11 Best Japanese Restaurants in Oxnard

“I've been going to this place since I was attending Rio Mesa! I have since moved to Vancouver, WA and there are teriyaki places EVERYWHERE. None compare, still. Sauce is a perfect texture, veggies are always perfectly steamed, portions are amazing. I was so glad to see that this place survived Covid.“

“Hidden gem!! It's tucked inside an abandoned food court. All the other stores within the food court are closed. It's the last one standing from the aftermath of the pandemic. Grabbed some quick sushi to take back to the hotel.
The sushi is surprisingly very good and fresh! Sashimi is buttery and silky. Price is very reasonable, and portions are just right. Sushi rolls and sashimi were delightful!“

“5 out of 5 overall. I had a really hearty meal. I had the Pork Katsudon with side of Shrimp Tempura and a drink. I spent $40 including tip, not cheap but that’s everywhere in Califonia. lol! The meal was really good, i left full and satisfied. Thanks!“

“Small & family owned. The food tastes great and the prices are very reasonable. The owners are there 6 days out of the week from opening to closing. Do not go there expecting a 5-star fine dining experience, but if you want to support a hard working small mom-and-pop owned restaurant with great quality foods and welcoming atmosphere, it's totally worth a try!“

“My family and I love visiting Yokozuna’s for their great food and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who makes the best hand rolls I’ve had! It’s always a joy talking with him and the staff! Yokozuna’s will continue to be my go to spot for great sushi and conversation with my family!“

“The sashimi is consistently of higher quality - fresh with smoother texture - and the tempura lighter without the oil drenched heaviness of old school home cooking. Overall, the food has a tasty, lighter, and balanced flavor profile that we enjoy. But talking about service, can you imagine our surprise when a waitress walked over to our table and gave us 50.00 in cash (not credit) saying that we overpaid on our last visit - a month ago! Some years earlier, one of the sushi chefs and former student of mine paid for our meal as a surprising and much appreciated gesture of gratitude. Thank you.“

“We chose this sushi restaurant based on its glowing Google reviews, and I'm so glad we did! Our experience truly exceeded our expectations. We savored every type of sushi we ordered, and it was heartwarming to enjoy such delicious food in a wonderful atmosphere. This place is definitely a gem for sushi lovers!“

“Moved to Vegas 25 years ago. Miss 3 things about Oxnard - Family, the beach and Otani’s. Been fortunate to eat in some of the best restaurants in the U.S. I would choose Otani’s Fried Teriyaki Snapper with double rice over any other meal that’s out there. Otani’s was a staple for me growing up and had the fortune of knowing the family. Crave it constantly and go there every day whenever I make it back to town.“

“Sent my dog to the groomers nearby and had time to spare so I went here with my mom. Absolutely fantastic experience there. Portions are great and the food is so good you can’t stop eating! My mom is very picky and now she’s always asking me the next time we’re going back. The service is very kind and helpful if you’re unsure of what to get. Everyone there is so kind and I’m definitely going back again.“

“The lunch/ happy hour menu was great“

“Average sushi but I definitely will continue to go there as an option. The “ex-girlfriend roll” is great!! I do take out though, they charge automatic gratuity for dine in which infuriates me! And the dine in service isn’t very good.“
