    $5 tea bag- about sums up this restaurant with overpriced... nothing
    Kelley K.

    I really wanted to like this place. I tried it twice before reviewing it, and it fell flat on almost every level. First, the service is cold. The staff is attentive (there is not enough business to be busy and inattentive) but chilly, hurrying the customer from ordering to leaving. They make no effort to make the experience pleasant. Second, be warned: they are ridiculous with substitutions and do not seem competent enough to accommodate customer taste requests. I took my picky-eater kiddo for this ramen lunch and ordered only the broth and noodles. The waiter said I had to order a full ramen per the menu because they could not do the selected broth and noodles, but I could order the ramen dish and remove all the ingredients......if that sounds dumb to you, I agree. I did as instructed, ordered the $20 dish, and removed the eight ingredients listed. Keep this in mind for the next part. I then ordered my dish, removing one ingredient, and requested radishes instead of seaweed salad. I was told I would have an extra charge for ANY substitutions. Still, there was no deduction or money saved for omitting ingredients; there is improvement to be made here with some, dare I say, common sense for like items. This restaurant would be a nightmare for anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies. So now we're at the price. For broth and noodles, I paid $25 after tax and a portion of the tip; it would have been $8-10 at any other ramen place. My food was fine at the 3-star level. Still, you're paying premium rates that rival high-end restaurants, HOWEVER, without high-end service or experience. As a simple example, I had the hot green tea for $5, and guess what, friends, it's not traditional green tea. It's hot water in a $.10 teabag, which sums up this restaurant, a place that pretends to be high-end, but is not. The restaurant looks great, although it smells like a dirty mop, and is in a prime location. Still, nothing about it justifies a stop in--I've had far more reasonable menu accommodations at McDonald's, better ramen at food trucks for half the price, and twice the hospitality anywhere else. Given their location, they are sure to continue with foot traffic business. Still, they likely will not have repeat customers for the reasons I listed. I don't recommend this location, but I recommend that owners commission a "secret shopper" restaurant equivalent for an on-the-ground review of their business.

    Idk where to begin. from the very beginning when you walk in there is an overwhelming and unappetizing smell of sewage. I should have left from there but I thought I'd give it a chance. My husband's ramen was not it. We returned it bc the egg was cold, the noodles were not fully cooked and meat was overcooked. My sushi was okay but it didn't have a full layer of rice around it and was falling apart with each bite. The ambiance has potential but it doesn't feel clean. Especially with the smell. The servers were very sweet and they are aware of the issues in the kitchen. Apparently the chef doesn't take criticism very well. He was going to make us pay half for the ramen "bc he ate some of it". Once he saw us talking to the server, he yelled from the kitchen to remove it from the bill. I honestly felt bad for the servers bc they probably deal with this all day. I left them a large tip for being so kind. This place could really survive if they tried but sounds like the chef doesn't want to. Especially with the location in Southlake I don't think it will last very long. Too bad bc it's a perfect location for Asian cuisine!

    I was craving ramen on a cold day and there are not a lot of ramen options near Southlake. I tried Ozeki and would return there. The lunch special that comes with your choice of a California or spicy tuna roll is a good option. There was a $3 upcharge for wavy noodles, so it's a pricy lunch. The broth itself was fine, very simple. I received 5 star service.

    Matcha Mont Blanc was good!!!! Must try. But Be aware, their "Shrimp Tempura" is NOT TEMPURA. It is deep fried shrimp with panko like the korokke. The sushi was decent and not too pricey. The staff is very friendly and professional.

    Garlic ramen
    Andrea G.

    Trash, unless you like getting upcharged for basic necessities to enjoy a meal. Chicken ramen is 18$, so is pork ramen, but to sub one for the other it's 3$. They don't have spicy ramen, but chili paste would cost 2$ extra. Also, they only put one sliver of meat in your ramen that contains a lingering after taste. Crazy.

