Ozumo Santana Row

“The new Ozumo is very different than SF – lighter, more izakaya, casual approach than the heavy, more formal San Francisco dining room.  This is a more serious, authentic approach to Japanese than the previous incarnation (Blowfish) but totally approachable as it is a bit more casual.”

“Great atmosphere to be in while enjoying sushi and some sake. I would recommend trying their sashimi and giddy geisha.”

“Just tried the sushi at Ozumo and I loved it. I need to come back and try more but this first round was better then most sushi places in the bay.”

“I love Izakaya so we had to try the Yakitori Skewers. We ordered the Tebayaki (Chicken wing), Gyu (Beef tenderloin), Buta Bara (Pork belly) and Kinoko (Shiitake mushroom) -everything was cooked to perfection, juicy and tasty! ”

“Recognized some of my favorites from SF, and appreciated that the executive chef for this location took the time to develop some on-brand dishes that were unique, and still delicious.”

“Ozumo is finally open in Santana Row. We’ve been to the sf location many times and this is a first for us. … we ordered a sake, a cocktail called the Ghinza sapphire, unagi sashimi and chicken karaage. Everything was good.”

“This has become my favorite spot for lunch on Santana Row. …  It’s always very chill here, the atmosphere is calm and of all the restaurants on Santana Row (I’ve been to them all because I work here) they have the best food and the best air conditioning. ”

“Ozumo is anything but a standard Japanese restaurant, they very thoughtfully and elegantly bring the BEST and truest Japanese experience but add a ton of fun and impeccable easy-going service…without fail, and this new location is no exception.”

“Went to Ozumo for dinner on Friday night and a DJ started spinning at 11:00PM. Shout out to Rob Floyd for hooking us up with bomb drinks.”

“Danny the manager was super knowledgeable when I couldn’t decide on the sake. For all those sake lovers.. he knows his stuff.”
