Absolutely in love with this place! My Yelp friend Erica G. brought me here and introduced me to a dessert I have never heard of or tried. Bingsu! A Korean shaved ice dessert that I'm obsessed with now. We ordered the strawberry (reg size) and it was a very nice portion. It looked like it would be too much, but it was perfect for two. I honestly didn't think we would finish it, but we did! I couldn't stop eating it. The texture makes it feel like you're eating a cake like dessert, but it's shaved ice. I think it might of had red bean too, but not sure. This place is very clean, and minimalistic. They also offer soft serve fish cones that you can customize. For bevvies, it's shakes, iced energy drinks and hot drinks like sweet corn, hot chocolate, chai and lattes. Overall, I'm so glad I got to try something different. I can't wait to come back! read more

I finally had the opportunity to try GOM Snow Desserts! It is located at the Collection next to Boba Time and European Wax Center. I think this used to the closed location of Devil Angel Desserts. The Korean Bingsu is what draws me here, especially because it's not like Hawaiian-style shaved ice. According to Google, Bingsu is made with a base of milk or milk-based liquid, not just water. This dairy base gives the shaved ice a creamy, less icy texture. I ordered the matcha bingsu ($13.50 for a size small), which comes with the shaved snow, matcha poweder, sweet red beans, mochi, sliced almonds and a cup of condensed milk. There's a brown bear face on a pick that sits on top of the bingsu. My husband ordered the fish cone in a cup ($8.50) in vanilla flavor with the nutella filling and oreo topping. Upon ordering, you're asked if you're dining in or taking it to-go so we opted for dining in. You received a beeper and go up to the counter for pick up. I really enjoyed my bingsu. The size small is shareable and I couldn't finish it all. I was hoping the shaved snow would be made of matcha or more matcha but it was good enough haha. It gets really busy and popular here so seating is kinda limited. There's water all the way in the back if you get thirsty. I would like to come back here for a sweet treat and love knowing they have the shaved snow bingsu here :) read more

I cannot believe I had not been here sooner! The perfect dessert stop for any sweets lover! I had never tried Bingsu and wow oh wow! It simply melts in your mouth. Bingsu is Korean shaved ice and if you have had Mexican shaved ice it is a much softer and richer flavor! There is no other way to describe it than melts in your mouth. I tried the horchata flavored bingsu and it was the perfect cinnamony flavor. They added cinnamon toast crunch on top and vanilla bean ice cream! As a side sauce they pair it with lechera so this was the great mix for my Mexican self! A must try I will say it did not taste like horchata at all but it is just as delicious and creamy. I also had an oreo taiyaki which is all homemade! You can also customize it to your liking but the oreo and nutella was the combination for me! The place inside is the vibe you imagine very bright and nice ambiance. read more

Need a key to use the restroom. Deserts are great although we only had mango Bingsu and oreo island creation and some hot fish. The small serving is shareable which is good because I didn't expect it for the price of 13.50. Staff (3 people) are just talking to each other though, but in a okay way for the most part. Overall it's a great place to get some sweets and chill. read more

What a fun and delicious visit to GOM Snow Desserts! I was visiting Oxnard for work and did a quick search about some hot and new businesses in the area and saw that there is new bingsu place in town. I loved shaved ice and was excited to see what they had to offer. So I made sure I stopped in one of the days. I saw that was supposed to rain so I decided to come in on a day that wasn't too late in the day but also Where I could try some amazing food. I end up getting parking by the movie theater and then walking over and I knew it was located right by Boba Time. There were a couple of families in front of me so I was able to make my decision and luckily there was one table way in the back that's still open so I was able to get my shaved ice to dine in. They were so busy that did take a little bit of time but luckily I had my headphones so I can listen to a podcast to kill some time. My pager went off and I was able to get my order. I went with the mango bingsu and it was amazing. It also came with a small container of condensed milk in a bear shaped container. What a great dessert and I want try some of the menu items next time. A lot of stuff looked amazing so I will have to make sure I stop in the next time I am in town. read more

