excellent excellent service and food. I'm originally from ATL (just visiting Dallas) and am an avid Miso Soup lover and let me tell you... this is THE best miso i've ever had. I've been coming here everyday for lunch it's that good. You also have to try the Shrimp Tempura roll. Chris has been our server and it is such a pleasure seeing his bubbly personality everyday- i'll definitely miss this place when i go back to ATL. 20/10 read more

I had found out about Ozeki from a vegetarian/vegan food group that I'm in and was interested in trying them out for their fruit sushi items. We arrived around opening for lunch one day, staff was friendly and helpful. We liked the larger variety of sushi items, though with that the price is high compared to most if not all of the other sushi places we had been too. Which while we liked most everything we got it might end up making Ozeki more of an occasional stop for us vs one of regular rotation. Though my husband said with his non-sushi items he might consider coming back more often for the non-sushi items due to the quality and price point compared to other places we go too. For sure go check them out if you need more vegetarian/vegan sushi items for friends, family or yourself! read more

Omg I am in LOVE! Super happy this place opened near my office. As soon as you walk in, there is a sweet aroma of Japanese ramen in the atmosphere. The cooks are visible from the main eating area so you hear the clanking of pots and pans as you eat. I decided to try the tempura udon noodles and I was not disappointed. Warm rich noodles that tasted like my Japanese Grandma's home cooked meals on a cold day. (She passed away so anything that reminds me of her touches my heart...) There is such a wide variety of options to choose from on the menu that I can try something different for every day of the month. Legit Japanese food and the staff is also very friendly - I will definitely be back. Domo arigato! read more

They added cold boiled eggs and corn directly from the refrigerator to the ramen. Their eel role and shrimp tempura roll tasted identical. How? Perhaps they're trying to save money by using as few main ingredients as possible. read more

service was good... unfortunately, food is not... its like no msg instant noodles topped with corn and a thick slice of pork... if youre looking for authentic japanese ramen like ichiran or zundoya? this is definitely not it. whats worse is, price is steep due to location read more

The food was delicious, however the manager is TERRIBLE. like beyond terrible. We came in, order ramen and a rice bowl. however, we didn't know what the rice bowl completely was so we asked our server if they were served hot or cold and she said hot, so we ordered it. When it came out, it was a cold poke bowl and my husband doesn't like cold poke bowls so of course it wasn't what we wanted. so we asked the server girl if we could replace it with a second ramen bowl and when she went to the manager he came over and proceeded to read off the menu to us and made us feel like we were idiots and then asked if we wanted to MICROWAVE the bowl. to which we said no, and explained what happened with the server and he did not care one single bit just kept telling us that we couldn't get another bowl of ramen instead and that we had to pay for it fully even though we never even touched the bowl. so of course we just sent it back and let it go. BUT THEN he kept hovering around our table as we SHARED one single bowl of ramen like he was watching us for some reason? he then came back up to us and asked if we wanted it half off and we kindly asked him to just leave us alone to which he tried to explain the menu to us like we were children AGAIN and we told him to leave us alone again. We found out it was the poor server girls first day, so it's 100% not on her, but he was absolutely terrible. We would definitely come back over and over and over because the food was so good but never dealing with that man again. read more

The owner is the nicest person! Service is spot on! Prices are a little high but I feel like most places are like this in Southlake. The tempura is some of the best I've had. Great flavor! The sushi was really great. Creative ingredients. I think the sushi rice could be a bit better but it is for sure good enough. I haven't had the ramen yet but my friends did and they loved it! TONS of vegetarian options. read more

Great fresh sushi but on the expensive side. The presentation even takeout was definitely top notch. The fish was fresh. I got the Ozeki roll for $23 which is hefty but filling roll with variety of fish. The jalapeño bomb was also good and spicy too! Love the spicy mayo unagi sauce that it comes with. Will come back, conveniently located next to Hilton for those visiting read more

