    Came at 5pm on a Thursday, restaurant was quiet and mostly empty until the end of the meal when it got busy and loud. Staff was wonderful and attentive. Food and drinks are great but pricey. Love this place for a special occasion!

    Great food, ambience and service from Ozumo. There’s a variety of menu items to choose from from sushi to cooked. It’s best to make reservations as it gets very crowded and busy at times. Service is always very good. It’s my go-to place!

    The food was so good! I try to order something different every time. The green curry salmon was delightful and the only reason I didn’t finish it was because I wanted to save room for pineapple cake…which was amazing! Staff was friendly, attentive and brought out a sample of the curry sauce for me so I can see if I could handle the spice level. I love coming here! I need to try the sushi bar next.

    It was my sons birthday, he really wanted wagyu steak so we came here. The staff was so involved in the creation of an amazing experience. Kitty was our service she was so sweet and answered all the questions we had on the different kinds of steak options. We were given many amazing recommendations and at the end of the meal we were surprised with a Prosecco toast and a small chocolate devils cake to cheers my son’s birthday. The environment was lovely and the product was as amazing as we had predicted. 10 out of 10 recommend !
