If you're looking for amazing and fresh sushi in South OC, you've found it! We are beyond lucky to have this place a quick drive away, especially with the hot summer coming up. They're not stingy with their fish portion or try to fill you up with rice. The staff is super attentive without unnecessarily hovering over your meal. Donny is my absolute favorite sushi chef, although honestly every chef is phenomenal. Sit at the sushi bar for the best interactions with them. They also have a BOGO $1 special for beer and sake to pair with dinner. read more

The sushi is below average. The quality of the rice is poor. The yakisoba was ok, but it was too sweet.

Been here at least a dozen times, however The restaurant is dirty on the none sushi bar side. Seems like no one cleans the place. It was freezing in the restaurant. Sushi is hit or miss. Part of tuna sushi was frozen. No personality with the service. read more

It was confusing from the Ozen sushi at Buena Park. The Buena Park is "all you can eat" however, this location isn't AYCE. For appetizer, I ordered calamari tempura which wasn't looked like a real calamari that I ate before. (2 out of 10). I ordered a sushi roll which had too much fake crab legs. It had shrimp inside and salmon outside (looked like salmon). The taste was ok (4 out of 10). I didn't like the atmosphere and decoration. They sat me next to the front door while they had other empty seats in the back. Their door didn't function properly and was open all the time and the cold wind was bothersome. Overall, I won't go back there. read more

This place is always a 5 for me! My favorite rolls are the yellowtail special, no kiss, baked ono, and the hot night. Cute local place with great service! My top choice for sushi any day. read more

Love this place and always a great time and service !! Get he Maui roll if you have a chance .. I can't say enough about this place

Food safety should be the first concern for a restaurant owner or manager. IF it happens one would expect an apologetic nature, perhaps a voucher for a free meal to redeem yourself...Not here, if you get sick from your food and complain about it they treat you like the bad guy and BAN YOU. It's like they don't know about the internets, this new fandangle source for telling others about their exceptional (or horrible) experiences. Well I'd like to welcome Ozen Sushi to the internets! behold while you're business tanks and goes belly up because you serve unsafe food then punish people for saying something about it. I for one am looking forward to the new restaurant that will take over this location when their mediocre food and rude service shutters their doors. Good riddance. read more

"When you are fooling around, you need to tip". This is what the hostess said to my 15 YEAR OLD sister for doing homework while waiting for her food. First of all I am writing this review for my sister as she is a minor. The service was TERRIBLE. She went in yesterday to eat with her friend. While waiting for her food, they decided to do a little homework. My sister and her friend noticed both the kitchen staff and waitress kept staring at them for some reason and made them extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. Then, when they received their food my sisters ramen was bland and the texture was straight up cup of noodles and not even hot. IF you are going to treat kids who are studying while waiting for their food as rude customers and then DEMAND a tip. You can keep your subpar ramen and your incompetent attitude. We won't be buying from this establishment again. 3.8 stars review well deserved. read more

We came to watch a movie in the center and wanted to grab dinner first. I'm glad we stopped here because they have a great variety of specialty rolls to order. The prices are very reasonable as well. I tried the yellowtail specialty roll and the flavors were on point! I've been looking for a unique specialty roll that isn't just imitation crab meat or tempura base. This roll was fresh and flavorful. read more

Like the portions without loss of quality. A solid spot for dinner. Tried the Udon Combo and Bento (Chicken Teriyaki), far too much food and a decent value. read more

Definitely not a good sushi spot if you are looking for freshness! Someone mentioned down below that they had a cockroach fried into their shrimp tempura I wish I would have read the reviews before I went in. This place needs to get inspected and put more effort into their food and cleanliness. read more

In search of a snack/appetizer, we decided to come here as our initial restaurant choice had not opened yet and all of the nearby fast-food places were poorly rated. We enjoyed the complimentary (and appreciatively hot) miso soup as well as our orders of: hot tea, (1) Mixed Tempura (shrimp and vegetables), and (2) White Fish Tempura Service was only OK -- surprisingly not very friendly, smiley, or attentive (no offers to refill water or tea). Had I had a bigger appetite, I would have been eager to try other menu items. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem! My family of 4 plus gramps came from the east coast and really liked what we got! Hubby and I got the lunch special- I think the lobster one and crunchy one? Both were super filling and a great value (see oexcept the hand roll was spicy like none other! Like haaaa haaaa I could only eat one bite spicy. It doesn't say it's spicey on the menu, so I felt a bit bummed that I could've had a better hand roll experience. The staff did go out of their way to fix a shrimp tempura roll for my otherwise allergic to fish son, so that was much appreciated! The actual restaurant is nothin glamorous but definitely worth going to for that sushi fix! read more

After trying a lot of sushi restaurants out I think this place has the best sushi ever. I think I have finally found my place for sushi's. I love that this place has excellent service and the meal is incredibly affordable. I can not wait to come back here again when I am back in the area with my friends or family. 10/10 I would recommend this place~ read more

My favorite sushi spot in town! Donny is great and prepares the best squid sushi. All their other sushi is always super fresh and delicious too. read more

This was my first time trying out the restaurant. I got my food to go but the service was prompt ND the food came out really quickly. I tried 3 different rolls. All were very fresh and tasty. They had lots of fish on top too. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more rolls. They have a huge selection! read more

Ok so shame on me for giving second chances to businesses. The last time that we ordered from here, the sushi was very mediocre at best and to top it off, all 4 of us got "sick", won't be too descriptive. My daughter almost instantly felt sick. Well, we had another craving tonight and we thought why not, maybe it was us....yeah I know, dumb move. Same as the last time, just like a pool guy (not to offend any pool guys), but in and out in less than 5 minutes :) I love my pool guy by the way. The staff is very bitchy and it's almost like they are doing you a favor by waiting on you. The chefs look unhappy as well. I think we are done with Ozen unless I need a deep cleanse :) read more

The rolls were amazing! We liked the unique choices with soy paper and lots of spice. We ate a bit early so it was like having the place all to ourselves. The staff was attentive and welcoming. We will be back! read more

Service is really bad! Asked for high chair, They said no. They did not have high chair!however, I found the high chair near restroom!

