The much anticipated Ohayo Sushi restaurant opened its doors to the public last Thursday with a soft opening.

The wait is over for all-you-can-eat sushi in Tyler. The Ohayo Sushi restaurant opened its doors to the public last week.

The building that housed Traditions Restaurant, which employees said closed without warning in January, is now open as a seafood and Japanese fusion restaurant.

A soft opening was held Thursday, according to general manager Jimmy Lu. Lu told the Tyler Paper in a previous interview he was excited to open in the area.

“We are excited to get going and serve the community,” he said. “Tyler is a great market and we are happy to be here.”

Tylerites who have dined at the seafood and Japanese restaurant are raving on social media about the food and service.

One diner wrote a Facebook post with nothing but good things to say about their experience. The couple, who are fans of the restaurant’s Webster location, had been waiting since the beginning of summer for Ohayo to open in Tyler and encourages diners to “run, don’t walk” to the new restaurant. 

Another said they would no longer need to make the drive to Dallas for the dining experience.

“I’ll be making far less trips to Dallas now that Ohayo all you can eat sushi is open in Tyler now. It’s is fantastic. Service and food were amazing,” the post read.

The restaurant offers appetizers including harumaki, gyoza, lettuce wraps, edamame and more. There is also soup and salad. The menu includes sushi or sashimi, rolls or handrolls, hibachi, and specialty rolls. The restaurant also has dessert items. 

The dinner cost is $31.95 per person for all-you-can-eat items with a soft drink included. The dinner cost for kids 4 to 10 is $16.95 with a drink included. To encourage less waste, the restaurant has a policy in which leftovers, uneaten or food packed to-go will be an extra charge, according to the menu. 

Ohayo Sushi is located at 6205 South Broadway Avenue and can be reached at 903-630-6668.

Current hours are 11 to 9:30 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