As an Oxnard native ... I love all things Oxnard and believe it is a city that has so much to do and taste! I am a bit bias when I say ... it is my favorite city in VC with all the vibes ;) We are however in need of more diverse cuisines and spots... it's happening though. It is HAPPENING! So happy we now have GOM! I first had bingsu ( Korean) when I visited my sister in Sacramento and was waiting "patiently" until it got to Oxnard. There's a spot in Ventura I have been going to for years but so nice to have this place 5 mins from me ! I have been stalking this storefront for a few months. Started this Yelp page and when it finally opened, I was there! I got the Strawberry Cheesecake bingsu . It was good. I think I'd prefer the plain Strawberry or Mango more though! There are other opinions but I prefer the fresh fruity ones :) This bingsu comes topped with ice cream which is diff than the other bingsu spots in VC. To be clear, it's NOT the first place to offer bingsu in VC , we have a few. Same with tayaki. This spot is the sister spot to Coastal Cone in Ventura . Which is a local favorite. Cute interior. Clean! They don't just offer bingsu. They have soft serve with ice cream cones or taiyaki, shakes , energy drinks and so much more! Locally and Family owned. Highly rec! Oh oh Pro-Tip - if you want your bingsu to be served in a "real" bowl ask for one . I did. I went opening week and it was not an issue :) read more

First time trying this place. Didnt disappoint everything tasted just like Coastal Cone their sister location. We tried the oreo sundae and custom fish with nutella-yaki, ubechata soft serve and oreo crumbs. Everything was super sweet and melted pretty quickly. I wish they put the icecream in a bigger cup so nothing would be dripping out. If we ever come back, we'd try the bingsu shaved ice next. read more

It's great to see more Asian stores opening around the Oxnard area. GOM is a wonderful place to satisfy your bingsu/taiyaki needs without having to go all the way to LA! This place is located inside the collection. They have ample seating inside to enjoy your dessert fresh. Menu wise, they have so many different dessert choices and flavors. We got the mango bingsu. We really enjoyed it. The mango was not as sour as we thought it was going to be. It was actually the perfect pairing with the sweetness from the condense milk and ice cream. I love how they give you a little bear that has condensed milk inside of it. The only thing about the bingsu was that the shaved ice wasn't as fine as other bingsu places I've been to, but it definitely satisfied my cravings. I'll be back to try other desserts like the taiyaki and ice cream! read more

Bingsu without going all the way to Koreatown, that's what I'm talking about. The milky shave ice was so soft and refreshing. The bites of mango added a nice fruity to balance out the creamy ice. I'm not a big sweets person so even the smaller version is a perfect portion. The aesthetics and taste are a nice addition to the 805, and brings another fun element to the Collection read more

Growing up in the 90's and early 2000's here in the 805 you would have to drive to LA for something like this. I'm glad there are more Asian inspired places finally coming to the area. I don't know what this was called but it was amazing and I'll be picking it up every time I'm in the area. There's also a bunch of other things on the menu that I want to try. The service was extremely nice and the ambiance reminds me of all the Asian dessert places in the 626. read more

Super cute new dessert spot in the Collection with tons of little bear decor everywhere. I loved how they had tons of different options for desserts, ranging from taiyaki to bingsu to soft serve. They have a decent number of tables to sit at, but this place probably isn't the best if you're coming with a big group and want to sit inside. - Strawberry Bingsu: shaved ice or milk(?) was the bed of the dessert, which was topped with strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This wasn't my favorite, as I found the bingsu to be a little lacking in flavor, but I loved the little bear that they included at the top! - Dole whip: a DELICIOUS classic! Loved how cute the container was and how creamy the soft serve was. Would definitely come back for this. Prices were a little on the steep side, but I enjoyed my experience nonetheless. read more

Fish was yummy and crunchy; mine was filled with Nutella. Ube was also delicious and creamy. Price was a bit high; Somi somi sells the same but much cheaper. Unfortunately, we don't have somi somi in Oxnard, so this will do. Service was easy and quick. Ambiance, cute place but not much space inside during the night because everyone is there; it gets busy. I'd come back here again for some sweet treats. I want to try their bingsu next. read more

