Nhinja Sushi & Wok 

What started with two rambunctious toddlers being typical energetic boys in a restaurant, led parents Kang and Mary Nhin to envision a new style of dining. “Even at my own restaurant, Kang’s Asian Bistro and Sushi Bar, I remember feeling slightly embarrassed by my sons’ behavior one day. I thought, ‘If we feel this way in our own restaurant with young children, how do others feel?’” That milestone moment sparked an idea for a fresh casual sushi spot where families could enjoy top-notch sushi and homemade wok’d meals at affordable prices in a laid-back atmosphere. 

In 2010, the Nhins opened their flagship restaurant, Nhinja Sushi & Wok, on North May Avenue in OKC. Fourteen years later, with three growing, thriving sons and five Nhinja restaurant locations throughout the metro, the Nhins epitomize the success that comes with hard work and dedication. Their showstopping sushi rolls, saucy rice and noodle bowls, delicious wraps, and tasty starters are the perfect bite for lunch or dinner with friends or family, take-out for a cozy night at home, and stunning catering platters that dazzle any crowd. 

On a Roll 

Striking the perfect balance between superior ingredients and an affordable menu, Nhinja’s fresh-casual style is a win-win for today’s busy lifestyles. Customers order at the counter and food is prepared and cooked after you order it, not before. “It’s not sitting there in a metal pan,” Mary explains. “It may take a bit more time, but it provides a fresher dining experience. Customers receive a dish crafted specifically for them, often with higher quality and customization.” 

Chief menu creator, Kang, always uses the freshest vegetables, never using vacuum-packed, pre-cut vegetables. We never put filler in our proteins,” Mary adds. “We use 100% beef, chicken, and seafood, seasoned with blended spices.” And you can taste the goodness in every delectable bite! Not to be missed, their signature sauces are a highlight all their own– delicate and natural, yet full-bodied in flavor. The signature house soy garlic, Japanese sweet honey sauce, sweet Thai chili sauce, Dynamite sauce, and spicy mayo are good enough to eat with a spoon–and no one will judge you if you do! 

Among the most popular sushi selections are the Thunder Roll featuring tempura shrimp, the Nhinja Roll with salmon, cream cheese, and jalapeno, and the Spider Roll with tempura soft shell crab. 

In a Bowl 

Sushi isn’t the only star of the show at this go-to favorite metro restaurant. Deliciously filling rice and noodle bowls offer a sensational variety of flavors for every taste. Dive into a steamy serving of Mandarin Orange, Crispy Honey, General TSO’s, or Spicy Kung Pao, among others, with your choice of chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu, and white or brown rice. 

In the mood for soup, salad, or starters? Try the Miso Soup to warm you on a chilly day. And don’t miss the fantastic starters like fresh, crunchy lettuce wraps, tasty spring rolls and egg rolls, Poke Bowl, and the popular Nhinja Poppers–rice balls stuffed with salmon, tempura fried and served with spicy mayo. It just gets better with every bite!
