Thought to be an authentic, historic Japanese food (sushi, tempura, etc.) establishment but instead, the food and the atmosphere turned out to be more of a Latino-flavored one. I tried grilled salmon bowl and it was surprisingly delicious and satisfying to my taste. Salmon was grilled with light seasoning, steamed vegetables were not heavily salted (not as your typical Japanese seasoning style), and rice cooked just right. Not a place I would return for “Japanese” food, but it’s a nice, casual place for a quick bite.

The only reason I’m giving Otani’s only two stars is that a friend of mine told me how amazingly wonderful it was. Perhaps the seafood salad isn’t the best thing on the menu. That’s what I had and it was very underwhelming. My friend and I went there hoping to find something like a Seven Seas salad which of course has all kinds of seafood in it not just crab and shrimp with lettuce. We did not opt to have it smothered in mayonnaise which of course is the way most people get it. I intend to return to try something else on the menu. The place was about half-full and there was a steady stream of people coming in getting to go orders. I suspect my experience is a unique one. I must add this; the people who work there are very accommodating I did not expect the wonderful service that we got.

I had the red snapper sandwich with clam chowder and fries special. The sandwich was really good and snapper tasted fresh.

Fish is fresh rice is good but the salad wasn’t fresh that was too bad because It was like eating by a dirty trash can. Some how the salad messed up the whole plate, I wish they wouldn’t have placed it there. The place was clean but they scale and gut the fish right in front of you so you get the smell coming off the stainless steel. The food is brought to the table for you and the condiment are on a small table by the front door.

This is a landmark! Just came to relive. Must try their clam chowder ( was warm, ok, not great). Food was ok…. can get teriyaki Chinese here. But why? Had their calamari steak charbroiled. Grilled flavored. Actually very very good texture! Would recommend that! The red snapper teriyaki was good. Would not consider anything else worth getting.

First time here. We had the shrimp and scallops. Came with tempura vegetables, salad and rice. It was all very good. Only negative for me was that food is served on a paper plate, with plastic utensils.

I LOVE this place!!! Been coming here since 1974 and the “Shrimp Tempura” has always been my favorite. All menu items are very good, never disappointed. A true Oxnard gem!

Family owned and operated! My family has been eating here for 30+ years. Crispy Teriyaki Red Snapper is perfectly battered and doused with a delightful teriyaki sauce that isn’t too sweet like the others. A nice signature salad & white rice accompanies this platter. Hefty portions!! *don’t forget the rice paper candy **insider tip: give them your phone number for rewards points for free food!
