Memories Of Japan

Sushi restaurant’s are generally a little pricey. With that said, I would gladly spend my money in this place. The food is very good and they also have a deep fried sushi called the Dynamite Roll that is very tasty for people who don’t like raw fish and the sushi rolls seem to be always fresh.

Their soup and salad were delicious. The sushi left a bit to be desired both visually and taste-​wise, although it was good as well. The atmosphere was okay. the service was pretty good. My only real complaint is that we felt rushed while we were there, even though they weren’t very busy. They immediately brought out the check as soon as we stopped eating. Worth a visit, though

The selection of sushi was minimal at best. 80% of their rolls have salmon as the main fish and the others are filled with fried selections that make real sushi look bad. I assume they are trying to cater to the American pallet since all we eat is fried foods. Having been a sushi chef myself, I can say that the amount of rice used in these rolls are spot on and they are rolled well. Being such a small establishment, I understand that they aren’t selling enough sushi to have a wide variety of fish which is why you should steer clear.

Fresh, creative menu, and great prices. Try it, you will not be disappointed.
So, my review needs to be longer. Let’s see, we come here often. Can’t remember ever having a bad experience. It’s usually quiet, and relaxing. Nice place to escape for lunch if you’re having a stressful day.

Favorite spot for salmon! Sashimi is really good here– fresh taste. The happy and rainbow rolls are the best. Not very impressed with the smoked salmon here, but everything else has been great so far!

Awesome sushi! Tons of fish with a little rice in the sushi! I hate when a roll is 50% + of just rice. Makes me angry!
Salad dressing is some of the best! Homemade! Prices are reasonable! Rainbow roll is $ 10 bucks! This place is a treat! My go to!

I have eaten here a handful of times over the years and have always had a good experience. It’s an unassuming little place, but that’s kind of part of the appeal, especially to my fiancé, who has a large appetite and feels uncomfortable at some trendy restaurants (and hates their small, expensive portions).
The food is solid and delicious and not fancy (notice I didn’t use «but” – it’s not necessarily a bad thing). The rolls are usually a few dollars cheaper than places like Yokozuna and I have never been concerned about the freshness of the fish. You will be able to find something you like on the menu, although I wouldn’t bother with the spicy tuna or salmon roll, which is just a regular roll with spicy mayo added.
They also have many other non-​sushi Japanese items that are also very good (e.g., goyza, tempura, udon, yakisoba). The décor is campy and weirdly relaxing – maybe it’s the pink walls? The service is always very polite.
In short, it’s not at the culinary apex of Japanese food, but it is delicious and simple and you will leave full and not $ 30 lighter like you would at many sushi places.

This is my favorite place to get sushi. The Dynamite Roll is my absolute favorite! Great service and great prices. I also feel cozy in their booths. I’ve gone here for years and will continue to get yummy sushi here.

I ordered and had to wait a reasonable time for my ordered handed, good experience and good location and decorated place for my good sushi sucking is wonderful. Price was not whimsical here. Of course would try here.

Definitely a classic. By classic I mean sushi that’s made by 1^st generation Asian people. I never have to worry about this sushi being too heavy. They do of course have American sushi, but even then, I feel like it’s a compromise. I give it 4 stars, only because I feel like the quality could be a little better. But for the cost of what you’re paying, you’re getting a good deal.

One of the highlights is that it’s open until 9:30 most nights when the rest of non-​fastfood Broken Arrow shuts down at around 8 it seems.
The service was so-​so. Neither here nor there. Our waters stayed full, so that’s fair.
The food was unremarkable.
Gyoza (³⁄₅): It was cooked well and came with a tasty sauce. But the insides were a bit bland.
Miso soup (²⁄₅): It’s hard to pin what this tasted like exactly. Not fresh and the tofu and seaweed were a bit mushy.
Pickled radish roll (³⁄₅): The pickled radish inside was fine enough. But the seaweed was stiff and not wrapped around securely, and the rice easily fell apart.
Big roll (²⁄₅): It had the same integrity problem as the above roll and the ingredients didn’t taste very fresh at all. The krab tasted like the kind you get in the snack packs at the store. The mushrooms and egg were alright.

Great sushi. I love the spicy dragon roll and fried calamari with the teriyaki sauce. It has a good variety on the menu.

This is a place where you just go in to enjoy the sushi. Compared to other Japanese restaurant, this place is a lot smaller, which in a way it does give you the authentic Japanese restaurant feel.
The food is very good, the wait staff very efficient (they could smile a little more though), the place is very clean. The sushi chefs are very experienced, a must for this type of food.
I would definitely recommend this place if you are just craving for good sushi without distractions.

