   Had a wonderful time! The service was awesome, very attentive. Food was absolutely delicious. We got there in time for happy hour, which had great specials. We had the shishito peppers, octopus balls, and then tonkatsu ramen to end. Everything was top notch! Highly recommend

   We just returned from three weeks in Japan and we’re missing the cuisine. This place has a wide variety of Izakaya Staples, and will become a regular place for us.

   Great food, huge amount! Couldn't eat half of my pork / rice dish. Atmosphere is - eh - too bright. But fine for lunch. Service was okay, felt like there was an attitude when I asked for a fork and knife. But they let us linger a little at lunch, which puts this spot in a positive light! Much appreciated

   The atmosphere at Sozai was serene and charming, perfect for a quick business lunch or catch up with a friend. The menu is exceptionally appealing with sushi, ramen and kitchen entrees, with lunch special set deals as well. My friend and I tried the Hamachi don and the Spicy Tonkatsu ramen lunch specials, each of which came with a choice of miso soup or house salad. My friend enjoyed the soup and raved about the hamachi which was especially fresh and delicious. My ramen was delicious -- rich broth and spicy with delicious slices of meaty pork. I can't wait to go back.

   The food was amazing, but when we got there for our reservation they didn’t have anything ready for us and had us sit at the table that was supposed to be ours while another couple was sitting there still finishing our meal.

   Really fun experience. Great atmosphere with booth seating that provides the opportunity for quiet conversation. All the food was fresh and delicious, but our favorite dish was the clams in miso broth - memorable. It's the kind of place where you want to try everything on the menu, so we are looking forward to going back. Friendly and helpful service too!
