Worth a detour. Wish we had a spot like this in the Bay Area. So chill, warm, welcoming, amazing and authentic izakaya food and drink. I’ve been looking for this since my trips to Japan and watching Midnight Diner. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and we’ll be coming back to Ojai to make sure we can come again!

A cute little place straight out of Japan, with a bit of Ojai style.

This place is a hidden gem. It's actually located in the back of a building and so when you go the the address you won't see the place. There is a sign that says to go around back through. The wife and I came in for lunch and they had two lunch specials. We order one of each. They ere both under $20, and they were fantastic! We will defiantly be coming back. It's a small place with a sushi bar seating for maybe 10 people or less, a couple of tables inside and then more seating outside.

Best chef in Ojai, a town with otherwise mediocre Asian fare.

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.

Loved this place! It's all about the food here, with the ambiance coming from quick service, a friendly kitchen and serving team, and the intimate it's-like-your-backyard feel of the outdoor dining area.
We loved the hamachi and salmon sashimi, the innovative magic mushroom roll, the tasty hamachi hand roll, and the classic rainbow roll (a fresh take on aging roll). The Yaki Onigiri was an interesting fried rice ball with tasty sauce and mad umami deliciousness.
Our first time in Ojai, and this place was a highlight. We'll be back!
Very casual environment. Didn’t like the food to be honest. Tried pickle salad, salmon onigiri, mushroom sushi, among others.

I seen Instagram post of this sushi restaurant in Ojai. I looked at the reviews on Google maps. I work 3 to 7 days a week here in Ojai. I made it after 2 very hard days of working to treat myself to dinner. It was a busy Friday night. There special hand written menu had chicken heart Skewers. This is a home cooked comfort food for me growing up my dad made them. They were delicious and perfectly cooked. I also had Carpaccio Tai Snapper & Salmon, Shiitake skewers, miso soup, ONIGIRI (Rice ball) Spicy cod roe. Everything was fresh and full of delicious favors. I was full and beyond satisfied with the whole experience. I had a friend ask me to get food togo before I left. The service was friendly and didn't wait to long for anything. Also the music playing was fantastic for the perfect Atmosphere. ? I will definitely be going back again. ❤️????%
Dietary restrictions: I have a dairy allergy. I let my server know before ordering. I seen butter and cheese on the menu.
