In the Raw Sushi

The chef’s choice nigiri had some unique & tasty fish options. Would’ve preferred pieces to be divided into 2 smaller pieces…1 big piece was hard to eat. The spicy tuna roll lacked in every way. Entirely too much rice compared to the small piece of tuna & avocado on the inside. There was so little tuna, you couldn’t even tell what it was. The salmon sashimi was good, but too warm. Unique atmosphere.

Worst customer service ever! I’ve had two bad experiences there and I should of known after the first one not to go back again. They messed up my to go order and because they close after lunch they didn’t offer to fix it I also bit in to a rock on one of my rolls and all they did was comp half of my itr salad

After moving from California to Oklahoma, my husband and I have been trying to find a quality sushi restaurant out here.
We were suggested to try ‘In the Raw’ and well… we were very disappointed. They over rice you and they over charge you. If I’m paying for fish the prices are no problem but when I’m paying for rice that is some expensive rice.

Love this place! This is one of the only two sushi restaurants I will go to in Tulsa. Food is awesome. Atmosphere is good too and it’s a good location too.

I’ve had some great experiences here and some so-​so experiences. However, the food is always good, it’s the waitstaff that brings this review down.
This is my go to for sushi. My favorites are a half ITR salad, volcano roll, and Keaton roll. Not the healthiest, but man they are good.
I would recommend this place for a night out with girlfriends or a great date night spot. At dinner the lighting is dim. Also, if you want the delicious chocolate cake that takes 20 minutes to cook as for it MONKEY STYLE, it makes it a ton better!

I have had sushi all over the country and all over Tulsa as well. Tulsa has some excellent sushi but I don’t think this place is at the top when it comes to the best. I have been her at least half a dozen times for work lunches. The service is good, but the noise in very bad, and if it’s not loud conversation it’s the loud music. This place could benefit by having something to combat the noise a little.
I ordered maguro sashimi here as for me that is a good way to get a feel for the quality. It came to me in a bowl, minced and had sauce on it of some kind. It tasted ok, but what the heck? Adding flare and drizzling sauces might make dishes look better sometimes but it was just executed poorly. We had a mix of rolls and I ordered some other nigiri as well. The nigiri was fresh and I had no complaints there. Decent sized cuts too, so that is a plus. I never turn it down when a vendor is taking us here or suggests it for lunch. If I am choosing though I go for something a little less loud and artsy, and a little more like a sushi bar.

For Tulsa (by that I mean land-​lock state), the sushi was pretty good. Pretty standard selection but good quality and I liked the cozy but decorative restaurant. They don’t have jasmine tea which was a bit of a bummer but we enjoyed the sushi.

After my first visit, I’m a fan. I was not expecting to find good sushi in Oklahoma.
— Good quality (only missing a pepper tuna or super tuna option)
— Excellent service
— Great atmosphere

They now serve brunch! I got their Maryland Benny. Two garlic butter biscuits, topped with spinach, poached eggs & crab legs with hollandaise sauce. Very savory & tasteful. The biscuits play a major role compared to the crab legs. Everything was well put together & I would recommend it to anyone!
Their drink selection stepped up as well. They have $ 3 (glass) mimosas. Their glasses are a pretty good size as well. You can choose between wine or sake, so why not get the sake! You can also choose between orange, mango, pineapple, pomegranate & cranberry juice. First one I got, was pomegranate, the second one I got, I mixed pineapple & mango. The waiter said the mango was fresh, not canned. I enjoyed both.

I can honestly say their food is great every time I have eaten here, I was pleasantly surprised by their Moscow Mule this visit! It was delish.
What really set this visit apart from any other before, was the service. Everyone was attentive but mostly our waiter, Reggie, was amazing. He made this experience one of the best in Tulsa and I wish there were more servers like him in Tulsa!

I brought a group of friends from out of town to in the raw for dinner. We were sat at a corner booth. After sitting at the booth for fifteen minutes we were asked by a friend from high school (who was not our server or the manager) to move so that a group who had supposedly made a reservation that they lost to have our table. The friend from high school stated that the manager may comp some drinks and if not he would. Feeling awkward that my friend may have to comp these drinks we declined. Why did the manager not come over in the first place? Soon the large group of 9 took the opposite booth blocking in my out of town friends. I tried to address the manager after our meal about how awkward the rest of our meal was and all she could say was «I do apologize» like a broken record player. My friends and I left with a terrible in our mouths. I will not be back.
Since my terrible experience I have contacted the restaurant hoping to speak to another manager, but no one has returned my call. If you are in Tulsa and looking for good sushi and a great experience I would recommend Yokozuna or zanmai.

