It was extremely cold inside this little restaurant but it was nicely decorated.
They have a lunch special of two rolls for $10.95 which was a terrific deal! I opted for the cajun roll & the spicy tuna. They were both fantastic!! The rolls had a good amount of ingredients & weren't just all rice. I don't remember the rolls my coworker got, (one was California), but she was very happy with her choices as well. She tried one of my cajun pieces & said she wished she'd gotten that one too.
We will definitely be back as this is a short walk from my office. The sushi was fresh, the service was good... what's not to like?? -

Oh my word; I did what I do is sushi restaurants everywhere; order a roll minus the rice. This place could not handle it. I told them to just toss it in a bowl, and they couldn't do it. Grr! I ended up ordering sashimi, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted all the different flavors mingled. I was going to get Lady Love.
I had half superwhite tuna and half salmon. The super white was really good. But cut thin. The salmon was just okay.
Anyway, I knew I didn't love this place, but it was alright, but after today, I'll just take a pass -

Great sushi! A little cold so bring a sweater, but excellent sushi and service. We had the Rock-'n'-roll and the spider deluxe. Both were delicious.

Park Harvey Sushi & Sports Lounge is just okay in my opinion. Sushi and a sports lounge sounds like a good concept but I got kind of a dude vibe, which isn't a bad thing, just not my cup of tea.

I'm surprised to see so much negativity in the reviews here. This is one of my favorite sushi places- I consider it one of OKC's best kept secrets.
I think a lot of people may have a bad impression because they were expecting something different than the somewhat unique atmosphere- it is a Sports Bar-Sushi Lounge combo, which means it can be loud sometimes (especially after work) and may or may not be the best intimate date night choice depending on the crowd. During lunchtime, the restaurant is more quiet and feels like a sushi place. The Park Harvey Apartments in the same building house a lot of young professionals in their 20s and 30s who like to hang out here for happy hour or before a night out, creating more of a sports bar atmosphere in the evenings. Freddie, one of the owners, is a huge OU enthusiast and has a ton of memorabilia displayed throughout the restaurant. The music is typically Top 40s or Rap/HipHop/R&B. There are neon signs and TVs featuring sports events or news adorning the walls. There are also plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows, making for some great people watching if you're having a solo lunch. If you're starting the evening by yourself, the bar is a great place to meet new people to hang out with.
Now the important part- the food and drinks. I like to order the miso soup if I'm sitting at a table. I personally love it- it's a simple base with diced tofu and fresh green onions and the portion is a cup size, which I like. The onions (or maybe they're actually scallions??) always have a delicate, not too strong flavor. If I'm sitting at the bar, I prefer to skip the soup and make a mini-meal of the delicious, complementary seasoned pretzels they serve in little bowls. I've had the edamame before but only because I was with someone else who likes it. I'm not the best judge of edamame, but do not remember anything particularly great or horrible about it.
They have several veggie rolls, which unlike many places, do not come out tasting like fish. All of the rolls I've tried have been great. The Monster Roll without cream cheese or mayo is one of my favorites. I can't speak for the actual sushi or sashimi, although friends have given them rave reviews.
Drinks- they have several Japanese beers and Sake available, as well as your typical domestics and well drinks. It's fairly typical to see more shot glasses than wine glasses in the evenings here. They sometimes have wine/spirits reps hosting events with tastings or free promo gift items, which are always a big hit.
Prices- The prices are typical for a sushi place. The lunch special is great- 2 rolls from a list of about 10-15 choices for $10. The dinner prices are about $8-$14 per roll. Drinks are average prices.
Service- I've never had bad service here. The owners or their family members are almost always there. Freddie and Rachel are fun people- Rachel is always smiling and Freddie is always laughing or telling jokes. During the day, food times are fast. During the evening, they can be a little longer.
Overall, I'd recommend this place and can't think of a single bad experience or negative thing I've seen after multiple visits. If a sports bar environment isn't for you, check them out during the day. If suits and quiet time isn't your thing, go on a Thursday or Friday evening.
