Memories of Japan — Restaurant in Broken Arrow

This is the best sushi place in BA and I will fight anyone who contests that. Lowkey atmosphere, family-owned, delicious food. My kinda place. I'd recommend a dinner box (Box A is my go to), but I also love the seaweed salad and the volcano roll. From raw cuts to tempura rolls, the guys working that bar are craftsmen. Their work ethic is so strong that they closed for a couple days last year because the sushi chefs hadn't had a vacation in something like 8 years. That's commitment. I don't even care if you eat anything just go and throw money at their faces. I've been a regular since I was a child and, as long as I'm local, that isn't changing

Edit Summer 2020: More recently I have noticed an unfortunate dip in quality. There's something about the Teriyaki Chicken dinner box (the earlier mentioned Box A) that really exemplifies this: the food doesn't feel quite as fresh anymore. I'm not certain if they've taken to pre-cooking meals, but the chicken doesn't fall apart the way that it used to. It used to have a serious melt to it. Now it often feels dry in the mouth, even when soaked with teriyaki. I'm getting to a point where I'd just much rather make it myself. The sides dishes suffer something similar that I can only imagine is from being pre-cooked and then refrigerated.

Mind you, I've eaten in house since Covid and at my own house. It's not the takeaway doing in the flavor-- it's leaving the kitchen with this new so-so quality to it. I have to hope that it's something about training the next generation or maybe Covid related sacrifices that have lead to this; unfortunately, the restaurant is just not a five star anymore. With that said, I have to give them props for how responsibly they've operated since the 'Rona started making its rounds.

However, the service is still as good as ever; same kid I've seen in there since I was a kid is still taking orders, polite as he ever was. I'd really like to see the business pull through, but I can't say their food is as special as it once was. Hoping they prove me wrong the next time...

Food = Always top tier, always leave full and satisfied. All of their rolls are classic and tasteful. No one does a Cali roll like MOJ - love the extra cucumbers in there that give that nice crunch! The Tulsa roll is my fave. Their miso soup transports me back to Japan. Garlic chicken with that sauce is unique and delicious. So much more food for such a decent price compared to other sushi places in BA/Tulsa/Owasso.

Service = Always polite and accommodating. You can tell they care about their customers.

Atmosphere = Love the authenticity. It is quiet and intimate, with low-lighting and a lovely Japanese city pop playlist playing low in the background.

MOJ will always have a special place in my heart - first place for me to try sushi, first date with husband, and first Japanese restaurant I’ve left fully satisfied from since our trip to Japan a couple of years ago. Thank you for the continued great...

We were in town for a concert on Nov 30th. We love sushi and saw this place so we decided to try it for dinner . First we were not even greeted friendly- just seated . The waiter we had - didn’t even tell us his name strictly just an order taker . We had to ask him for EVERYTHING about 4 times . We had to get up from the booth and ask him for our check - when I told him that we had to go get him as his sat at the front counter with another waiter he got defensive and told me that he doesn’t go to tables if food is still there!!! Horrible lack of service. Food was average - the salmon sashimi was good . The fried dynamite roll was like a thick burrito sliced - too much crust, gross . We have eaten sushi in many cities and towns all over . This was the worst experience at a sushi restaurant. Save your money for a better place that cares about...
