First sushi I try in Oklahoma City. Here's my take. Service: A - asked what ingredients I liked and offered rolls that had them in it, or recommended other rolls I might like. Food: A - everything tasted fresh. Atmosphere: C - I thought the area could be a little bit cooler during the summer, and some music for background noise.

Going middle of the road here. I ordered sushi take out one night and it was pretty good! The red canyon was comparable to the red canyon at a much more expensive restaurant in midtown. Tonight I ordered teriyaki chicken and it was nothing I expected. The sauce WASN'T teriyaki AT ALL. The place at Penn Square mall has the teriyaki chicken bowl for me! Just wish I could find it away from the mall. Sushi is a go here though.

What a great little sushi place! We had an assortment of sushi rolls, edamame, gyosha, and a hand roll. It was all top-notch and inexpensive. We were treated very well by the waiter and we could see Shawn making the rolls in the background.

I knew it was too good to be true. Great location, great prices, bad sushi. Keep in mind this was to-go at 2pm on a Tuesday... I ordered the chicken teriyaki rice bowl for my toddler. It was mostly onions, some peppers, very little chicken and hardly any teriyaki sauce. The chicken was so dry it was inedible. The rice was ok, but I trashed the rest. I got 4 rolls to try for myself: California, Philadelphia, spicy yellowtail and lifesaver. This may sound strange, but the Cali roll was coated in old/stale sesame seeds. That's what it tasted like. The rolls all fell apart, they were large. The philly had fresh salmon, not smoked, and was just not good. The spicy yellowtail the same, I like that it had good sized pieces of fish in it, but the flavor was really lacking. The Lifesaver...I thought it was pretty strange that this was on the menu considering its popularity at Neko. There is no comparison for Neko's lifesaver roll. They tried, but missed the mark. The tempura fried bacon tasted like toast. Toast inside sushi. It's just not right!!! I've wanted to try it for a long time. I tried it. I will not be going back. At least it was cheap so I didn't feel too badly about throwing more than half of my order away.

I really, REALLY wanted some sushi today. Normally, I would just ignore my craving for raw fish, because there really aren't that many options within a 10 minute drive from home/work, but I was going to be in the area anyways. Well, I spent way too long looking for the place. They are tucked away in a small strip of businesses. Neither their sign above their door nor their sign next to the road are very visible. I circled around 3 times looking for them. I started to think they went out of business because I tried their phone number and it just beeped and cancelled out the call. The gyoza I ordered was yummy (though a tad cool); I felt rushed because they brought out my roll before I was even halfway through my appetizer. Finally, the main reason I'm marking the rating so low is because I had to ask how old the fish was. I know what fresh fish looks like. The color was off, and there were brown spots on the fish. He showed me the slab of meat he cut from and said that every fish is different and it's normal for it to have brown spots. That bad fish will smell bad. Nope... I've bought fish many times. Yes, it will start to smell, but you can also tell from color. Honestly, I didn't feel like fighting (I could sense I wouldn't win), so I just ate the rainbow roll that had semi-stiff shrimp, brown spotted tuna, brownish yellow tail, and brown spotted salmon. Another indication that the fish wasn't fresh - it didn't taste fresh. I won't be back until I see a change in their signage or hear something good from someone else.

Surprisingly good sushi. We stopped in on a whim, and really enjoyed it. We'll be back.

I've been to most of the sushi joints in Oklahoma City and this place probably has the best overall value. Have I had better Japanese food with better ambience? Definitely, but I paid a lot more for it. The atmosphere could be better, but it's clearly a very casual sushi joint, so I am not going to hold that against them. In the past few months since my first visit, they have upgraded some of the tables to booths, which is clearly a step in the right direction. The premium rolls are good, but so are the cheap rolls. Some of their stuff is ridiculously cheap like their huge house salad with a great ginger dressing for $3.50 or avocado rolls for $3.00. And they don't charge extra for sides of spicy mayo/eel sauce, which actually happens at some places. Another humongous strength of Shawn's is that every time I've been there, 100% of the sushi is made by Shawn. Consistency is HUGE as far as sushi goes and one guy making all the sushi is a pretty significant factor as far as I'm concerned. That being said, if I were single, I'd probably take a first date to almost any other sushi place in OKC (Saii Asian Bistro or Neko probably), but for a convenient and affordable sushi fix with the girlfriend or my best buds, you can't really beat Shawn's. Don't go in expecting anything more than solid sushi at solid prices. For what it is though, I'd probably give them 5/5 if they added some cheap sake to the menu.

