What People Are Saying About The Sushi Ozekii

Featured Review

Martha Burr

In Short – This bright, cozy spot combines hip Asian touches with cool mid-century modern style in burnt orange tones. The charming side courtyard patio sports lanterns, fountains, plants and an odd but pleasant Spanish colonial mural. WeHo and Beverly Hills locals gather casually amid the staff's warm hospitality and bebop jazz for California-style Japanese cuisine. Artful specials include tropical seared tuna skewers, fried king prawns, hamachi ceviche, snow crab salad, Hawaiian roll, chicken katsu, and bento, sushi and sashimi combos.

Editor's Tips

Save Money:
Call ahead for details on $.99 12-oz Kirin beers, and free draft beer specials around closing time. Check the website for other discount coupons for food.
Parking:
San Vicente meters are frequently available, but keep an eye out for permit regulations on the side streets.
What to Drink:
There's a good selection of Japanese and domestic beer, and a fairly extensive sake list with premium labels like Hakkaisan and Koshihikari. There are also a few California wines offered by the glass and bottle.

My new FAVORITE place for Sushi!!!

by rheeman at Citysearch

I found my 'new' favorite local sushi hangout. I was just driving by looking for somewhere to eat and spotted this hidden gem. The decor of the place carries a hip and trendy feel. And the staff greeted me right when I walked in. I felt very comfortable right away! The food presentation was amazingly artistic. Everything looked like artwork and tasted even better that it looked. The sushi was melting in my mouth and their rolls had me ordering more and more. Overall a great experience here and I would recommend it to my friends and family. Friendly atmosphere and excellent service. Would definitely go back again and again.

  • Pros: Cozy feel without all the crowds.

Beautiful presentation and delicious!

by rsophiav at Citysearch

I went here with a friend of mine based upon the reviews I have read, and we loved it! The presentation was gorgeous and the sushi was really fresh and delicious. The tuna sushi was the best I have ever had, hands down. The service was fantastic too...so nice! It was not crowded and just all in all a good experience. I'll be back!

  • Pros: sushi, service
  • Cons: small

My New Favorite Spot

by megdstark at Citysearch

This place is my new favorite neighborhood spot! The restaurant has a nice chill vibe and sitting on the front patio at sunset was great! My boyfriend and I LOVE sushi and we're always trying new places. We were very impressed with the delecious sushi and beautiful presentation! The waitstaff was super friendly and made us feel right at home! They even gave us souvenir chopsticks upon leaving! We had plenty of food and spent only $40 with tip!

  • Pros: Service, Fresh Fish, No Hollywood BS, Just a great restaurant!

Great sushi and excellent service

by trojan_kim at Citysearch

Based upon the reviews that I read about Sushi Ozekii, we gave it a try. The service was excellent and and sushi was fresh. The chef also gave us a couple of free samples. Good prices and you can't beat the 99cents Kirin beer. Parking is very easy. I will be back soon.

  • Pros: Parking
