About the restaurant

We are a team of young and inspired professionals taking down the walls between kitchen and guests and taking you on a culinary adventure. Immerse yourself in a progressive tasting menu focusing on the simple, yet luxurious, ingredients around the world with deep inspiration from Japanese cuisine.

We challenge the seasons, navigate beyond the limits of time and break with tradition— getting playful with process and tricky with techniques at the intersection of place and possibility.

At Ômo we offer a unique and exclusive experience to only 16 guest at a time. The journey starts in the living room with a welcome drink and snacks, then you are transported into the main counter overlooking the kitchen where you will enjoy all the savory bites in an interactive environment. At the end, you will transition to the pastry parlor to continue your experience with sweet bites and after dinner drinks.

About the restaurant

Meticulously crafted from a desire to bring people closer together, Oza Izakaya serves to surround our guests with pure bliss. Every bite, every sip, and every moment is designed for your enjoyment and to make memories alongside those you cherish. Taking inspiration from the stars, “uoza” or 魚座 celebrates Pisces, the fish in the sky, and our team wants to provide a similarly celestial experience for you.

An izakaya is a place where you can unwind, have a drink, and laugh with family and friends. It’s a home away from home. And we want to welcome you home.

The food was excellent and great value for the all you can eat . Lots of choice and the sushi was so fresh. Service was OK, the drinks were a bit expensive for the measures you received ( especially Sake). You are a bit packed in as there are many tables. The only real complaint was the noise level was very high. Not a lot you can do with an open room packed with people. We would,probably go back for lunch when I would hope it a bit quieter

As always, it was a good experience. However, we did notice that our chef forgot to use the garlic. He set it out on the hot table at the beginning but, by the end of cooking, he realized it was still sitting on the edge. He then scooped it up and put it back in his bin. Lol!
