My husband brought me here tonight. Everything was perfect.
Pricey but it was all worth it. We had ate and had an awesome time! 😊
We came in without a reservation but we instantly got a table. *lucky!*
Ambience was neat, placement (covid precautions) was good.
Food waiting was not too long. Waiter was extremely helpful and attentive.
You can tell that he was passionate with his job. 👍 he really did a good impression.
Overall. Definitely one of our faves now. 🤤💕

Everything my wife and I ordered was excellent. I had the Chilean seabass and she had the ahi tuna. We also ordered a Cesar salad to share and a crunchy sushi roll. The flavors were perfect and the service was as well. The atmosphere is very neat too. I highly recommend checking OZ out if you haven't already.

Worst Birthday lunch EVER!!! First off the white chairs need a good scrubbing they are filthy!!!! So bad I seriously didn't want to sit on them. The restaurant wasn't busy went just after 1. The restaurant was not busy only 2 other tables there. I had to ask to be waited on. Then it took about 45 minutes to get our food. My daughter and I ordered the The teriyaki chicken with California roll and steamed vegetables. However not sure what they call steamed vegetables because it looked like regurgitated bird throw up. Not one thing on the plate resembled vegetables. There was so much sauce

Came here for the 1st time last Tuesday. Ordered an app platter and some sushi rolls. The Appetizer combo while decorative, was rather disappointing. The asian glazed ribs were a tremendous letdown. They were microwaved before being served. The bone had more heat than the meat! The crab stuffed wontons had almost no flavor aside from the cream cheese, and the pot stickers were average at best. The crazy monkey roll was good, but the ocean zen roll I thought was attempting too much with so many things going on with it. To be honest, our service was great, the ambience was nice.

I went here with my mom for my birthday. We shared the app sampler for two and liked everything on it. Be sure to try the different sauces they serve under the food. The sauce definitely enhanced the experience; everything was so flavorful. We ordered a fried California roll that we didn't finish because everything else was so good. We also split the teriyaki beef short ribs. We told our waiter that we were splitting this entree and he asked if we wanted to each get a gull serving of sides for an upcharge (I think it was $6). That sounds perfect, we said. So we split the meat but got the same amount

Incredible food and service. Atmosphere is a little sterile but we sat by the large fish tank which was nice. This is an expensive restaurant. We had dinner there. The sweet Thai chicken grilled chicken breast, orange glazed chicken and macadamia nut crusted mahi- Mahi dinners were all fantastic. We had a Ocean Zen roll and the Kung pao calamari and shrimp for an appetizer, delicious. Rounded it out with chocolate seduction cake for dessert, yumm. The cost for 3 of us (no alcohol) before tip was $140. Pricey but well worth it.

We had forgotten about this gem and we’re so glad to rediscover! Our server, Jeanne, was the absolute best! We enjoyed sushi, appetizers, dessert, wine, coffee and it all was outstanding. The setting was lovely and for as busy as it was we were seated immediately. It was also fairly quiet for as busy as they were. This would be a wonderful place for small parties, prom goers, business meetings, and romantic evenings. We were most pleased with the quality of the meal which made the prices worth it.

I hate doing this... I am from Miami area Florida, one of the best places to get sushi in the US, so my expectations weren't high, but. Man if this wasn't the worst quality for price sushi I've ever had. I've eaten everything from 20$ rolls to 4$ rolls at quick stop hibachi bars. This was by far the worst. The soft shell was near burnt to a crisp, the tuna roll was almost the texture of cartilage, and all of it had the oddest musky overtone. I am a good lover and a good finisher. I never take my meals for granted, though I attempted over a 5 hour period to not allow my money

I walk into this place after work in shorts & a tank, they made me feel like a million bucks!It all started with Ann(e) & her wonderful knowledge of wines! The malbec talked me into the appetizer fried cream cheese wontons...it was like having dessert first! Next comes the bread with the seasoned oil blended with garlic & herbs. That brings me to the Mongolia filet, shrimp, & potatoes. So now I'm completely full soi order the creme brulee cheesecake topped with blueberries. I now have 3 boxes of food to bring home! Just do it!

The food tasted great. The ambience was wonderful. The waiter was amazing. Totally awesome experience but be prepared to pay a fair bit for it. It was $90 for 2 of us for 2 sushi rolls, 2 entrees, and 2 drinks. When I looked up the prices online they were lower, so that was a little bit of a surprise. It is not an average night outing. More special occasion.

Very nice place, the food was good. The service did not match the quality of food or price. Once the food was brought to us, he disappeared. I wondered if he went home. It would have been nice not to have had to finish half my meal without a drink. He finally did come back a second time, that was to leave the check.

This used to be a good restaurant but it was expensive so we hadn't gone in a long time. We tried it tonight. We love and eat a lot of sushi, but the sushi tonight was the worst sushi we have ever had. We didn't eat it all and the bill was nearly $100. Went in the trash. The fish didn't taste fresh. Way too many other excellent sushi places in town that are great and way cheaper and better value. I never leave bad reviews, but this was that bad i wanted to be sure others knew to beware.

Ocean Zen is always good. Love it. Never a bad meal or bad service at this restaurant. Miss the original dark hole in the wall location, but by most standards this one is much bigger and nicer. Great place for special occasions and the drive thru is so convenient. Happy hour and lunch specials can't be beat.

I understand have things have been altered but what I don't understand is how & why the food came out like yesterdays warm up. My pistachio chicken was extremely dry & the garlic mashed potatoes were barely warm. The broccoli in the potatoes looked like it was tossed in from yesterdays left-overs, being brown in color.
We have been here in the past & never were we served cold & over-cooked food.
To top it off, we asked if they carried bottled tonic for our cocktails & the bartender said he would check the "syrup" mix. I would not call him a bartender if he

A friend and I did some shopping and stopped in for lunch. Very pretty setup and clean looking. We both ordered an appetizer. She got the crab wonton and I ordered the crunchy spring rolls. The crab wontons were very tasty but on the sweet side. The crunchy spring rolls I liked a lot. She ordered a California roll, super crunch roll and crab nigri. She was happy with her selections. I ordered crazy monkey roll and 417 roll. The crazy monkey is very sweet. The glaze would stick to your teeth. Was not my favorite. The 417 was very good. I would order it again. Selection is not huge here for any of

My friend have a birthday dinner here and I never try this place before. The outside of the restaurant looks beautiful, they have a pond of koi fishes that you can see.
Entering the door you see an open bar and the dining tables. Alot of lighting and chandelier so its not dark or dim out but very bright and elegant. They have a big party rooms on the left side for reservations.
The menu serves an Asian American fusion. Doesn't have a straight authentic dishes. A high end Asian Restaurant. Their food sound amazing tho!! Glad to have a try!

Amazing! I can't say enough about this place! The ambiance, the staff, the drinks, and then the food! One of the owners greeted us when we went to eat at the bar and then turned one of the TVs to the Giants game because my friend had Giants gear on. We ordered spring rolls and had fresh bread with this amazing oil dip. The spring rolls were so good that I forgot to get a pic until there was only one left. Crispy and tasted so fresh!
The Mongolian bbq ribs were outstanding! They fall off the bone and melt in your mouth. My friend got the pineapple chicken and it was so good as well and had
