O-iza Modern Japanese — Restaurant in Fresno

I did a reservation for two through Google. Loved how simple it was! The restaurant is located in the corner right across from the movie theatre in River Park so next to another restaurant called J-Pot. Parking was plentiful as it’s in the mall. Customer service was spectacular and beyond any restaurants we have ever gone to in Fresno or Clovis. The decoration and set up inside the restaurant is so beautiful and zen! We were greeted when we walked in and immediately seated as we had a reservation. A lady also greeted us at our table and brought us our complimentary water and bowl of edamame. Another kind lady brought a teapot of rose water and explained she had some sanitary towelettes for us to wipe our hands as she poured it onto the towelettes to enlarge and moisten it. They have a decent menu selection with Hibachi, Sushi, and other main entrees including drinks (a few mock tails included) and a handful of choices of desserts. I ordered three items and a dessert: two sushi rolls being the Dragon Roll and Venom Roll; an appetizer called Honey Wassabi Shrimp; and the Matcha Parfait. My total was a little over $80. Everything tasted delicious with superb food quality and presentation. My dessert was the best I’ve ever had at any restaurant, too. My plus one had ordered their lunch sushi sashimi special (we did dine in at 12:30 pm) for only $25. She said it’s the freshest sashimi she has ever had in Fresno or Clovis. She could already tell by the color appearances of the raw meat, too. She really enjoyed the texture and taste of the sashimi. We were also kindly shown the restroom location by a waitress and the manager or owner when they heard us asking about the bathroom. The bathroom was elegant and so clean. They even have a floss and water mouth wash dispenser with mini cups. We will definitely be back for another...

Mediocre quality (food, service, atmosphere) for top-notch prices Came here for a birthday. Ordered Karashi Curry Lamb Chop, Uni, Venom sushi roll, and Kumori Mohito....Uni was not fresh. Mohito drink consisted of a full glass of ice, so it was very diluted and flavorless. 1 of the 3 Lamb chop pieces consisted of oily fat only. I didn't say anything about it until waiter came, and I asked for the tab. She asked how the Lamb chops were, and when I told her, she told me she'd ask the manager to get it partially taken off the tab. 10 minutes later, she came back with a small matcha parfait (for the birthday person) and a tall matcha parfait on the house for the inconvenience- and told us that there has been several complaints about the Lamb chops lately and the tall matcha parfait is to compensate the fatty/oily lamb chop. (Matcha parfait was 🤮 BTW, in case anyone is wondering).

We waited around for 15 minutes for our tab that never came. We walked up to the lady at the computer. She said she don't have access to our tab and will get it from manager. She came with a tablet and went straight to the tip and pay screen. We paid and walked out. I then looked at the itemized receipt where it showed we got charged for the "complimentary matcha parfait on the house". We had to go back in to get the adjustment.

I was just, livid at that point. I am proud of myself for not dropping the F bomb on...

The food, the experience ,the atmosphere was truly amazing. The excellence on the food presentation far supersede my expectations. The honey mango Wasabi shrimp was exceptional the sweet tangy an spicy flavor made me salivate for more, texture an flavors in well combination of one another. The sashimi was perfect in size an weight, nice clean cuts pure perfection. Sashimi dish I got was the unagi, take, sake, maguro, hamchi, all perfectly sliced and presented far above other places that serve Sashimi. The hibachi ribeye was tender moist flavorful from start to finish, perfectly cooked to my liking. The karashi curry lamb chops was the pinnacle of perfection superb in flavor amazingly presented with a caramelized slices of peach. It was the perfect combination. The fujiyama was perfect in flavor amazing texture perfect size truly astounding. For the drinks I tried the Kumari mojito, and the blood orange mojito great pair for my entire meal. My server Itzelani was great amazing always checking in an me to see if I needed anything else she was phenomenal. Hands down a great server, the staff in general were amazing, taking care of all my needs. Highly recommended for an intimate evening perfect experience. The food was well priced, a truly exceptional place. Highly recommended. Will be back for...
