Came here with family for dinner on a Wednesday night after a day at the beach. Parking lots was full and restaurant was busy. They told us it would be a 20minute wait but after 10 minutes they were able to get us a table. Quite an extensive menu. We settled on 2 miso, tempura bento box with gyoza, squid, tonkatsu ramen, sashimi duo, rainbow roll, and a dynamite roll. Food came out quickly. Miso was one of the best we have had. Kids enjoyed the gyoza - one of their favourites. The squid was great - probably should have gone with half order. The rainbow and dynamite roll was different from other places we have been too but still good. The ramen was good but not the best we have had - but the kids did enjoy it. I thought the broth wasn't as flavourful as we have had before. We ordered way too much food and had to pack some for home. Service was friendly and efficient. Washrooms were clean. Will definitely try and come back again. read more

I have been a loyal customer for 15 years. Tonight we ordered takeout. The sushi was mini size. the spring rolls were tasting off , I gave it to my dog. Beef teriyaki smelled off. Did not eat it. The only thing that was the same was the miso soup. Very disappointed in the one placed I felt worth while spending my hard in money on occasional treat. read more

Great service, good atmosphere, and incredible food! My family drives from Vernon every time we want sushi just because everything else tastes subpar after trying this delicious food! read more

Ozeki Japanese Restaurant - Onion tempura roll, kappa maki, and miso soup with extra green onion - Japanese Near Me - Kelowna, British Columbia

Good, affordable sushi. The menu is large with a lot of variety. The onion tempura roll is a personal favourite of mine. My family and I love coming here because we can feed the 4 of us for 60 dollars, which is a great price. read more

I think there's a change in ownership and chefs as the food here has now unfortunately gone downhill. The udon noodle broth tasted like tepid water with supermarket bouillon favoring, the beef was tough and overall inedible. The sushi rice was definitely not from sushi rice grain, with none of the sushi rice reasoning and undercooked. The agedashi tofu was served with two big slabs of tofu and over salted (how???). The tuna tataki was unrecognizable. The dragon roll was not edible either. My advice to anyone hoping to get a decent Japanese meal is to NOT come here and waste your money. This restaurant has now become a poor example of a food court fast food joint. The service was alright - probably the only thing I can recommend here. read more

Great place for Japanese dining. This was my second time. Good and service are amazing. We ordered several different dishes and they all were great. Check out the pictures attached. The flavors far outdo the visual, which was already well done. I can recommend this place to anyone. read more

There's a not a lot Asian restaurants in Kelowna, and we ended up eating here twice during our vacation. Once inside the rooms where we sat on the floor. My aunt is a frequent visitor, so she knew the staff and knew what to order. My baby loved the ramen and the sashimi and sushi were good. Nothing too spectacular but it was good enough to fill us. I really enjoyed the fried squid though. Then a second time, to save time, we ended up picking up a party tray and that also satisfied everyone. read more

I've been here since before I knew it they have a wide selection of great food great food and sushi it is a awesome place to bring family and friends the service is wonderful and fast and the ambiance is so nice! they have beautiful decoration and it really just bring you into there culture I love this place it is my favourite place to go out and eat sushi! read more

Best Sushi around! Great price, service and wicked Sushi. Feels like an authentic Japanese restaurant. One my favourites!

so found myself driving from vernon to osoyoos and our group thought why not stop in kelowna for a quick lunch before the 2.5 road trip.... found this place via yelp and saw it was open sundays.... food prices are similar to vancouver and so was the quantity....however, food quality fell short a little bit. had the beef teri bento...sauce was overly sweeter, the beef was a hit and miss. some were tough some were tender....the bento was great as it came with a few things including prawn tempura...but sadly no miso soup.. i personally had the salmon teri bento and was surprised to get a big piece of salmon which was cooked perfectly! the sauce was just right and didn't smother the fish and rice. lastly, had the chicken katsu! huge serving and friend perfectly, but the chicken was not seasoned well. parts of it were bland. a bit of sauce was provided on the side though. came served on a sizzling plate with bean sprouts...good touch! would i repeat? absolutely! considering the location, the price vs value vs quality cant be beat!! happy eating! read more

Ozeki Japanese Restaurant - Chirashi Donburi - Japanese Near Me - Kelowna, British Columbia

