Jiro Sushi

Sushi tasted great and was pretty affordable! We especially liked the upbeat music. The owner even came to our table and personally asked us for our feedback.

This spot is well hidden and easy to miss but boy would that be a mistake! We (as in 3 of us) went in at around 630. Didn’t know they closed at 8, and were astonished how easy the menu was how much they offered! FYI it’s a bring your own booze spot. They have specials too! We ordered up a storm of a total of 5 dishes in between the three of us, and we were Hangry! They gave us complimentary egg rolls for the table!!! The sushi burrito with seafood was very good and flavorful, gyoza was perfectly done, edemame was soft and sweet with a hint of sprinkled salt (love), 2 sushi rolls: Volcano roll which was simple yet refreshing with spicy mayo and wasabi mayo! Insert smiley! Second roll: Ninja Roll– highly recommend it!!! Large portions and it was phenomenal! 5 stars! You have to try this spot!!!

Jiro Sushi is an ok place to grab some sushi if you’re in the area. The music they play inside is upbeat dance hits which I like. They have an array of rolls offered on their menu (as most sushi places do). I chose a rainbow roll and a seaweed salad. They don’t seem to be pricey. ($ 18 with tip) The food was decent. Just OK. I guess I am spoiled by Sushi Hyashi and Neko.

I’m no sushi pro, but I can tell you I really enjoyed the sushi burrito! It’s massive! Most of the time, I have to order 3 rolls just to get me full. I ordered it togo cause I was in a hurry. Staff is very friendly. Family owned. I like dining at family owned restaurants, they work harder to keep their customers to come back. I’ll definitely make the sushi burrito my regular order here now!

Food was good… I ate at an office desk some reason. Yeah. Every table is an office desk. Every chair is an office chair. Was this an office?

Since the restaurant obtained new management and ownership there has definitely been an upgrade in both quality of food and service. The waitstaff are friendly and efficient, and the food comes out fairly quickly despite it being busy as of late.
They have amazing ramen, it’s a great selection for a quick lunch. The restaurant also has a variety deals and specials for lunch as well.

Everyone here was very friendly and sincere. Being from the east coast I’m always skeptical about eating seafood in Oklahoma but the rolls tasted extremely fresh! Not to mention the price was on point and the inside was the opposite of boring.

As soon as I walked in I was excited because of the way this place looked. The gyoza was tasty and they got it out quickly. All the rolls tasted fresh and were very tasty! We will be back for sure!

Went for lunch to try a new place and we will not be returning. We each ordered ramen and were encouraged by the waitress to also order two rolls to get a free app or drink. The waitress was clearly new/​very inexperienced, forgetting what we ordered twice and bringing us only chopsticks (no soup spoons or napkins for the ramen), so we got up and raided the service cart ourselves to get the necessary utensils. The ramen wasn’t great, with the beef being very gristly and the broth so-​so. The sushi rolls were fishy tasting and not in the good sushi way, more of the «this fish is a little old» kind of way. The décor was weird, having desks (with keyboard pull out trays) and roller stools for chairs. For a $ 50 tab to boot, no way are we returning.

The food quality at jiro sushi is good. The fish and vegetables are fresh and well prepared. However, the rolls can’t seem to decide what they want to be. Rolls that reflect sushi staples, like philly and Cali, are fine. But the chef has gone too far in trying to be creative on the others. It’s too much going on at once in your mouth. Even compared to most Western food, which might have several herbs, vegetables and meat in a dish, these are still too busy. I would say that, for the best experience at Jiro sushi, stick with the rolls that are $ 8 or less. This is easy, because the menu is organized by price, from lowest to highest. The more expensive they get, the more stuff is getting piled on. I’m tempted to go in there and order the most expensive roll they have, just to see what kind of sh*tshow that thing is, but no. No, just stick to basics, guys. The food is fine, but they need to rethink their more expensive menu items.
…They also need to clean a little better. While it’s not gross, per se, there were visible handprints on the bottom of the glass on some of the tables, and the bathroom needed a good scrubbing. It’s probably not any more dirty than the majority of public restrooms, but they chose to decorate in black and silver, which makes every little drop of water and soap scum show up like a big neon sign. It’s just a bad business move. But they chose their fate when they had it painted that way, and when they chose clear glass tables, so I expect them to deal with the choice they’ve made. Not expect me to go into a place that clearly needs better effort to clean. I wouldn’t avoid Jiro if someone else wanted to go, or if it was just close and somewhere to hang out… but I wouldn’t specifically seek them out, either.
Bottom line: The place has potential, but it also has some issues. I think it’s worth visiting every once in a while to see where they go. They def. need to review their higher priced items, consider a better direction than «always spicy mayo, always deep fried», and get someone who has a better sense of flavor harmony to help build their more complex dishes. Because I promise you, the people who didn’t like their food, simply bought one of these overly-​busy rolls, and then, not being actual chefs, simply could not articulate why the food was unsatisfactory. It’s not quality, it’s poor flavor choices. You can’t just keep adding flavors and expect something to get better with each additional thing you slop on. It just becomes a big, busy mess.

