Our special day was made even more special by a wonderful blend of delectable menu options,…read morethoughtful service and ambiance. The menu presented extensive and adventurous options that as first timers could have been intimidating but with the help of Donavin our delightful server, we selected the perfect seafood salad for the Mrs. and the curated selection of Maki (delicious sushi "tacos") that together made for the perfect share. Add to that a smooth Japanese beer and a surprisingly moderate overcast that made our dinner on the patio the perfect way to celebrate our first meeting 47 years ago. There were so many other tempting menu options that we'll look forward to sampling on our next for sure visit. Hopefully we will have the pleasure of having Donavin as our server even though our observation is that all the young people serving are helpful and gracious . Having read about Oiza in the CVLUX magazine, I can honestly say our experience so grandly exceeded our expectations my wife wants to submit her own review!

We chose to commemorate it by having dinner at O-iza and what a wonderful choice it was! As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were immersed into the a serene and beautiful environment characteristic of the Japanese culture. The young ladies that greeted us and then ushered us to the patio were lovely and gracious. It was then that we met Donavin who became our adept curator for the evening. He effortlessly, patiently and with insight matched our curiosities and tastes to the perfect menu choices. We quickly realized that we were barely scratching the surface of the delightful selections that the menu has to offer. That means we need to return and continue our exploration. Hopefully, we again will have Donavin to guide us. We would like to thank the entire staff for a most pleasurable evening. Nancy M. Ramentas

This is my nth time eating at Sakura Teppanyaki, and I continue to be impressed with the food they…read moreserve. This time, I ordered the teriyaki chicken and scallops with a side of bacon fried rice. The salad had an amazing vinegary flavor with a nice kick that really stood out. The chicken was tender and chewy in a good way, the vegetables were perfectly cooked, and the scallops had the right texture and were cooked just right. The bacon fried rice added a rich and savory flavor that complemented the meal well. Overall, another satisfying experience, and I'll definitely be coming back again.

All his food was pretty good. The drinks were awful. My husband asked for a Vodka soda and was given a vodka tonic. At first we thought maybe the server heard wrong, but since the server wasn't around at all we walked it over to the bar ourselves and asked the bartender to remake it since the bar was completely empty (I mean not one soul) at 7:45 on a Saturday night. The second drink the bartender gave us was a vodka sprite. Maybe we should have specified soda means seltzer. Dinner bill for 3 adults and 2 kids was $250 plus tips. The food was decent but the service was underwhelming and subpar for spending that type of cash. Especially since the server seemed like anything we asked her was asking her to go out of her way. For example, we had to ask for straws, chopsticks, refills on water etc.

Namikaze has the best fries in Fresno! Their Loaded Otaku Fries with kimchi are hands-down the best…read morefries I've ever had. We come back again and again just for those, and we've even called in takeout orders when a craving hits. We also love the Poke Nachos, topped with generous chunks of sashimi, avocado, and jalapeños. The fries and poke nachos together are more than enough for two people to share for lunch, and for dinner we usually order one of their delicious rice bowls. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with a bar area featuring TVs, a separate dining room with high-top tables where the sushi bar is, and a back dining area with standard-height tables and chairs. There's also a beautiful patio overlooking a water fountain and courtyard, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal outdoors. If you're visiting Namikaze for the first time, the Loaded Otaku Fries are an absolute must-order!

A lot comes to mind when you hear the name Fresno. Raisins, Agriculture, Bridge to nowhere, but…read moreSushi is not one of them. So when my son asked us to meet him, his lovely wife and our 3 granddaughters for dinner on a recent visit I didn't have my hopes up. Namikaze is a nice quiet restaurant that from its decor could easily be an Italian, French or American restaurant. Just change the paintings on the wall. The Menu is pretty expansive. A full menu of Sushi, noodles, gyoza and rolls made it difficult to choose but eventually we narrowed it down. I always try the Unagi (eel) at any sushi restaurant. It is my barometer for how good everything else will probably be. It was good. I also ordered the Kimono Roll while my wife had Shogun roll. We also tried the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was terrific. Excellent taste and fresh. Next time someone asks me about Fresno I'll say "Fresno! They have good sushi there". Definitely Recommended.

Huge menu with a lot to choose from - I usually go for the bento boxes. The tempura isn't greasy but it's crunchy. Gyozas are good and fresh. The sushi I've tried has been tasty too. There's another side to the restaurant that I believe is the teppanyaki side. Haven't experienced it yet since I've only come for lunch. I'm wondering if they get a lot of business since it's so barren when I go. Hoping they get enough business because I do enjoy this restaurant!

Great music selection and the sushi chefs were a blast to talk with. Their humor made our lunch even that more enjoyable. We definitely made some friends and looking forward to come back another time.

Even with price adjustments over time their menu pricing is completely reasonable and gives you unbeatable value especially when compared to other nearby teppanyaki restaurants that tend to overcharge.