Sushi chef was removing his dentures and then licking them while at the sushi bar !!! . I was shocked, he saw my friend and I looking and continued pulling them out of his mouth with unwashed hands repeatedly. I stopped eating and informed the server that I would not be able to eat this. Haven't been back there since . I used to love it here though but that ruined it for me. read more

First you are greeted warmly at the door. These people truly appreciate your business. The service is attentive and fast, warm. Now this being our first time here, the very first thing I noticed is that all of the salmon seems to be wild caught, not farmed. This is something I particularly look for at every sushi restaurant I go to as I am unwilling to eat farmed salmon. The texture of the raw sushi(s) were bang on. No slime, no rubbery texts, just perfectly fresh like it should be. Next we ordered the spicy tuna sashimi, and the spicy squid karrage. The spicy squid was absolutely delicious. The spicy tuna sashimi was good, but had a somewhat mayo mixture on it. It still tasted great but I personally don't like mayo mixtures. Not the restaurant's fault. Then we tried the tonkatsu ramen. It was very good, but I think next time, this is a place where I definitely want to explore each and every item from the menu. This is the first restaurant where I have made that statement ever. Most places I try a few things and stick with that, but with the caliber of both the sushi and cooked goods here, I want to try everything. 5 stars for our first time. read more

Ozeki Japanese Restaurant - Sashimi platter - Japanese Near Me - Kelowna, British Columbia

I don't even know what to say! If anyone gave this a good review I don't understand it. I would expect that a state fair or McDonalds could have better sushi!! Wow it was so bad !! Service was okay but food was almost inedible.. read more

It was busy here when we arrived, always a good sign, but the wait was only a few minutes. Everything we ate was tasty and deep fried. We tried the deep fried lotus root and the spicy agedashi tofu, among other things. It was all very good. The only warning I have is that the tofu donburi has a whole egg on it. Most people might not care, but from the picture in the menu, it didn't look like it had egg. Overall the ambience and food was good. Would come here again. read more

I would have to agree, this is the best sushi i have had in k town.., although far from the best sushi I have had, I found the pricing pretty good and the food decent, if your in K town and looking for sushi, this is about as good as it gets here.. I had the dynamite roll and spicy tuna, tempura and salmon sashimi. The sashimi was the nice thick cut and very flavorful. Didn't taste at all like farmed salmon, I think it was wild... The spicy tuna was good, but if you told me it was something else, I would have believed you.. Wasn't very spicy and not very interesting, don't get me wrong... It was tasty, just not what I was expecting... The dynamite roll was small and nicely done if you prefer the small style which I do. The tempura was good, nicely cooked and flavorful, but the dip sauce a bit too sweet for me. But I am a bit sensitive to sweet... The one real complaint I had was it seemed they were trying to get me ordered a bit fast, and the tempura came last not first as I asked... Other than that good luck getting parking because of the pub next door... I would come back if ever out this way.. But I would save my appetite if I was heading to kamloops and I would rather go to oh OYA sushi... read more

Great prices and delivery after 5! Try the home made iced Tea and the crab rangoon. I had a bunch of hosa maki for under 3.00. I really hope this place suceeds down in the mission. read more

I have been a long time customer of Ozeki and have never had anything but great things to say about everything that I have tried. Lately though, it seems that the quality is slipping. One of my favorites has always been the Teriyaki Salmon with stir fried vegetables and rice. The portions have always been fair and there was lots of flavor. This quickly made it one of my favorites. Lately though, it seems that the salmon fillets have been getting smaller and thinner and the rest of the food is actually missing the flavor that made it so good. One of the largest problems with this dish now is that the salmon is coming out dry since the fillets are so thin. I am starting to lose confidence in one of my favorite lunch destinations. I am willing to give it another try or two in the hopes that they are just training another cook before I take my hard earned money elsewhere. C'mon Ozeki, pick up your socks and get back to the reason why you were so popular. read more

Went in yesterday for the first time in about two years, I remember having a pleasant experience there before. According to our server they had just renovated, the server was nice and walked us through the new menu items. We started getting some appetizers, the ebi chili was good. We got our sushi and sashimi right afterwards, the presentation overall left something to be desired. Some of the rolls were falling apart, and our smoke salmon had almost no flavor, really cheap fish obviously. Our tuna rolls were very uneven and loose, some rolls had all the tuna and one roll had only rice. The sashimi was terrible, very badly cut and I got a fish bone in one of my pieces, the octopus sashimi was recently defrosted and never rinsed off, still tasted like freezer water! read more

