It's a the food court in Foothill Ranch, but it's surprisingly good. They have both indoor and outdoor seating so it's great for any size group. They have lunch and daily specials so it is affordable as well as good. I love that they have various Japanese dishes besides sushi such as udon. They're always very fast and friendly so you can get in and out quickly. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for about a year now, and it's one of my favorite places because it's close to my house and always consistent. On weekends, they have live music on the outdoor patio, which makes the atmosphere really nice and relaxing. The food is very good and they have a great variety - not only sushi. My favorite dish is the teriyaki chicken combo. The prices are decent and the service is always great. read more

Ozen Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

First time coming here and it was pretty good. I like how they have lunch bento box specials ranging from $12.50 to $14.50 (sashimi version). Bento box lunch comes with your choice of California roll or tempura. Quite tasty. I got the sashimi bento box with California roll and I had so much leftovers large amount of food for a good price. Service was OK as I had to ask a few times to refill the same hot tea. Overall will be back here again soon. read more

Good bang for your buck. Of all the spots at Foothill Town Center... this one seems to be getting the most foot traffic. They have daily specials and combos that are unbelievably cheap. The dinner bentos range from $16-18, we normally get the pork cutlet and the beef teriyaki. Comes with your choice of California roll (8 pcs) or tempura. Salad, rice, miso soup, & 2 pcs of gyoza. For apps, we like the cucumber salad, edamame, & the baked mussels. They also have sushi combos for $14-20. We usually get the CA roll + crunch roll + spicy tuna hand roll combo. Great service. One of our go to date night spots. read more

My mom and I grab sushi from here a couple times a month. The food is fresh and the service is quick. I wish they had a location in Mission Viejo closer to me. read more

My ultimate favorite sushi spot ever! I love how close it is and it feels like such a neighborhood spot. Their fish quality is excellent and their rolls are made perfectly every time. The chefs are very nice and they let us try different menu items when we sit at the bar. All the waiters are very accommodating and attentive. My family and I come here at least once a week. It's such a treat to be able to get such good sushi conveniently. read more

Best in town, hands down. The vibe is great, and it's especially fun if you're having a few drinks.

Amazing service, and great bento boxes. Sushi is great. They have a large variety and satisfying portions.

The sushi was pretty good! I wouldn't get the ramen again. Honestly instant Jin or Shin ramen are better and more affordable. The ramen had little flavor and the veggies in it were fine. The service was a bit strange. The 2 people working seemed very nice, but after serving the food we were left alone. All we wanted was the check to leave, but we couldn't get their attention. They were off doing other things. We were the only table too? No big complaints though! would come again for the sushi. read more

Ozen Sushi - Oxen Flower Roll, Plain Ramen (Spicy) - Japanese Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

This Japanese sushi restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The quality of the fish is truly exceptional--remarkably fresh, clean, and expertly cut. Each piece of sushi showcases the natural flavor of the seafood, with perfectly seasoned rice that balances texture, temperature, and taste. The chef's attention to detail is evident in every bite. From classic nigiri to beautifully crafted specialty rolls, everything is prepared with precision and respect for traditional Japanese technique. The balance of flavors is refined and elegant, never overwhelming, allowing the ingredients to shine. Service is warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, adding to the overall sense of care and hospitality. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for both special occasions and relaxed meals. This is the kind of sushi restaurant that reminds you why Japanese cuisine is so revered--simple, pure, and executed at the highest level. Easily one of the best sushi experiences I've had. Highly recommended. read more

I was on a work trip and was looking for something to eat for lunch. I found this sushi place on yelp. When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by staff who found me a seat immediately. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I ordered the gyoza and the dragon roll. The gyoza was cooked to perfection and the filling was delicious. The sauce that came with it was the perfect combination with the gyoza. The star of the show was the dragon roll. The sushi was rolled perfectly and the meat, cucumber, avocado and the eel sauce were phenomenal. The portion size was great and you get a lot of food for a reasonable price. The ginger and the soy sauce went great with the sushi. The ambiance is customer friendly. A great place to go for sushi and the menu had some other great options if sushi is not a favorite. read more

