Owa

Owa is a contemporary Japanese restaurant and bar based on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, Los Angeles. It focuses on a modern take on sushi and Japanese classics, using from-scratch recipes and locally sourced ingredients. The space combines a sushi-forward dining room, bar, and indoor–outdoor areas, and in the evenings it often transitions into a lively, club-like atmosphere with cocktails, DJs, and a social crowd.

A charge labeled “TST* OWA 2” most likely comes from a payment processed via Toast for a purchase at Owa, with “2” referring to a specific terminal, bar, or internal location code rather than a different business. This could be from dining in the restaurant, bar tabs, shared plates, omakase or sushi orders, or hosted events. Charges might include food, drinks, tax, gratuity, and in some cases deposits or minimums for private or semi-private events.

If you’re unsure about a charge, start by checking recent receipts or email confirmations from Owa, as well as your Toast or credit card digital receipts if you signed for the bill electronically. You can also compare the transaction date and amount to the time you visited the restaurant. For further clarification, contact Owa directly using the phone number or contact form listed on their official website, and provide the date, approximate amount, and the last four digits of your card so staff can look up the check in their Toast POS system. Dispute the transaction with your card issuer only after you’ve verified it with the restaurant and still believe it is incorrect or unauthorized.
