    Sushi and sashimi lunch
    Meghan N.

    We picked up takeout for lunch. I ordered the sashimi and sushi lunch. The nigiri was a little on the small side, but the fish was fresh and tasty. The only roll it came with was California roll, which is cost effective for them, but a little disappointing for me. The pieces of salmon sashimi were just right. Wrapping the red snapper sashimi around sliced cucumber was a nice touch. The California roll was quite tasty though, one of the best I've had in a long time. The salad was typical iceberg with some carrot, and cabbage. The salad dressing was a creamy version of the standard ginger dressing. It was a little disappointing though, with not a lot of flavor. I prefer the more traditional sushi joint ginger dressing. The miso soup was really good though, a nice ratio of tofu and seaweed. I'd like to visit again and try to dine in next time.

    This place is great. We love it. Great food and good family time. They have a great menu with lots of options. A huge sushi menu too. The table service is great and prompt and pretty impressive with how busy they are.

    "tuna tataki" absolutely was not seared, thinnest pieces i've ever sean, had BBQ seasoning, and only gave 6 pieces... for $12.

    been going here for 7+ years, normally have a good experience. messed up my tuna tataki, brought me the wrong rice, floors are stickier as can be. people waiting on carry out blaring videos on there phone for all to hear for over 20 minutes, not one worker said a word to them. i had to ask for a box and leave. at least my sushi was alright, besides my $15 roll having 1/2 the amount of scallops than normal.

    Baby Octopus appetizer
    Amy S.

    We took our kids here for lunch for their first experience at a Hibachi steakhouse, and we all enjoyed it. Our chef was very entertaining, singing songs, flipping utensils, and squirting water in the kids' mouths. Our family tried steak, chicken, and shrimp. All were good, though the chicken was a little dry. Personally, I really enjoyed the fried rice and especially the veggies even more than the meats. We also opted to try the "Baby Octopus" appetizer, which we didn't like at all, but that's just personal taste. See my photo- it's one serving- a tiny little octopus on lettuce, served cold in a bitter tasting sauce. We like to try things we've never had before, but this is one we won't order again! There's not much ambiance- we found the restaurant itself to be kind of dark and shabby feeling; the design was mostly worn off on all our plates.

    Have always received good service here. The hibachi is always a fun experience. But I really like to pop in here grab a booth and get some sushi.

    Good food and fun atmosphere. They started removing oven hoods though when we were still eating.

The rice in it is hardly seasoned and just didnt taste "wow". Their yakisoba is a weird medley of rice noodles in some brown sauce they call yakisoba (like they didnt even use the actual noodles!) I got the katsu kimchi jiggae... they put a perfectly fried katsu INTO the bottom of the jjigae..... like it was wet and sad. And for some reason my son had a full bowl of rice and mine was only half full?? The kimchi flavor was off... almost tomatoey? Needless to say.. my husband barely ate his yakisoba. I took 95% of my stew home. To top it off as we were checking out, they came and said they were having some troubles with conmecting tp their card people... if we could ..pay with...cash? And i had to send my husband out to an atm... and then it came back online. In all this they couldnt even give a small discount for this situation. I am sad to say I am likely not to return... this round of ownership change has brought the place down.

    Absolutely excellent sushi from the selection to presentation and flavor. We went for lunch and had…read morejust 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.

    We decided to come here for lunch on Saturday after a long morning of errands - my husband was…read moreoptimistic 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

It was super tasty. It's really peaceful here right now and I like that cause of other restaurants, there's people constantly talking and making a lot of background noise and she gets overwhelmed.

Her big sister helped her get a plate of good healthy stuff before she got the ice cream.) My kids are telling me this place is as good or better than the one up in Sydney. We eat there every once in a while but now we've got a new place to stop for decent Asian buffet and it's a bit closer.
