What a lovely experience today at Yokozuna!! The chef's choice was amazing!!

'Yokozuna' in definition is the ultimate title for sumo wrestlers and this is the exact atmosphere that you get at this Yokozuna Sushi Restaurant. The ambience is a modern twist on an open Japanese restaurant. This restaurant is very popular and even at open (11am) there were 6 tables waiting for the doors to open. The food is very good! From unique Sushi roll specials, sashimi, pork belly dishes, poke bowls, signature cocktails and so much more - if you like Asian cuisine then you will like Yokozuna. Highly recommend from any occasion!

I only go there for their Hot Mess Signature rolls. Never knew Eel sauce tasted so good. We also tried several types of sushi, loved them all. Mangolian Beef was amazing. Sumo fried rice is also a good option. Great service and food is always good Highly recommended.

My family loves Yoko! As my go-to sushi spot, Yokozuna never disappoints. I've had everything from tacos to the salmon dish to sushi to sashimi, never with complaints. The salmon carpaccio is to die for, I could eat it every day. The food is fresh, the servers are friendly and time oriented, and the atmosphere is light and welcoming. Definitely give this spot a try if you haven't yet! Items in photos are Salmon Carpaccio, Yellowtail Carpaccio, Blackened Ahi Carpaccio, Ahi Zest Roll, Rainbow Roll, The Fresh Prince Roll, Hot Mess Roll, and The Flaming Lips Roll. All absolutely delicious.

The Volcano roll was excellent and our waiter was very nice. Perfect spot in south Tulsa!

Always a terrific meal. There are multiple half price rolls from 3 to 5 for happy hour. This is yet another fine restaurant from the Macnellies group. Fuji used to be my favorite sushi place in town, with them closed it's now Yokozuna.

Great menu selection - sushi, ramen, poke bowls, and entrees. I had a miso soup, Ika salad, and their featured roll, Ahi Zest Roll. Miso was delicious with fresh ingredients. The Ika salad was okay, but the squid was definitely from a can and not fresh. The Ahi Zest roll was a fun flavor twist of lemon and ginger with a touch of jalapeno heat. My only complaint was that the salmon was on the thin side and got lost in the flavor of everything else going on. Definitely the best sushi I’ve had in Tulsa!
