“ We had 3 rolls and a sake don. They tastes pretty good. The service is good. The prices are considered high. The only complaint I have is that you have to find street parking. ”
“ I took my friend here for her birthday and it was fantastic. Neither of us had been here before but the reviews looked great so we gave it a shot and I'm glad we did. I got the chicken bibimbap, my friend got the Philly roll and the spider roll, my other friend got the veggie roll, and our fourth person got the chicken teriyaki plate. The miso soup was smooth and didn't have an overwhelming flavor. The bibimbap was very flavorful and well-cooked. The rolls were all well-made and tasted great, and the chicken teriyaki had just the right amount of flavor. There's a parking lot next door that's paid as well as street parking. The restaurant is clean and our server was nice. The food came out quickly and was super hot. We will be back! ”
“ Late night takeout within the last hour before closing...sometimes this is not the best time to get takeout because the quality tends to suffer but not here. My bento box with chicken katsu was stellar! Quite possibly the best katsu I've ever had as a matter of fact! Perfectly cooked chicken, great pieces that were still moist and not over fried. Great tempura also. It all exceeded expectations. Will return when in town again! ”
“ Tried Makoto for the first time tonight! Cute restaurant with lots of seating. Great menu. Lots of roll options and other unique items. Prices were pretty standard for sushi. Definitely some expensive rolls but also some cheaper ones. Employees were really friendly. Enjoyed the food but not going to be my top sushi spot. ”
“ Best sushi spot ever. Great chill atmosphere, presentation and quick service. Everything tasted super fresh and delicious. We got the California roll and the double double roll, also got the chicken katsu skewer appetizer (not pictured) and it was divine! Amazing strawberry mochi ice cream to finish. Loves it. ”
“ Overall very solid food option for a local sushi place. We ordered the terriyaki chicken bento box which came w a lot of different foods. only downside of the meal was the miso soup which had two pieces of tofu for two people ”
“ We got this food delivered tonight, and it was SO good! It will definitely be added to my regular rotation. We split an order of gyoza, asparagus maki roll, crispy rice with salmon, tempura vegetables, and salad rolls. (All this enough for two people to be comfortably full.) Everything was really good. The greens in the spring rolls were clearly super fresh. The menu has a lot of choices and based on my experience so far, you can't go wrong with any of them! ”
“ Found this great sushi spot while visiting OU during family weekend. They have have an assortment of Japanese food (Ramen, Udon, Yakisoba, etc...and of course Sushi) and some Korean food (Bibimbap, Sundubu jigae-spicy tofu soup). They have many sushi rolls, so you can't go wrong with what you order. Restaurant was very spacious, service was great and attentive. They have a large bar with TVs. Portions are large enough to share so bring your appetite! Happy Nom Nom! ”
“ Tasteful decor with nice lighting and gorgeous, live edge wood tables, excellent service, tasty food with nice presentation, and an extensive selection of drinks, including non-alcoholic options like lychee cremoso, iced and hot teas, beers, sakes, and more. Perfect for both dates and large groups. We really enjoyed almost everything we ordered: agedashi tofu, crispy rice with salmon (even a seafood hater loved this so much they had seconds), chicken karaage, lion king roll, shiro roll, spicy chicken fried rice (another favorite of our group), veggie yakisoba (tasty sauce, fresh veggies, and al dente noodles), beef rib-eye teriyaki. We also liked the chicken wings (tender and flavorful, although we prefer dry wings to saucy, and they were too spicy for the teens in our group), crazy monkey roll, beef yakiudon, and tonkotsu with cheese. The only item we didn't like was the mochi ice cream. The mochi part was a little crumbly instead of being smooth and slightly chewy. Shout out to Oliver for providing good recommendations, and being friendly and extremely patient with our chaotic group of 9. ”