Not my favorite sushi place. But I enjoy the appetizers!
Always get the eggrolls here. Me and my sister love Em.

I agree with others that the tempura and sauces are really good, however if you’re craving raw fish type sushi then just look elsewhere. I’m not a fan of the rolling chairs, but it seems to work okay for families.

I love the interior. It’s cool wall but not a big fan for the chairs and tables. It’s fair for the rolls. Miso soup was cold and too salty for my taste. I don’t love it and don’t hate it either. I’ll give them another chance.

Terrible sushi, don’t waste your time. Fish doesn’t taste fresh and everything is flooded with spicy mayo, eel sauce, and other lame sauces.

The location here is a bit hidden. We have driven past it often and never knew it was here until we did a random Unilocal pick. The décor is modern and interesting but very simple. Rolling chairs at mobile office type desk tables. The walls have a geometric kind of design that had me staring for awhile to figure out which parts were indented and which ones came out of the wall.
We ordered the sushi for two option A. It had four kinds of sushi. I don’t remember the names but they were good. I also has the seaweed salad which was presented in a lovely manner. My husband had the spicy ramon. He loves hot stuff and this fit the bill. I tasted it and it was too spicy for me. He just laughed and took another bite… grumble.
When you eat here they stamp the receipt and you get 10% discount next door where we are going next… so stay tuned.

Not bad for what it really is. Quick and cheap rolls. At the prices they charge, you know it’s not quality product, but hey, sometimes you just want some Micky D’s. Nawmean?
Speaking of McDonalds. I actually really enjoy the sushi fried chicken. This is the American in me speaking. It’s just rice wrapped around a nugget. I had this thought while I was in Austin before. Glad others are happy to butcher a traditional cuisine like I am. Ha.
If you’re a fan of spicy mayo and fried rolls, this place is for you.
The décor is questionable and the chairs aren’t comfy, so just take your food to go and eat your American sushi at home.

Jiro is not the absolute hands down best sushi you can find in OKC, but I find it to be tasty. I don’t mind eating sushi that isn’t just your basic raw seafood and rice, so Jiro is appealing to me. Actually I’m not much for raw seafood at all, so I love when a place provides more tempura offerings. The sushi fried chicken seemed an interesting concept to me, so I gave it a try. This was probably my least favorite only because there wasn’t much flavor to it. Not that it was bad, it just needs something more. The cowboy roll and volcano roll are a couple of my go-​to rolls. I also love that I can get the cowboy roll, miso soup, and a drink for the same price of a regular cowboy roll during their happy hour. The décor is definitely modern, and the only thing about it I find odd are the chairs with wheels, which can make it difficult to stay in one spot. The staff is super friendly, and I have never received anything less than superb service. It may not be the best sushi, but it is decent and a good price with excellent service. All that, coupled with the fact it is right next door to Teapioca Lounge (I’m there 1 – 2 times a week), guarantees my return.

The sushi here certainly isn’t traditional, but that’s fine with me. I enjoy sushi in all its traditional and bastardized forms.
The inside is trippy and I don’t like it too much. Maybe I’m not hip or cool or something, but that’s not why I went there, anyway!
One of the biggest pluses is that it’s next door to Teapioca. The sushi here ranges from cheap to a little less cheap, but none of the prices are outrageous. I found the two rolls I shared (Captain Crunch and Philadeplphia) were actually pretty tasty. They were put together well and very flavorful.
I’ll probably find myself here again sometime.

