We came to Ozeki with some friends on a night when all of us felt like sushi and had babysitters for the kids - the perfect storm! The place is located on a corner in a small strip mall and despite the relatively plain exterior, we all were very excited about what was going on inside. Upon entering there is a lovely sushi bar where you can watch the fishy art is being made, there is plenty of standard seating throughout the restaurant, as well as an area with more traditional Japanese type seating to the right and up some stairs. Im not sure what that set up is called, but it looked very nice. The sake menu was good, at least by my fairly elementary standards. There were something like 10 options ranging from $15-$60. We opted for the second least expensive stuff - the classy move! The evening started with a poke salad that was quite nice - good flavor, lots of meat and roe for that lovely little crunchy pop. The real deliciousness though came was with the sushi options. As most will advise, get he Ahi Tower! Its one of the prettiest sushi dishes weve had and was a great one for 4 of us to split. Nice tuna, crab, roe and plenty of different sauces. We buddies up with a number of rolls as well and they were all above average. Not the best eve, but well worth their delicious weight in fish. At the table we had a Salmon skin, a Yakima roll, a Boyfriend roll and a California. The favorite was the Yakima roll with BBQ eel- good flavors and nicely presented. Good quality stuff with enough variety and creativity to keep us entertained, but not so much that it made choosing cumbersome. We love our choices....but only within reason! A salad, the tower, the rolls and the sake were just right for the group. It left just enough room for ice cream down the road! Our whole experience was pretty uniformly pleasant - good food, relatively quick service, a nice variety and friendly servers. Its not high end, but that also means the prices arent high end either. Its that great spot on the quality/price curve where the lines intersect - Nerd alert! End of the day, the sushi here was good enough that well be back and, at present, its lobbying to be our go to spot for fish delights in the area!

We stopped to eat here on our way through town. We are Japanese and grew up in Hawaii, so its hard to find Japanese food up to the standard were used to. This place had the typical Japanese / Korean mix found in almost all "Japanese" restaurants weve been to since moving to WA. The place was nice and the staff pretty friendly, the sushi was good, at pretty typically pricey sushi prices. We also ordered a katsu-don for our son, and it was 95% rice and cabbage, with about a two ounce piece of meat (if that), for $13.00. I looked at the stars before we went, but should have read the other reviews. Pretty good for sushi, but not for other Japanese food.

Rather disappointed by authenticity. My nigiri was a slab of fish rather than a thin slice. Could hardly choke down the first one and didnt even dare attempting the second. There rolls were mediocre, and a poor selection of what I would consider authentic rolls. Definitely Americanized sushi. The service was decent. The waitress was a tad bit uniformed on the sushi and sake.

We really enjoy Ozekis ... the owners are very friendly and welcoming .. and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. The tatami room is fun .. and my college-aged kids insist that a trip home for holidays is never complete without a meal at Ozekis ! d

Love this restaurant. I go here for special occasions. Its a bit pricey but the food is exceptional. Love the decor, the people are nice and willing to explain anything on the menu. I get the Bento Box lunch, its delicious and you get a lot of variety.

Went in and needed to order enough for 10 people. The lady was very nice and helpful. The gentleman making the rolls is so fast. It was ALL great and tasted wonderful. I definitely would recommend. We will definitely be back.

Excellent service and even better food! We came during Valentines day expecting it to be crazy busy. While it was mostly full the atmosphere was quiet and enjoyable! I would recommend this place a 1000 times over!

Definitely the greatest spot in Yakima for Sushi. The original entree dishes are ok, but they would be better if the portions were bigger and meatier. To emphasize, GO FOR THE SUSHI ROLLS!!!!! Bomb dot com

It was really nice but way more costly then even the really nice sushi places that I normally go to. Though it genuinly seems like its the only noteworthy one in the Yakima area.

The hostess was able to help me figure out what I could eat, with pregnancy AND a gluten allergy. I have also eaten here before being pregnant, and the rolls are awesome.
