    Sushi
    Casimir P.

    My expectations were surpassed! The sushi was fantastic, not the best selection, but they did have straight up sashimi, which is fantastic, not many buffets have that. The fish tasted fresh and delicious as well. The Chinese foods were also great, the chicken was superb. Very nice clean restaurant as well, good atmosphere and cheap price. Of the best buffets in all of Memphis.

    Bland

    Another bland no taste Chinese place trying to find places I can go that's around my way of work so and waste of time and money on bland Chinese food okay well the online ordering was great they had it fast on time another knock out ugh!!!

    a variety of food items

    Nothing here tastes very good at all. The sushi was alright. I love me a big buffet, but some (not all) of it should be tasty. Many bites went into my napkin. I didn't go back for seconds of anything at all. Dinner buffet costs $14.99 per person. Server was prompt.

    Everything on this plate was awesome..

    This was our very first time coming here! Absolutely nothing special.. nothing terrible... as of March/2019 one adult lunch buffet with out a drink is $8.99.. not bad! Staff was nice but they try to force everyone to sit close together and we don't like that so we always move. Some foods were WAAAY too salty but good flavor! We will NOT be in a rush to come back here unless we're just out in this area! Ice cream are in cups too! Sushi is AWESOME

    Tempura shrimp and egg drop soup

    The food is mediocre. They have the typical section of Chinese cuisine. The best thing was the black pepper and the hot and spicy chicken, fried rice, and the rice noodles. I have yet to find a really great Chinese buffet. Bathrooms were disgusting! I won't be returning.

    Very fresh!

They just ask steamed or fried rice. But if you say fried when you get the bill you'll see the up charge line itemed. Not sure if that's gonna apply to the lunch specials as well in 2026. It's served in a separate bowl that's heaping full ... but the wait staff's finger was dug deep inside the rice when carrying it. Never saw her before but it was a bit off putting. Super crowded on a Saturday night. Standing room only. Heard one person say best restaurant in town. Just an fyi, I found a bone in one of my sashimi. Never happened before. But just be mindful, especially if giving to your kids or if you're like me and stuff the whole piece in your mouth. In the past we used to come and the Chinese staff and owner were super nice to us. And that was part of the charm of always going back. Kinda like going to Cheers where everybody knows your name. Nowadays it really just seems more like any other business. And so times change. With that, I think we will take a break from making this our go to spot in the future.

The fried rice is what I remember! Recently Stix's fried rice has seemed to have gotten way more basic but Osaka has really stepped theirs up!! For example, Osaka uses seasoned butter, vegetables, egg, soy sauce, and chicken in their rice. Stix only uses egg and soy sauce now. The difference is very clear and I now prefer Osaka! I also LOVED Osaka's sushi. Talk about having sushi for days- my only complaint is I wish they'd make it easier to tell which rolls are deep fried and that they'd make the menu easier to open. I don't mind a huge menu, but one that I have to spread over two seats is not good. I have to admit, the chicken hibachi wasn't as good as I was hoping for, but I really liked the shrimp. I wish they had some spicy sauce besides sriracha to add to my food, like chili paste. But I guess I'll just get shrimp next time instead. The sushi though was great! I may also just stick to getting sushi here instead of anything else. The Yamabuki rill is so good but it's so big it's difficult to fit into my mouth in one bite. I have jaw problems so I might just have to cut this one in half. It's definitely good enough to get again.

The quality, cleanliness, and customer service have gone downhill badly. I ordered hibachi to go and opened my food at work only to find a long black hair inside my meal. It was absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. This is a serious cleanliness and food safety issue. After work, I returned to the restaurant to give them a chance to fix THEIR mistake. Instead, the owner was incredibly rude, dismissive, and showed zero concern. She refused to remake the food or take responsibility even though it would have cost her next to nothing to correct. Finding hair in food is bad enough. Being treated like you don't matter afterward is even worse. If the owner doesn't care about hygiene or customers, neither should you. This was my last visit, and I strongly advise anyone reading this to take your money elsewhere.

We've even gotten delivery before and it was ok. But today the food was super cold. The hibachi shrimp was so overcooked that it was practically burnt. See picture. I know that the delivery person picked it up as soon as it was ready because I can see the pickup in the app. So it's the restaurant's fault for not maintaining the temperature. I don't understand how the kitchen can allow burnt shrimp to go out when you can can clearly see it. Also the portion of shrimp was very skimpy. Not sure what's going on with the restaurant tonight but it seems like they just don't care about the quality of the takeout or delivery food.

I had to add my name to their waiting list through the iPad in the front desk. Real quick and simple. We were seated within 10 minutes. The service is very different than usual.

The gyoza dumplings were absolutely phenomenal. The sauce on top was delicious. They were perfectly crisp and overall the flavor will bring us back! The ramen bowls, whilst both were ordered with black garlic, one arrived with black and one arrived with white garlic broth (you can tell the difference by the flavor and the color of the broths in one of my uploaded pictures) The dark garlic bowl was by far better than the white garlic bowl. The white garlic broth was very fatty (there was a separated layer of oil on top) and was very bland in flavor. This in conjunction with the fact that there was absolutely no sort of sodium available whether through a sauce form or in the form of a salt shaker or something on the table, made a majority of the bowl inedible for me personally. The chashu pork was very good, the egg was nothing special, the other additions to the bowl didn't do much to aid it. At the end, I did try my husbands broth and it was a lot better than mine was and would've changed a lot of my feedback about my bowl. We also ordered the passion fruit drink from Tbaar and it was absolutely AMAZING. I will absolutely be back to grab this drink over and over again. The ambiance inside was great. We loved how they have the entire place set up, they're very fast to come to help when you press the button. You are otherwise not bothered at all. There's a ton of seating options. It looks really cool in there and the little booths have a curtain separator so it feels really private, which is nice. We will be back, we will probably just bring some salt with us next time.
