Expect to wait but you can order drinks and delicious skewers in the meantime.
Once we got our table, we ordered toro nigiri, the chef sushi set, onigiri, fried chicken, and the tempura corn. Everything was fresh and delicious. Worth the wait for sure. Great service too.

Pretty much food is good owner is very nice, but a very long wait and a little bit over price, there’s a bunch of space in the front but not sure if it’s part of the restaurant, I know though that ojai people is calm and doesn’t mind time waiting, we waited for over an hour and have to seat very close to other people, the waiting area also is so close to the people eating I think it’s better if it’s a little separated, people waiting looking at you while your eating a little awkward just a honest review. Still a good experience

Incredible authentic Japanese food in the heart of Ojai! We loved the GOMA KAMPACHI, the duck skewers and, by all means, get the corn tempura. Never had anything like it. Delicious! We will be back soon!

Incredible surprise. Wonderful, the best Izakaya I've ever been to and I've been to many in New York and LA. GO.

Food was amazing! Small seating area and seven seats at the sushi bar but was so worth it! Seems like one gentleman was working when we came in however he handled the large rush of people very well!

Just a note to say they are no longer serving their full menu at lunch - hand rolls only. The full menu is offered for dinner after 5pm.

Nice evening in the patio. The fiesta roll was good, eggplant was nice, small sausages were great. Beef Tataki was flavorful but very chewy, not worth the price
Went here with my partner last week while on a day trip from LA. Food was absolutely delicious, staff was incredibly kind, and we truly didn’t dislike a single dish. I will be back!

Amazing place! The sushi was phenomenal, and the karaage was huge and delicious. The drinks were good too. It was unfortunate that the skewers weren't charcoal grilled, and luckily, I had the soy sauce from the sushi to add to the yaki onigiri (as it was lacking shoyu).

Quite possibly the best fish I’ve had in a while. The bonito and Spanish makerel were next level. And also this one little rice chicken egg situation

This is a very good sushi restaurant tucked away in an unpretentious structure. Don’t be misled, the fish quality is excellent and the service brisk and efficient. I haven’t had such fresh quality fish in a long time.
