Fantastic experience at Ozumo Santana Row. The food was excellent, very fresh and full of flavor. We had shrimp tempura, crispy rice with salmon, edamame, and a couple of salmon rolls, and everything was perfectly cooked and well seasoned.
Service was outstanding. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and the chef even came out to introduce himself, which made the meal feel personal and welcoming.
The atmosphere is cool and low key with a beautiful patio area, lanterns, and a relaxed vibe that works great for a date or casual dinner. Parking is convenient with a structure in the back, and you can sometimes find street parking if you are lucky. There is easy access for disabled guests as well.
Overall a wonderful experience and I would definitely come back and recommend it to friends and family.

A Lively Cozy Izakaya when you want to experience Japanese vibes on a whim after shopping at Santana Row on a Chilly Evening. A warm Junmai Sake started off the festivities. She liked the rich dashi Udon with succulent Shrimp, Mushrooms and Nori. The side of tempura added a nice crunchy twist to the experience. Absolutely had to have a Sake Nigiri Sushi and it was fresh as ever. Warm lighting added to the authentic feel of the place. I’m already thinking of returning back with a bunch of friends for Happy Hour Sashimi Nigiri SakeBombs

I went on a Saturday, had reservations for 6 pm. It wasn’t crowded at all. We were seating right away outside, which is a quaint little area with heat lamps above you. Service was a tad slow in the beginning, but friendly. I’ve been here a couple years ago and always loved the food.
I ordered an espresso martini and like 20 min later the waitress comes back with the other drinks saying they were out of the espresso martini then left the table. I didn’t want to go through the long wait again so I just got a Diet Coke which they serve in cute little glass bottles.
I ended up getting the Midori salad with the sesame dressing on the side, and an order of chicken yakatori. I would get this meal again it was super good, I loved the chicken!! Putting the chicken in my salad was also incredible. Garlic edamame was soooo good too!

Definitely overpriced.
I really wanted to enjoy the food, but it was very average. The menu sounded great on paper, but the flavors didn’t land. Even the shishito was bland.
The chicken skewer was probably the only tasty item, but it was too small a portion.
The chutoro (bluefin tuna belly) had a fish scale which wasn’t pleasant.
The desserts were also disappointing. We ordered the basque cheesecake (which tasted good initially but then got very eggy) and the mouse (it was not the soft mouse. It was hard, almost like frozen icecream with strawberry sorbet and none of the flavors came through).
The service was good though, they were quick and attentive. The ambience is also good. Would’ve returned if the food was good, but its not worth $100 per person.

Had such a great time at happy hour with my best friend! The vibe of the restaurant was super nice, the sushi was absolutely delicious, and the service truly made the experience. Dave and Jorge were incredible – attentive, fun, and made us feel taken care of. They made our visit memorable and this is officially our new spot. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, great service, and an overall amazing experience! ✨

We stood at the door waiting to get seated for ~10min. Should’ve just walked off then. Took 20min just to even bring us the menus, another 10 for water. Food came out fast but that was the worst spicy tuna i ever ever had! FYI the tables next to us was visited by the same server atleast 5 times.
Barely any tuna, pickled somethat was way too salty. The volcano roll could be better. Drink was ok- looked pretty tho.
Very disappointed with the service as well as the food. Not worth it.
Walk around and almost every other place to eat around santana is top tier.

Ozumo at Santana Row feels like the kind of place James Bond might casually stop for sushi , sleek, modern, moody lighting, and that unmistakable cool vibe. Whether you’re here for a date, dinner with the crew, or just trying to flex your taste buds, Ozumo delivers style and substance.
Standout Dishes:
• Bluefin Toro Nigiri
Melt-on-your-tongue perfection. Seriously. Rich, buttery, and gone in two bites. Pricey, but worth it.
• Ozumo Roll
Signature roll packed with spicy tuna, avocado, topped with hamachi and jalapeño. A little kick, a lot of flavor, and beautifully plated.
• Wagyu Beef Skewers
Tender, juicy, and kissed by the grill , a must if you want to break up the sushi flow with something rich and savory.
• Miso Glazed Black Cod
Classic. Flaky, caramelized, and silky smooth. It’s one of those dishes that makes you pause mid-bite and go, “Damn.”
• Truffle Edamame
A bougie little starter but highly snackable , salty, earthy, and addictive.
Drinks & Atmosphere:
The cocktail game is strong. Try the Kyoto Mule or Yuzu Margarita , both fresh and balanced. Sake list? Extensive. Ask the servers for recs , they know their stuff.
As for the scene: trendy without being try-hard. Think upscale lounge meets sushi bar, with beats low-key vibing in the background. Perfect for when you want your sushi with a side of Santana Row people-watching.
Price Check:
Yeah, it’s not cheap. You’re easily in the $25+ per roll zone, and nigiri by the piece adds up fast. But you’re paying for top-tier ingredients, polished service, and an ambiance that makes it feel like a night out, not just dinner.
Final Word:
Ozumo isn’t your quick sushi fix , it’s a whole experience. The quality is top-notch, the presentation is on point, and the vibe makes you feel like you’ve stepped into Tokyo via San Jose with a designer bag in hand. Pricey? Sure. But totally worth it for those treat-yourself nights.

Fresh and tasty sushi with great presentation.
Quality is top-notch, but a bit on the pricey side.
Still worth it for a treat!

My girlfriend and I were excited try this place because we didn’t see anyone in it. After this review you can see why.
SERVICE – We first sat down and our waiter took our drink order and recommended the hanabi. So we ordered the hanabi and a veggie tempura. The hanabi took about 10 minutes. We were brought out a shrimp tempura but we refused it because we ordered a veggie so they took it back. That is fine but then after at least 10 minutes later our waiter comes back and asks “you guys didn’t want the shrimp tempura anymore?” lol why ask that. We finally also ordered our entrees after that. We get our tempura finally and they were missing some of the veggie specified in the menu. It’s fine but if it’s specified in the menu I expect it to be there. Just put assorted veggies in the description. The tempura was good until my girlfriend ate some raw batter in the bell pepper. I’m lucky I took a picture because when I told the waiter he took the plate away so fast. He thought an ice cream dessert was a reasonable fix. We barely saw him the whole time we were at the restaurant until his friend left we started seeing our waiter more.
FOOD – the Hanabi was hard to eat. The avocado was stuck to the plate. The ponzu was good and the yellowtail was good too. The tempura was not as described on the menu. The tempura sauce didn’t really have too much flavor. One piece of the tempura was raw. Udon was sweet but the tempura flakes made it good. The noodles were over cooked, they didn’t have a bounce to them. The ramen was ok just go to ramen nagi. The noodles were over cooked also. The toppings were good tho. Negitoro flavor tasted muted. The cucumber over powered everything. There was a laughable amount of green onion. Free ice cream was good had an orange jam with it that made it taste great.
AMBIANCE – Looks nice and modern but food and service couldn’t justify it.
Save your money go somewhere else
