One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

Met someone on OKC that you're not ready to splurge on quite yet, but you're committed to a second date? From now thru Thursday you can treat them to a sushi dinner at Takami, where they're offering $5 rolls in a classy Downtown setting.

To celebrate their anniversary, the Japanese joint is offering five sushi rolls for $5 each. Takami Sushi and Robata will be applying the discount to the following rolls, which normally hover around the $15 range: a baked king crab roll; the vegetarian garden roll; the inside-out spicy yellowtail roll; a crunch roll made with tempura and eel sauce; and the penthouse roll, which is basically a spicy tuna roll wrapped in soy with tempura inside. The discounted sushi rolls are available only at dinner, and can't be enjoyed in conjunction with any other promotions.

Though it's not as steep of a deal as the $3 deals they did for their third anniversary, this isn't bad. And it'll cost you about as much as a trip to the taco truck, but it'll look a heck of a lot classier.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