First timer here and the experience wasn't too bad at all! We were the only customer and the way they care for the environment with covid going around is very excellent! They have sanitizer wipes, hand sanitizer bottles in the table for you to keep safe and clean! Service is quite nice and very welcoming, no need to complain about it. - Food: Now I started off my appetizer with takoyaki since it's my all time favorite for any places that has this appetizer, and also ordered the sushi sampler platter, the salmon sushi(aka nigiri), Philadelphia rolls, and also the mountain rolls. All the rolls were amazing, the salmon nigiri melts in your mouth, Philadelphia rolls wasn't nothing to complain about since it's just salmon, avocado, cucumber and cream cheese, the mountain roll was quite flavorful and saucy to my liking! Overall: Would come back here and try out their ramen, or better yet more different sushi's! read more

Hubby and I love Good Ramen. We live in Near by and thought coming to Southlake we would be sure to find good ramen, especially with the price at $17 for a base pork ramen. There are MUCH better ramen out there for 1/2 the price. Service was great. But The ramen was not worth the price. read more

Food was amazing! I ordered the Kuro Ramen, and Philidelphia sushi roll. Service was great, food came out hot and fast, and the ramen was genuinely perfect. The ambiance was relaxing and it was extremely clean inside. read more

My wife and I enjoy seeking out sushi restaurants in our travels, and we stopped here totally unplanned. Wow. We were blown away. Excellent service and the sushi was some of the best we have ever had! We are very thankful we stopped in. Apparently the Owner had been a sushi chef in Californian and brought with him a fusion of flavors that we had never experienced in sushi before. Incredible! I would highly recommend the Red dragon roll. read more

A fairly new restaurant in the Southlake area (which was in need of a dedicated Izakaya/ramen shop), Ozeki is located right in the heart of Southlake Town Square, opposite from Truluck's. A rather small location, it is nevertheless decorated efficiently and with a modern flair. We started with three of the izakaya options (which probably wasn't the good idea knowing the size of most ramen bowls). I ordered the shrimp shumai, korokke, and jalapeno poppers. All three were fresh, delicious and in the case of the korokke: heartwarming. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen, which came with a significant amount of accoutrement and had the correct noodle size for the broth. The broth itself was very creamy, and not overly salty as some can be. Only half an egg was included, which is not the case for most places. The chashu was good, although the cuts were uneven, with some having significantly more fat than the others. My mom got the tempura udon, which was good, although the broth was a considerably lighter dashi. The shrimp aren't tempura...they are breaded, which was a disappointment. We left incredibly full, and quite satisfied. I can imagine this being a good spot to grab a bowl, especially in the cold weather. read more

We came here for a late dinner as it is right across from the hotel we were staying at. We were seated quickly, it did feel like we were being rushed when we got there, but the employees were still polite to us and made sure we had all that we needed. The tables have disinfecting wipes on them so we thought that was great! They have outdoor seating as well. All of the staff was masked and had gloves. All of the food came out on skillets which we thought was different. We had the chicken teriyaki and the Bulgogi. The bulogogi was fantastic, it did taste like the chicken teriyaki was burnt but that may be from it coming out on a skillet. We would def. try a second time if we're in the area read more

Early dinner (@5-ish) and starving, we chose Ozeki because it's newish, bored of our usual haunts and we hadn't been, sooo... Of course it was empty, so we had our choice of seats. Everyone of the servers said hello. It was our server's second day (no prob - gotta start sometime) and she asked for our drink orders - Ozeki margarita for me, house cab sauv for hubby - plus an order of spicy garlic edamame to start, while we perused the menu. She came back a couple of minutes later to verify our order as a martini and something not a cab sauv. Again, not a prob, we were not in a hurry. However, there's no martini on their drink menu. She was switched to "runner" and a new server attended to us. Strange...for the rest of the evening I was asked if I wanted another martini (we just giggled) On to the food... Spicy edamame: DELISH! read more

