This Ozumo sushi restaurant has a cozy and relaxing ambiance, but their ramen and sushi are not good. We got to the restaurant on a Saturday at 1:00 pm and found plenty of tables available, so no reservations were necessary. read more

I am a fan of their SF location. Trendy, great food and drinks. I have been to their Oakland location as well which is unfortunately closed now. I was excited to bring some friends here after raving about how good it was going to be and it was a letdown, unfortunately. The crowd was trendy and it seemed to be popping which was initially encouraging. The acoustics was off in the restaurant and it was super loud and we could barely hear each other leave alone the waitress through her mask. Then the lady who was cleaning the table next to us sprayed the cleaning spray all over the back of one of the people in our party and her handbag. The cleaning lady apologized hastily and just went back to her task. Very disappointing. Perhaps that marred the rest of the experience. The sake bottle that we ordered did not live up to the price. The karage was dry and so was the roll that we ordered. There were a few items that were good...the crispy rice, salmon dish, and the A5 wagyu. Don't see myself coming back or recommending it. read more

The service was okay, our server seemed a little geeked, but he was chill. Respectful and friendly. The food....... Respectfully overpriced and best way I could describe bad sushi-- tasted like an amateur chef with no experience in the kitchen made it. I appreciate the staff for being kind, but I wouldn't come again. For the price that everything was, the food could have been a lot better. read more

Definitely a high-end restaurant, for people who are lenient on their spending. You're paying for the ambiance and aesthetic because overall, the food itself wasn't really outstanding. We had a party of 3 and our bill came out to around $180 and we weren't really full. Here's some menu highlights: Miso Soup: 3/5 Started off with some miso soup. I actually really liked this but I wish the bowl was bigger. Cost: $5/bowl. Giddy Geisha: 4/5 A cocktail made up of vodka, passionfruit, and lychee. It's on the sweet side and was pretty good. Cost: $14 Dragon Crunch Roll: 4/5 By far, my favorite item that we ordered! It's a tempura avocado roll topped with crab, tenkatsu flakes, and unagi sauce and it's really a delight! The only downside is that it's $24 and I've had rolls just like this at other sushi places for lower prices. Gyoza: 1/5 Was pretty disappointed with this one. I expected it to be crunchy/crispy, but it was soft and soaked in soy sauce. It was average at best and costs $12 for 5 pieces. Furikake Fries: 3/5 The fries were pretty average as well. There wasn't really any furikake, so it was pretty much just regular fries. The ketchup and spicy aioli sauces were pretty good. I liked the texture and taste of the fries and how they were crispy with just enough salt. This is a pretty solid appetizer and easy to share with others as well. Cost: $10 Just a Tip: Just a heads up that the servers will offer 2 types of water: Acqua Panna bottled water or tap water. The bottled water costs $8 per 24 oz. bottle and is meant to be shared among the table. Our party didn't know that we would be charged for the bottled water option, so we had to have our server switch to tap water later. The service was just okay. The restaurant was also surprisingly loud and it was hard to hear people talking to me over all the noise. I think that Ozumo is really nice aesthetically, but in my opinion I don't think that the high prices are justified in the quality of the food. read more

I came here to celebrate a birthday with a large group and although there is a nice big dining area with high ceilings, the space isn't used very well. Our group table was long, and for a group of 10, I couldn't really talk with people at the other end of the table. Also they play club level music so it's even harder to hear anything (I realize this makes me sound old). For a group my size, the servers seemed constantly confused with who ordered which drinks and dishes. This led to a loud of disruption. Food: I tried the chicken karage, which for several people was their favorite dish. There's skin is very crispy and the chicken is tender and juicy. I would order this again. The aka dragon roll is a skip for $20+ as it's somehow quite bland in spite of a pepper topped on each piece. The dragon crunch roll was tasty and had a lot of unagi sauce if you're a fan of this flavor. Overall basic rolls for what you're paying for. The ahi with food was tasty and a good portion to share. I would recommend the skewers as the chicken meatballs we got were very tasty with a nice smoky flavor from the charcoal. The drinks were tasty and although I was disappointed my first choice was not available, the Tokyo vice was a nice alternative (like a spicy margarita). The giddy geisha (paloma alternative) was sweet, a good option for people who want a cocktail but not too heavy on the alcohol. Overall this is a fun place for dinner but I would not go out of my way to visit again for a big group dinner. read more

