Restaurants in Ojai

“Stupendous!!!!! Amazing! I cannot put into words how wonderful our meal was. Thank for the pleasure of experiencing your talent. Bravo!”

“We had a few items from the menu, the hot sauce for the burrito stood out garlic, chillies so good. The mocha left me wanting more, the chocolate flavor was delicious. The atmosphere was great very friendly staff, not only towards customers but also amongst themselves, always a good sign if everyone gets along bc that extra love is always reflected in the food. Thank you for your service

Parking: Parked in the public parking lot a few feet away.”

“This place is incredible! The location is gorgeous, all of the amenities are incredible, and the customer service is unmatched! I recommend to anyone looking for a 5 star weekend!! Left feeling refreshed and relaxed!”

“We love the food and ambiance❤️”

“The location is terrific. We sat on the outside patio where it was relaxing, shaded by beautiful trees, comfy chairs, twinkly lights - really a nice ambiance. I can’t give the food as high marks as the restaurant’s physical attributes but it was more than okay. I had the pasta bolognese which was very under-seasoned and kind of flavorless (the pasta was perfectly al dente though). My husband had the duck breast which he thought was excellent. The service was pretty good although I had to wait so long for my aperitif that the food arrived before the drink! That was disappointing and I got antsy just sitting there empty handed for an unreasonably long time (I finally told them to bring my husband’s drink so at least one of us had something). That said, I have no hesitation to recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner out or special occasion.”

“Classic Ojai summer evenings with exceptional music!”

“Always excellent Vegan fare…I had the spicy noodle special. My wife had the Tiger Bowl which is a fave. Just so special to be in Ojai, in the Fall, at this great place. We are former Blue Mango and Davis Food Coop folks from our Davis College Days and this brings back the old days!”

“Delicious food, a joyful setting, and happy staff. The Tibetan MOMO , Indian curry sushi burrito was very tasty. but there was a large selection on their menu, they even have lots of sushi, and it was delicious. Highly recommend it and would eat here again.”

“Pre fixe menu. Each course was creative, well presented, and delicious. Our main courses were the Swordfish and the Branzino. Both excellent. Extensive wine list, including many half-bottle choices. Tasty desserts. We left satisfied. The service was attentive and courteous. Server was well informed regarding each item on the menu. Atmosphere also nice; we sat on the deck outside.

Vegetarian options: When making the reservation, the host made sure to ask about any dietary restrictions.”

“I've been here about 10 times now with my wife and kids. Tried several menu items and have always been pleased with quality, quantity and taste.
Family owned and run, the staff is very nice. This will continue to be our go to spot for lunch here in Ojai.
Give it a try, great way to support small local business.

Kid-friendliness: My kids love eating here on the outdoor patio. Tables with umbrellas.”

“best pizza, bagels, and hoagies!”

“Relative to sushi in Ojai, this place is unbelievable. Relative to sushi anywhere in the world, this place is reallyyy good. I’ve been here twice and tried a lot, and there is not one thing I haven’t liked.

What I love most about this place is that the chef allows his creativity to shine through with skewers, ramen, karaage, and various other creative hot and cold Japanese dishes. Probably some of the best kimchi I’ve ever had.

It’s a must stop for Japanese in Ojai and is very reasonably priced. This place is going to be a staple in Ojai for a long time.”

“Not only was the food delicious but it was visually appealing as well!”

“Came here on a weekday trip to Ojai. Absolutely amazing atmosphere, good drinks and great vibes. Anthony made stellar drinks and was fun to chat to! The live music here was so beautiful to listen to!”

“Just a heads up to everyone.. they're closed until Jan 17 2022 :(”

“This ice cream shop in Ojai is a true gem and a local landmark with a rich history. The ice cream here is simply amazing – it’s incredibly smooth and not overly sweet, with a rich, creamy flavor that is just perfect. They offer a wide variety of flavors, more than a dozen to choose from, each one better than the last. If you’re visiting Ojai, this is a must-try spot. You won’t be disappointed!”

