14 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lake Elmo

“Our new go to sushi place! All of the appetizers and sushi rolls we’ve had have been delicious. My son requested to come here for his 6th birthday, and even my very picky eater daughter ate almost an entire entree of the udon noodles. So so good!“

“Vegetarians - The vegetarian apps were tasty. The Ramen can be made with vegetarian broth / stock (tell the server in advance!). The vegetarian noodles were pretty lackluster, dry and limited in flavor. The staff / owners are very friendly. The bubble tea was delicious. Overall a good stop in the area for a nice hang!“

“Definitely would recommend. Food was amazing and service was excellent.“

“Excellent food and you can watch them make your meal! Staff are friendly and authentic! Love this place!“

“Frankie was great at recommending the right single malt!“

“Definitely recommend this place in Woodberry it’s a little dark in there but it seems nice their service is a little slow but the food is good!“

“One of my favorite food places in the mall. The Hibachi service is kinda neat just to watch for what you pay for. Drizzle some Bourbon Chicken on top, I can eat that everyday. Nevermind the Beta Male Karens complaining about wearing masks (NPC/mindless drone) or assumptions about the employees giving them looks...You just get your food and eat it!“

“The service was great and the food was even better. What a hidden gem!“

“So tasty, amazing 1st time at an all you can eat sushi and it was so fresh and delicious! Great variety on the menu, and super tasty ice cream. Only tried the sushi and the duck-which was amazing but low on the meat. Will definitely be back!“

“Yesterday was the first time we went to this magnificent restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We had great time with the good service, with the excellent cooking and wine and with the decent charge. We will absolutely return there in a short time.“

“Please ensure you retain your receipt for a week or so, until your transaction clears from your bank. On 2/15, we dined and We paid with our debit card. We also provided a $20 cash tip to our waiter name Eve. We are perplexed as to how we were overcharged. The tipping section on our bill was crossed off by us. It does not make sense for us to be overcharged. We will be contacting you again to discuss this matter further. The amount on the receipt differs from the amount you charged us. There is a discrepancy of $30. Could you please clarify the reason for this overcharge?!! We've called multiple times and everytime, you guys said there were no management on duty. smfh!!“

“Food is really fresh, hot and full of flavor.“

“We got our meals to go this past weekend. Osaka has perfected their takeout orders. Not only was the Hibachi chicken and shrimp with fried rice perfectly cooked and seasoned, but their to go order packaging was phenomenal. They even packaged the soup, salad and extra yum yum sauce perfectly. The young man at the front of house was incredibly friendly and our food was ready a couple minutes earlier than stated time. You get so much food with Hibachi dinners we had enough leftovers for dinner the following day as well. I absolutely recommend this location!“

“The staff is great! Food taste amazing, overall a great atmosphere. Didn't mind grabbing a drink at the bar while we waited for an awesome show!

Kid-friendliness: The servers are so great with kids! They gave the kids crayons and paper to have some fun with.“