Ozumo used to be one of my favorite sushi spots. My bf and I always eat here and we always order the same items everytime. The food here is usually good, but today I felt like the service/food did not meet my expectations. Our server was super friendly, but our food came out before utensils/plates and we had to ask the host. We also ordered hamachi belly, but when it came out it did not look anything like the belly. We asked the server if they messed up the order and she checked with the sushi chefs. She assured us that it was hamachi belly. When the check came out, it just said hamachi-yellowtail (different price point) and when we asked her, she said she put it as hamachi but she made sure to tell the chefs but hey at least it was cheaper so I'm not complaining. If that was the belly, it wasn't good. The gindara/salmon carpaccio was good as always, but I was disappointed in the portion size of the fish. Im extremely disappointed in the agedashi tofu and the salmon crispy rice. The tofu used to be my favorite, but they changed it to the vegan one and the broth did not taste right. Also..why charge $13 for 4 pieces of tofu?! As for the crispy rice, the rice was hard as a rock. I couldnt even dig my chopstick into it so I had to use my hand to eat it lol. I did not think 4 pieces is worth $18 especially for the ingredients they used it was nothing special. Also, for a higher end restaurant the restrooms were filthy. Two of the stalls don't even flush, 0 toilet paper, no paper towels and no soap..there was an empty bottle of soap left open and I had to squeeze out the last bit. My boyfriend told me that the guy's bathroom had no toilet paper as well. read more

Been here twice for happy hour and love the quality of food! Been here pregnant both times so wasn't able to try a lot of the good stuff but I've tried the fried shrimp and the dragon crunch! Both super delicious options! Still a little pricey for happy hour but you can definitely taste the quality. Drinks were okay - but would definitely come back for the sushi.

We came here on a Wednesday around 7pm without a reservation. They had no open tables but seated us at the bar right away. We liked the gindara (black cod) the best. It was tender and had a lot of flavor. The sushi was decent but definitely have had better at other places in the Bay Area. The server was attentive and friendly, and the dishes were plated pretty nicely. If I go back, I'd want to try more of their meat dishes and would probably skip any sushi. read more

Ozumo Santana Row blew me away with its incredible dining experience (as always!). From the moment we walked in, the lively and vibrant atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The new A5 infused Old Fashioned, skillfully crafted by their talented bartender, was an absolute game-changer. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on trying it! Chef Johnny and his team are true culinary wizards. The crispy rice appetizer (which I always order) is an absolute must-try that will leave you craving more. Each bite was a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The assortment of nigiris, recommended by our friendly server, showcased the exceptional quality of the fish. Every piece was a work of art, highlighting the freshness and skill behind it. This is a great date spot, place to meet friends, and even serves as a great business deal venue. read more

I had a date night with my daughter and she was craving miso soup. We weren't sure where we were going to go on a Friday evening with no reservations. Surprisingly, we walked in, and we're seated immediately at a high top right next to the open shutters. The people watching is AMAZING as this restaurant is right on the Santana Row 'strip'. If Santa Clara County had a Rodeo Drive, this would be it. You're going to see fancy cars with their even fancier owners, it's cute - in a funny kind of way. We ordered the miso soup, my daughter said she loved it, the crispy fried chicken (damn so good!), and the crispy rice with salmon (the salmon was too fishy for my liking but the crispy rice was really yummy! I would definitely recommend the food here! I also ordered the chicken teriyaki entree to go for my husband - he ate it all! Lastly, I must give a review to the female server/bartender who stepped in when our original server was busy. I wish I would have gotten her name but she was the cute Asian hustling around the entire time! Wow, this woman can work! She is productive, hardworking, and seems to know everyone! Maybe it's because it was a Friday night and other bartenders were enjoying food/drinks while she was working. They were all laughing and having a good time all while she was hustling around. I made a comment about how hard she was working when I ordered a second glass of wine and she said thank you for our patience. I said no worries it's a Friday night and we have no where to be! After that she came back with my wine, a HUGE glass that she said was in the house because of my kindness. Wow, this doesn't happen anymore so thank you, Wonder Woman! read more

My mom and I came in hungry from shopping and we liked our experience, but due to the portions and the price we would not come back again. Do not get me wrong, the salad was fresh. The tuna with avocado dish was the best part of our meal. We replicated the beef dish at home to enjoy. However, when it came to the size of the sashimi, we were disappointed with the size, the picture in this review was two pieces even tho it looks like only one. The sushi roll was not memorable and I kind of wanted to send it back. The customer service was okay. But with how much you're paying, this restaurant is not worth it. read more