The ambience is calm, clean, and quietly inviting--like Oxnard's own little pocket of Japan. The service? Warm, attentive, and wonderfully efficient. You know what truly makes this place? The authentic food. Every dish feels crafted with care. I love being able to sit down with a steaming cup of hot green tea, the most delicious tempura, a spicy tuna hand roll that never misses, and a bright, refreshing seaweed salad--without having to wait forever for seating or service. If you're starving, this is where you want to land for fast, delicious comfort. And the star of the show: the chicken bowl. I promise you will not find a chicken bowl this good anywhere else. Tender, flavorful, and so satisfying it deserves its own fan club. The tempura? Feathery, crisp perfection--easily the best in Ventura County. No exaggeration needed. Their miso is a warm winter hug, and the combo with the chicken bowl + rice + a large bowl of udon is the definition of cozy luxury. The broth is rich, the noodles are plush and filling, and you'll leave full with leftovers to smile at later. If you want authentic Japanese comfort, fast service, and food that feels like it was made just for you, Ozeki Noodle is your new cold-weather sanctuary.

~ SMALL SPACE, BIG FLAVOR, A HIDDEN GEM ~…read more Gotetsu is one of those blink and you'll miss it spots, but once you're inside, you know you've found something sooo special!! Cozy, intimate, and very much a hole in the wall izakaya, this place is all about authentic Japanese flavors and perfectly grilled skewers. There is NO sushi here (they make that very clear), just kushiyaki, small plates, and goooood vibes. I've never been to Japan (yet), but I would imagine this is what it would be like walking into a small mom and pop shop there. The open kitchen is tiny but fun to watch, and from pretty much any seat you can see your food being made. It's a GREAT date night spot, order a bunch of dishes and share everything so much fun. We came for dinner and with a rotating menu of skewers and specials we were satisfied and it kept things interesting! Lunch is more limited, with preset options, but the quality still hits. The donburi is solid, the chicken curry is comforting (could use a little more protein), and the skewers, especially pork belly, chicken & onion, and meatballs, are seasoned and grilled really well. Veggie skewers like zucchini and brussels sprouts are simple but still tasty. At dinner, my husband and I loved the spicy garlic edamame, chicken thigh with yuzu pepper, ribeye skewer, gyoza, and the yaki onigiri (grilled rice ball with a crispy outside). Pro move: dip the onigiri into the leftover spicy edamame sauce. Trust. Ordering is easy with scan-and-pay, the owner is hands-on, and you can feel the care put into every dish. Take it easy with the ordering (they are typically skewer by skewer because you can easily rack up a hefty bill!) If you're looking for an authentic Japanese izakaya experience in Ventura, focused on flavor, not trends, Gotetsu absolutely delivers.

I also really like the spicy tuna crispy rice appetizer. I keep telling myself that I will try one of their other bowls but I just love the ramen so much I haven't been able to stray. Service is pleasant, but if you want to dine in you have to go on non peak hours or expect a wait. The Annex just doesn't have enough seating. If it's a nice day you could just get it to go and find a bench outside.

The Garlic Truffle Ramen is absolutely out-of-control good. The broth is rich, savory, and…read moreperfectly balanced with bold garlic and earthy truffle flavor that isn't overpowering. The noodles have the perfect texture and soak up all that incredible flavor. It's the kind of bowl you crave long after you've finished it. Full honesty, the location itself isn't ideal. There's rarely enough room, and the seating arrangement is weak. If you plan to dine in, there has to be an open seat available before you can even order. You have to wait for space to open up first, and only then can you place your order and sit down. It can definitely be inconvenient. The prices are also on the higher side. I'd love to see some occasional specials or slight price adjustments to make it more accessible. That said, I keep coming back anyway. The Garlic Truffle Ramen is just that good. For me, it's worth working around the tight space every single time.