From 2004 – 2009, Memories was a place that I frequented. I went for the sushi and learned a lot about Japanese food from this delicious store, eating here once or twice a week. It was like being in a relationship with the first person you ever dated… and then one day I tried a few other places and realized… I have options.
In the past five years, I’ve probably gone to Memories about once a year. It isn’t bad. But as I sit to write this review, I’m at a lost of positive things to say. The service has gone downhill, the rice sushi is wrapped in is often dry, other main dishes such as Chicken Teryaki have often been met with little more than a «meh».
I’ll probably go back here before the year is out. It’s not the worst option and they have a menu with excellent options that just might leave you a tad bit disappointed.

Sadly I wasn’t too impressed with this place. I was hoping to find a go to sushi place here in Tulsa/​BA but this isn’t it.
We started off with an appetizer of gyoza, which was pretty good. No complaints there. Then the sushi arrived. I ordered a Dragon Roll and a Spicy Tuna Roll. The Spicy Tuna Roll was okay. All other Spicy Tuna Rolls I’ve had have spicy tuna and cucumber, and sometimes avocado. This one was just tuna and it tasted okay. It was bit boring, but not as bad as the Dragon Roll. This roll had an odd taste that I can’t even describe. It almost tasted like freezer burn or fridge. The brown sauce that was drizzled on top and the avocado both had this strange flavour so the roll was inedible.
I was very disappointed because I had been really craving sushi and it was a complete waste of money. I left hungry.

This is one of my favorite sushi places. Their sushi pizza is amazing. It’s a fried rice patty topped with fresh diced salmon, masago, chopped onions, and spicy sauce. I could eat there every day!

This is a bit off the beaten path for all you mid-​towners, since its south of the wall (I-​44) and in the scary town of Broken Arrow, but it is well worth the drive.
This place is a small little restaurant hidden in small strip mall next to rather imposing Wal-​Mart.
They offer the standard Japanese fair, including sushi. I wasn’t in too much of a sushi mood when I went, but I would definitely go back to try some of their signature rolls, which offer more than just another «unique» take on a California Roll.
I opted for the chicken teriyaki bento box and was fully satisfied. Plenty of food at a more than reasonable price of $ 13.00. The meal came with miso soup, salad, 5 big pieces of tempura, gyoza (pot stickers), a california roll as well as chicken and rice. Everything tasted great. Service was fantastic.
Noting that I am a Tulsa «Southie» and my drive may be a bit short than most, I’d recommend everyone else make the trip and try this place out. So far the best Japanese restaurant I’ve been to in Tulsa. Will be going back.

This place is kinda hidden and located in a shopping center but definitely a good place to get sushi when you are at lunch during work and want something quick and healthy. I first went here when i first moved to Tulsa and was with a bunch of people from work. Everyone always mentioned it at work so I figured why not give it a try. They have a great lunch menu and if you want sushi but also don’t want to pay a lot for it, always go during lunch. This place always has sushi chefs on hand so when they are busy you are not waiting longer than you should have. I ordered several of the raw rolls that contained salmon and tuna. I am not a fan of sushi that has cream cheese or has been deep fried and than covered in sauce. I mean why bother getting sushi if you’re going to do that.
The quality of the fresh fish was great and they gave me a generous helping of ginger as well. The people I went with do like the cooked rolls covered in sauce so they let me try some. Even though I am not a fan of cooked rolls I thought it was pretty delicious. When you go for lunch they have an option that allows you to choose two or three rolls and it comes with miso soup and the ginger salad you get everywhere else as well. All of that for a fair price and quick service. I have never been here other than for lunch but it would be a good place to grab food and not feel like it is too loud to have a conversation.
The restaurant in general was clean and also kinda small in a good and intimate kind of way. If I get the chance I would love to try dinner here. Definitely a good place for sushi!

Great food, and great service.
I went here a few days ago while on a trip, everything turned out great except for the sweet potato tempura, which was slightly undercooked, kinda like biting into an undercooked potato, it had that texture. It’s okay though, I am not gonna flip out over that.
The main dishes were great though, and so was the service, It was the waiter’s first day on the job so he didn’t know the in’s and out’s just yet, but his charisma and friendliness made up for it and overall made it more enjoyable.
Owners, if you are reading this, give the kid a break! — you know, the tan skinned asian guy — He did great. I wanted to thank him personally before I left, but he wasn’t around when we did.

If you’re in BA and are looking for Japanese food this is your place. I’ve never had anything bad here. I’m sure by making that statement that there is something bad here but I’ve never had the pleasure of experiencing it.
Good Price for the food and we always leave full. Standard salad and miso that you get everywhere else, tempura is about what you expect. The boxes they have add a little something extra and are very filling.
I like to play the what is misspelled on the menu game with my wife that is a fun way to pass the time waiting on your food.