Got the dragon roll. 8 pieces. Miso soup leaves a little to be desired. Otherwise the sushi chef did a great job and seems nice.

Visiting from out of town I've been to sake house too so compares to their sushi; Sake house is better I had the Baja California roll it was ok and I got what was called a hand rolled type of sushi, I'll never do that again

There are a few sushi places within 5 miles of where I live, and I've passed Shawn's over and over and over. Now, I'm a gal who loves her sushi, and reviewing is my jam. Sushi+something I haven't reviewed? Yes, please. I called in to order take-out since the boyfriend and I were hitting multiple places to feed everyone. The young lady who answered the phone was very nice and answered any question I had with efficiency and kindness. I ordered Pink rolls (6 for $6.95) and seaweed salad (OF COURSE). The inside was clean, so maybe it was an off day when a couple of others mentioned it not being so neat inside. Though, I'd have been disgruntled too if it was dirty when I went. It was quiet with only two patrons at the time. AN ASIDE: I think the girl of the pair was new to sushi. She was apprehensive and eating it with a fork. I kind of giggled. A fork?! Heee. Anyway. The same woman who took my order was working the register and politely retrieved my order and gave it to me. She was very nice and smiled the whole time. It's not always easy to smile when you're working, especially in service, so I appreciate that simple gesture. FOODZ: Seaweed salad 5/5: I haven't had a seaweed salad I didn't like, but it does seem like something difficult to mess up. Pink rolls 3/5: Tempura shrimp, avocado, cucumber, Japanese mayo, crab meat, and masago. It tasted fine, nothing amazing or mind BLASTING. But it was incredibly flimsy. I picked it up and it would collapse almost each time, or parts would fall out. I judge sushi heavily on integrity, and that's not a good sign. I understand that it has quite a lot inside of it, but I've had similar sushi that was nice and tight. All that being said, I can see myself coming here once in a while.

Pretty good sushi. The price isn't bad. No frills. Rolls aren't super fancy. Restaurant isn't fancy at all. Overall pretty good for casual sushi but may be overpriced for the type of restaurant it is.

Had the teriyaki chicken lunch special, mostly celery with very little chicken and hardy any teriyaki flavor. Came with big ball of white rice on side and a 2 pot sticker. Not a big fan of celery so I must give this lunch special two thumbs down. Also order a few rolls of sushi (spicy cowboy and California rolls), yes this is not Nobu but you're not paying Nobu prices either. The rolls were good for the price and maybe worth coming back for only. Posted pics of our lunch special.

Shawn's always has good food and fast service! Pretty good prices, too. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

We live near by and this has become our regular sushi place. Work late = Shawn's. First the sushi is great! thick cuts quickly prepared and great prices. Shawn's a great guy too. When he's not busy making sushi he'll stop by and say hello. That's were it ends. The restaurant itself needs to be updated to have more of a Japanese restaurant feel. There also needs to a much better beer selection. Bud, Corana, etc doesn't cut it. The wait staff needs some help too. One girl doesn't like sushi, she's stated she's never tried it so how would she know? The other girl is pretty cool and does a great job. All that said, it's all about the sushi which is wonderful! TRY IT.

