Akira Sushi Bar

What Akira Sushi Bar does

Akira Sushi Bar is a privately-held Japanese and sushi restaurant founded on February 25, 2012 by Chef Huy, who serves as sole owner and head chef. The company operates a flagship full-service dine-in and carry-out restaurant at Tyann Plaza in Owasso, Oklahoma (9455 N. Owasso Expy, Suite E), and has extended its brand into the Tulsa market through sister-location arrangements branded "Akira Sushi & Ramen" at Mother Road Market (a food hall) and at Woodland Hills Mall, with separate PDF menus maintained for each sister site. Across all sites, the company employs 12 people.

The product offering centers on a traditional and specialty Japanese menu including appetizers, salads, soups, sushi rolls, nigiri, sashimi, sushi combinations (up to an Omakase tier priced at $60–$95), cooked entrees, and stir-fry noodles, complemented by a beverage program of signature cocktails, sake, beer, and wine. A structured lunch specials program ($13.95 for two items, $19.95 for three items, served 11am–3pm) drives midday traffic, and sushi party trays ($59–$79) support catering-style occasions. A key operational differentiator is weekly air-shipment of specialty fish — Toro, Bluefin Tuna, Tai, Amberjack, Ora Salmon, and Uni — from certified and licensed providers. Pricing is unit-based pay-as-you-go, with an 18% gratuity added to parties of five or more at lunch or six or more at dinner; no items include tax in listed prices. Distribution is exclusively through the four physical locations plus phone-based carry-out orders; there is no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or delivery infrastructure disclosed.

The business serves local Owasso and Tulsa metro diners seeking Japanese and sushi cuisine, with secondary use cases around group dining and special occasions. Marketing channels are limited to the company website, a Facebook page, and word-of-mouth referrals. The company is founder-owned, has no external funding, no parent company, no disclosed revenue, and operates entirely within Oklahoma. Operating hours are Monday–Thursday 11am–9pm, Friday–Saturday 11am–9:30pm, and closed Sundays.

• Bonefish Grill: National casual-dining chain specializing in fresh seafood and sushi-accompaniment items. Comparable as a scaled dine-in operator that competes for premium seafood-driven occasions, though broader in menu than Akira's sushi focus.
• P.F. Chang's: National Asian-casual dining chain with sushi and Japanese-inspired menu items. Comparable as a broad-line Asian dine-in operator competing for similar dinner and group-occasion occasions.

• Sushi Hana: Oklahoma-based Japanese and sushi restaurant serving dine-in customers. Comparable as a regional sushi operator targeting local diners with traditional and specialty rolls.

Regional players