I forget how good their sushi is. Went in with friends and sat in the front corner where they have a pillow palace! It was nice, but some of the pillows are uncomfortable so just find your favorite. WE started with the Diablo Shrimp as an appetizer and it was delicious as always. The sauce is wonderful with just enough spice and there is more than enough sauce for you to dip your shrimp if you don’t think it’s covered enough like my friend. They had a special of Philly Cheese Steak Eggrolls and we were skeptical to get them (so we didn’t), but as we saw them come out of the kitchen they looked so good! The people around us said they were good! Then I had a special Mango Roll. It was the perfect summer roll. It was sweet and spicy at the same time. The sauce they gave me was a little to apple-​saucy, but the roll didn’t need it! So good! The servers are great and the bar drinks have always been good when I go.

Best sushi in Tulsa. I have eaten here many times over the years I have been in this city, and it has always been consistently tasty and fresh. There is a wide variety of options-​my favorites are the «Some Like It Hot» the «6151», and the Diablo Shrimp. YUMMY!

Not the best sushi in the entire world but its edible. I am partial to some places in OKC but the In the Raw Brookside has really good ambiance not to mention cute service :)
Stop in for a cocktail and ask for Angel! She will hook it up! Austin is the
server there too!

Thank you Katy for my Carnival and Tiger roll today super delicious. Chill vibe today music in the background good crowd and great service from the staff awesome!!!

ITR is alright if you like Americanized sushi, but I’d steer clear if you prefer authentic.
I’ve ordered nigiri and hand rolls from there more than once, and the fish quality is less than satisfactory. I guess the popular rolls that are covered with sauce and cream cheese allow this restaurant to get away with it.

Best sushi ever! Me and my wife went on our trip to Tulsa a couple weeks ago, and it not only meet our expectations that we’ve come to enjoy from our experiences with the OKC location, but surpassed them.
Delicious fresh sushi prepared perfectly. We ordered quite a few rolls along with some tuna sashimi, and they all rocked! And extra props to our waiter that was amazing and friendly, even after the lunch rush crowd hit.
And get the crab cakes!
Great location, and a must stop in Tulsa!

As far as Tulsa sushi places go this is definatly a top contender. They set the ambiance very well. Its an upscale looking, dim lit place. During the daytime hours they have large windows overlooking brookside. I walked in and it didn’t take long to be greated. I was shown to my seat and my waitor came promptly. They have a brunch menu available for sunday afternoons that looked fabulous but I came for sushi. I ordered two rolls. The construction could have been a little better but the ingredients themselves tasted great. my waitor checked in on me from time to time. All in all good sushi, and very good service. I will be going back. Take note though, the weekends are usually very busy here.

I’ve never had a bad experience here. I love how their menu incorporates the traditional sushi but also innovative options. I always like to ask the chef to surprise me and have never been disappointed with his creative dishes (they make them look pretty too!). The ambiance is great and service has always been on point.
My favorite things to order are Phil’s diablo shrimp, the not in the raw combo (california roll, shrimp sushi and crab sushi), and the volcano roll when I want something spicy (deep-​fried shrimp, cream cheese, avocado and jalapeño with scallops).
I love their patio and when they have live music and their food truck out there. Not sure if there is a schedule one can look up who’s playing but it’s usually during the weekends.

In the raw has a good vibe. Somewhat small so it can be packed on busy nights. People mention a hipsterish vibe, but honestly these people must not have traveled to Austin or San Francisco in the past few years. Trendy might be a better word.
Started with fried goyoza dumplings. Standard but good. Nothing WOW about it, but it was tasty and started things up well.
The Volcano roll was pretty much mayo/​siracha with scallops poured on sushi. Very overpowering and covers up the taste of scallops, masking one of the main reasons to order this roll.
The tempura shrimp roll was stuffed with a large, battered shrimp. It was salty, crispy and had a nice crunch. It’s kinda odd to stuff such a good piece of fried shrimp into a more or less standard sushi roll, but it works.
I always enjoy eel, and I ordered the Rock and Roll. It was certainly a highlight. A lot of places use an overly sweet sauce with eel. In the Raw did a great job of keeping the focus on the freshness. A great sushi roll.
Finally was a pretty average run of the mill, tuna type roll. It wasn’t bad, but the next time I want to try a nice piece of fish I’ll order it Sashimi/​Nagiri style.
The bar seating looks pretty fun, you get to look at some pretty pieces of colorful fish and watch the chefs slice and dice up your dinner. We didn’t order drinks but I hear they are pretty good.
Overall, In the Raw is a good choice for Sushi in Tulsa. Certainly a top choice if you want to eat before/​after enjoying some of Tulsa’s drinking scene.
