Went there for a curry soup fix. I used to eat curry ramen all the time in Los Angeles and San Francisco and missed it. They don't serve ramen at Ozeki, but udon and soba are noodles so I figured, "why not try it". The udon noodles were fine but the soup wasn't in a curry broth, it was in a thick curry gravy and that was very disappointing. I love Japanese curry, but the flavor to theirs was strange and almost tasted like wood. I ate the noodles and left the "broth". The other items I ordered were the cold tofu and a CA roll (I was still hungry from not eating my "broth"). Those items were okay, nothing to write home about. I realize this is Oxnard, but still...come on. read more

I ordered a chicken yakisoba for take out. Their food is made to order so it took about 10 minutes for my food to come out. I noticed there were a lot of people eating here which is a good sign to me. The yakisoba had a good flavor albeit a tad on the salty side. But they do not skimp on the meat and veggies. Overall it was good but not great. I would give it a try next time I am in town. read more

Ozeki Noodle - Order counter and kitchen - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

Wonderful food but insufficient air handling system leaves dining room patrons smelling like fried food. Needed shower...

One of my favorite places to eat in the Ventura area. Their tempura udon is absolutely delicious and they never skimp when I ask for extra shitake. The price is very affordable. They have never given me any reason to question their restaurant and I have taken quite a few people there. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. Depending on the time of day you visit it can be extremely packed or empty so I make sure to avoid lunch hours. I have ordered via pickup but the food is by far better when fresh from the kitchen. Its not a high end restaurant, and could easily get mistaken for a chain like pick up sticks a few doors down, but for the price and the quality of food I give it five stars, easily. read more

Ate here for lunch - lunch specials include a bento box or a mix and match noodle bowl with rice bowl. I had the beef noodle bowl (hot) and my dining partner had the shrimp and noodle dish. All in all very good. Cost less than $25 before tip which included two sodas. The noodle bowl was ok, without adding hot sauce the flavor would have been bland. I appreciated this as I knew there wasn't much sodium added to the dish. Friendly service and clean! We'll be back. read more

First time here. Seems like a great little Japanese noodle and sushi place. Low cost and good quality food. Service was great. Dessert was Modichi. It's ice cream wrapped in a soy bun DELICIOUS. Really just a great local place. No chain food here. read more

My family and I are Ozeki Noodle regulars. This place is consistently good time and again. The ingredients always taste fresh. The staff are always smiling and friendly. Don't leave until you try the Tempura Green Tea Ice cream. That is the ultimate show-stopper. So delicious, you won't want to share! read more

Ozeki Noodle - Tempura green tea ice cream - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

First time and not impressed with the environment very plane jane and eery. It kinda of reminded me of a hospital cafeteria. The food was whatever. Had better. Heard their ramen is good but the waitress forgot mine so wouldn't know. The crunch roll was odd for flavor and not a big fan for the miso soup or edamame. Only two things that were somewhat good was the teriyaki chicken and veggie tempura but other than like I said I had better. Felt it was a waste money and won't be going back. read more

I used to come here when I worked in the same area many eons ago, and this evening I had the most random craving for Ozeki Noodle. I came in and was immediately greeted with a smile and welcoming front of house/back of house restaurant fusion. I have worked in the restaurant and bar industry for over a decade now and I absolutely hate yelp (no offense yelp, you do help me with the "open now" filter after the bars close). Anyways, I have the day off of any professional agenda per usual, so I moseyed in wearing a cut off, Reddit infused post cyber goth, pre sea punk muscle tee and high wasted jeans that have been treated as if they have been tossed around relentlessly though-out money-grubbing foster care homes, as well as a slicked back Mohawk. I'm a nice, personable guy but I get treated like a thieving, tax rapist at a lot of places if I'm not dappered out... Anyways! I came in to put a Togo order in and the lovely (sorry if I misnamed you) Ericka San was a refreshing, lovely, and positive energy exhuming human that was eager to help and make me feel comfortable. Which is rare when you're putting in a Togo order. I ordered the hot udon which contained basically a combination of all the other ones, and I asked for something to drink while I wait since I was finished with all of my errands for the day. I told her I fancied dry sake, the drier the better, and her beverage knowledge was top tier, like #1 test taker of the SATS during my high school stint. I trusted her judgement and was more than impressed. I would have ordered another but I was taking my food Togo. They hooked it up with a bountiful supply of edamame, all the Togo items I could have asked for and even more. I love this place and the owners/servers/chefs are all people I would love to be my family or at least friends. If you haven't been here in awhile check it out again. For some random craving, turned into a beautiful customer service experience, to make me post a review on yelp after years of yelp neglect, you can trust me that you need to come into this hidden diamond in the rough. Don't you dare close your eyes, your tummy will only feel better Thanks again everyone at Ozeki Noodle, I'll be back soon. Stay real read more

Had the bbq beef bento box which the girl there recommended. Good portions and flavor. Also one of the best miso soups I've had. I don't usually like miso soup. read more

My family and I all love this little place for authentic Japanese food in a strip mall in Oxnard. Been coming here for years. It's so good!

