My date and I had dinner here yesterday for Valentine’s Day, and it was truly a wonderful experience. We were both welcomed with warm smiles and seated immediately since I had made a reservation ahead of time.
We started off with cocktails — the Ruby Mist and the Twilight Apple — and both were excellent. I have to say, all of the staff were incredibly kind, polite, and helpful throughout the evening.
We ordered the Valentine’s Special, which included champagne, an uni shooter, an apple jam cracker with caviar, a mini wagyu rice bowl, a mini salmon and ikura rice bowl, ocean game tartare, three hand rolls, and a chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. We also ordered the Wagyu Carpaccio in addition to the special. Since it was our first time trying some of these dishes, the experience felt even more exciting.
I wasn’t quite sure how to properly enjoy the uni shooter, but one of the staff members kindly explained and even gave us her recommendation on the best way to eat it. That personal touch really elevated our experience.
We genuinely enjoyed everything, but our favorites were the apple jam cracker with caviar, the mini wagyu rice bowl, the mini salmon and ikura rice bowl, the hand rolls, and the carpaccio.
It was rude of me not to ask for her name, but the young lady who was attending to us was such a kind soul. We accidentally left an item behind without realizing it, and she actually ran out to bring it back to us, very honorable of her. That level of care and attentiveness meant so much to us.
Thank you again for such a memorable evening. We will definitely be returning for the delicious food, drinks, and exceptional service.

Everything was so delicious and fresh. It’s such a good value! We got 9 hand rolls, 2 teas, and a dessert under $100 (without tip and tax). I was so happy with our dinner and loved the sweet potato brulee too.

First visit for all five of us based on a friend’s recommendation, and it didn’t disappoint! We were all thoroughly impressed with the high-quality food and lovely service. The staff made us feel very welcome throughout the meal.

Oh! Banzai in Gardena was a great find. We had the hand rolls, and the eel and wagyu were easily my favorites—fresh, rich, and seriously satisfying. Everything tasted super clean and well-made, the service was friendly, and the vibe was easy and relaxed. If you’re into hand rolls, don’t skip the eel and wagyu. Can’t wait to come back.

We had a nice dinner here and the service was great. We came on a quiet week night, so service was extremely quick.
When we sat down, we were given a complimentary dish of radish and fish cakes cooked in oden broth. We ordered hand rolls as well as the pork cartilage and chicken wings. It felt like it took just a little over 5 mins for us to get all of our food.
The hand rolls were very good quality! One thing to note is that all the hand rolls are brought out at once, so the seaweed will get soggy after a while. Given how fast service was, in the future I would space out my orders to keep them fresh. The pork “cartilage” we got was more like cuts of fatty pork belly, no actual cartilage in the dish. It was still very yummy though, especially with the mustard sauce to pair with the rich fatty bites.
I do not eat hand rolls very often so it did get a bit messy with some of the sauces and toppings. Be extra careful with the chili crisp topping. It tastes good but can easily get on your clothes. Wet wipes are provided which is nice.
Overall a very enjoyable (slightly messy) dinner with great service!

Stumbled across Oh! Banzai on an IG ad….stopped by for lunch because I was in the area. What a gem! Had the eel sunomono (light and delicious!), and a few hand rolls. Really lovely place, great service, food is fresh and feels like a higher level dining experience than the price suggests. Definitely coming back

This was our first visit to this restaurant, located on the second floor of Tokyo Central. The space is clean, and the staff were friendly. We placed all our orders using the tablet above the conveyor belt—which was a bit of a stretch for someone with shorter arms, but manageable. The food arrived via the conveyor belt and stopped right at our table. We tried a few rolls, sashimi, and nigiri, and everything was quite tasty. I’d love to bring my family here someday.

My server Reina was so helpful navigating me through the menu. The fish was so fresh and the matcha latte is a common Togo item for me! Love all the staff there and the kitchen is an open concept and you know all your food is fresh! Love the authentic japanese modern atmosphere!!

Unfortunately feel like I’ve wasted my money. Chicken wings were extremely bland with just lemon top, hand rolls lacked enough rice and rice was mushy. Fish was underwhelming and not super fresh :/ I think it’s way overpriced. I just kept thinking about Kazunori and how they meet higher quality standards at a better price point. I wish this place also had handroll set menu that isn’t just for lunch
