“excellent food. Best sushi and hibachi rice“

“Always a gem! I work in Hboro and come here multiple times a month for their sushi lunch special. Delicious salad and miso soup with three rolls. I've had pretty much each roll on their menu and they have all been delicious. Lastly, Lee's has been a family owned business for many, many years. Please support small businesses!“

“Always fresh! Owners are wonderful people’“

“good sushi“

“Everything was SO delicious ❤️“

“This place exceeded expectations. 100/10. I really enjoyed this quiet, clean restaurant. The food was exceptional and everything my partner and I ordered came out amazing. Portions are very big, the quality of meat is a 10/10, the broth taste incredible with lots of veggies, and the prices are reasonable. I will 100% be back here. Great experience, thank you.“

“My family just moved to the area and has been looking for a new favorite sushi place, so we decided to give Osaka a try first. Looks like the search is over! Osaka has some of the most delicious sushi we have ever had. We’ve only been here for a couple months and have already ordered food from Osaka twice! Me and my family especially love the Torched King Salmon Roll and the Crazy Roll. There is a huge variety of different kinds of sushi, from basic rolls to very complex and unique ones. We are definitely going to be trying more of those sushi dishes in the future!

But wait, there’s more! In addition to sushi, Osaka has a gigantic menu filled with TONS of dishes. I thought, they can’t possibly do all these dishes well, there’s just too many options. We haven’t tried all of them yet and don’t think we would ever be able to, but we did also order some hibachi style dishes and so far they have proved me wrong! We have tried the steak, chicken, and shrimp dinners and they all came out delicious. The seasoning on the proteins was balanced well, the veggies cooked so that they still had a bit of crunch to them, and the noodles were garlicky and full of flavor (my personal favorite)! The only minor downside is that the hibachi dishes do not come with fried rice, so we ordered it separately. It was also amazing! The second time we ordered food from Osaka, we got extra noodles and fried rice because they were so tasty.

The hibachi dishes each come with a side of yum yum sauce and mustard sauce for dipping. We ordered some extra sauce the second time around because we ran out the first time. When we got home we realized we were missing some of the extra sauces, so we called Osaka to see if we could come back to pick them up. They were so apologetic and said we could absolutely come back for more sauces. When we opened the bag, not only had they given us the sauce we ordered, but they also gave us FOUR extra sauces of each flavor and some free gyoza!

Overall, I highly recommend this place. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the orders are ready in a timely fashion. If you choose to eat here, you will not be disappointed!“

“The food tasted great. In the soup there were different tastes and textures. This made it interesting. Service was quick. The presentation of the food was very nice. Staff was friendly.
The atmosphere is not bad but it can be improved.“

“fresh food and friendly staff.“

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...“

“I ordered salmon with scallops. Got a small piece of salmon with 5 scallops. Entree was around 48 dollars. Also got charged for empty wine glasses for BYOB. They added a whopping 20% gratuity on top. Talk about nickel and diming. The chef was trying hard to entertain over the hibachi station but needed a lot of practice. I think the place overcharges for what they deliver.“

“I tried vegan specialty Mango Tango roll, it was awesome tasty & excellent. The Ginger & Wasabi was very fresh. The taste was amazing, but it'd be nice if they have little bigger portion

Vegetarian options: They have vegan normal & specialty rolls“

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!“

“I came on a Saturday after work. I was really craving some takeout sushi and this was really close so I tried it. I arrived earlier than my pickup time and waited inside. It was packed! I couldnt find parking to pickup my takeout order lol, and their parking lot is pretty huge for a stand a lone building!!
It was a little loud inside, but there was live music and the bar looked nice. I also noticed though several people waiting in the lobby waiting to be seated; it took a while for the host/server to show up to ask about my meal. It was ready at the time it said it was. The packaging was very premium, down to the ramekins with the sauces and reusable bag. Sushi was spectacular and at a VERY good price... Yellowtail roll had plenty of fish. Sashimi is reasonably priced and they are generous with the pieces... unlike some places that'll have half the roll be rice.
Will be coming here again; maybe during a quieter dine-in period though, and will update my review if I decide to sit down one day.“

“So I've never been much of a sushi person, but my last trip here with friends changed my mind on that so now I'm locked in sushi mode ! I really like the all you can eat aspect so I can sample a little bit of everything and I really enjoyed my Seafood Udon, mackerel and crab sashimi, Edison rolls and more ! Want to come here soon !“

“All you can eat!! Fresh fish!“

“First time here. Young lady at register was super friendly. Convinced me to try to chicken teriyaki when I wasn't sure what to grab. I think Mia was her name. Young spanish girl. It was delicious. Hot and fresh. Would return. Nice vibe. Friendly staff. Appreciated the help!“

“Midori is our local Go To for consistently good sushi. We've been going here for a few years now since they reopened a while after COVID. My neighbor's turned us on to the place when they ordered sushi platters during and after COVID since they didn't open their dining area until much after most places had already opened. Their sushi and food has remained consistent with quality and taste and never failed us. Sushi is always fresh tasting and lots of variety of specialty rolls also. My kids really love the chicken katsu dinner and always get that. Their Kani salad is one of the best I've had around the area. Their dining area is nice and large with plenty of seating and is a great atmosphere. They are BYOB also, which is a plus. It you are from the area you are missing out if you don't have Midori as one of your go to local sushi spots. You won't be disappointed.“

“I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist.“

“We celebrated a family birthday at Yutaka Hibachi in Somerville, and it was an unforgettable experience! The chefs are incredibly skilled and entertaining, making the meal both delicious and fun. Everyone in our group was impressed by the quality of the food—from perfectly cooked steak and shrimp to fresh sushi and tasty fried rice.“
