Izakaya Osen Irvine Reviews
One of my go to sushi spots in Irvine.
I would say it's on the pricier side but definitely has the quality. I like their lunch menu more because it has a lot more to choose from compared to dinner. Service is good. Also they offer parking validation.

Hands down one of my favorite sushi spots in OC! The sushi is fresh and just melts in your mouth, it's that delicious! If you sit at the bar the sushi chefs are fun to watch too! I highly recommend ordering sushi pieces as well as the salmon mi
Came here to celebrate a birthday.
Food was solid but the service was severely lacking. At this price point, you expect a certain level of service. If you are spending $200+, you would expect to be treated like you are at a fine dining establishment, but customer service was essential
OMG!!! The food is absolutely delicious.
Our first time here and we totally enjoyed ourselves. Ambiance was a little noisy since it's packed and tables are very closely arranged. Our server was very pleasant and we felt very well taken care of. We will definitely be back for more food.
Amazing! We had their omakase which was delicious.
The only thing is that they serve all the pieces in one tray at one time. I'm a traditional omakase girl and prefer when the chef gives it to you one at a time. But the quality is good and it was a good meal. They are in an office park, so it�
Great service.
Great food. I like that they have individual rooms so your dinners are a bit more intimate with your party.

I visited Izakaya Osen with my parents for lunch and overall had a great experience. I ordered the Chirashi ($38), which came with an assortment of sashimi on top of rice and spring salad mix, as well as some miso soup and small side dishes (assorted

The weekday lunch chirashi is amazing value and includes sweet shrimp and scallop! All the cuts are very fresh and yummy. They also have the real grated wasabi! The soy sauce they use is a tad too salty for dipping sashimi however. In addition, the

Absolutely loved Isakaya in Irvine! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Great vibes, attentive staff, and the perfect spot for a casual night out with friends or a cozy date night.
You will pay top price for disposable chopsticks.
Bad food. Ugly patio seating area. And the disposable chopsticks cheapens the experience.
wowww this place was good.
i booked a reservation for 7 pm the day before for a party of 6 and we got one of the small private rooms, which i loved because of the privacy. the service was amazing, our server was so sweet and i felt like we were taken good care of by her and al

My absolute favorite sushi restaurant in OC.
The fish is always incredibly fresh and the rolls are outstanding. Cocktails are delicious. Presentation of food and drinks is always classy. Service is strong, with various people to attend to the tables. Love the atmosphere of the smaller rooms for
The food was amazing.
We had a reservation ahead of time and was seated immediately without needing our full party there. It was on a Friday night and not super busy at all. Will definitely come back!
I came to Izakaya Osen for a birthday for a party of 5.
We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The place has a really quiet and comfortable atomsphere. Perfect for special occasions! We ordered the uni toro bowl, spicy tuna handrolls, 8 piece omakase sushi set, and a few other sushi rolls and skew
Experience from start to finish was fantastic.
I was greeted by a young lady by the name of Grace I believe. I appreciated that she offered me a couple of different seating options as I was meeting some business guests for the evening. I was a little bit, spoiled, because one of the individuals

It's pretty obvious that this place is catering towards the business expense crowd. It also helps that it's in the middle of MASSIVE office parks near the airport. All the dish presentations are a tad over the top, with prices to match, and

I'm very picky with sushi places and would have never thought that Silver Lake had a amazing sushi place. All the plates I tried were delicious. My friend and I were very impressed. My favorite is the silver scallop and uni, (scallops, sea urchi

Always a pleasure coming back to Izakaya Osen -- whether it's for a special occasion or simply when craving some fresh Japanese cuisine. The King Salmon was buttery and flavorful, Toro Belly just melted in the mouth, and the Miso Crab Salmon h

Extremely expensive! Quite small portions, priced pretty high Food is definitely fresh but not tasty.. in fact pretty tasteless Service is great, place is clean, and the presentation of the food is amazing, but again pricing is a rip off. I wouldn
Wow! This place was perfect.
Not one thing they could've done better- food was paced perfectly and sooo tasty, all servers worked together to clear plates from guests tables even if they weren't the one that took our food order, water refilled about every time it reach
Came in on a weekday for lunch without any reservation.
We were able to get a table as a walk in. To start off, the ambience of the restaurant is very intimate; which is perfect for business lunch meeting (they have semi private rooms) or a simple date night! The menu was extensive in which they just
All ingredients are very fresh and well prepared.
This is the only place I do trust to eat uni in Irvine.

Had a great meal! The food is fresh and beautifully presented. I love all premium ingredients they use. Even their dried seaweed is both delicious and pretty. Their bowls are a perfect mix of flavors. Their sushi and sashimi is so fresh you can

Came here for my boyfriends birthday and had a lovely experience! Service was top tier and the food was so good. We made a reservation and were seated quickly! Super beautiful inside as well! Would love to come back!
The service was great.
The manager came over a few times to make sure everything was good. They are very attentive and make sure you're taken care of well. Ambiance was nice and clean. Looks more high end than other restaurants and they are consistent. The food was go
Good food, good atmosphere.
Nothing to write home about that was exceptional. Service was great and attentive. Very quaint, small, intimate place to have lunch or dinner. Just a bit on the pricey side. Good not great portion size : sashimi and maki lunch for $40 is just not wor

This is definitely my go to spot for great Sushi, I did have a great time, great service, beautiful ambiance. Sushi is very fresh as my choice.
This place was good.
I loved their selection of sushi, they have a lot of variety and unique things that they don't offer at other sushi places, especially stuff with Uni on top of it! That's really really good! If you want to go for unique flavors and creati
Delicious Chirashi Lunch
Ever since I heard our friends’ effusive description of their sumptuous Premium Chirashi experience here, I had wanted to check it out. Finally made Friday lunch reservation. Plenty of spaces in the adjacent parking structure (free with validation)
Mixed feeling
Location & ambiance: easy freeway access. Parking is validated—bustling restaurant. Even if you have reservations, you have to wait. Food & drink: high-grade sushi with caviar and gold leaf, excellent signature bowls. The kushikayi were ok.
Terrific food
Without a reservation, Izakaya Osen was able to seat us at the sushi bar on Christmas Day night. Everything we tried was fabulous including my white oden and a tofu dish. The menu is quite extensive with all sorts of cold and hot dishes plus a wide s
Connect with users posting reservations for Izakaya Osen Irvine
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Izakaya Osen Irvine. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Izakaya Osen Irvine at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Izakaya Osen Irvine page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Izakaya Osen Irvine to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Izakaya Osen Irvine!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