Very good service, and the food is wonderful. The Oxnard Roll is fantastic if you like a little jalapeño! read more

Ozeki Noodle - Wow. Great quality and good value. - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

We were traveling through Oxnard and found this little place on Yelp. Had good udon and beef bowl. Not really a fan of the sushi, we got the rainbow roll. Good service overall. read more

Nooodles Kid got Miso soup & 4 California roll slices. I got noodles and spicy pork over rice. All excellent. All prices seemed appropriate - service excellent. I'm knocking 1 star off because my stomach didn't feel that great later - not at all sure the cause. I would go back in a heartbeat though. read more

Have been coming here on and off since it originally opened I get the same meal each time cause I just love it and it's very filling... plus price is good! I get he Oyaka Don yum.... read more

Ozeki Noodle - Oyaka Don - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

I was there a year ago and really liked their Tempura Don but then i went back just last weekend ... umm.. the Tempura Don is a little salty or too much sauced drizzled on top. I liked this place because everyone there is real japanese... usually that is a sign that the food is authentic. umm.. this place is a good lunch venue when you are on your way up to Santa Babara or Camrillo from LA ~ read more

Ozeki Noodle - Small and cozy ... All real jap people - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

Hot Soba noodle soup was absolutely delicious. Galbi bento box was great as well. This is real Japanese owner and food, not Korean-Japanese. Green tea ice cream was especially good as well. read more

Ozeki Noodle - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

Always pleased with this gem of Japanese food - my go to is the Tenzaru Zoba and hubby's is the special udon with beef bowl. We usually get a sushi roll of some sort. Food is onolicious! The ladies that wait on us are always so gracious! This is our #1 spot for Japanese food! read more

My boyfriend and I were craving for sushi and so we just headed to Ozeki. It was 3:59 so I rushed to ask for a chicken terriyaki bento box for 8.50 because if it turns 4:00... We had to pay 11.50 for it haha.. I ordered a bbq beef don. it was hella good. Not fatty, with mushrooms and onions. It was so comforting. read more

Was pretty good. The only reason I don't at least give a 4 star is because when I went I was not greeted or waited on for a long time. In fact a family that came after me was tended to before me and the owner lady (I'm guessing) kept looking at me like I was thug life or something. It was so weird. Just because of the customer service part I probably won't be back. To be fair there was another younger girl who served my dinner and she was nice. read more

Ozeki Noodle - Spicy pork dinner box - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

Service with a smile and prompt. Beef bowl is "oishi" and the ice tea is refreshing. Our anticipation of service was short lived because our meal was "done" in sixty seconds! We were only in the door a few seconds when we were sitting in comfortable seats with a window view sharing generous servings of soup, noodles and beef. If there is an Ozeki Noodles near you, hey this sounds like a commercial. It's good. read more

I love this place so much. The service, the food, the atmosphere, everything. The servers are always so sweet and kind. The prices are extremely reasonable and the quality of the food is amazing. I love the udon bowls, especially the mountain vegetable one. I don't reside in SoCal, but if I did, I would go to Ozeki all the time :) read more

Maybe there's some significance in the fact that I chose to eat HERE because I was craving a fresh salad. Ozeki's isn't amazing but it's not bad! Before the owners specified that it's ONLY for children 10 and under (or something to that effect), my go-to menu item was the Kid's Combo with either Teriyaki chicken or bulgogi (Korean BBQ'd beef). It comes with four pieces of California Roll, a scoop of ice cream, and (if memory serves me correctly) a small bowl of hot udon noodles and soup. Recently, I ordered the Bento Box dinner with Teriyaki salmon. For $11.95 (the dinner price) it comes with a substantial side salad with their signature light dressing, two pieces of gyoza (fried dumpling), four pieces of California Roll, miso soup, and a scoop of rice. The salmon deffffinitely hit the spot and the salad was exactly what I wanted. Even with the help of a friend who had ordered the soba, I had to save the leftovers. Most menu items, with the exception of the dinner bento box options, are under $10. The food is yummy and the service is on point, although one of the older waitresses is hearing-impaired and may have a little difficulty getting your order down (she's still super sweet!). The restaurant is well-lit, yet cozy. It's a nice place for some food and conversation, maybe a date;) And yes, you should order dessert :) read more

