In the Raw 200 S. Oklahoma 702-1325 New owners took over in January, and chef Ashley Nguyen is pulling out all the stops in sushi making. Don’t pass up the Rock Star roll, done with fresh tuna, asparagus, bacon and cream cheese, or the Thunder roll. In the Raw serves lunch and dinner, and general […]
