Atlanta | Ozuri Izakaya – Aesthetic Japanese Pub Fare 📸🏮

Ozuri Izakaya in Duluth offers a stylish, modern setting with private rooms and eye‑catching presentation — perfect for those who love "pretty food" and Instagram‑worthy meals. But how does the taste measure up? Let’s break it down. 📍 Ozuri Izakaya 3525 Mall Blvd NW #3, Duluth, GA 30096 🍶 Drinks & Appetizers We ordered Zen, Lychee Tini, and Red Shiso cocktails — the Red Shiso stood out with its pleasant sweet‑tart balance, while the others were just okay. 🍹 • Takoyaki – decent but not memorable. • Grilled Chicken Skin – the best skewer of the night! 😋 • Shrimp Tempura – crispy, clearly house‑battered, not frozen. 🍱 Ozuri Kai Course (3‑4 people) – a mixed experience. • Starter Issue – the menu listed fried squid but we were served fries instead, with no prior notice. The staff later explained they don’t actually have squid — a misleading menu detail that should be updated. 🦑➡️🍟 • Salad – fresh and light, with shrimp, bell peppers, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. 🥗 • Omelette & Grilled Eel – the omelette was filled with beansprouts and meat (not rice), a nice twist. The eel was tender and sweet. 🍳 • Sushi & Sashimi Platter – the salmon was a highlight; overall quality was acceptable. 🍣 • Yakitori – unfortunately, most skewers were underwhelming, with chicken skewers leaning dry and bland. 🍢 • Chicken Nanban – tangy, sweet, and enjoyable. • Seafood Soup – generously loaded with seafood and a light spicy broth, though some veggies were slightly burnt. 🍲 📸 Verdict Ozuri is great for photos, group gatherings, and a chic vibe, but if you’re prioritizing flavor and consistency, there might be better izakaya options in Atlanta. A visit for the experience, but maybe not for the food alone. ✨ #OzuriIzakaya #AtlantaJapanese #Izakaya #PrettyFood #DuluthEats #AtlantaEats #JapaneseFood #DiningExperience #FoodAndAmbience #AtlantaFoodie #NightOut #DateNight #AtlantaRestaurants #AestheticDining
