Ozumo is one of San Francisco’s most popular destinations for contemporary Japanese cuisine. Created in 2001, Ozumo was one of the first restaurants to combine sushi and robata cooking under one roof. Its captivating design, by world-renowned Japanese-based Super Potato, continues to delight diners, years after its’ inception. Ozumo introduced chilled, high-quality sake to its’ guests, by curating one of the finest collections from Japan’s most esteemed brewers.

As a long-standing establishment in Embarcadero, Ozumo remains committed to its culinary roots while also elevating its menu with the assistance of a new Chef Partner, Chef Yukinori Yamamoto. Chef Yama, who embarked on his culinary journey at the age of 18, has accumulated 33 years of experience in crafting Japanese cuisine and is now making a formidable impact at Ozumo.

    Went here to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday and we both can say this place is just amazing. The service was pleasant but the food was just another level. We’ve never had fish that tasted so soft and fresh and the rice just melted in your mouth. Slightly pricey but 100% worth it.

    Outstanding! Ozumo specialty roll creative and delicious. Hotata san with scallops was terrific. Upscale decor with house music. Prompt and interactive service. Under the bay bridge with beautiful view at night.

    This used to be one of the best sushi restaurants I have ever been to. In the past (10 years ago) I brough guest from Tokyo, who said it compared to the best in Japan. After not going for years, I went with I friend I used to visit the restaurant who was in from out of town. We went to recapture the magic, but it is gone. Where the sushi bar used to be packed with busy sushi chefs talking enthusiastically in Janpanese, there were only 5 guest seated and the bar, and the kitchen pace was lethargic. The food was uninspired and representative of an average neighbor sushi restaurant. Also, although less than have full on a San Franciso Wednesday evening that was gorgeous, it was hard to hear because of the background noise (no sound abatement, all hard surfaces). I recall it being much easier to hear in the old days when it was packed and jumping. This restaurant its tired. There is much better to be had in San Franciso.

    Ozumo has now become a family favorite. This is our second time dining with Ozumo (we hosted our daughter’s graduation dinner here). Service tonight was superb. Kotchanan waited on us and she was very patient with our 86yo mother. She explained the various sections of the menu and her suggestions. Our family of 7 ordered several appetizers and several entrees to share, plus nigiri and maki. The entrees most talked about at the table : Gindara (robota black cod with miso sauce), A5 Miyazaki and A5 Takamori. We shared desserts!

    The food was fabulous. And our waitress was very knowledgeable, very helpful, and just lovely. The only slight negative is that the noise level was high because we were dining at busiest point of the evening.

    Always reliable and super energetic space. It was during the week of Salesforce so it was even more crowded than usual.