“The Gelato was soooo good. I had the Just Rasberry. I would of enjoyed the atmosphere a bit better if they had some music outside and the table could have been wiped. But, over all it was tasty.”

“Wonderful establishment!! Best coffee , staff and atmosphere. I highly recommend. Thanks to the owner for supporting our community, and providing a great local coffee shop.”

“cool spot had a mini classic car event nice people offering us free cake from a bday event some harley riders there everyone really nice I didn't try the food but it looked good my only issue was the disgusting porta potty they had in the parking lot, bring your nose plugs and your own hand sanitizer...”

“This place is incredible! The location is gorgeous, all of the amenities are incredible, and the customer service is unmatched! I recommend to anyone looking for a 5 star weekend!! Left feeling refreshed and relaxed!”

“Always a pleasure to enjoy the menu there”

“I had the BBQ Chicken pizza today, DELICIOUS!”

“Amazing food, awesome staff, beautiful atmosphere”

“Pretty cute motel bar by the pool.

They don't have a full liquor license so drinks are on the weaker side. Still, a nice spot to hang out. They have board games as well.”

“Their orange chicken is excellent!! We have been customers for years. Every time my MIL comes to visit from out of town, AJs is our usual must do soon as she arrives haha I always say Im going to try a new item but when it comes down to it I cant- have to get my favorite orange chicken, steamed vegetables(always cooked perfectly, never mushy!)My hubby gets beef chow mein & fried rice.
Staff is always very nice. Definitely a top pick for Ojai restaurant choices.”

“We ordered the zlt, breakfast burrito, save the tuna sandwich and pesto toast. For drinks we had the rasta palmer, berry lemonade, seasonal refresher which was a lavender tea and matcha mint tea. Everything looked and tasted delicious. For the sides, I would add more popcorn, more greens or fruit for more food. I would definitely eat here again.”

“The menu is somewhat limited but everything is wonderful, and the staff are always attentive and kind. Whether you are visiting the golf course for the day or an ojai local, this place will welcome you like an old friend. The views of the sunset are truly majestic.”

“Grabbed a sandwich here for an afternoon picnic at Libbey park. Was able to talk with MJ’s mom who shared her favorite spot in the park. Hefty sandwich with all the deli fixings, was able to share a sando between my wife and I.”

“Highly recommend!!!! The food is amazing!!! The calamari with polenta is absolutely to die for!! I had the most amazing fettuccine cognac w/ filet & mushrooms also recommend the tiramisu 5 star!!!!!”

“A cult classic pit stop each and every visit in Ojai. Kombucha is amazing, and the açai bowls are some of the best I’ve ever had. Always lovely staff and atmosphere. Flights and Libbey bowl are always my go to.”

“The Hut has always rocked for me and I drive past it at least twice a day. I've even been fortunate enough to be present when some anonymous guy comes in and buys round of drinks for the whole house. Two of my co-workers go there and one doesn't. I'm not going to elaborate on that yet I love my job and I hope I have it forever.”

“best breakfast burritos in carne asada Tortas”

“Really like this place.

Vegetarian options: Love the people that work there.

Dietary restrictions: Something for everyone it's

Parking: They do an art class.. You can see the art class from the dining room.. Amazing. My grandson started. Because we want to eat there.

Kid-friendliness: Yes”

Vegetarian options: Vegan salad and impossible burger option.”

“Shrimp quesadilla is my favorite try it you won’t be disappointed”

“wines are all good, company great, love the ambiance”

“It’s the place to go dance to Beau Red & the Tailor Maide! Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere!”

“I’ve been going to Bonnie Lu’s as long as I can remember and they make the best grits and crispy bacon for me. Everyone is always really friendly and it just makes you want to come back.”

“We love Don Lalo’s. We’re new to town and Don Lalo’s has been a consistent, delicious part of our week. We love their Taco Salad with Baja Fish. It comes in a crispy tortilla bowl, everything is fresh, including the fish. Also, favorite Horchata I’ve had in California so far.”