Went and had dinner with the family last night at Ozeki, it was absolutely fantastic. The tempera sauce for my tempera was delicious. The udon noodle was hot and taste. So for sure a place to check out. Five thumbs up read more

Japanese run Japanese restaurant. Recently returned to Ozeki for a lunch. I loved the rolls I ordered - from spicy tuna, negitoro to the ones the waitress recommended. Great, warm service, a very skilled real Japanese sushi chefs. I'll be back. read more

Horrible. Worst sushi I've ever had. Very disappointed. Sushi should be chilled. Everything was like warm. Would not recommend. Would never go back. read more

California Roll 8.2/10 Spicy tuna roll 3.2/10 Entirely different Japanese restaurant experience than I've ever had before. Great menu and excellent service. Would reccomend going here a few times to try the whole menu. Also make sure you try the green tea ice cream. read more

Husbando and I love Ozeki and it is our go to place for sushi in town. The atmosphere was renovated a year or two back, and while I liked the older style inside, the new inside is definitely modernized and clean. We prefer to sit in one of the rooms, but the food is incredibly quick and delicious regardless of where you sit. I've eaten most of the menu offerings at least once in the nine years I've been going, but I always get Dragon Eye roll, Tempura Apple roll, and either Ebi Sunomono or Miso Soup. Other favorites: Beef Teriyaki with Rice, Tempura Bento box, Edamame, Kani Tempura, Yam Tempura, Spicy Tuna wrapped in Cucumber, and their ice cream (often mango, coconut, and/or green tea). If you do happen to get a room style table be sure to take your shoes off and keep in mind that they are not sound proof (they're just tables!). I've overheard some weird things because people think they are in private enclosed rooms, or perhaps they just don't care what is overheard. read more

Costs 20% more than in Vancouver but is exactly the same quality as most hole-in-the-wall hangouts in Vancouver. Plus! It's not a hole-in-the-wall. It's quite a nice restaurant inside. I think I'd recommend it. read more

Always loved the food. Ordered pick-up and they got my order wrong and I called and said I would come get the rest of what was forgotten. I was willing to pay for the missing items but instead they gave it to me for free and were incredibly rude and short with me. I'm not one to complain about free food but I'd rather be treated kindly, especially by individuals in the service industry.. I'm incredibly disappointed in the service I experienced. On a separate order, my boyfriend ordered tempura and a rainbow role. When we opened the box for the roll all of the avocado on the role had dark brown spots all over it and our tempura shrimp had fecal matter in it. NOT OKAY. Spoke to the restaurant and they said that they don't check the shrimp at all, just take pre-packaged shrimp and toss it in the fryer. Couldn't stomach eating anything else from this establishment. Honestly, BBB, take a looksee. read more

Used to love coming to Ozekis for dinner, once or twice a week. Staff was friendly and food was tastey, cheap, and fast. However, in the past month or so, they've hired new staff who are honestly rude and not very good at their job. The sushi rolls are now falling apart, and the tempura ever tastes fresh. Ozekis has lost their appeal to me. Only positive is the booth rooms they have, which feel more private. Gave them a handful of chances to change my mind, but I won't be returning any time soon. read more

This is the best, most fresh, sushi I have had in Kelowna. Delicious and modestly priced. Also, it has a very authentic atmosphere.

I phone in ordered takeout tonight, got there after 20 min which I was told will be ready in. I paid and saw some takeout containers on the table thought that was mine, but the waitress said I still have to wait. After another 20 min, she wrap that exact container I saw earlier and gave it me along with other food. Does it really need 40 minutes to cook a Dinner for one combo? I drove home 10 minutes max, and the tempura is watery soft and cold, and I got beef instead of chicken all cold. Ok, maybe I didn't tip, the waitress shouldn't do that! I really don't understand how this restaurant stay there for this many years. read more

Good price, great service. Variety of fresh sushi. Very nice restaurant. Would recommend to all if visiting the local area.

O-zeki is one of the best places I've ever eaten! The atmosphere was perfect and made me feel very calm and relaxed. There are huge portions for the price, the tonkotsu ramen standing out to me as perhaps one of the best bowls of ramen I have ever eaten. The food was simply lovely, and perfect for our special occasion. read more
