"We love Yoko! They have great food and service that is unmatchable. Our waitress was Meg, and she provides outstanding service every time. My 6yr old even loves her because she spends a few minutes briefly talking with him too. The Thunder roll this year was excellent! Too bad we didn't make it further in the play offs. Also, I need to recommend the Key Lime Mousse for dessert. Best dessert hands down. Ask to speak with Martina the Manager. She always wants to know if you've received top notch service. She's a great manager."

"We were at Yokozuna for dinner on Saturday March 16th as part of a getaway to Tulsa. We'd completely forgotten that it was St Patricks day so the whole downtown area was buzzing. We were slightly late for our 8pm reservation but the restaurant managed to accomodate us.
Our server was smiley and attentive and checked in regularly. I've rated the service very good as opposed to excellent only because the appetisers were a little slow arriving and our sushi was ready before we were. However our server was, as mentioned, great. The pupu platter appetisers were delicious though maybe not entirely Japanese. The blackened Ahi tuna sashimi was devine, but some spicy rolls were a little dry. All in all a good meal/ambience and WILL return"

"This place was a great experience. It was my first time to ever have sushi, the waiter was very knowledgable about what to get for a first timer, even though my boyfriend had already been it was well worth the surprise. We had 3 different things and it was well worth it... Also the bar drinks were semi strong but taste wonderful!"

"The food was amazing. I couldnt have asked for better. The staff was friendly and helpful when I wouldnt be able to make my exact reservation time. I called and asked to for it to be moved back about 15 minutes and they were quick to say yes. When I showed up, I waited no time for my table and had great service. Really made me look good on Valentine's day. Definitely coming back soon."
