figure. Friends have been complaining as well.
Sushi Train is pallateable, it's more of a "hoot" factor to take one of my food snob friends there.
So, since I've written off ITR on 61st and Tsuanmi's I need to start looking elsewhere.

Ditto
I'm glad I asked! Thanks for the suggestions.
Tsunami! (2nd and Detroit downtown)
Had ITR on Brookside last night. Sushi is like crack to me. When I eat it, I get obsessed with it for a few days. Looks like I'm going to Tsunami w/ friends tomorrow night before a show. Someone tell me the service is getting better, please!
I don't suppose they use brown rice, do they?
We had Sushi in Dallas over Thanksgiving and they made it with brown rice. Was pretty good.

trust you? it is your opinion based on your experience... mine is/has been exactly the opposite... i went two weeks ago and the service was excellent... so what? it is still just my opinion...
itr? fekkin posuer central... the sushi is good but its hard to choke down through the gurgling pool of bile that my esophageal sphincter spews forth every time i scan the crowd... on our last trip there- a friday at 6, we were told "we have no idea" in regards to how long the table wait was and not offered to put our name on the list... the hostess then gestured to a bar full of tribal-tattooed insurance salesman and abersons mark-down, housewives of OC wannabes...
I liked the sushi just fine at In the Raw, but was turned off by the hipster scene on a recent Friday evening. I'm just not cool enough to enjoy people who spend so much energy trying to be seen and pretending to be cool....
Love the atmosphere at Tsunami...and think it has the best sushi, as well as other unique menu items. I agree that there are times when the service has been a bit slow. But I'm usually with people I enjoy, and they pour generous drinks, so it doesn't bother me. Also, you can't beat the sushi happy hour (M-Th) when selected rolls are half-price. It's a great time to experiment and discover new favorites!
I think that overall, they are getting faster. I've seen some new faces behind the sushi bar recently, and I think the added staff helps.
Slow again, but worth the wait. Ten minutes between drink orders and the food is unacceptable when the place is not crowded. Fortunately, I planned ahead on leaving enough time for the show.
I really didn't pay any attention to anyone in ITR Tuesday night outside my dining companions with the exception of a couple I caught eyeballing me when I was getting ready to eat some sea urchin. I don't care if I eat around posers, beats the hell out of slobs.

You're kidding! Didn't know that. We went there once (business dinner) and the food was awesome, though they were a bit slow. Still liked the atmosphere though. Half price? I'm going soon.
I'm not a fan of raw fish but maybe the service and food at that restaurant can help me change my mind. How about the price?
And do aw foods are the secret of Asians why they have clear skin? he he he..
