Fantastic experience and incredible selection of fish. It felt simultaneously elevated and laidback. I was able to try fish I’ve never had before and will likely not be able to try again. This is a place I would go out of my way to go to again if I ever find myself back in Orlando.

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.

What a fantastic meal. Our server, Jada, was wonderful, friendly and helpful. Every recommendation she gave was delicious. We ordered the premium all you can eat meal and because 2 people win the party were over 60, we saved a bunch.