“It's very nice and friendly place . I love it”

“The employees here are wildly unprofessional and laughed at my friend when she went there for food. This place is anti-LGBTQ, avoid at all costs!”

“Not blown away by food often but wow! Everything we ordered was beyond delicious. Korean Fried Cauliflower was the star of the meal. Rice bowls were fresh and scrupulous as well. Service was quick and friendly ?”

“Consistently soooo good! That’s my biggest issue with a lot of places is it’ll be great one time and not good the next. They have a lot of unique and sweet coffee flavors. I recommend the vanilla lavender latte. Also they put a good amount of ice, unlike Starbucks that fills up the whole cup with ice.”

“Sakura has a wide selection of Sushi, Sashimi, Teppanyaki and Korean dishes, all made with exceptional attention to detail and flavor. PLUS the owner is a wonderful human being!”

“First off, one of the only places in Ojai that had INDOOR seating with AC. Every restaurant we went to all had patio seating. It was 107 degrees. Who on God's green earth wants to melt outdoors while eating!?!?

I ordered 2 tacos plus some sort of open face burrito. The tacos were very good with lots of meat...gear those for sure. The beef and chicken were both tasty. The open faced burrito, I forget the name of the dish. I didn't like it at all.

The decor is pretty awful and dated. Could use an update. Take most of the tchotchkes off the walls, fresh pain on the walls, update the tables and chairs, and this could be a much nicer Mexican restaurant.

You have something most places don't have indoor real estate for people to eat inside to get away from the heat. Also very easy to make a simple Margherita you can offer customers and boost sales.”

“Love the strawberry shortcake.”

“Had your Jalapeno Double Cheese burger. It is excellent hope it stays around for awhile.”

“Food was excellent, servers friendly, but service iffy. One night our mains didn't come for a very long time. We called our server over who assumed they had come. Food arrived shortly after but missing one item. Figured food at sat somewhere since fish dried out. Next meal ordered drinks and one course at same time. Food came before the wine. Seems communication among serving and kitchen needs to be revamped.”

“We Love Seafresh! it's become part of the rhythm of our lives!”

“I flew in from Boston and my mom is from up the coast in Santa Margarita. This was a perfect start to our Ojai experience. Delicious meal. So many options and we each enjoyed or respective meals: Mango Snapper and Quinoa Greens, and Grilled veggie Quesadilla. Delish! All on the cozy, charming patio strung with festive lights.”

“Great food and great service. Usually go there when I’m in Ojai every now and then, and always had a great experience there.”

“Came here for an early dinner as part of a girls day out last minute. A hidden gem! The food and drinks were great, service was also great, but that might be because we were the only ones in the whole restaurant. I hope they can drum up more business, especially on a Saturday night. The interior ambience and decor needs a refresh and the hostess podium outside needs to be manned. The menu needs an update as well, this place has a lot of potential just needs to be marketed better. We would come again next time we're in town.”

“My favorite place ❤️I can’t go a day without my coffee”

“The Tico salad had only 6 beans, about 5 or 6 pieces of meat and the huge whole leafs of butter lettuce were why the food got 3 stars. I really expected more beans & meat for the price & also think the meat was unflavored. It would be better if they chopped the lettuce even a little as if out on a date there's zero chance of eating that gracefully. It became messy and hard to eat due to the whole leaves.

Their Songbird was delicious and the ale my date had was good too according to him. There's no rating spot for the drinks but 5 out of 5 on the drinks at least. This will be a stop in the future when in Ojai looking for a quick drink. The seating area is seat yourself, which is nice, you can choose where you'd like to eat. There's fans above the area and I believe I saw heaters for when the weather is colder. Cute area on the corner faces their main street. Parking on the street is probably easier than in the Plaza they're at as it's rather small for a lot of businesses to share.

Clean eatery, nice healthy options, kid friendly environment, give them a try.”
