On first impressions Ozeki was a quaint Japanese restaurant. We sat down to eat and the area in which we were seated there seemed to be a birthday party happening, every table around us was filled with very loud and drunk young patrons. The noise was overwhelming and made it very hard for conversation to be had by the party of 8 I was with. The restaurant is BYO which obviously attracts young groups of people as a place for getting merry before a night out and to line their stomachs. The noise also made it incredibly difficult to order. The food came out in a timely manner but due to the sheer amount of people it is assumed there was a high demand for food on the evening. Our food came out and it just lacked a little love. At one point we asked one of the staff if we could have the bill and they refused us. We later found out it was the staff member who was collecting dishes (which is fair enough). After the group we were with one person got up to make a speech. One person from my party tried to tell them we were starting to have dinner. Immediately we were booed and jeered at by all the people around us who were there for the party. The staff did nothing to quieten the noisy and rather rambunctious patrons. I really wish we were placed in The front section of the restaurant to avoid this rather overwhelming situation. I would recommend Ozeki but on a day of the week that isnt a Friday or Saturday.

Went for dinner last night, was really really hot inside so I went outside to catch some fresh air just after being served my katsu which they make you pay for before getting - I had maybe taken two bites before i headed outside and came back inside to find the staff had cleaned up my dinner! I had only taken two bites and it wouldve been steaming! The staff definitely wanted everyone out as soon as they could and really dissatisfied that I paid for a meal I didnt even eat