We love Ozen! Very laid back and clean establishment. Cucumber and spicy octopus salad is a must! Really delicious side salads. The Ozen Flower and Cucumber Special are my favorites! Sushi and sashimi always tastes fresh. The owner Paul is very friendly and always makes us feel welcomed. Must try spot if you're ever in the area! read more

Ozen never fails to satisfy ny sushi cravings. The staff is friendly, it is a kids friendly restaurant and food is always fresh and yummy. Very affordable too. read more

Our first time here was a very pleasant surprise! Service was excellent; so attentive and sweet. We never wanted for anything! The ambiance is no frills, but what do you want for a food court type setup? The menu is large but felt like it leaned a lot on fried/tempura battered items. My daughter really enjoyed her udon noodles, which came in a gigantic serving, and I thought my dragon roll tasted fresh and very well made. My husband got a sushi dinner and was blown away by the generous portions of fish, especially the salmon. It looked gorgeous. The pieces were huge and very well made. All in all, this is an affordable and laidback place to catch lunch or dinner, and we'd happily come back. read more

In a plaza/ food court with plenty of parking. I decided to have japanese food since they had a lunch special for bento boxes for reasonable prices. I ordered salmon with CA rolls. The food was packaged to-go. Salmon was a little overcooked for my taste, it was average. It was a decent meal. read more

This location of Ozen Sushi is part of the Food Festival Food Court in Foothill Ranch. They offer indoor seating and there is also plenty of patio seating outside in the food court. Not being a sushi lover nor liking seafood in general I agreed to eat here with a sushi-loving friend once I saw a handful of teriyaki offerings. I ordered the beef teriyaki bento which, along with pieces of beef, included rice, salad, 2 gyoza, and tempura veggies & shrimp. Yeah, my friend grabbed the shrimp. The bento came with a delicious miso soup. It was a lot of food for the price, a good deal, but the food was average. The beef pieces were a mix of textures, some tender some a bit chewy. The rice and salad were fine. I thought the tempura veggies were excellent while the gyoza were simply "okay". I ordered an Arnold Palmer to drink. Not sure if it was the lemonade or iced tea but something tasted weird. Avoid this beverage here. It was a decent meal at a good price for what you'd expect at a food court. read more

Completely sub par in every way. Couldn't even finish the sushi dinner combo because all of the fish was chewy and had no flavor. Rice was stale. At least the beer was cold. That is all I can offer that is positive. read more

5 star sushi! Personally I'm new to sushi and am delicate to raw seafood, but Ozen Sushi is a special place that makes me feel comfortable and very well taken care of. I highly recommend the Las Vegas Roll, but that's cooked and my preference. If you are looking for fresh, beautiful presentations and top notch service and food, Ozen Sushi is it. And they are so fast to bring out your food! Ozen Sushi is located in the Food Festival "food court" but believe me, this will be your only stop to eat. This place definitely brings a touch of elegant eating to semi outdoor eateries. Thank you Ozen Sushi for always providing the freshest seafood, and the kind and thoughtful customer service you always provide to me and my family. read more

Worst bento box and worst service ever. This was my second time hoping that maybe I just had a meal on an off day for the restaurant but this was the second try. They failed my order and the quality of the food was disgustingly fried steak in a gross or expired oil. It was super bad and the so called salad was just green lettuce not a salad with sauce on top. Everything and I mean everything was gross. The waitress said everything ok? And she saw almost all the food on the plate and I let her know the food was bad and she took away the plates and brought the receipt with the full bill. Worst waitresses on both occasions. Will never ever go back here!! read more

Don't come here! Bad service! They denied service 1hour before closing! Front of the house was rude!

