Oz Sushi Grill - Lodi

Our server was wonderfully sweet, striking the right balance of attentiveness without being intrusive, and her welcoming demeanor was appreciated. We ordered the Super Dragon Roll, baked mussels, and the Louisiana Roll. Our drinks arrived in foam cups—pink lemonade with straws—alongside forks, chopsticks, and miso soup. The miso soup was flavorful but surprisingly absent of tofu or seaweed. To my surprise, the Super Dragon Roll had a real kick to it, though it wasn't as cold as I would have expected for a $19 roll. The Louisiana Roll didn’t impress either; for $14, I would have preferred a simple California roll with sauce on top. However, the baked mussels were delicious! While looking over the bill, my fiancé chuckled at the fact that the lemonades cost 50 cents more than the soups. Despite these quirks, we had an enjoyable time together, relishing the laid-back music and each other's company.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. My partner and I were looking for a cozy place to enjoy a nice meal, and this turned out to be the perfect spot. We ordered one special roll, two spicy tuna rolls, and a California roll, which came to around $40 before tip. My only critique is that there seemed to be a bit too much rice compared to the filling in the rolls, although they were quite filling! I’m looking forward to returning to try the soft shell crab and a few other dishes.

However, my main reason for hesitating to return is the state of the carpets and restrooms. There seemed to be a plumbing issue, as large fans were set up to dry the hallway carpet near the restrooms, which was damp and dirty. The carpets throughout the restaurant were in poor condition, raising concerns about the overall cleanliness, including the kitchen. I used to really enjoy this place, but now I have my doubts.

The server was nice but the food was just not worth the price. Every roll we ordered tasted like imitation crab and mayo. Plus the little amount of fish we had tasted fishy.The rainbow roll had very little fish on it, all I could taste was the imitation crab and mayonnaise, and it cost 15$…. I was shocked when the roll came out.The miso soup had good broth but it was only broth, no tofu nor seaweed in it.Very disappointing.. we left with a bunch of left overs that I don’t think we will be eating

Service is horrible, rude, and painfully slow?,But food is great, if the service can improve ALOT it will be a favorite place for many.
