We decided to come here for lunch on Saturday after a long morning of errands - my husband was optimistic based on reviews glowing it was a "hidden gem". We love sushi - travel all the way to columbus just to have some from the unofficial "japantown" at kenny center Upon arrival at 2 pm, not super busy but the store appeared bright and well decorated. We were directed to pick our preferred seating. Menus were brough quickly, drink orders we taken and brought out quickly. Sprites, came with a cup of ice. This was were it went downhill. My husband is allergic to shellfish, and we eat out understanding there is a chance of cross contamination based on what we order. He had a mild reaction - we determined his reaction was from the glass with ice, which indicates it was not washed well. Not a good sign... We ordered house lo mein, king salmon nigiri, tuna nigiri, tuna roll, and one chicken and vegetable hibachi. Sushi? The rice was long grain and unseasoned... it fell apart as my husband picked it up. The fish was.. ok.. not wowed. Even the king salmon was...just salmon and not anything amazing. My tuna roll never made it. My husband said this was the first time he had bitter ginger... he spat that back out - ginger is suppose to be a palate cleanser... Lo mein? Was ok. It was not greasy, which is what I usually encounter. Noodles were soft, but ok. Flavor.. lacking.. and there was a notcieable amount of sauce at the bottom.. so it was too runny. The hiabachi? The fried rice, saddest fries rice ever. It was hard middle and .. flavor was offputting.. this is coming from a girl that was raised to eat rice everyday in many forms. I love durian, and this rice manage to offput me.... the flavor was just weird. The hibachi chicken and veggies were the best part..sauce flavor was great and the veggies were cooked very well and chicken was juicy. So overall... would not recommend due to cleanliness (based on contact contamination from a cup) and... food was just meh read more

First time ordering from Ozu 852 Chinese Restaurant. I got a large fried rice, 8 crab rangoons, and a General Tso's dinner with rice--total was around $30. First impressions weren't great. The restaurant itself is small but clean, and I was greeted quickly, so the service side was fine. Unfortunately, the food didn't really match that same positive start. The fried rice looked and tasted pretty bland on opening--definitely needed extra seasoning. The General Tso's was okay, but nothing really stood out overall. The one highlight for me was definitely the crab rangoons. They were crispy, cooked well, and honestly the only thing I fully enjoyed. If I go back, that's probably all I'd order again. I tried adding soy sauce and the red sauce they include, which helped a bit, but it still didn't fully bring the meal together. Interestingly, after letting the leftovers sit overnight in the fridge, the flavors seemed to come out more and it tasted better the next day than fresh. Overall, I'd give it 2/5 stars. Not my favorite experience, but I might give them one more try in the future, mainly just for the crab rangoons. read more

Absolutely excellent sushi from the selection to presentation and flavor. We went for lunch and had just sushi then had to return for dinner just to try some other items. Service was perfect, greeted right away, friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The sushi presentation was beautiful with a lot of attention to the details. Minimal rice, just enough to surround the filling and hold together, not too much to overpower the texture. All three rolls were different with unique flavors and textures. The ones with multiple fish selections on them were done perfectly balanced with enough of each to taste them all. We also got the crab rangoon which were the sweetest little pillows filled with a creamy crab flavored goodness. For our return dinner visit we again got sushi and crab rangoon but also got two entrees so we'd have leftovers the next day for traveling. The fried rice isn't quite what we expected but the shrimp and beef were cooked perfectly and the flavors were spot on. I highly recommend Ozu852, especially for sushi, and will definitely return when in the area. read more

TL;DR: Convenient location off of I-70, but food was disappointing. Food: Tried a few udon and lo mein dishes, but unfortunately all were a bit bland flavor wise and overly salty. Cost: Cost seemed appropriate for the quantity of food but was a little much for the quality. Service: No issues with service at all. Overall: Location was key for choosing to try this place but unfortunately the food just wasn't up to expectations. Not likely to try again. read more

Best sushi in Ohio. Couple that with excellent service, you have a 5 star restaurant without the bling.

We were in town (Dayton) for a conference and had a hankering for sushi. This place seemed very popular, as I heard a regular chatting with the owner. If my hearing was correct, I overheard them say they were opening another restaurant. That would be nice, as there wasn't much parking and the restaurant was small. I got the Crab Rangoon (8 pieces) and it was skillfully prepared. They were very generous with the dipping sauce too. I also got Egg Drop Soup, and it was the largest serving of soup I have ever had! For $2.50! My husband got two different sushis. Unfortunately, the Sweet 16 Roll was unlike any type of sushi one could expect, being extremely sweet. I'll tell you why: spicy lobster salad, shrimp tempura, and fried BANANA, wrapped in soybean nori, with MANGO sauce on top. It was sweetness overload, and the pieces were too large. In fact, it appeared that there were a lot of items on the menu with mango sauce. The second sushi was some type of spicy tuna, and the pieces were too small. The disparity between the tastes and sizes made for a weird experience. But guess what? We returned the next night with six friends, and they enjoyed their meals. It was nice that OSU852 had an extensive menu to suit everyone's taste. read more

The food is fresh and authentic, service was meh. It's a small restaurant, and clean you can watch the guys make sushi.

