Ozeki Restaurant

We came to Ozeki with some friends on a night when all of us felt like sushi and had babysitters for the kids - the perfect storm! The place is located on a corner in a small strip mall and despite the relatively plain exterior, we all were very excited about what was going on inside. Upon entering there is a lovely sushi bar where you can watch the fishy art is being made, there is plenty of standard seating throughout the restaurant, as well as an area with more traditional Japanese type seating to the right and up some stairs. I'm not sure what that set up is called, but it looked very nice. The sake menu was good, at least by my fairly elementary standards. There were something like 10 options ranging from $15-$60. We opted for the second least expensive stuff - the classy move! The evening started with a poke salad that was quite nice - good flavor, lots of meat and roe for that lovely little crunchy pop. The real deliciousness though came was with the sushi options. As most will advise, get he Ahi Tower! It's one of the prettiest sushi dishes we've had and was a great one for 4 of us to split. Nice tuna, crab, roe and plenty of different sauces. We buddies up with a number of rolls as well and they were all above average. Not the best eve, but well worth their delicious weight in fish. At the table we had a Salmon skin, a Yakima roll, a Boyfriend roll and a California. The favorite was the Yakima roll with BBQ eel- good flavors and nicely presented. Good quality stuff with enough variety and creativity to keep us entertained, but not so much that it made choosing cumbersome. We love our choices....but only within reason! A salad, the tower, the rolls and the sake were just right for the group. It left just enough room for ice cream down the road! Our whole experience was pretty uniformly pleasant - good food, relatively quick service, a nice variety and friendly servers. It's not high end, but that also means the prices aren't high end either. It's that great spot on the quality/price curve where the lines intersect - Nerd alert! End of the day, the sushi here was good enough that we'll be back and, at present, it's lobbying to be our go to spot for fish delights in the area!

Rather disappointed by authenticity. My nigiri was a slab of fish rather than a thin slice. Could hardly choke down the first one and didn't even dare attempting the second. There rolls were mediocre, and a poor selection of what I would consider authentic rolls. Definitely Americanized sushi. The service was decent. The waitress was a tad bit uniformed on the sushi and sake.
