A bit pricey but possibly the best sushi you've ever had, and the service was amazing. Highly recommended!

I sat at Ozumo for a solo lunch date and what an amazing experience. Everyone was super friendly and professional. Luke, my server was the best! He helped me pick out some items off the menu and all of his suggestions were DELICIOUS! The fish is so fresh. The wagyu nigiri is to die for! The Giddy Geisha?… give me 14 more please!! lol The host(unfortunately I can’t remember her name)  even stopped by to check in on me and make sure I was doing ok. Just a great experience overall. Would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be stopping by whenever I’m in town.

Despite not having a reservation, we were able to walk in and find a table. It was our first visit, and we were warmly greeted and seated in the main dining room. The waitress promptly arrived with menus and offered us drinks.

The food was excellent, with the exception of the tuna tartare, which lacked a strong tuna flavor and was overwhelmed by other ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the Ozumo Unagi and Shrimp Tempura rolls. The atmosphere was pleasant, and everything appeared clean and tidy.

Overall, we had a positive experience. While the nigiri and sashimi offerings seemed a bit overpriced compared to some other restaurants, they were still delicious. I would definitely return for the rolls.

Great experience overall besides the $10 water! Bring your own water or ask specifically for tap water (i thought “still water” was free)

Fish was creamy and fresh, and I especially liked the otoro and gindara (miso black cod). Food was served decently fast and well-timed.
