What a fantastic meal. Our server, Jada, was wonderful, friendly and helpful. Every recommendation she gave was delicious. We ordered the premium all you can eat meal and because 2 people win the party were over 60, we saved a bunch.

About the restaurant

Meticulously crafted from a desire to bring people closer together, Oza Izakaya serves to surround our guests with pure bliss. Every bite, every sip, and every moment is designed for your enjoyment and to make memories alongside those you cherish. Taking inspiration from the stars, “uoza” or 魚座 celebrates Pisces, the fish in the sky, and our team wants to provide a similarly celestial experience for you.

An izakaya is a place where you can unwind, have a drink, and laugh with family and friends. It’s a home away from home. And we want to welcome you home.

This is my preferred Kobe. Always have a quick check in even if we arrive early, staff are very pleasant & attentive. It was our anniversary which I put on the reservation. However, I didn’t mention anything while there or I forgot. They brought it up & celebrated us which was so thoughtful. Thank you for such an amazing evening