This was our first time trying Ozen! It wasn't too busy when we went in around 6pm on a Saturday, but it did start to fill out around 7ish, so make reservations accordingly :) We had to start our meal off with some sushi before we got into the rolls, and were pleasantly surprised by the thick cuts of fish. The portions were very generous! Food came out quickly and staff was very attentive and kind. We will be back! read more

The food was ok but the server was very unfriendly. No smile at all, in fact very rude like she's in bad mood (the tall lady) and they weren't even busy. I ordered two miso soup with extra tofu, some restaurant charge extra some don't, but they would add the extra tofu as I requested. And all I see was 4 tiny bits in both the miso soup I ordered. There's just nothing for me to come back again. read more

This Sushi restaurant became the my favorite place. Sake Chefs are super friendly, fast and it goes to same for well experienced waitresses ( they've been there for last 10+ years) never missed my orders even though busy hours. I meant never and ever. To be honest, you'll fell in love with the guy who looks like Jackie Chan. : ) Don't worry. When you see the guy, you can tell who I'm talking about. He is loud and funny. Fortunately, he is the owner of this restaurant and has a personality to make anyone to smile. Maybe it doesn't matter to someone, but it's important to me. I want to enjoy my food and drink where I'm most comfortable. And Of course, foods are fresh and they have a variety for sushi, sashimi and sake that runs the garment. Trust me, you must try and you won't regret. read more

Ozen Sushi used to be good but when I brought my family and the place was empty I understood why, they have gone downhill. Don't bother ordering any type of roll off the menu, the chefs make whatever they want. It was horrible, the menu didn't list lemon chunks, yet there were lemon chunks all over, among other things. Waitress was curt with us and we didn't complain or ask for anything extra, and only one other party walked in after us. Maybe they were having an off day??? read more

My husband and I have come to Ozen Sushi for over 15 years. The owner Paul is always nice and welcoming to us and the staff is amazing. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. Their pricing is very fair with the outstanding service and quality. They still offer happy hour buy one beer or hot sake get the second one for $2. I highly recommend anyone that's in the local area to come and support this restaurant. You will enjoy every bite and come back for more! read more

Good combo specials. Baked green mussels were good. They didn't have the fresh oysters and didn't have them last time either. They should take them off menu, if they are not going to have them available. It's the start of weekend. Service ok. Nothing special. read more

I have never written a review on Yelp before, but my recent experience at Ozen Sushi in Lake Forest was the worst I've ever had, so I feel compelled to share it. I couldn't agree more with the other reviews regarding the customer service. The young waitress who attended our table was extremely rude. When I asked her to clarify something on the menu, she seemed "pissed" that I needed clarification. Providing that kind of assistance is part of her job. If she is so unhappy to be there, she should consider working elsewhere. What I don't understand is why the staff was so unfriendly when we came in with a positive attitude and tried to be nice despite their initial rudeness. If you're in customer service, you should be prepared to provide a good experience. My friend treated me to dinner, and I wished she hadn't left a tip at all. A tip is not an obligation; it's given for good to great service. As for the food, it wasn't impressive either. We would have been better off at In-N-Out--cheaper, tastier food, and great service! I also noticed that even the chefs behind the counter seemed depressed. There were no smiles or "thank yous," unlike the other Japanese restaurants I've been to. We only dined here on Saturday because we had already sat down and placed our order. If you're curious about their mediocre food and customer service, you can "discover" it for yourself. read more

Onion rings (onion tempura)! I really like their yellow-tail roll and spicy crunchy roll. But most of all, I like their onion tempura. I'm big on any kind of onion rings, and I find O-zen's onion tempura to be the best. It has great onion-to-batter ratio with thick slices of onion, and it's always fried to perfection. I also like the miso soup. To Ozen-sushi, I think if you add "Onion Rings" to your menu, it might sell well, especially with the football season approaching. read more

Ordered sushi to go from here because I had always seen this spot on yelp. I ordered a rainbow roll, different types of nigiri, California, crunch roll and avocado roll. The fish did not taste fresh at all. Probably one of the worst sushi I've had :/ my nigiri also came messy as if they just threw it in the box. The rice was not under the fish. Super disappointed with this sushi spot. Would not recommend it read more
