Ezumiya is widely appreciated for its generous portion sizes, reasonably priced menu, and authentic Japanese cuisine, with particular praise for sashimi, fried chicken sets, and the Daily Lunch Set that offers variety. The restaurant tends to attract larger groups and families, highlighted by its accommodating atmosphere and small gifts for children. Although it can be crowded, especially on Friday nights, customers find the wait worthwhile due to the quality of the food. Friendly staff support customers in menu selection despite limited English communication and the absence of an English menu. Overall, Ezumiya is recommended for both locals and visitors seeking a satisfying and affordable dining experience in the Minamiuonuma area.

I like this place! Food is delicious and portion sizes are big. Compare to the restaurant in the other side of urasa station, this place’s food is reasonably cheap. Perfect for large groups. For reservations you can come and order in advance. Also they have small gifts for kids

本気丼おすすめ！ I really recommend you to come here try the sashimi and try the Fried Chicken set. Even though you have to wait for a long time for your meal. I think it's worthy to wait for a long time. Please come earlier, it is very crowded at Friday night.

A group of 4 people including a child visited on a Tuesday night at around 7pm. The restaurant didn't have any customers when we visited. My friend said usually this place is crowded on friday nights. After about 30 minutes people started coming and the place got crowded. The staff was friendly and helped us select items from the menu. There was no english menu and I don't think the staff spoke English as well. The food was good and portion sizes were big. We couldn't find some of the rice we ordered. Sorry. The toilet signs can be a little confusing. If you want to do number 2, there was only the female toilet available for that.
