    This place is in a small hidden area , very cute and cosy. We had a small lunch ordered a few things . Food is great !! Flavors are so good !! Everything tastes perfect . Only one thing that bothered me was the person who took care of us from start to finish was NOT friendly at all. No hello welcome , I asked her for any recommendations, she just said I don't know , I asked her for spicy , she said she didn't have any. I notice that she is also the cook Which is pretty cool , I would have gave her that 5th star but , she is just NOT FRIENDLY !

    Spoiled Spicy Tuna Roll

    I came here and purchased a spicy tuna roll & California roll. I was served a spicy tuna roll with SPOILED spicy tuna. The smell and taste of spoiled fish is something I do not wish you experience. That's unfortunately not all sadly. The service here is not great, the old lady working there treats you like you are inconveniencing her. The restaurant is not cleaned after promptly as the tables are covered with dirty dishes and utensils. It takes a long while for your order to be done. They are also stingy with utensils, sauces, and napkins. You have to ask for them, and when you do the lady there again looks highly irritated with you. The California roll only had a paper thin smear of avocado on it. I am so disappointed and I hope I don't get sick from this place. I was just trying to support a local business but will never be returning here again.

    Delicious! Ordered take out and it was ready quickly. I just wish they didn't use Styrofoam take out containers.

    Surprisingly good Japanese food in a humble strip center on the agricultural outskirts of Oxnard. We stopped in here for a quick bento lunch on the way to the Seabee museum, and we are glad we did :) The restaurant was clean and busy, always good signs at a sushi bar. We ordered 3 bento boxes, a chicken teriyaki bowl, and two sushi rolls. The spicy tuna roll here was the best I had in California - very close to the way I make mine at home. The teriyaki chicken bowl came out hot and fresh with a pleasant sauce covering the chicken, on fluffy SEASONED sushi rice. So many lazy Japanese places don't rinse or season the rice for their donburi bowls, which should always be done. It's a pet peeve of mine. This place did both, which means they know what they are doing with the rice - a foundational food in Japan. The bentos have a good variety of freshly made Japanese favorites: miso soup, shrimp and vegetable tempura (depending on the order), 4 pc California roll, and salad. I got the sashimi and sushi combo bento, which had thick delicious pieces of yellowtail, ahi tuna, and salmon over spiralized daikon. The sashimi was perfect, and is THE proof that the food here is very good. There is no hiding any flaws in sashimi - it's either great or awful. This sashimi was great, and for that we give this jewel of a place 5 excellent sushi and sashimi stars Eat here if you live in or pass through Oxnard. You'll be glad you did.

    California handroll
    Youri Y.

    This Japanese restaurant is owned by a Korean pastor and his wife from what I remember my parents told me. They have a great lunch menu consisting of bento boxes for ~$7.99, a tofu bowl for ~$4.50 and a California handroll for ~$3.50, which my co-workers and I ordered. The food came out quick during a busy lunch hour and everything tasted good. Only thing the restaurant needs a bit improvement is listening to the customer's needs because my co-worker Griselda had mentioned to the chef to not add onions to her tofu bowl if it came with any (she's highly allergic to onions) and when she got her bowl, she found one sliver of it throughout her meal. I know it's only one piece but it worried me that would if there were more pieces in her meal and she could have gotten hives in reaction to the one piece. Jussayin. I have came here many times for dinner than lunch and I would say my dinner experience here is 24163 times better than my first lunch experience today and 836247 times better sushi here than the sushi served at City Buffet across the street where they used actual canned tuna in their sushi :)

    Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box
    Phyllis M.

    A solid 4 stars. Delicious and inexpensive! I've been here a handful of times and each experience has been very good! My last experience was April 16th, 30 minutes before closing. I was in a sushi mood and didn't want to drive far and this place is 5 minutes away. I ordered a Teriyaki Chicken bento box (which comes with 2 big scoops of rice, LOTS of teriyaki chicken, four pieces of Cali roll, salad, 2 fried pot stickers and a tempura shrimp) all for $6.95 and a Crunch Roll. My eyes were much bigger than my stomach because when I got the food I was astounded by the amount of containers I received. The guy who took my order gave me extra Cali rolls since they were closing soon, which I appreciated. He gave me extra condiments for everything. I'm sure you could have guessed, but I did NOT eat all my food. In fact when I put all my left overs together, it looked like one intact meal. DEFINITELY coming again!

