I called and made a reservation, so we were seated as soon as we walked in. Our server took our drink order and handed us menus. We all decided on the lunch combination then ordered edamame as well. The edamame, salad, and soups came out quickly. The soup was hot and the salad was fresh with enough dressing. Our chef came out and of course he was a young guy. He knew what he was doing and at some point in cooking, lit a fire and we sang Happy Birthday to our granddaughter. He asked us often if we would like a certain food on our plate which was nice. We all received plenty of each item and at the end, took our leftovers home. Pepsi products, so I had a Dr. Pepper. One of the kids had a Shirley Temple and the other a lemonade. Excellent service, fresh food, and clean bathrooms.

She even took the menu out of my hand while I was still asking a question and finishing my order, which came across as quite rude. Thankfully, the rest of the experience more than made up for it. Our Teppanyaki chef was charismatic, entertaining, and made the meal a lot of fun. Best of all, the food was absolutely delicious! I would definitely come back for the chef and the great food--I just hope for better service next time.

Japanese Kitchen - Clovis, CA…read more Another teppanyaki restaurant checked off my list! This was my first time trying Japanese Kitchen in Clovis. I wasn't a fan of the dashi soup. The fish flavor was a little too strong for my taste, and the slightly slimy texture was disappointing. On the positive side, the portions are very generous--definitely more than enough for one person. I ordered the seafood combo, and it was tasty and cooked perfectly. The hot and spicy sauce paired with the teriyaki sauce was a great combination and really complemented the seafood. The staff were friendly and welcoming, although I found the ambiance a little too dark and somewhat depressing. Overall, I enjoyed the main meal despite not liking the soup. I'll definitely come back to try some of the other items on the menu.

I had to remind them that I still needed to pay. They left to get the handheld payment device. It was taking a while to process. As soon as I said it looks like it's working, they said thank you and left. They didn't verify that it went through. It did go through a few moments after they left but somebody could easily have gotten $100+ worth of free food due to their rush. If they are that rushed on a to go order, it makes me wonder how rushed they are for in-service dining. From my perspective, they didn't look particularly busy. The rolls themself were OK. Certainly better than another sushi spot I went to the week prior, although still nothing special. The rolls looked fantastic. But taste wise there was nothing that stood out, other than the Treasure Box. Four of the rolls were either bland or very much one note only. One of the rolls was also poorly wrapped and easily came apart. The Treasure Box was the only standout. However, the size made it impossible to eat neatly. And while it was good, it certainly wasn't worth $27. The baked salmon roll was also good but nothing special and again not worth $22. I wouldn't say any of the rolls were bad. They were just OK but overpriced. I also found it odd that they gave one serving of wasabi and ginger for an order of five items.

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!

We definitely made some friends and looking forward to come back another time.

Vegas-grade Holidate special occasion spot. -- Of all the Fresno restaurant grand openings over the…read morepast couple years, Oiza made one of the most delicious first impressions and quickly became a favorite holiday date-night discovery. When we first visited, it was also one of the few Asian restaurants open during the holidays, which made getting that reservation feel even more special. Coming from Vegas, the beau is especially particular about sushi, and Oiza successfully exceeded expectations. As for me, having dined at Japanese restaurants from Nobu and Morimoto to Michelin-starred experiences, I was equally impressed by the ambience, service, presentation and overall execution. It also makes sense that the operation feels seasoned: Oiza is part of Lin's Restaurant Group, the same local family behind other Fresno-area favorites including Hino Oishi, J-Pot, Spicy J's, Ramen Hayashi and Lin's Fusion. It's obvious the staff has been properly trained in both front- and back-of-house fine dining operations. We've now dined here three times -- each for a different experience -- and Oiza has delivered. First Holidate: Fabulous evening from start to finish. Everyone from our server to management checked in on us, service felt polished without being intrusive, and we appreciated the elegant attention to detail. Bonus points for being seated side by side. We ended up closing out the restaurant as the last two guests to leave. Hamachi ceviche -- Exactly what an appetizer should do: whet your appetite for more. Salmon spoons -- Tasty little bites. Wagyu gyoza -- Rich and indulgent. Miso seabass -- If miso seabass is on the menu, I'm ordering it. Definitely a reorder. Hi Tuna roll -- Unique enough that we ordered it again on our second visit. Yellowtail & salmon sashimi -- Excellent quality and freshness. Second Celebradate: We returned to celebrate a special industry achievement and arrived just in time for our 5:45 p.m. reservation. Although I had booked directly through Oiza's website via Tock, the reservation didn't appear in their system. Fortunately, I had the email and text confirmations, and the team graciously accommodated us after a short wait. We repeated several favorites and ventured into a few new dishes: Hamachi ceviche -- Worth repeating. Grilled oysters -- A welcome addition to the table. Uni udon pasta -- The one miss for us. I wanted more uni and umami depth; the noodles were slightly overcooked and the sauce could have been smoother. Hi Tuna roll -- Just as good the second time. Amaebi & yellowtail sashimi -- Fresh and beautifully presented. Our server Itzy was wonderful throughout the evening and surprised us with a complimentary dessert. We would have ordered the matcha parfait if we hadn't been so full -- or if Dubai chocolate wasn't already waiting at home. Third time was the charm: We came back for Oiza's impressive luncheon specials and loaded up on several of our favorites while finally trying the temakis. The perfectly crunchy seaweed made every bite, and the lunch offerings were such delicious, incredible value. Even the takeaway bags deserve a mention -- sturdy enough that they've earned a second life as reusable lunch bags. Do: Make a reservation. Try the lunch specials. Buy the gift cards. Don't: Eat the towelettes. ;) From Holidate to Celebradate to lunch date, Oiza has earned its place among our favorite Fresno special-occasion eatsplorations -- with enough value and variety to make an ordinary afternoon feel worthy too.

We knew that it would be costly but can still be a surprise when the bill arrives, watch out for the drinks We only ordered what we had seen reviewed and listened to our servers recommendations. There are a few things we plan to go back and try though. Based on his recommendation we tried the scallop temaki and it was delicious but we still really want to try the scallop spoons. Everyone talked about the sushi so we tried the house Iza Sake roll, it was good but honestly didn't blow us away. So many reviews told us to splurge on the Wagu A-5 hot rock lettuce wraps. It was fun to have them cooked in front of us and the meat was buttery, I would say to save your money. Let them cook your fried rice in front of you for the ambiance and you get more for less money. It also has Wagu beef. We also tried the bone marrow and we liked it but I do believe it's an acquired taste. We had two mixed drinks the Hibiscus Shoga, very good, but a bit too sweet. Then the Kohahu Carmel Old Fashioned which was a recommendation and we love old fashions. This was good but way too sweet for us. I do recommend the Kurosawa Nigori. We plan to return to try the spoons and seafood risotto and maybe the lobster temaki. Also recommend going earlier than later. We had an 8pm reservation and the grill was cleaned at 9pm so it was a surprise to have the kitchen closed so early.

The Katana Roll had shrimp tempura, crab salad and avocado, topped with salmon, sliced onion, spicy mayo, sriracha, tobiko and scallions.

It's a fried California roll with cream cheese, topped with chopped shrimp tempura and spicy crab salad, then finished with teriyaki sauce. Crispy, creamy, sweet, savory and seriously filling. They definitely don't skimp on the toppings here! Everything came out looking great, the portions were generous, and both rolls hit the spot. If you like specialty rolls with lots of flavor and texture, these two are absolutely worth trying. We'll definitely be back!

The wonton chips and the rest of the toppings were great, but the lack of ahi tuna, which was the best part, changed the entire dish for us.
