Not
only was it a sushi bar, it was and is today a really good sushi
bar, and weve eaten lots of sushi in a lot of different places,
including many in Japan.
I was, frankly, shocked to see
Tokyo come in third in this years Best of OKC. Sushi Neko usually
gets No. 1 and, to be fair, I can understand its appeal. I will admit
and even applaud the fact that Neko serves good sushi, but I find flashy
atmosphere a detraction from the sacred sushi experience. But In the
Raw Sushi? It is a chain, for heavens sake!
Tokyo
lacks the flash of the other two places. It is just a great family-style
restaurant that flies under the radar. The important factor is that it
has employed the same chef for the last 25 years. In sushi, this kind of
thing really matters. The guy is an artist who pays close attention to
his craft. Ive watched him work.
Sushi eaters of OKC, get a grip and go to Tokyo.

Editors note: In the Raw Sushi is an Oklahoma-based chain and, therefore. was eligible for Oklahoma Gazettes Best of OKC.
