On our way out to Tiki Oasis, we stopped for dinner at the Tokyo Garden. As has already been pointed out, there is little in the way of Tiki left. However, you can still find several exotic drinks on their cocktail menu (It's in the main menu, not a seperate menu, look past the "oriental-ish" cocktails to the main cocktail section).

Otherwise, I guess the main thing is that I'm glad this former Tiki treasure is still a place one can wander- unlike those boarded up and left abandoned or worse, razed. The comparisons with the pictures on Tulsa TV's site are sad, but you can still just make out the bones of it in it's new form.

All that said, the former Jade East has made the transition to Japanese very well. The sushi is excellent and the atmophere still immersive by today's standards. It still has a small bar area at the rear of the main habachi room, and a sushi bar in a side lounge that might once have been a full bar.

The only other remaining feature is the wall fountain- still fully operational with a small bridge just in front of it.

I just now got our few pictures into and album and up, here;