I got kuro ramen. Soup is better than I expected. However, too much oil. A bit less would be better. Noodles: ok and that's it. Egg: I agree with the other review. Normal soft boiled egg, nothing's special Chasu: they need to work on this. It has a weird sour aftertaste. I only took 2 small bites of this Overall, I'd come back if I'm around to try more read more

Excited to try out ramen in Southlake. Didn't have very high expectations but still hoped it would be good enough to make me come back and visit again. Unfortunately that won't be the case. Service was great overall, but the food isn't good enough to make want to come back especially for the price. I tried the potato shrimp & takoyaki & eel roll & both ramens available. I enjoyed the potato shrimp the most. It had the most flavor and had a really nice texture to it. Eel roll - nothing special. Just your average eel roll. Takoyaki was alright, nothing about it stood out other than that it had more than one piece of octopus inside which was nice. The shoyu ramen was on the salty side. Toppings lacked flavor. The chashu was pretty good. The best part about the ramen. Egg just tasted like a soft boiled egg. No extra flavor there. Tonkotsu ramen tasted better than the shoyu, the broth was very flavorful still on the salty side but not as salty as the shoyu. Unfortunately they charge extra is you want any kind of spicy or hot sauce for your ramen. read more

Place was severely understaffed (during post COVID where a lot of folks are refusing to go back to work) but the food and service was still excellent! The ramen is surprising super rich and flavorful without being heavy! During COVID, the actually cleaned the tables and menus in front of you with Clorox wipes, which is a huge plus and reassurance. They even gave water bottles! Will def be back again! read more

Don't go here!!!! My wife and I called and ask if they took reservation. Ok, they said no. I understood . When I got there, they sat everyone with two empty booths left. The waiter said he couldn't sit us. Those were saved for 4 people. I looked around. There were no people waiting. I told him who are you waiting for? He said this is the weekend and people will come soon.... eventually. I told him I would for 5 mins for the 2 person table open up or he could just come to his sense and sat us in the booth. You know what he did? He tried to rush two patrons, who just finished and would like to sit a little longer out to yield the table to us. I told him why don't you sit us in the booth instead of reserving those for your "fathom" customers? I told him I am leaving and will write a review for this. In 10 mins, he managed to upset everyone. I have the following suggestions for the owner: 1) if the waiter is part of the ownership, good luck. This kind of managements style will not last in this kind of competitive environment. 2) if he is not part of the management, and decide this is the way to manage customer, fire the guy. We drove over to zen Japanese bistro a mile way. I have to wait a little but we were treated right. read more

Great tasting food, good service and nice decor & ambience. This restaurant is located in a really nice downtown area called Southlake Town Square. I visited this restaurant on a Friday evening with my family. We were seated quickly and served by a very pleasant waitress who offered recommendations for food and drinks. We had their ramen (best ramen I've tasted in a long time), chicken dish and different sushi entrees. Everything was delicious, including their margaritas! The only complaint I have is that it was a bit overpriced.... but it was a nice experience so I will be coming back for "date night" read more

I loved it! The atmosphere was great and the employees were friendly. I got the kuro ramen and as a garlic lover, it was perfect and balanced well. The noodles were just chewy enough without it being tough. The broth was fabulous and the portion size was huge. Definitely will be returning. read more

Ozeki is a Asian cuisine restaurant that packs wonderful flavors into their food. My husband and i went there Saturday night, it was busy but very service. Our waiter was not the best. He didn't check on us and had a bad attitude. So technically our waiter was the manager. He was amazing. Great attitude, wonderful personality and very attentive. We got 3 items spicy Salmon rice bowl for me, Salmon teriyaki hot plate for my husband, and a spider roll to share. My rice bowl was amazing perfect spice, fresh salmon, the only thing i wasn't a fan of was the amount of seaweed but my husband loved it so it was fine. His salmon hot plate was amazing the only thing about it was it was splattering sauce everywhere and the waiter put it on the edge and got sauce on my husbands pants, but the flavor of the food was amazing and the veggies were great also. The spider roll was huge. Very good and flavorful. I'm usually not a fan of tempura rolls but this one was good. This place was a little expensive but worth it. read more

Loved this place for a friendly mid afternoon gathering with friends sharing appetizers. They were so good, we had to order more! I really want to return to try out other menu options.