I came here with friends for HH/dinner and had a good time. The atmosphere is modern and service was great. But the food was nothing special and prices too high to be justified. HAPPY HOUR - Salmon tartare (2/5) : a rip off Nobu's crispy rice with salmon. The rice was mushy and hard to swallow. I ended up eating the tartare plain, which was not that good. - Tuna tartare (5/5) : I loved this. The crispy taro chips went perfectly with the diced salmon. - Shrimp tempura (1/5) : really bad. The coating was thick, doughy, and mushy. And the dipping sauce was flavorless. Everything tempura should not be. - Chicken Karaage (5/5) : my favorite HH order. I would go back and order 3 of these. SUCH flavorful and delicious karaage with spicy mayo. - Gyoza (1/5) : huge pass. The filling was dry and unappetizing. MAIN MENU - Nigiri (3/5) : the rice was good, but the nigiri was nothing special. And for $12 a pop? Overpriced. - Salmon roll (5/5) : surprisingly, one of my favorite things. $12 for a simple and delicious roll. - Spicy tuna roll (5/5) : same as the salmon roll. The classics here are good! - Dragon roll (3/5) : nothing different than other dragon rolls I've had. And for $24? Pass! There are much better and authentic Japanese restaurants in the bay. If you are here, I would recommend select HH options and basic rolls. But other than that- I would eat elsewhere for better value and food. read more

Ok based on some of the other reviews I was a bit skeptical about trying this place cause you know I gotta trust my Yelp fam! However, my hanger took over and I decided to give him place a try. Ground rules: this is Santana Row so I'd just normally expect food to be overpriced. However, I also didn't think that the prices were unrealistic and unreasonably ridiculous compared to other sushi places. Now for food: Gyoza - 5/5 - this order was for my daughter and we ordered it as soon as we sat down because no one wants a hangry toddler. I also love how they have their house made gluten free low sodium soy sauce! Crispy rice with Salmon- 4/5 - delish salmon. It felt like butter and melted in my mouth. The crispy rice was a bit soggy for my liking. Classic Role Salmon Avocado - 5/5 - my deal is that if your basic rolls are not good then that's a no go for me. The salmon tasted delish and fresh and that is exactly what I was looking for. Honcho Roll - 5/5 this was absolutely delicious! The tempura was still crispy. Salmon was perfect and left us wanting more. Now why 4 star only? Because the portions were quite tiny for the price and while I'm willing to pay the price I also don't want to order 8 dishes to fill my belly. Overall great place and would recommend read more

Manager Marcus delivers and provided excellent customer service:-- the Sushi is amazing. Will be back soon!

3.5 stars but rounding up to 4. This place is good but there's nothing special about it that makes it stand out compared to other sushi spots. In my opinion, Ozumo is overpriced sushi simply just because it's at Santana Row. We were able to book a reservation for 8 people on an Saturday night about 24 hours in advance. The time slot wasn't ideal but that's what we get for doing it last minute. They have a small outdoor dining area with tents and lots of heaters so though it was cold out, the temperature was still manageable. HITOKUCHI(4/5): This is their crispy fried rice with salmon tartare and it was delicious! The portion isn't much as it only comes with 4 bite size pieces but nonetheless still worth a try as you could never go wrong with crispy rice and spicy salmon. HONCHO ROLL(5/5): My friends and I all of us favored this roll the most! I love crab and salmon so this was the perfect roll for me and I would highly recommend ordering this one. The quality of the ingredients were very fresh. DRAGON CRUNCH ROLL(4/5): I really enjoyed this roll, it was my second favorite one that we ordered. I normally prefer rolls with spicy mayo rather than eel sauce but the tempura flakes on this roll was my favorite part. OZUMO ROLL(2.5/5): I don't like ahi so I'm a bit biased but this was actually our least favorite between all of us. The flavor profile was pretty bland and just wasn't as good as Honcho and Dragon Crunch. The customer service here is great! Even though we came in a party of 8, our waiter was always very attentive and we never had a hard time flagging him down. My friends and I ordered 3 rolls and 2 plates to share between the 4 of us yet we all still left Ozumo hungry, even though we were already paying over $65/person since we got drinks as well. All of the popular rolls that we ordered cost over $22 per roll and their cocktails range from $16-21. You can definitely pay cheaper for sushi and drinks at other spots in San Jose that are just as good, which is the main reason I probably wouldn't come back to dine at Ozumo. I enjoyed the food and ambiance here, but for the price point, I'd rather dine elsewhere. read more

Our server Josh was very attentive and helpful. He gave us good recommendations and check on us multiple times. I never needed to flag him down, which is important especially when my son needed something simple like a fork or more water. The food came out at a good temperature. There were plenty of happy hour food options & drink choices. Everything was delicious. The Pork Belly skewers and sauce was amazing. My son wanted more! The ambiance was calm and inviting, maybe a bit dark in the booths, but overall pretty good for a Friday afternoon. read more

