Ozeki Ramen & Sushi Izakaya is now open in Southlake Town Square. The new restaurant offers a variety of Japanese favorites including izakaya, ramen and sushi.
Owner Shawn Kim says he and his cousin chef Aden, who has 18 years of experience in the restaurant industry, were attracted to Southlake because of its range of amenities and emphasis on memorable dining experiences.
“We were trying to figure out which area would be most attractive, and we ended up in Southlake luckily,” Shawn says. “We realized there is no good Japanese restaurant around here.”
They also saw the restaurant as an opportunity to invest in Southlake’s future growth.
“Southlake is a pretty small town, but it has a lot of potential,” Shawn says. “There are a lot of good restaurants available, and we are adding a pretty new style to the area.”
Ozeki Ramen & Sushi is located at 432 Grand Ave. W. and is open Sunday – Thursday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday – Saturday 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Because they are currently undergoing a soft opening, Ozeki Ramen & Sushi Izakaya is offering a limited menu.