I’m always around the Asian District scopin’ out the new food joints. With a name like Jiro Sushi, I was intrigued to see if the sushi could live up to such a well-​respected name in Japan. (I speak as if I’m a sushi expert when in reality I have shelved the Jiro Dreams of Sushi documentary on multiple occasions at work, and watched the film — hehe.) What I’ve concluded: If you’re looking for a place to grab a bite of sushi with genuinely kind and quick service, this is the place to go. If you’re looking for sushi that will make you feel like you’ve won the sushi lottery, more of restaurant type feel (such as Sushi Neko or Hayashi, based on location, would be more ideal) would be the place to go.
The sushi I purchased was doused in spicy mayo and had lots of, for lack of a better word, interesting tasting crabmeat on top.. .not necessarily a bad thing, just a flavor I’ve never tried before. My friend’s sushi was also doused in sauce, but spicy mayo and a wasabi sauce — def not my style. If it isn’t yours either or you’re unsure of it, be sure to ask for the wasabi sauce on the side! Here’s the part that I frowned upon: our sushi was falling apart as we were eating. I admit, they aren’t marketing as if they are Sushi Neko, Tokyo or Mushashi’s, but sushi should never be falling apart. On a better note, my friend ordered a terayaki chicken and rice combo for around $ 6. It was a REALLY good deal for the amount of food he received, and looked tasty. Also, they have a decent & cheap $ 3 fried chicken sushi.
The décor is very modern & industrial looking. Seems like a new trend going around in the metro area. Not sure if it was their intention, but it was pretty cool to feel like you’re in a metallic sushi spaceship of some sort. :)
The lady who took our order at the front was very sweet, helpful, and genuine. The hospitality of everyone was welcoming. Supbar sushi, some good/​cheap/​big portions, good service. ³⁄₅ overall. Next time I’m looking for a quick sushi run, I’ll definitely swing by again to give the menu another go.

Oh boy. I think they are trying to mimic Go Go Sushi with their ultra modern interior. The floor and walls are super cool, but the tables are all computer desks and the chairs had rolly wheels on them. Made it difficult to sit still. Also, they have only one cart with condiments on it. If it were a busy day, I would think that sharing one bottle between the whole dining room would be a little difficult.
I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but everything was just wrong in my eyes. I’m the queen of 3 star reviews (don’t you know?) and I just couldn’t go beyond the 2 mark here. I even took the weekend to really think it over and this is it. There is no going back now. These things really need to be said.
Strike #1– While completing our order at the register, an employee busts open a bag of frozen tempura from their freezer and dipped the little shrimpys into the fryer. Granted, many places serve frozen fried food, but come on now! Can you be a little more discreet about it?
Strike #2– Our tempura appetizer and eggrolls came with the same sweet and sour type sauce. Where did the tempura dipping sauce go? *shrugs* They don’t believe in that stuff I guess.
Strike #3– Most of their sushi rolls are either covered with sauce (i.e. spicy mayo, hot sauce, eel sauce), come fried or have cream cheese in them. They said they can customize the roll I want. Coolbeans! So, I ordered the Tiger Wong Roll minus all of the sauce and deep friedness. There must have been something lost in the translation because my order came out the exact opposite. I didn’t want to complain, so I began to wipe the sauce off and began eating it with dismay. The girl at the counter came by, apologized and asked if I wanted a new roll. I said no. She came out with the one I ordered anyway minus the smoked salmon on top. Thanks.
Strike #4– Ramen for $ 4.99? Wow! In hind sight, we should have known better. You know those Korean instant ramen bowls by Nong Shim? You can buy them at the super market for $ 1.50. Well, that is what they served us. How could I tell??? The spice packets usually come with little dried pieces of carrots and other seasonings. You could see the mini carrots in the broth. It tastes exactly like the stuff my mom buys. Fail.
Don’t let my review scare you. They cater to a certain clientelle and that just wasn’t me or my man zone. Everything tasted fine, but what it boiled down to was the fact that I could have made everything at home for less than what I paid for. With Samurai down the street, I’d rather make the trip there or pay more and head to Sai or Volcano.
I’m really disappointed and I probably won’t be back.
