13 Best Japanese Restaurants near Norman

“The hibachi is out of this world crazy awesome.“

“The staff are over the top and our food was absolutely Devine. I have no complaints, in fact the wait staff helped with my screaming son and made our visit as comfortable as possible.

Kid-friendliness: They got a sucker for my screaming son and we're very kind to him in general. He's only 2 and they treated him with the same respect as they would me.“

“Tried out this new Norman restaurant recently and the food was amazing. The place is so clean and employees were very friendly. Mostly a carry out but there are a couple tables. It is very good.“

“Delicious food and friendly staff! My son got the po tok seafood soup extra spicy and I got chicken pad thai. Pad thai was a bit sweet, but good! The soup they bring out before the meal was very good! Very garlicy!
Overall, I liked this place! Parking in front is a bit narrow, if you have a bigger vehicle then you might want to park in the back.

Addendum: Took a star away. Asked for level 1 spice for chicken massaman curry to take home for my husband and he couldn't eat it because it was really spicy. He can tolerate up to lvl 2 spicy at most places. I even explained it to the waiter zero up to one spice level if they can't do zero. Guess I can't come here if I need to get food for hubby.“

“Great sushi and service. The entry way is a little tight and annoying sometimes but I still love this place.

Kid-friendliness: They have booths for families and booster seats.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not great.“

“I am absolutely in love with this place and am very addicted to their sushi rolls (in particular the veggie roll). They are very fast to make your order if you call ahead and the prices are so great as well! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a local place to eat !“

“I’ve always head a great experience here! I’ve been going here for the past 10 years or so and never had a problem. Not sure where these other reviews are about, talking about sticky floors and the airflow. The food is always great & servers.“

“Very cool place. Just pick your protein and you get rice, a salad and 2 dumplings and ur good to go. I got chicken thigh and it was such a tasty grilled flavor! Also decided to try one of their Japanese sodas in the crazy glass bottle. It was fun!“

“I regularly crave Krave. Their spicy chicken bites, the garlic bites, chicken teriyaki, ginger dressing salad and their polished white rice are superb— and I’ve never been disappointed by anything else on their menu. 5 star food and 5 star customer service— I once had a full box of leftovers I accidentally left, and they called me within minutes of leaving to ask if I wanted it. Another time I ordered from their extremely helpful kiosk because the front counter was busy, and didn’t realize I needed to order a rice with my meal. When my food came and there was no rice, I asked about it. She said I should have ordered it, but no sweat! She whipped up the biggest bowl of rice for me right there for free. I adore the people who work here and all of their food is genuinely delicious. They have a lot of unique hard to find items on their menu as well, like beef short ribs and tteokbokki (spicy, chewy rice cakes like mochi). Atmosphere is always calm and clean. Highly recommend this place as a jewel of Southwest OKC.“

“Amazing food and impeccable service! Fun atmosphere! And super easy online ordering. It was ready within minutes!!! Highly recommend!!!!“

“I love this place . We visit this restaurant at least 3 times a month. Excellent food always fresh and high quality. Great service Nice decor“

“This place does everything right. The sushi are creative and delicious, the people are very nice (we’ve been here twice and they all remembered us) and very competent and the interior decorating makes for a nice atmosphere. Great date night spot and never so busy that you’re stuck waiting all day. I really don’t understand the negative reviews. I lived in Japan for a year and currently live in KC, where there are a ton of sushi options, and this is as good as it gets, especially in the Midwest.“

“We came here with our kids. Our two year old was coloring on the paper we order off of. That’s paper they throw away. The people next to us Moved away. My mother in law asked if we should leave and the waitress said yes we are not that kind of place. Not sure what she meant by this. I don’t know if it is because we had kids or what I’ll be the first to admit when my children are not acting correctly but let me tell you they were on their best behavior. I have never been treated like this or kicked out of a restaurant before in my life I do not recommend going here they are not nice at all and I have never been treated this way stay away“