We got a sushi platter carry out! It was pretty good. I do wish there were descriptions under all of the regular and special rolls so you knew exactly what you were ordering (especially some of the rolls with names- like Boston and Philadelphia, etc.) There were some rolls I wouldn't have ordered had I known, but oh well! This is the most economical sushi platter I've seen in this area! It was great to split between two adults and had lunch the next day! I plan to come back and try a variety of other rolls and other menu items. read more

The last few times have not been a good food experience and the last time was poor service and food. Was notified order was ready and got there and was told the did not receive it and was not ready!!! Advised I was notified and paid for online, they said they would get it ready after much discussion. I then had to wait another 25 minutes and then they discovered they had given my original order to someone else. They gave ONE Eggroll for my inconvenience!!' I don't eat egg rolls. I don't think they will be in our takeout rotation for a while or ever. I know they could care less, they already proved that. read more

Good food great vegetables, the sushi wasn't my jam. Place was very clean and the lady taking our order was perfectly friendly.

Great takeout place. I am always ordering carry-out on days when I just need a little girl dinner - and more often than not that is just a bunch of crab rangoons - but this place has yet to disappoint. Service has always been fast regardless of how busy it is inside. Go ahead and try it out. read more

We stopped here because friends of ours said it was great. They were right!! It's small and not a lot of seating. But we were early so we got right in. Service was fast and spot on. I had a beer, my SO had a glass of wine. We shared sushi: an Amazing roll, an Angle roll and a Majic roll. We loved all three. Delicious sushi, fast service, a good price. What's not to like! As Arnold said, 'I'll be back'! read more

PERFECT choice in the Englewood area!! Fast, friendly service, plenty of variety (Chinese and Japanese options!!) and reasonable pricing. I had a "hearty" appetite after hiking the trails in two nearby parks, and not familiar with the area, I checked here on Yelp to see what looked interesting, and this came up. A little tough to find (whacko GPS!!) but it's in the little shopping center/strip of stores right across the street from Kroger. Take your time going over their menu, and be sure to check out their specials board as well. At first, I thought I just might order a few apps, but ended up getting one app (shrimp shumai) and a "magic roll," which was just about the prettiest sushi presentation I've seen in a while. I wanted more, but was full, so stopped with those two choices, but will definitely check them out again, next time... read more

It's hard to find a place that does sushi, Japanese hibachi, and classic Chinese but this place does! Although I'd say each are average. The presentation could be a bit better for things like the salad. But overall we were happy with our meal. We happened to be in the area when we stopped by, but it's not a place I'd go out if my way to visit again. read more

I can't say enough how much I love this little place! The sushi and sashimi here is the best I've had in Ohio by far and I'm very very picky about my sashimi. I haven't tried the hibachi because I'm so blown away by the sashimi but I'll have to come back soon and try, everyone in the restaurant having it says it's amazing and the smell is awesome!!

This small business is very hardworking, kind, and I've never had a problem with my orders. The food tastes very good and I've never caught a foodborne illness coming from this restaurant, which can be a more likely issue with small businesses vs chain restaurants. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. There are a few specific dishes that aren't my favorite compared to other restaurants. The quality doesn't compete, but it's also understandable. Most definitely would recommend. read more

Service was quick and the Bento Box shrimp lunch special was delicious. Everything had good flavor and it seemed pretty busy

The Yelp reviews did not lie when i was looking for great sushi in north Dayton. If you're looking for dive sushi, this is your place! It's in an unlikely strip mall that gave me serious Breaking Bad vibes, but don't be scared because deliciousness awaits inside. I had the chirasi and sake. The chirasi was fresh, beautifully presented, and tasty. They had a good selection of sake, and I settled on the Rei junmai and was happy with my choice. The only negative I could mention about the sushi is it's heavily Americanized, with lots of deep fried fish and mayonnaise. If I am back in town, I may ask them to make me a chef's roll with just fish and rice, hold the Americanization. They were doing cash payments only the night I went, so go to the ATM first. They were doing brisk takeaway business, too. read more

We continue to love Ozu. I usually get shrimp, hubby usually gets chicken, but tonight I mixed things up with roast pork. WOW. Tender, flavorful, delicious. Not sure why they don't cut the pieces a bit smaller: I'd like to be able to use chopsticks instead of a knife, but still, fantastic food. We also ordered BOTH egg rolls AND spring rolls tonight (fried food cravings, apparently) and those were excellent as well. Highly recommend. read more