    I hadn't been here in a very long time and my husband suggested it for lunch the other day. I was excited to eat here again! The restaurant is small, but clean and well lit. The staff greeted and seated us right away and as we sat down a party of five came in (large for this size restaurant). We were not handed menus and my husband grabbed two off the counter for us instead. When the woman came to take our drink orders she first went to the party of five, seated after us, and got their orders first. When she came to our table I asked for a Diet Coke and was told they were out. They also had no other diet drinks so I ordered a water. After she left our table my husband reminded me we had sodas in our car in the parking lot so I brought one in. Then the woman came back to our table and happily informed us she had located a Diet Coke for me. It was cold and I accepted it even though I already had opened my own. I ordered a cucumber salad and a shrimp tempura crunch roll. I was surprised when the roll came out with two sauces slathered all over it. I asked about them and was told one was spicy mayo. I can't handle spicy foods so I ordered a second roll without the spicy mayo. The staff (man and woman) defended the roll and checked the menu to confirm the sauce was "pictured" (the pictures are very small and the sauce was not listed in the description of the roll). I said it was my fault and asked them to make me another roll. The second roll came without any sauce so I had to ask for eel sauce, which was promptly provided. The cucumber salad was the strangest and least appealing I've ever had at a Japanese restaurant and I order this salad at pretty much every single Japanese restaurant I eat at. It consisted of a bed of lettuce (very unusual for this kind of salad) and cucumber *sticks* arranged on top. Everything was coated in a dressing that was too spicy for me (also unusual for this salad). It felt as if someone saw that Japanese restaurants serve a "cucumber salad" and came up with their own guess as to what that meant without actually having had a cucumber salad (sunomono) at any other restaurant. Even Lazy Dog (not a Japanese restaurant) makes a more authentic Japanese Cucumber Salad than Maki. Very strange and disappointing. My second roll was delicious and I would definitely order it again. Second roll was 4 stars for sure as was the fact that they didn't charge us for the first roll even though I would have paid (and we tipped heavily to compensate for the uncharged roll). Pretty much everything else was 2-3 stars and if I return here I think I'll stick to my roll (without spicy sauce). PS my husband enjoyed his bento box of teriyaki chicken just fine. I tried some and it was very good.

Arrived around 7pm on a Sunday and were super silly and didn't put in a reservation beforehand, so we had to wait about 30-40 minutes before securing a table (pro tip: GET A RESERVATION! Sunday night is family night, so it will be tough just being able to simply walk in without a wait). After a beer at another location, we got the glorious text from Gen saying our table was ready, so we scrambled to get back ~30minutes later. We were seated and were met with Arvin, our incredible server. Since we all have been there, he didnt have to go through the rigamarole of telling us how to our nght would go, so we got to orderin! First off, the menu is HUUUUUUUUGE. There are so many options to choose from and we got so many things. My personal favorites were: Kimchi fried rice w/ Cheese - so flavorful with a little bit of kick (i love the spicy) Corn Cheese - because of course Spicy Pork bulgolgi - Again Spicy Honey spicy bulgolgi - This surprised me at how much i liked this. So good They even serve my favorite sake here (Kikusui) which was excellent! Great night over at Gen! Arvin, our server was amaxing, gave us lots of recommendations and treated us really well. This was a bit of a going away dinner for myself, but I know that there are tons of other locations of Gen! If I don't catch this particular location again soon, im sure ill be at another up north!

We ordered from the regular menu. The brisket seemed leaner than I remember and didn't taste as high quality as it used to. The pork belly was cut way too thick, I prefer thinner slices so you can get a better char and crisp texture. The galbi marinade also felt a little off this time, slightly too sweet and missing that smoky charred flavor. That said, the service was above average and surprisingly quick despite how busy it was. Honestly, one of the main reasons I still come here is because there aren't many KBBQ options in Ventura County unless you're willing to drive out farther.

Also, since this was my first time I wanted to try something else and the worker, Judy was extremely helpful.

I'm so glad she recommended it because it was one of the best Korean fried chicken I've had in a long time. Now the inside of the restaurant itself is another great factor. Has a nice modern interior design with a nice shade of yellow. Exceptionally clean and had great Korean music playing. Overall, from walking in to leaving, one of the best services Ive had in a while. If you live in the area of Ventura, I highly recommend you go check this spot out.

After a long day on the beach at Oxnard our family stopped by on a Sunday evening for a quick dinner before driving home. The restaurant is seemingly the only survivor left in a strip mall food court, leaving, after sunset, an almost eerie feel with the restaurant taking up one corner of an otherwise empty courtyard. We ordered and our food came quite quickly. We got the Tonkotsu Ramen ($13), which was quite poor; while the proportions were generous the broth was off and the ingredients melded together a bit too much, like a stew kept on for too long. The dinner bento box with teriyaki salmon ($17) was decent though, with great tempura vegetables, excellent fried gyoza, and good, if generic, salmon and spicy tuna maki side. We also got the B.S. II roll (whatever that stands for; $14), a California roll topped with cooked scallops and shrimp and spicy mayo. We've had many variants of this before (my spouse being a cooked sushi fan) and this was fairly mid, as the foodies say these days. A special note should be said for the service; our waitress, while quite busy by the end of the evening, attended to our needs, added on drinks later, and even put on the game at my request. Value, listed above, I found to be quite favorable. The food quality was limited, yet this still made for great budget pick. My expectations weren't high for this Fisherman, but he met them. The steady stream of pickup drivers and other families who came to that empty mall are telling, however. This is a stalwart, stubborn shop in a dying mall - an adequate, budget-friendly sushi place for the people. I can appreciate that. Food: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 5/5

Fishermans sushi is a hidden gem known to those who grew up here and to those who stumbled upon it by chance (like me).

This restaurant has character that's for sure. Inside are eager chefs and friendly service, even after all these years. The prices are still insanely reasonable too. My friend and I split a sashimi boat for $45. That was six varieties of fresh fish, each with five large slices of sashimi. HOW?! In this economy?! Grateful that they can serve up fresh sushi at such reasonable prices. Their classic rolls and fried appetizers are also fantastic. My friend and I would both highly recommend their shrimp tempura. Fried up fresh, the batter was crispy and delicate. For rolls, go with the Fisherman's house roll as it was garlicky with a good sauce and fresh. We had a really good time here and definitely feel like it's a well kept secret to those who weren't born and raised here as for lunch it was pretty dead inside. Yet a lot of the locals love it and rave about this spot. Definitely worth checking out, we had a good experience and loved the old time vibes of this place.
