My only complaint is that when my glucose level dropped very low, I asked for a cup so I could get some ice and drink something to raise my sugar. Unfortunately, I never received the cup. As someone living with diabetes, this was not only disappointing but also concerning, since timely support in those moments is very important. I truly hope this can be improved for the safety and care of future guests.”“

“Sexy jalapeño my favorite! If you haven’t tried…… try it!!!“

“Great service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“Nothing less than phenomenal. Everything was hot, everything was fresh, and everything tasted amazing. Will definitely be coming back whenever in the area. Fairly priced as well...can't beat that.“

“WOW! I got the Aka Oni Karaka, no corn, plus spicy miso paste. 🗣BEST ramen I have ever had. The service was also top notch. Told Ariel what I usually like and he suggested this bowl. No regrets of any carbs in this bowl. I WILL BE BACK for this same exact meal.“

“I super love Akira Ramen, I love their Volcano Ramen,it's the best Ramen ever!Worth the price.They have all sorts of authentic Japanese dishes that you'll love. I also love their sushi plus, all of the staff are approachable, especially Emily. So....what are you waiting for? Come and visit Akira Ramen ,THE BEST RAMEN IN MARYLAND. 🥰❤“

“Their Tiger Roll is by far the best shrimp tempura roll I’ve ever had. So good I ate it twice in one day and I don’t live right around the corner either. Plus their prices are awesome, especially when calling in to pickup rather than using a delivery service. I’m kicking myself for just now knowing how great this place is for as long as I’ve been in the area.“

“There is always someone cleaning the tables and the environment is SO clean and comfortable. Especially the service too, they are so nice and patient with customers. AND the FOOD, it is so DELICIOUS, the portion is really good, they also give out extra sauces without charging extra 😋😋“

“Good Food!!!! Good Service!!!“

“The food is awesome!!! The steak was cooked perfect and the Fried Ceab Roll is a must!!!“

“This place is so fun if you love a variety of Asian foods, and this evening I happened to walk in on a fantastic live jazz band playing by the bar. Last time, we had Korean tacos and tempura, this time I’m having croffles, miso soup, and spaghetti. (I know it’s weird but it’s all so delicious)“

“One of my favorite restaurants ever here in MD!! Great service ALWAYS.I was always treated wonderfully & the staff are amazin..Best place to get Teriyaki Salmon sheimp as the portion size is huge & always leaves me satisfied

I always recommend this place for their Great food & service“

“One of the restaurants inside the Stamp Student Union. Seating in common Stamp dining area. Great poke bowls. Consistently delicious.
Michelle is the sweetest! She deserves a raise!

Parking: It’s on UMD campus so look at umd website for parking details. I wouldn’t recommend driving here.“

“Never been here all 4 years, but found it a couple weeks ago and I can’t get enough. Love the lunch deal it comes with two rolls and a soup which is the perfect amount of the food. The fish taste very fresh and the portions are great for the price. Highly recommend.“

“What is it about astronaut-types who love sushi? This might be a generalization but Osaka is a NASA haunt. I’m pretty sure this sushi restaurant’s bread-and-butter is due in part to the fact they are literally across the street from NASA and know how to serve delicious sushi with decades of veteran expertise.

Osaka Japanese Restaurant offers tasty and reliable dishes. And has for many years. It does not have a fusion menu or flashy decor. It does has traditional Japanese fare that you will enjoy and likely come back for.

The sushi bar, itself, is small. I’ve sat at it a few times, over the years, and found it a friendly and comfortable place to dine alone. The service in the large dining area is usually austere and efficient. I’ve only ever seen one waiter work the entire restaurant at night and he does it well.

When we dined here, recently, I was in a Japanese comfort food mood. So, this review is devoid of any raw seafood reflections. There are many, many options outside of sushi to choose from at Osaka.

I was relieved to know that our dishes came with miso soup and a ginger dressing salad, as should be normal at full-service Japanese restaurants. The dressing was so good that I sipped most all it after the salad was gone. I lost all of my dignity and sipped it like soup.

I ordered a Bento Box. The Bento Boxes are impressive, here, because of their variety and portion size. We enjoyed Bento Box “B,” with salmon teriyaki, 6 California rolls, shrimp and vegetable tempura, gyoza dumplings and white rice.

I wouldn’t dare ask for a California roll substitution because I’m guessing everyone else does and classically Bento Boxes are not ‘make your own’. But I abhor the painted-red faux crabmeat in California rolls which one finds at many restaurants and markets. Not these rolls, at Osaka, however! I actually more-than-liked their California rolls and Ican honestly say I do not usually eat them without removing the meat. Not here. This is really saying a lot about their food quality, here. I didn’t ask but I think they actually use real crab meat instead of the pollock or otherwise fish blend that 95% of places use in California rolls. When you’re in the state of Maryland eating California rolls, faux crab meat is heresy.

The salmon teriyaki in the Bento Box B was a tastey surprise! It was super-fresh, perfectly seared and not overcooked. The shrimp tempura were average/fine. The vegetable tempura was even better: asparagus, eggplant and a yam. I think the fried coating could have been lighter and airier but it was not too thick.

The gyoza dumplings were a definite stand-out: were these homemade?! They must have been because they were expertly seasoned, delightfully herby and aromatic. Must get more gyoza!

Entree #2 was pork katsu called Ton Katsu. The pork was good but I much prefer their chicken katsu. The person I was sharing these dishes with preferred pork. It was good and well-seasoned. The ton katsu sauce was complex and the umami was definitely there. It was thick, smoky and dark. Not at all sweet. We also requested the sweeter teriyaki sauce on the side and I ended up using equal parts of each.

