Grilled Octopus was excellent as always, my favorite dishes here. Lamb Osso Bucco was served with orzo rice, peas, morels. Lamb was tender and well-seasoned. Tamarind Glazed Salmon served with kale and red quinoa. The salmon itself was good, but I don't think the quinoa was a good match with the dish. The flatbread was the most disliked item we had. It was a bit bland and too doughy. We enjoyed the Peyrassol Rosé (France 2025), which was not only nice to see but also nice to drink. Love the smooth texture and taste. Vanilla Crème Brûlée was enjoyable, the shortbread cookie was somewhat bland. Chocolate Date Cake was rich and quite sweet. Even we shared it among 3-4 people, we still couldn't finish it. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

TL;DR: not surprised to see this spot close down. The quality of food and drinks were good but the…read moreprice of each dish was not justified at all. Service was lacking professionalism and timeliness Came to celebrate a birthday dinner and we were immediately disappointed by the service team - couldn't find the reservation (made a month in advance) - sat us without menus - when they did bring menus, they only had 2 for a party of 6... Food was overall good but the server oversold everything. The taste and balance was decent but pricing was 100% unjustified. Review of our table's order - excluding the obvious lack of value and weird plating choices: - mezze dips: skip. rip off. - cauliflower: maybe the best dish of the meal - octopus: sauce was unnecessary and portion size was terrible - caesar salad: not good - lamb shank: tender but the sides were trash - branzino: parts tasted not fully cooked. - lamb chops: DRY. Hammered the protein and drenched in oil...? Do not get. - chicken: large portion and maybe the best bang for buck when feeding large parties. it was ok. No wonder they closed shortly after. I get the high rent given Santana Row pricing but do a little better when hiring service staff.

We ordered a variety of sushi, sashimi, specialty rolls, and gyoza, and every dish was flavorful and expertly prepared. The salmon sashimi was buttery and incredibly fresh, the specialty rolls were creative without overpowering the fish, and the gyoza were perfectly crispy with a delicious dipping sauce. Everything was plated beautifully, making the meal feel like a special experience. The atmosphere is stylish and upscale, making it a great spot for date nights, celebrations, or dinner with friends. The service was attentive, and the overall dining experience was excellent. Ozumo is definitely one of the best places in San Jose for high-quality Japanese cuisine, and I'll gladly be back.

As other reviews have mentioned the biggest problem is it's a little too thin around the middle. But the fluffy chewy crust is very enjoyable. I highly recommend the Bianca. They have a full bar with some interesting cocktails on the menu. I keep coming back for the Greyhound's Tooth. It's made with fresh grapefruit juice and it's just so good. I'm only knocking a star as service has been medium good. Some service has been fantastic and others a little neglectful. Food is great with small room for improvements. If I could do 4.5, I would, it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area shopping around!

The food here falls a bit short…read more The location is great - right in the middle of Santana Row, but I think that's all that going for this place. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and we were able to be seated without a reservation. The vibe is really casual, and we saw lots of people in big groups. The service and food were okay but nothing really stood out. Our pizza had a good amount of cheese, but the middle was so thin that it basically disintegrated as we picked up each slice. The gnocchi was pretty doughy and bland, but the salad on top was really good and saves the dish. We also got 2 sodas by the staffs' recommendation and one of them wasn't even carbonated , which in my opinion, is the whole point of a soda. I wouldn't come back again and I think there are much better restaurants in the area

The menu is laid out by geographic regions, which I thought was a really neat way to showcase the many different cuisines. We started with summer rolls and calamari, both of which were excellent. The summer rolls were fresh and bright, with a delicious peanut sauce that was among the best my sister (a self-described "Peanut Sauce Snob") and I had ever had. The large pieces of calamari were expertly cooked, still very tender even after frying. There was a hint of spice in the calamari dipping sauce that I quite enjoyed. For entrees, we got Pad Thai, Pad See You, and Panang Curry -- all favorites we've had many places (despite the many alluring new-to-me options, I admit we all defaulted to known quantities) -- and we were impressed across the board. Everything was flavorful, had just the right amount of spice, and came out steaming hot. We really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of this restaurant, which felt lively and friendly. It was very busy, with a line out the door by the time we left, so reservations are a good idea!

Dishes we tried - tom kha: listed under their small plates, they recommend a small bowl for 2 people - Panang curry: chicken was tasty - tom yum fried rice: this was our FAVORITE and if we were to return, we would definitely get this again. The calamari was nicely cooked, had large pieces of calamari - pad prik moo krob (roasted pork belly pieces): the pork belly was not crispy enough and therefore ended up just having tough pork belly. This was the most spicy dish out of all of the ones we had. I don't recommend eating the peppercorn if you're not ready for some heat. Wait - they have two tables that are only for groups 4+. There are other tables for groups of 4. We did not wait but we did join the waitlist ahead of time. You do need your entire party there to be seated - they do have 2 tables outdoors under heat lamps Ambiance - casual, nicely decorated inside - they have an indoor space that is on the small side - lighting and noise was ok for our family. We could have a conversation and everyone could hear each other. Lighting was enough even for the elders with cataracts Service - friendly - waiters came by at least 6+ times during the hour we spent there. Not fussy. Just to refill water and clear dishes because the tables are small in the slightly cramped indoor area

After I saw that this restaurant was created by the same group that manages Spruce in San Francisco I became a bit more excited about trying it out. However, I should not have had my hopes up. While the ambiance, decor were definitely on point, and the service was also good, the brunch food unfortunately fell a bit short. I couldn't quite pinpoint this part of it, but my husband pointed it out- the experience itself starts off with the menu, which isn't organized in a classic fashion- they're organized roughly by "sea," "ranch," and for brunch, a separate "brunch " category. Each category mixes all the typical types of dishes, so under "garden" you have all the vegetarian dishes, including appetizers, brunch items, bread and some main courses (like pasta). My other half's comment is that if the food had delivered, or if the waitstaff had been trained to guide us on how to order (perhaps a few small dishes to share, or one from each category etc) this could have been overlooked or seen as a fun whimsical way to dine. Unfortunately neither of those things happened. The waitstaff did ask us if it was our first time dining at the establishment and we confirmed, but then we were just welcomed nicely. The food was priced about what you expect at most places- however the portions were very small. The plating was a bit lackluster- plates seemed too big for the food on the plate, food was placed in a way where it looked like there were empty places where something else could have gone (a lemon wedge? A fresh edible flower? ). The food itself was fine. Just fine. Not amazing. Not bad. Just....fine. I had the poached salmon tartine, and I suppose I was hoping it would be as amazing as the salmon club at Poppy and Claro (that sandwich is out of this world delicious to me- generous portions as well, excellent plating...but they only open on weekdays). We also had the breakfast plate, the lemon pasta (from the "garden" category"). My younger son ended up eating an off the menu mixed fruit bowl which was delicious but..just cut fruit. We prob won't be coming back.

Parking was easy in the nearby parking lot which is a stone's throw away from the restaurant. The menu is great for both vegetarians and meat-eaters, and they offer substitutions like tofu instead of chicken. I ordered a Thai Mango salad which was very refreshing while my friend ordered a Chimichurri steak salad. The salads were fresh but I wish mine had more dressing to make it a little more tangy. We sat outside and when I went inside for a napkin to dust the table, the waiter rushed with a cloth and cleaner to tidy up our table. Patio seating was spacious and inviting. The service was polite and welcome. I'll be coming here again with friends!