Best green tea tempura ever!!! My absolute fave! Cheap California rolls too! Awesome spot! read more

They are what they are an inexpensive noodle house. Nothing great but OK. If they still have it, try the kinpira it's pretty good and not something easily found outside Little Tokyo. read more

Good food quiet place good value. Noodle soups are served very hot and ingredients are good quality overall I like the place but a bit pricey if you like sashimi with the soup. read more

See all

First time there! Staying out of town and saw this place as I briefly stopped at a Starbucks. Staff was really friendly! I entered 10 minutes till close time and they still sat next down and served me with no rush and the utmost politeness! Would definitely return to try other items on the menu! Had the noodle soup! Very good! Also had the rice bowl with chicken and egg (can't remember the name, sorry lol). Definitely recommend this place! read more

Ozeki Noodle - Noodle soup and chicken, egg and rice bowl! - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

Good service awful food. The rolls are off tasting. The ginger tastes like it has artificial sweeteners. The iced tea as a weird floral flavor. If you are going to serve iced tea just serve a plain black tea and not this garbage. the rest of the food was bland and unappetizing. read more

I took my daughter out for a special night out and she loved it. She ordered the Udon noodles with the California roll. She loved that it also included an ice cream scoop. She ordered the green tea ice cream and it was super yummy. I order the beef bowl and it was truly filling. I also tried their dynamite roll and it had a little kick to it but was still good. I usually don't like spicy but it was just enough spice. Now the service was great. They kept coming over to fill our water cups and asking if we needed anything else. But they asked in a very polite way. We never felt rushed. It was a nice experience and we will definitely come back again. read more

Tony Roll....my first time eating it. excellent. you can taste the different portions of vegetables. I'll need to come back. The Nabiyaku Udon did not have the depth of the normal udon soups, and that made it great. Soup was very refine. Husband and son ate the Beef Bowl... they loved it. I suppose when one is hungry, just go for the meats. The beef is marinated beautifully, almost as if they used coriander. ... maybe. ... peppered ever so lightly. Fabulous. Well be back the next time we visit Oxnard. Lovely family owners, their son does them proud. read more

AMAZING. Each time i visit they never fail to impress me read more

Ozeki Noodle - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

I went to Ozeki Noodle for the first time Monday, December 23 and was not sure if I could find something I could like on the menu because I usually like American food. Boy was I surprised! I asked the waitress what they have that was beef or chicken breast that was not very spicy. She suggested the barbecue beef bowl. This bowl was huge, with lots of meat that was very tender. I really appreciate that recommendation. To top it off, when the waitress came over after we were finished, I thought she was going to bring us our check, but to our surprise, some anonymous lady paid for our check! I asked the waitress if we could thank the lady, but the waitress said that she wanted to be anonymous. I hope that lady reads this review, I am in a wheelchair, and me and my companion want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We hope you have the best holiday season ever! And someday I hope to pass it on. Happy holidays to our anonymous friend! read more

Amazing flavors, perfectly proportioned rolls. I love the veggie rolls. They are the best ones I've had, with soft and well-cooked rice, which is such a vital component in sushi. And I am not even a rice person however, these chefs are experienced and this is our go-to sushi location. Miso soup is tasty, rich and flavorful. Customer service is always high, they know how to serve you. I am happy to have found this tasty hidden gem. My spouse truly enjoys this restaurant as well. Prices seem a bit high though, and increasing. Other than that I highly recommend them. read more

My mate and I love this place. They know just what we want and it is always wonderful. The udon noodle soup is great and the service is always great. read more

I've been coming to ozeki noodle for 17 years now- ever since I figured skated at the ice rink! Their food is consistently incredible- I always get the chicken yakisoba & sometime their sushi! Everything is always made fresh and delicious. The employees are super sweet too! Always have a smile on their face- even with masks on ;) I love Ozeki!! read more

Best kept secret in town. Small, but the best noodles ever and the kindest, sweetest wait staff you could imagine. I know I will never make a broth this good. Whatever they put in their soups is so addictive. read more