Well, Nobu it ain't. We almost didn't even stay: it was lit up like a Subway and every available table needed to be bussed or cleaned. A TV blared a kids' Christmas special, while one waitress and two sushi/kitchen people toiled away. But the Now Hiring sign in the window and glowing reviews coaxed us to cut a little slack and sit down. Shawn may wish we had kept looking. This is the kind of place I want to go all Gordon Ramsay on, or the Julie P version of GR. Here's the deal: the food is good. The Captain Crunch roll was as good as any we've had in the city, and the mermaid roll and the tempura roll were also very good. The miso was clearly made in house same day and was wonderful. But that's where the praise stops. Maybe if you just got take out, that's all you'd need to know. But atmosphere is important to me. Our dishes were spotted, or worse, caked with dried miso. The bottom of my miso saucer was visibly dirty. The service stressed us out because we felt her stress. Dirty tables all around us, bright lights, loud TVs, and receipt paper from the day's take spilling down onto the floor. I don't even mind the strip mall locale. One of my favorite sushi places in LA was in a strip mall in Studio City. But once you're inside a sushi place, you need to feel good about it. Because sushi at a strip mall in Oklahoma sounds oxy-moronic enough, you need to instill some confidence in the cleanliness and freshness of the food. Let's go top to bottom on this deal, from someone who started her restaurant life at a small sushi bar in Norman Oklahoma. You can either go luxurious (Neko), which is often cost-prohibitive, or spartan (Tokyo ala Ozu), but you can't go Subway on a sushi store. Here's my unsolicited advice to Shawn, who makes excellent sushi but needs an image overhaul. I don't mean this to be condescending. I know it's hard to open a restaurant. I know it's hard to find time and money. But this is worth the extra effort because the food is good and it fills a sushi sized void in this part of OKC. So here goes: -Get rid of the fluorescent lights. You've hung some cool pendant lights, can you make that work for dining room lighting? -Hang some drapes to drown on the din of Northwest Expressway and parking lot lights. Some could be light and noise blockers and some decorative. -Get some new plates. We ate our sushi off saucers. The molded plastic ones are perfectly fine, but a sushi place needs like a 25 rectangle plates per four top. -Kill your TV and lose the boom box. A small stereo would look better and could play some quiet music. Even a good ipod doc would be better than this. -The bathroom was gross. No toilet paper, a dirty sink, etc. Does not instill confidence. -Set up a protocol for each table. The waitress seemed so stressed. Probably because at every turn we were asking for something. Can we have napkins? Can we have plates? Can we have soy sauce? That's stressful, but also unnecessary. If the tables had been properly bussed and set back up, they would have plates, soy dishes, a napkin with chopsticks and both kinds of soy. That way, if someone needed to ask for a fork or a straw, the server wouldn't be so frustrated. That's just round one. Round two, I'd encourage black cloth napkins with chopsticks inside, little bonsai trees, real tea pitchers with real green tea instead of tea bags. Linen service for the cloth napkins would solve the clean apron problem. I say this with love. We loved the sushi. I want this to do well. I don't think any of this is much more than cosmetic, but I think it would add so much if customers were able to really get comfortable and relax.

We ate here via a friend referral who talked about it like it was "OUT OF THIS WORLD!" Well, that phrase can be misconstrued in a variety of ways. We were happy to sit down at a small business to help promote and support, because we believe in the small-business enterprise. 1st off: The Food! The food was without question, amazing! The sushi was beyond quality and Shawn certainly knows what he is doing, and I'm glad he branched out on his own. That was the Sushi, though. The edemame was something that I might as well have purchased frozen from the grocery store and heated myself. It came out dry without kosher salt. The waitress had 2 other tables that had already eaten and she was in a frantic the whole time like the place was packed or something. 2nd: The Service! I don't wish to hurt the feelings of others in my noble attempt at honesty, but the young lady working that evening was, well, I guess to learn something new you have to start somewhere, right?! She apologized over and over again saying that it was her "first day." Eeeeesh! Customer Service 101 says DON'T EVER SAY IT'S YOUR FIRST DAY!!! Otherwise, you lose instant credibility. So, as the night went on and she kept discrediting herself, poor thing, she left our sushi sitting on the counter for 10 minutes. I know this because we all kept looking over wondering if it was ours. By this point she only had 1 other table that had just been seated. We had to practically beg for everything, no silverware, asked for napkins 3 times, no refills, no ramakins for our soy sauce, etc. The food is the reason they didn't get a 2-Star, and she's the reason they didn't quite get to a 4-Star. This is obviously hit or miss with quality of service because the sushi was great. Just make sure you ask them to prepare your edemame properly. :)