Stopped in on Saturday with a friend while in the area. Ample parking outside that has been designated for food court. Decided to give this place a try based off of previous reviews. Tempura Ordered a few rolls and tempura vegetables. My friend ordered a spicy tuna roll which she enjoyed. The service was average. Will definitely stop back in. read more

Consistently good quality and reasonably fast preparation. The price is excellent because the serving sizes are generous. I do a lot of takeout orders via phone call and they have always had the order ready by the time I show up to pick it up. Sometimes they are super busy and it takes little longer, and other times they get it done quickly. read more

Best sushi/noodle place in the area. I love their Salmon teriyaki Bento box. A must try if you are in the area

Disappointing food and service. They advertise that they offer happy hour for beer, sake and wine but when you get there they retract and say that it's only beer. Additionally they have lunch specials for $10 but then up charge for the weekends for sub par. The service was also very very rude. Will not be back and do NOT recommend this place. read more

Most delicious sushi of all time! So fresh and I love that I was able to customize my fresh roll, nothing crazy all I asked for was avocado . Also super quick service so I'll be coming back very soon read more

Very fresh fish, tasty and quick on the order. We'll be back and appreciate their service Tuna & avo was great, simple but delicious. read more

Rude and snippy for food that is sub par. If you need good sushi and good people, Ahi Ahi is real close. We've really only had the rolls here. So maybe something else is better. Never great experience with the girls that work here.... Even when you leave them a tip for to go food. read more

Absolutely love this place! It's become my regular sushi spot you gotta try the spicy edamame! It's so addicting! Also just tried the sushi burrito and it was BOMB.COM! So many choices and unique sushi rolls read more

Consistent place for sushi. Fish quality is good, service is good, and prices are fair. We go here very often, despite the bit of drive for us to get here. This is weird but I recommend the mussels. Damn saucy goodness. The place could use a bit of love. Look at the seats and ceilings and you will know what i mean. Luckily, we take out so it doesn't matter. read more

Ozen Sushi - Lunch Churashi Bowl 12.95 by DONI - Japanese Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

This is a small local gem located in the Foothill Ranch Food Festival in Lake Forest. This is a full service restaurant with a sushi bar, and they serve beer, wine and sake only. It was busy during a weekday lunch hour, with the restaurant almost full and also getting plenty of takeout orders. The menu is extensive and offers everything from traditional sashimi and sushi to a large assortment of fusion rolls. Tempura, noodles and grilled items are also available. Lunch bento boxes are from $7.95 to $9.95; lunch sushi combos run from $9.95 to $11.95. The prices are good as the portions are large. What we ordered: SALMON TERIYAKI AND TEMPURA LUNCH BENTO BOX ($8.95): It came with a large piece of salmon, tempura shrimp and veggies, 2 pieces of fried gyoza dumplings, salad, and rice. It's a good looking bento box (see picture) and a great value at Foothill Ranch which most of you know is an expensive area. The salmon was really good, without one bit of fishy taste which I cannot stand. The sauce was tasty and it's good that it's not too sweet. The salad came in an Asian vinaigrette dressing which was soy sauce based with a good touch of sesame and ginger flavors. The entire box was delish! RAINBOW ROLL ($9.50): This was a pretty generic fusion roll made with California rolls topped with an assortment of sashimi which included tuna, salmon, various white fishes, avocado and shrimp. It tasted fresh and was yummy! Service was adequate and ok but really not up to par with similar Japanese restaurants. But I have to say that's understandable as we were there during the peak time of lunch hour and they were a bit overwhelmed, especially by the takeout orders. Overall, good food and great value. We'll be back soon to try their other bento boxes and their large varieties of fusion rolls. read more

We had some sashimi from Ozen at a friend's party and it was great, so we decided to give the restaurant a try. We previously wrote it off because of its location - in a food court next to a movie theatre. But this restaurant is proof you should not judge a book by its cover. Overall, the rolls and sashimi are good, and decently sized. The "sashimi combo" has enough fish for two to three people to enjoy. Plus they always have coupons available, so you can get a discount pretty easily. The sushi chefs are friendly and receptive to requests. Although things can be a bit inconsistent, Ozen is reliably tasty and a welcome addition to our stable of regularly visited restaurants. We've been looking for another decent sushi place in Foothill Ranch for a couple years now. What a fortunate discovery. read more

Great deal with large portions for lunch. Also really like how they cook the chicken so that it's cooked well. Awesome taste as well.

Nice place with fresh sushi and a local vibe. Service is decent !! Staff is friendly and accommodating !!

The highest quality of salmon I have come across here in OC. Why is this place so good? 1) high quality fish 2) decently priced - great happy hour 3) amazing customer service I keep coming back to this place weekly. The chefs are amazing and the customer service is always on point! My go to during happy hour 6 pm starts _ salmon, yellowtail _ bakes salmon roll - add in cream cheese _ double double roll _spider hand roll _oyster shot _ toro - sea urchin All rolls are good. Haven't had one I didn't like read more
