Ocean 81 Sushi - Oklahoma City

The food is good across the board, but the dine-in atmosphere doesn't have much character. The service staff seems to know this as well, Ocean81 is definitely the type of place you should order online.

I came for lunch and got an appetizer and a single roll. The food was good. I like both the calamari and the OMG roll. However, my bill was over $40 for those two items and hot tea. No complaints about food or service, but it just wasn’t special enough to spend $50 after tip for lunch for one. I found everything on the menu to be high and don’t intend to go back.

This is not your average sushi joint. Unique, extremely fresh creations. Outstanding food and service

I ordered five nigiri and one Americanized sushi roll. The nigiri was well constructed. The slice of fish extended beyond the bed of rice which is typically more than you get in an American restaurant. The bed of rice was smaller than average and closer to the amount of rice you may receive in Japan. However, the fish was bland which is probably caused by their ageing process and the quality of the fish they used. The Americanized sushi roll was called the, Mountain Roll . I don 't normally order these types of rolls because I 'm not a fan of their typical non-traditional ingredients (cream cheese, avocado, mango, fried or tempura ingredients, and mayo based sauces), but I was curious to see if the flavors may compliment each other well. The roll was good but I wasn 't able to distinguish between the ingredients. I would have preferred a dynamic sense of flavours given all of the ingredients. The roll was also smaller in diameter than is typically served in a sushi restaurant in the U.S. It was probably an attempt to reduce the restaurant 's cost. As one may tell if one has read this far, I am very selective with my choice of sushi and favor traditional Japanese sushi. I wasn 't satisfied with the quality of the ingredients and will not return to this restaurant. However, if you are not concerned with receiving the highest quality sushi you may enjoy the food here.

Bring plenty of money but know it's worth it! You gotta try the uni!!
