“We had dinner here while visiting family in the area. The place looks nice & inviting. We chose to sit inside as the evening was a little cool. It was rather busy, tables all around us were full of ppl eating various plates of food. I noticed a table to our left & our right both had a very creamy & delicious looking Mac & cheese. I searched the menu & saw there were 2 options for Mac & cheese. One was under the kids menu section & the other was on the regular menu but with lobster, called Lobster Mac & cheese, it was $15. I thought of wow they must load the Mac & cheese with lobster for that price. I asked our waitress when she returned to take our order if the size of the Lobster mac & cheese was the same size as the ones on either table to our left or right? She looked at the table on one side of us & confirmed it was indeed the same portion size, so I then asked if it would have enough lobster in it for that price. She said that she thought it was a good portion of lobster in the Mac & cheese. So we ordered our plates & I ordered the lobster Mac & cheese. I sat there enjoying our conversation practically salivating thinking about the creamy delicious lobster Mac & cheese. When our food came out it didn't all come at once but was staggered, as the first items were brought out before the Mac & cheese, I was distracted by the other entree's when it was delivered. Well boy was I ever disappointed in what they actually delivered to our table as lobster Mac & cheese. Firstly it did not look anything like the creamy delicious looking Mac & cheese that I had pointed out to our server earlier. It was not creamy or cheesy like the other. It wasn't even the same pasta, it was relatively dry & had seasoning & onions in it & 3 teeny tiny little pieces of lobster set on top in the middle. I am not usually one to complain, but this was inedible for myself because it was full of onions, which was something I had asked the waitress about in another dish before ordering & would have thought she would have explained that the kids Mac & cheese was Not the same as the lobster Mac & cheese & also made me aware that the lobster Mac & cheese included onions. When she finally returned to our table I attempted to get her to just remove it from our bill as I wasn't going to eat it. She told me it wasn't in their policy to remove the lobster Mac & cheese from the bill & acted like she wouldn't even go ask a manager about it. I asked if I could have her remove the lobster Mac & cheese from the table & replace it with what I had actually wanted & pointed to at the other tables earlier. She finally left to I assume ask & then a couple minutes later she returned & said she was sorry but they would Not remove it from the bill or replace it with the kids Mac & cheese either! We paid our bill & I again looked at the menu on our way out to confirm that it did not describe the lobster Mac & cheese as a different pasta, having seasoning & onions in it. It did Not! First they should clearly describe the lobster Mac & cheese in the menu & secondly they should Not expect customers to pay for something they absolutely will Not eat because of hidden ingredients in their meal. This place put a bad taste in our mouth & we will Not be back while visiting family again.“

“My wife and I arrived from Ar. 06/16/22 and saw AFU and had dinner there. It was great. We both had the seafood combo and lobster bisque and it was by far the best meal we had on our trip. Don’t pass this place up.“

“my husband had baby octopus very tender and delicious. I had Dumplings yummy. Dinner Thai Panang curry chicken and Orange chicken we both ordered spicy and it was cooked perfectly. Highy recommend Osaka. we will definitely go back loved it. Great friendly service waiter awesome.“

“We had two signature items from the menu that we have had many times. Not up to par this time (9-21-22). French onion soup was like warm. Mediterranean appetizer over browned. Italian pasta salad needed more oil and grated cheese. The added tofu was practically burnt and flavorless.“

“scrummptios and skillful fry techniques made for a melt in the mouth oyster and okra explosion production. it was probably one of the best gaatronimic experiences of my 13 years in Sylva. One of those stays that started with a good news of oyster availability moment followed by Carlos. The streams veggies were exploding with color and exciting tastes. My tea glass stayed full. Angie kept us entertained and our drink glasses filled. yummo. will deturn...“

“I had put in reservation that it was my fiancé birthday, and they had little confetti on table when we got seated. That was so nice! The waiter I wish I remembered his name but he was so helpful and awesome . It was our first time eating at Ruth Chris and it was perfect. Thank you“