We just came back to the states after spending 3 years in Japan and really craving a bowl of ramen. The service was amazing, and the portion size was typical to what we were used to. The spicy garlic edamame is delicious and they have Japanese drinks that made the visit even more nostalgic. Highly recommended and will be eating here whenever the chance arises. read more

The first disappointment that I experienced here was watching the server clamor to take the order of the other guests and cater to the table next to me while I sat and waited just to receive a menu, let alone receive my food. I ordered the Jalapeño Popper appetizer, and it came with my Louisiana Roll rather than prior, although I must say that it was delicious and the tuna was very fresh. The Louisiana Roll, however, was a let down. I expected way more spice for something named after the Cajun state. Sadly, I wasn't even asked if I wanted a refill of water until I was almost finished, something I noticed did not happen with the other patrons. For the price I paid, I could have gone to one of the many other sushi restaurants and been more fulfilled. This one is a hard pass for me. read more

Tried Udon and Ramen. Tempura udon got a burnt Ebi-furai (fried shrimp) instead of Tempura shrimp (so, it is not technically "tempura udon"). Ramen was too fatty and salty and my son who is a ramen fanatic, couldn't finish the bowl . Unfortunately, this is not an authentic Japanese restaurant. read more

This spot could be great. It is very hit or miss. I also think it needs to really spend time keeping the place clean and kept up. Really, the food can be awesome, but yesterday and today the food was very mediocre. I had the Chashu Bowl and sushi. I have to say their sushi is pretty consistent, in a good way. However, I always feel like their food is over cooked and over sauced. The last two bowls I had were not edible. The pork belly was only fat, no pork. The bowl I had yesterday was over sauced and bland at the same time. Their ramen is pretty good. However, at these prices, they need better service and a cleaner atmosphere. I feel like the team running the place is overwhelmed and needs a restaurant whisperer to come in and help them out. read more

I walked in, first thing the guy asked was for two which is completely fine .had I told him yes then proceeded to walk out he would be left confused . which I was so confused when he asked me am I being seated and I told him my four year old daughter needs to use the restroom right now. He then proceeded to give me an escort or refer me to another buidling to use the facilities which I felt very disrespected bc this area is a public place Southlake town square has never given me issues until I walked into this establishment! I always understand the right to refuse service but to do that to a four year old girl is asinine , and completely outrageous . read more

Veggie Ramen and fried chicken rice bowl were sloppy. They messed up the order and didn't bring the combo meal we ordered. The fried chicken was over cooked and didn't look fresh. Not coming back here again. Not worth the money they are charging. read more

I came here for lunch and dinner with very different service. Lunch (5 stars): I had the karaage bowl and it was awesome. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. There was a lot of chicken vs rice which is also great. The service I got was amazing as well with the host making sure I was comfortable, but I'm not sure if it's because the place wasn't very busy at the time I went. Dinner (1 star): Came here again after I had a good experience for lunch, but it was completely different this time. When I first came in there were plenty of tables, but no one seated me. Waiters came passing me by with no food that they were serving actively. Waited 5 minutes for I'm guessing the host (different guy from lunch time) to seat me. There were also 2 couples waiting behind me who he also seated. After being seated he gave menus to the 2 couples but not me. I had to get up and grab a menu for myself. I ordered a karaage appetizer and a sashimi entree. The entree came first and when I almost finished it the appetizer came. The karaage was great as before and the sashimi was good except for the Tuna. The 2 pieces of tuna were tasteless and rubbery and honestly thought I might get sick from it. They also gave me a soy sauce tray after I almost finished. I don't normally use it but still. I also had the strawberry japanese cheesecake which wasn't bad, but also wasn't great. read more