I just haven't bothered going anywhere else for sushi yet. The sushi here is so delish and the new(er) waitress is super friendly and actually gives good service, something I find rare in this town. Last night I had the Mermaid Roll and the Captain Crunch roll. The Mermaid roll had large pieces of tuna and a little bit of spice. I wouldn't say it is my favorite, but if you like milder sushi, it is worth trying. The Captain Crunch roll was warm, crunchy and savory. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! One of my favorites is the Spicy Cowboy Roll. I've had both cajun rolls; one was spicy and one was milder. Ask the waitress which is which if you have a preference, I can't remember. I've been here probably 7 or 8 times since my original post and I keep coming back because I have yet to have a bad roll or piece. Shawn himself seems to always be there and though he is busy making the sushi, he will take a few moments to speak to you, if you make the effort. Every time I go there is always someone that seems to be a regular. They do have other items on the menu such as salads and soups, but I only pay attention to the sushi, so I can't really comment on them. If I could give them 4.5 stars I would, only because I would love to see Shawn operate in a bit of a more upscale atmosphere and I wish they served Sake. Of course, with a more upscale atmosphere comes a higher price, but I would be very willing to pay a bit more, the food it totally worth it. Love, love, LOVE the sushi here.

First warning - If you have a Restaurant.com gift certificate, you can't use it for take-out. It doesn't say that on the gift certificate, but we asked (tired and wanted to eat at home in our pajamas) and were told NO. So, we ate there. Nice atmosphere. Kind of bland, but clean. Used the bathrooms - men's could have used some minor repairs, but I notice that kind of thing. Wife didn't have any complaints about the women's. The waiter/busboy was very attentive and asked several times if we needed refills on our drinks. There were several other patrons at the time, but it seemed quiet for a weekend night. I had the chicken teriyaki rice bowl. Too much celery, and not what I was expecting. If you like chicken, celery, and onions with a big scoop of rice on the side, you'll be happy. Seemed freshly made, not nuked, which - let's face it - is an issue in some places. Just not my thing. Had a few bites, boxed up the rest and brought it home for later (my wife ate it). My wife had the seaweed salad and ninja roll. (Yeah, this restaurant was her pick.) She's from Boston and pretty anal about her sushi, and loved this place. Seaweed salad was fantastic. Ninja roll was great - a little unwieldy but didn't fall apart. Served with a generous amount of ginger and wasabi on the side. Didn't notice any soy sauce on the table and had to ask for it. One thing she really appreciated was the menu making it clear what was fresh, cooked, and veggie (F, C, and V on the menu). She's pregnant and can't eat the fresh stuff until that's done, so it was easy for her to pick something she could eat because the menu was so clear. Very reasonable price on the sushi. We've been to (Bricktown sushi restaurant) before and would probably return to Shawn's first. She was a little disappointed that they didn't have Inari, at least not on the menu, but was happy with the menu variety otherwise. We'll probably be back - but we'll get take-out, because this isn't a restaurant to visit unless everyone there likes sushi.

I love this place. The sushi is great! The people are so nice. It is my family's "go to" place for sushi. We love the laid back atmosphere. Did I mention it tastes great!

From the outside this place looks like a sub shop or ice cream parlor. Do not let the outside fool you. The service is good and friendly and the food is made fresh and is excellent. There is a reason this place, not others, is Number 1 Zagat rated.

Took the family for lunch here Saturday. The gyoza was very good and the sushi was great! Our waitress was attentive and friendly and never let us go unnoticed. We had a California roll, a Baja California roll, Cajun roll, spicy tuna roll, and a Rainbow roll. All were spectacular and we only spent $70...with tip! This little pace is big on taste and value. I highly recommends it to anyone who loves good sushi. You will not be dissapointed. This will be our go to sushi spot from now on.
(5)Kayla B.
Can't say the the atmosphere was much to be desired, but the service was friendly and fast. I got take out: The Captain Crunch roll and the Spicy Cowboy roll, miso soup, edamame. You can't hardly mess up edamame and it was fine. I've had better miso soup, but there was nothing bad about this one. The rolls had great flavor! The Spicy Cowboy was spicy enough for me, but you may need to ask them to turn up the heat if you like things pretty hot. Both rolls had tempura flakes and both were a bit soggy. I do believe, however, this had to do with the fact that it was take out and placed in a styrofoam container and bagged with my soup and edamame that resulted in a bit of a steam effect. The verdict: good sushi, good price. Not recommended for special occasions given the more cafe style dining room. Good place for informal dinners with friends and family and lunches.
