We invite you to embark on a journey into Japanese gastropub culture at Awaji Izakaya. Our mission remains steadfast: to provide an exceptional dining experience that seamlessly blends the traditional flavors of Japan with a contemporary twist.

We offer an intimate, dimly lit ambiance that encapsulates the spirit of a Japanese gastropub. We proudly present the freshest seafood available in the OKC market, complemented by delightful yakitori, expertly crafted cocktails, and refreshing Japanese beers and sakes.

    Awaji was a great date night with the wife. We sat at the sushi bar, and were able to watch the chefs make the great sushi. We both got two drinks (amazing Japanese whiskey btw), two entrees and two rolls. Everything was amazing and can’t go wrong with any selection. We’ll be back.

    Great experience. Awesome food and great service. We were running late for our reservation and they called us and still had a table for us when we got there. Everything we ordered was really good. Will definitely be going here a lot.

    I’d consider this to be one of the top sushi spots! I feel that the quality is very good and always fresh which is important especially when eating sushi! This is our 2nd time and we will definitely go back again!

    It was nice to find a great sushi place in OKC. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere that didn’t seem pretentious. You can tell that they focus on the food and experience.

    Always amazing! Friendly staff great bites. Some of my favorite sushi rolls in the city. The Duo-pressed Osaka Style is hard to beat. I always get the Seasonal Nigiri and any seasonal app specials. Richard and team are super!

    The Bluefin Tuna was excellent and the Gold digger roll is the best sushi roll that I’ve ever tasted.
