“Awesome sushi and affordable prices“

“My son and daughter-in-law frequent this restaurant often and suggested we give it a try because we always fail finding great places to eat and enjoy. Well look no further because Osaka is definitely going to be our go to at least once a week!! First of all, the place is really clean. We were greeted at the door, the service was phenomenal, and the food was fresh and top-notch.👌🏾 When we left the restaurant, our conversation on the way back home was critiquing how great this place was!! I hope that each and every time we decide to choose this place, we have the same feelings. If not better!! Osaka, you've really outdone yourself!!! Chefs 💋“

“Our favorite sushi spot!!“

“This place never disappoints. Happy Valentine's Day 💘 thank you for a great night. We enjoyed it and the service was great.“

“Passed by here during work and ordered something I've never had. It was great. Now I'm attempting to try out the whole menu. So far everything is wonderful. Even the dishes I am already familiar with have been done just different enough that it's a completely different flavor, in a good way. I have turned my family and coworkers on to this hidden little gem as well. We all love it. If you like heat, anything can be made spicy. Just ask. This has become my new favorite spot. The dine in option is really small, so large groups may be a problem. The staff couldn't be more friendly. Highly recommend a visit. So far my favorite dish is the curry with green sauce. (Spicy)“

“Absolutely love ❤️ this place“

“Been coming here for years now and I have not once left disappointed. Our waiter might as well know us by name. A lot of people might order take out from here but I prefer to sit and enjoy as the food always comes out hot and delicious. I've tried a lot of different rolls but my favorite is the Super Crunchy Roll.“

“We had a great chef! Good was excellent!“

“Excellent sushi every time. Reasonably priced with a great atmosphere.“

“I usually go there with my son and husband. All three of us have very different taste. this is the only restaurant we no one has to compromise. We all get exactly what we like. Our son likes Sushi, my husband likes Chinese, I like American. We try to go early because it's cheaper and we get a senior discount as well. we help ourselves to the food so there is no wait time. A refill of your drink is done very quickly. The atmosphere is also very nice. No loud music and the waiters a friendly and polite.“

“I had their Bulgogi beef, and it was excellent! The rice has plenty of flavor without being overly fried, doused in excessive seasoning, or filler veggies like peas. It is minimal for rice, but done very well and gives lots of meat in exchange. The veggie hibachi might be what you'd want with the rice, I've got to return to see. At the counter there's a notice saying they don't use MSG because they care (I think those concerns are overblown). When I first came in I was somewhat confused by the jewelry counter, but I saw art everywhere from the tables to the ceiling so I came around to like it.“

“Cute little spot we found near us. The aesthetics are so cute and I love how they have dining areas and regular casual seating areas. I definitely made me want to come back here just to sit over some coffee. The oxtail pho I had was pretty good, and the Korean bowl my bf had was tasty! We also had the Vietnamese street tacos, which was delicious. I’m not sure which noodles it was, but it’s similar to the ones used for lo mein, that was alright. Flavor wasn’t really savory, mainly just some sweet sauce.

3 stars for service because it wasn’t really that type of service. You go to the screens to order yourself then they just bring it to your table, not much said from that.

The passion fruit tea was delicious as well!“

“Fresh food. Excellent Sushi. Excellent service. Thank you!“