    We love this spot! Solid 5 stars. Outstanding servers/employees work here! Everything we have ordered here has always been delicious and they only use the freshest, quality ingredients. We have lived in Southlake for just a few months and have been here at least 5 or 6 times. Portions are perfect and their prices are on par with other local spots or less. The hot meals we have had are the chicken teriyaki, Bulgogi, gyoza and and spicy garlic edamame... My husband loves their ramen! The fish is the star at Ozeki and I recommend the Ahi tower and the Yellowtail Heaven both are EXCELLENT! Cucumber salad and the poke are both great too! We always get the same rolls and enjoy them.....their Porche roll and the Spicy tuna roll. They have outside seating when the weather is nice and they allow dogs on the patio - bonus. Great sake (hot and cold) as well as a nice beer and wine selection. Shout out to the waitstaff at Ozeki. Thank you for all you do! Servers play an important role in guest satisfaction and its so refreshing to visit a restaurant with excellent service!!! So nice how you have created rapport with your customers:)

    Just take nothing People here really need to go to Japan...
    Pablo B.

    Eel was disgusting. There is no way Koreans cook authentic Japanese food. Karaage chicken was just fried chicken with no taste. As a person from Japan, any food they make is not acceptable.

I went the day before Thanksgiving and the japanese chef was a one man show. He was the only one running the establishment because everyone else had left to go to Japan for the holiday. He is so so so so nice. I don't go back to restaurants very often but this place has my heart. This time I got the spicy pork ramen (17), spicy garlic chicken ramen (18), and then got the spicy garlic pork ramen (19) togo. I will say it is a little bit salty, with the garlic ones being more salty than the non garlic ones. However the garlic ones do have more flavor. There's not that much meat/protein either just one piece of meat and an egg. The could be slightly better but it's still good. It also just has bamboo shoots but nothing else. A very simple bowl. Ambiance is nice, it feels upscale but also homey at the same time. They have an open kitchen concept which I like.

I had to dig for it. I know they probably put the meat at the bottom so it'll warm up with the broth, but I prefer it at the top. The egg was whole and cooked so it was a little runny inside, which I liked. I also liked the noodles. Unrelated to the food, I sat on the bench and there was a customer sitting on the bench beside me. She kept shifting around and causing the entire bench to move, which I didn't like.

However, the past two times we shared this place with another couple who loves sushi just as much as my husband and I do. One reason we kept coming back, aside from all the delicious food, was how they labeled their menu with the top food allergens. As a food allergy mom, I appreciated this so much! Especially when I was still breastfeeding, I had to eliminate all of my daughter's allergies to breastfeed safely. The main ones I had to look out for was gluten, dairy, egg, nuts, and sesame seeds. The safe was aware of my limitations and shared empathy, not annoyance like other places. T Thankfully I'm out of that stage so I can eat anything on the menu now. We would like to take our daughter here some day, she loves sushi a lot! But being only 5 years old, we'll need to save it for a special occasion. We get carried away when we come here. The food here is top notch and worth every penny, so we'll have to save up. Cooked dishes we always order: Brussel sprouts, steamed mushrooms, hamachi collar and miso cod. All the nigiri/sushi is fresh and you can't ignore the specials or seasonal menu!

Having lived in Hawaii, we ate sushi, sashimi, and poke on a regular basis. Finding spots like this allows us to create new memories while also feeling a bit nostalgic for the flavors we love. We might have gone a little overboard, but everything was incredible! We ordered the Crunchy Eel Roll, Hamachi Nigiri, and Tuna Nigiri, along with two of the EBESU Course menus. My husband had the Chirashi Don and I went with the Toro Tekka Don. Love, love, love. As you can see, it was a lot of food, but every single piece was cooked and cut to perfection. The dishes are very easy to share, and I think next time we'll lean into that more so we can sample even more of the menu. If you are looking for authentic, high-quality Japanese food, this is the place to go!

We placed our order, and the karaage salad arrived first within about 10 minutes. Sadly, the ramen came out almost 30 minutes later and wasn't plated cleanly. There was broth all over the edge of the bowl, and I even think the server's finger was in the broth when she dropped it off. Additionally, the ramen was missing the egg, and the noodles were overcooked. One of the waitstaff seemed to be the only one actually working, as he was helping about 95% of the customers in the restaurant. Overall, I highly doubt I will be returning to this location anytime soon.