My friends and I wanted to celebrate my 22nd in San Jose so we chose this sushi spot to have a birthday dinner celebration at. We decided to sit outdoors because it was a beautiful evening! But inside would have also been nice since it is a beautiful ambiance with good music bumping in the background. We had no reservations and were seated fairly quickly on a Saturday evening. Honestly, I have had better quality fish elsewhere. For the pricing of this place, I was expecting to be blown away by quality and presentation. Both lacked hard. ALSO... one of the glasses had a whole crack in it??? How dangerous. The presentation of the sushi rolls weren't worth what the prices were. They were cut in either big chunks or really small chunks, SUPER uneven... The quality of the fish didn't taste very fresh either. Not sure what's going on over there. I am deciding on 3/5 stars because the Tuna Tartare was yummy with the taro chips and you get a free chocolate ice cream mochi if it's your birthday. The mochi is presented in a beautiful box but low and behold... it is the tiniest mochi you will ever see. You can inhale in one bite and your mouth wouldn't even be full. (It was still really yummy though HAHA) read more

Drinks only review: Came here for drinks after lunch with the wife. Leon was our server and he was cool. Told him that all we wanted was drinks and that it was for the wife's birthday. He was nice and attentive. Wife ordered the Giddy Geisha which was a sweet drink, but wasn't overly sweet. I ordered the Yakuza and it was an interesting take on the old fashioned. Not sure if i would get it again, but it was nice to try. Also got the daiginjo tasting for sake. That was really enjoyable. 3 sake with 3 different flavors that you can tell distinctly. Leon also surprised us with a dessert for the wife's birthday. Vanilla ice cream with chocolate crumbles and yuzu. Would like to come back to try the food. read more

Definitely a cool place to hang out located in the heart of Santana Row. My girlfriends and I were looking for a place to celebrate our friend's birthday and Ozumo was one of the places that we wanted to try. Decoration was so nice, you could feel the ambience right after you stepped inside the restaurant. What we ordered: Drinks: Matcha Mai Tai ($14) Sawayakana ($7) Akarui ($7) All the drinks were delicious and refreshing, but bear in mind that they are non-alcoholic drinks. So you'll need to order bottle of wine or sake to order some alcohol drinks. 1. Sashimi Chef Selection. You will get 7 kinds of sushi and it comes out 14 pieces of sushi). $68. All the sushi tasted really fresh, and the chef definitely sliced thick cut, so you'll feel you get your money worth. However, the waiter didn't explain the fish selection properly, and he was half remembered the fish's kinds, so I felt that the waiter needed to be trained to present the sashimi in front of customer. We paid almost $70 for sashimi, we had the right to know what we were going to eat since they didn't classify the name on the menu. 2. Honcho Roll ($24). It was delicious. This is one of the roll that. will definitely order again in the future if I ever plan to revisit Ozumo. 3. Crispy Rice Tuna. ($16). I felt that the crispy rice was a bit too overcooked. However, the chef still executed it nicely with some tune on top. Some people complain that their food is rather overpriced for the portion that we got. However, located in the heart of Santana Row where rent is skyrocketing, I do understand that they are trying their best to satisfy customers who crave Japanese cuisine in the convenience of high-end place like Santana Row. Our waiter was friendly and nice as well, he recommended us some dishes for first timers like us. Definitely will come back. read more

Ozumo is a really hot spot right in the hottest part of San Jose, right in the middle of Santana Row usually identifiable by the rodeo drive vibes with high end luxury cars and luxury shopping nearby. Parking can be easy or hard depending on traffic and time of day, with several large parking structures nearby. I didn't catch the name of our waitress - I believe it was Yvonne(?), but she was absolutely amazing throughout our night. I really wish the food would've impressed a bit more, especially at the price point - it seems the focus is more on the ambiance and location than the food. Shishito peppers - nice light char and quite large peppers. Be careful with this one, for every 9 mild peppers, one will likely be very spicy. Topped with bonito flakes, needed a bit of soy sauce in my opinion. Sashimi moriwase - 5 type selection, very basic selection - I didn't feel the chefs choice was very adventurous or special at all. For $50, I expect a lot more from this. Tokyo gyu - very well cooked, albeit quite chewy. Again, quite expensive for what it is. Ginza gyu - filet was cooked a little bit more than medium rare unfortunately, also lacking on flavor - we ended up sharing the sauces that came with the Tokyo gyu. Overall, the incredible staff and ambiance is all that would be worth coming back for. Unfortunately a bit too pricy for what we got. read more

