Yakimono Japanese Grill Express
3131 W. Memorial Rd.Oklahoma City, OK
(405) 607-8134
Yakimono is a fast food style Japanese restaurant that specializes in hibachi grill cooking and
sushi rolls. Steak, chicken, seafood, and vegetarian dinners are available along with miso soup,
salad, and appetizers.
One of the best features of Yakimono is the comfortable setting, and I like the fact that you can
get good food in a hurry. It is not that they take shortcuts, but that this type of food cooks quickly.
Orders are taken at the counter and they bring it to the table when it is ready, but otherwise be
prepared to pick up your own items such as extra napkins.
I usually think that vegetarian dishes are less flavorful than meat items, so the Tofu Special
Dinner seemed to be a good test of the restaurant's true flavor and quality. The most impressive
thing about this was the vegetables, with a fresh flavor and a good mixtures of different items.
I thought the tofu was good but average for different restaurants I have tried, and the sauce was not
as flavorful as I had experienced elsewhere. Overall this was a good dish, and a good substitute
for meat.
The Teriyaki Beef had much the same characteristics as the tofu special dish, with the
sauce being good but somewhat plain. I thought something was missing in what I normally
consider to be teriyaki beef in terms of the sauce that was used, but the beef was good. The
vegetables were good, as was the case with the tofu dish.
The Miso Soup tasted average to me, as did the Fried Rice.
Although I enjoyed the food, I thought it was on the expensive side. It does help to know, though,
that the food is healthy and good quality.
They do not serve hot tea, as I normally expect at Japanese restaurants, but iced tea and
tapioca drinks are available.