The ambiance is nice, and the customer service has always been friendly. We went on Valentine's Day, so it was understandably busy. The hostess seemed a bit stressed and quoted us a 1-1.5 hour wait encouraging us it's pretty late, but we were seated in about 20 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. The reason do 3 stars is that our soup bowls had dried food on the outside, which was a bit off-putting. Cleanliness is important, and that detail took away from the experience. Overall, we would still come back and give it another try.

I was initially a bit skeptical about dining here because I had heard both positive and negative…read morereviews, and the last thing I wanted was a disappointing experience on our wedding anniversary. Fortunately, our experience exceeded expectations. First, the service from our waiter, Mathew, was outstanding. He was attentive, professional, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. We started with the California sushi roll appetizer, which was excellent. For our entrées, I ordered the steak, and my wife chose the tri-tip baby back ribs. Both dishes were prepared perfectly, and we were extremely satisfied with our meals. Mathew also recommended a red Pinot Noir that paired wonderfully with dinner. His recommendation was spot on. To top off the evening, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary anniversary dessert, and it was absolutely amazing. The entire experience felt special, and everything came out perfectly. Overall, we had a fantastic anniversary dinner and would gladly return.

Thank you Larsen's Grill in Oxnard for saving our Christmas dinner! The restaurant we had…read morereservations for flooded due to the rain storm of the century and could not open. We called Larsen's and they had an open reservation at 7:30 PM. We were greeted with friendly faces, a joyful ambience in the restaurant and it was definitely Christmas. We had two dinners of lobster tail and one of the pork chop. This was a preset menu, which was very representative of their excellent food. The pork chop was probably the best pork chop we've ever had in our lives. It was prepared sous vide style and so tender, juicy and seasoned perfectly. The lobster tails were good size, broiled, but a little dry and not much flavor but the butter made them all better. We still enjoyed it and really were happy to be there. We tried 3 of the desserts. The maple bourbon crème brûlée, the butter cake and their house-made Keylime pie. There were three of us eating and we all tried these options. We had two thumbs up on the crème brûlée, one thumb up on the butter cake and no thumbs up on the Keylime pie. The Keylime pie was similar in our mind to a cheesecake (huge piece, super creamy but it's not what we were used to. The crème brûlée was delicious, but we didn't get much maple bourbon flavor. The butter cake tasted and felt like a cake doughnut, delicious but not what we expected. We also enjoyed the maple carrots side dish, it was fantastic! All in all the dinner was successful and again thank you Larsen's for serving us all on Christmas instead of you being home with your families. It is truly appreciated!!!

Really attentive sushi chefs that make my custom orders without a question. Staff are on the spot and arrive quickly and then step back out of your space. Very busy at lunch and even full most evenings to where you have to wait. All good signs for a restaurant.

Con: -unfortunately have to start with this. We found a METAL SHAVING in our yakisoba. It was pretty rigid and pretty big, as well. We ate quite a bit before we noticed it so nervous we could've possibly ate some smaller pieces. Thank god we noticed because I was serving myself onto my plate so I would've put it in my mouth if I didn't see it. -the soft shell crab was a pretty small crab/2-piece for the price and was very salty. Pro: -the sushi tostada was more portion than we expected it to be and pretty good. Fully loaded as well and a good flavor of fish and avocado with sauce. -the sushi pieces were pretty fresh tasting but wish they were alittle bigger. Despite the overall experience, we don't feel comfortable coming back knowing that this could occur or maybe stay away from anything that is made on the grill, stovetop.

No one was in the restaurant when we came in, just about an hour after opening, but as soon as we walked in we were welcomed and sat! We ordered the Garlic Edamame, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Baked Salmon Roll, Foursome Roll, and the Garlic Albacore Roll. Everything tasted amazing and fresh-- the only roll I wouldn't order again is the Garlic albacore roll, but that's one of the many fish we have yet to try and it doesn't seem like it's for us! Totally fine. The foursome roll was AMAZING because you get a side of tuna poke and it was perfect to put it on top of the roll itself and the crispy rice! All in all it was a great experience and for everything (add a soda and a green tea in there) it was $100 with a tip for the two of us! We even had food left over! I wish I could've snagged a picture but we were too excited to eat! We will definitely be back :)