The second standout at Osaka was the cabbage side dish which came with the pork ton katsu entree. This was a lovely and unique presentation of thinly-sliced cabbage along with other flavors. I don’t know if they also offer this as an appetizer but I really liked it. I also added some ginger dressing to it and tasted even better.

All in all Osaka Japanese Restaurant in Greenbelt is maybe overlooked and should never be because their sushi and entrees are at least reliably classic and good, if not delicious and - at times - even surprising.“

“Amazing place food really good“

“Finally!! I have been waiting patiently..ish 😁 for this place to open and so far so GREAT! Food is delivered hot, fresh, and yummyyyy...only thing I would say is to make descriptions on DoorDash with the difference between Hibachi and Bento, etc so it is easier to tell what comes with what item. I recommend!“

“I watched a co-worker having what I referred to as "a food fantasy". They recommended this particular location for its service and food. My waze directed me to the location which is adjacent to the JCPENNEY parking lot in a strip with 2 other businesses.I arrived midday and was welcomed by a pleasant woman near the door. Within 5-10 minutes my meal was prepared which was a combo of teriyaki chicken and shrimp with veggies, noodles, green onions, sesame seeds and extra sauce.The staff was very pleasant and appeared to work well together as a team. The portions were generous and I would definitely eat there again. After I got home I too had "a food fantasy". My vegetables were perfectly cooked, not hard or overcooked. The meats were tender, fresh and flavorable.I have since eaten at two other locations and have come back to this one for a new combo. This time I added steak and the next time I will add salmon which came highly recommended by many people.I would definitely recommend this location, the service and the food options.

Parking: In front of the business are several parking spaces. The overflow lot of JCPENNEY is available as well.“

“I’ve been coming to super Japan for the past 5 years. Safe to say they never disappoint. The food is fantastic, flavorful and delicious! I tried the Korean version of their plate and I can’t get enough. Obviously the teriyaki chicken is the most popular but if you like spicy I suggest you try the spicy Korean chicken version. It has a kick to it and you taste the peppers. Thats what I usually get. Today I ordered the spicy Korean and as you can see in the picture the portions are great! the best in the area the quality of the food is A1.“

“Nothing but love to all the people at Quickway. This place has had my back when times were tough. Good, filling food for a damn good price. The inside of the store is plain but that doesn't really matter anyways since it's takeout.“

“When I Tell You That This Is Life I'm So Glad They Open And It Was Jumping Nice Fresh And Hot Food Yesssssss Keep Up The Great Work Yalll“

“Dined in for a late lunch. Had the Singapore Noodles and really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend.“

“Affordable and fairly good bento style chicken teriyaki. They give so much food that my daughter and I shared a combo chicken & tofu with some leftovers. It’s more of a fast food Asian type of restaurant, that has an American influence. We wouldn’t come here for a nice meal, but for a quick bite.“

“Everything👍🏽 Fresh, hot, not oily. From ordering to take out was less than 20 mins.“

“Dining in is a great experience with friendly staff and a relaxing mostly quiet atmosphere. The chicken, steak, sushi, noodles vegetables everything is great. If you get just take out that's great too. I always get the orange chicken (which i cant find a place that has better Orange chicken) with fried rice vegetables, Wong tong soup and chow mein. Never had anything I didn't like and my wife loves them too. The hibachi style chicken and steak are great and the shrimp is cooked perfectly with the tails trimmed off. Sushi is prepared carefully and just everything ive had off the menu has been delicious and the servings for the price are great.“

“Good sushi with brown rice option and good steamed veggies.“

“Decent poke bowl and spring rolls. Good for a quick bite. The poke bowl seemed a bit smaller than other places Ive been to but the ingredients seemed fresh. I saw the guy who made it chopping.

Casual atmosphere. Nothing fancy at all about this place.

The service was slow but I'm not sure if it was because they were short staffed or what. You could tell the workers were hustling. They did pretty well for the amount of orders coming in and amount of staff they had but there was a bit of a wait. I saw some other patrons getting a bit impatient. But otherwise good. Id go back for a quick bite.“

“I placed a Door dash order so I can't speak to the atmosphere. However the food was amazing. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Combo, the Shrimp Bento Box, Spring Rolls, and the Dancing Shrimp Roll. The bento box was my favorite but everything was mouthwatering. I'll definitely order again from here.“

“I stumbled over this place recently when my wife asked for a sandwich from next door. I love Hibachi, so, no brainer. The store is clean, food is cooked to order, and the service is fast. Prices are reasonable.
So far, I've been back twice and tried the Chicken and Tofu, not bad. The Chicken and Salmon, I do not recommend. I think the Salmon was a little too close to expiration. And last the Chicken and Beef, excellent.
The noodles are excellent, the cabbage and carrots cooked perfectly.
The one negative I have is the staff. They are a bit brusque.
So, net result is I learned how to cook it myself.“

“My daughter and I frequent this establishment at least 2 to 3 times a month. My favorites are the honey mustard and garlic parmesan buffalo wings. I usually do a 10 piece half and half with fries and blue cheese dressing.....absolutely delicious. Prices are very reasonable as well so give them a try, you may be pleasantly pleased.“

“I had a craving for sushi and checked uber eats and they had a buy one get one free deal on a few items! We took advantage of the bogo deal and chose the sashimi appetizer (salmon, yellowtail, and tuna) and the spicy salmon roll. All of the fish were so fresh and tasty. We also grabbed an avocado salad which comes with ginger dressing. In my opinion, the dressing is a bit on the sweeter side and would have preferred less so. Definitely a winner in my book for quick service that’s dependable regarding freshness and taste!“

“Good food, good prices, had a bit of a wait when we arrived and it wasn’t crowded“
