"The Williamsburg Downs Shopping Center is now home to two legit Japanese restaurants: Sushi Kichi and this moody, modern izakaya fronted by a zen garden. Owner Tim Liu (Mikado Sushi, Boku Sushi) seemingly spared no expense in outfitting his slick, tourist-sector resto but Japanese woodwork and handmade ceramics aside, the menu is a crowd-pleasing amalgam of all things Japanese. From ramen and robata-grilled kushiyaki to temaki and wagyu tastings, Oza’s menu ups the game for out-of-towners and Williamsburg residents alike." - Faiyaz Kara