This has some of the best (if not THE best) sushi in the South Bay. Seriously, hats of the the chef... the sushi rolls are incredible here and so well made. High quality seafood and the spice level is divine. We ordered the Honcho and the AKA Dragon and both were out of the park. One minor gripe: They charge $4 for a tiny bowl of Miso Soup.. but I guess overpriced food is to be expected on Santana Row. For drinks I got the Giddy Geisha and the boo got a Tekika Mule. Both were great! Now ... why is this otherwise amazing place getting 3 stars? The service is so... sooooo bad. We went two times.. the first time I thought it was a fluke since it was a weekend and we were sitting at the bar... but today it is Wednesday and they weren't busy at all. We were sitting at our table for about 20 minutes before we flagged someone down and eventually got service. From there.. it was one thing if not another: no utensils, no water, food arriving but not the drinks, no refills, waitress MIA for the check so the hostess had to help us out. Incredible food, but for the price you are paying service really needs to be better. I'm torn if I should come back a third time... maybe take out is the answer? Or maybe I need to visit their San Francisco restaurant... read more

Stopped by Ozumo for the first time, Monday night and kind of skeptical about the food due to the reviews on Yelp, however I decided to give this place a shot. VERY WORTH. Service, I must say was very good. My server, Catherine was very attentive with getting water. She then recommended the Chirashi Bowl, Hanabi, and Honcho Roll. Chirashi bowl - was pretty good, super fresh, and good amount of variety of sashimi. Tbh, can't go wrong with this one (8.5/10). Hanabi - is a MUST GET, sliced hamachi if you're into it, really good quality, with avocado. Finished the whole thing including the ponzu (10/10). Honcho Roll - was also a really good choice if you want everything inside your roll with shrimp tempura, salmon, spicy tuna, and their spicy aioli. It's also another good portion size to get me full. Another MUST GET (9.3). Thanks so much for the recommendations, Catherine! Super helpful, friendly, and attentive! Coming back here to try more things on their menu. read more

Been to Ozumo a few times now, making it at least a yearly trip with my girlfriend. The specialty rolls have always been great, and today we had the Dragon Crunch, Ozumo, and Yaki Rolls, which were delicious. We got the Gyoza, which had a nice crunch to them, the paired sauce was just okay, preferred them with soy sauce. To finish, we had the Choco-Chan and the Ichigo Mousse, which were a chocolate matcha cake with vanilla ice cream, and a rich strawberry matcha mousse topped with pistachio and fruity shaved ice. The Ichigo Mousse is the best dessert we've ever had, and we get it every time we come. Food aside, the service was excellent. DAVE was our server, and he did a great job with speedy service and good recommendations, and the food runner was very kind as well, but we didn't get his name unfortunately. The ambiance of the restaurant is fairly lively, lights are reasonably dim, at least where we sat, and the noise level is high enough for a comfortable conversation with your table, but not so loud you can't hear them well. Overall, an excellent experience, and we absolutely will be coming again. read more

Quality food, kind service, and a great atmosphere are just some of the memorable aspects of dining at Ozumo! This was our second time at this spot in the heart of Santana Row and, after mentioning it was my birthday in the reservation, the chef and team wrote a personalized letter to me that we found upon arrival. So thoughtful! The menu offers some tasty gluten free options such as the Aburi, Negitoro, and Tekka Mango specialty rolls as well as plenty in the "Classic Rolls" section. All were enjoyable along with our delicious non-alcoholic mixed drinks and we were excited to finish with a chocolate dessert as well as the Basuku, a gluten-free cheesecake with refreshing fruit.

Our waiter's name was Cliff who was super friendly and professional. He seemed laidback and kept cracking jokes during our meal. I appreciate when the food comes out all at once but our food came out staggered. My friends and I had the option of sitting indoors or outdoors. It was so hot outside that we chose to sit indoors where it was cooler because of the air conditioning. For the drinks I ordered a Sapporo and warm Sake to share. The Sapporo came in a freezing glass which I love to keep the beer cold. The sake came in an interesting container which also acted as a heater to keep the sake hot. It had a nice presentation. One of the members from our table ordered the Salmon Sashimi for $10.00. It was overpriced for only two pieces. But I assume these high prices for the food is expected when eating at Santana Row. My boyfriend and I shared two sushi rolls. The first roll was the Dragon Crunch for $22.00 and the second was the Honcho for $24.00. I like the size of the sushi. It wasn't too big and easier to fit all out once in my mouth. My favorite part of the Dragon Crunch was the ao nori tenkasu flakes which added a crunchy texture to the sushi. The Honcho was topped with Salmon and Avocado which were super fresh elements. read more
