    Suimono soup and house salad
    Debby O.

    I went for the hibachi option, I don't remember the name of my drink, but it gave exactly what it was supposed to. I really enjoyed the chef's sense of humor and cooking. The appetizer soup didn't really have any flavor. I really liked the dressing that they put on the house salad, it was very refreshing. I really enjoyed the fried rice and noodles, they had a very nice smoky garlicky flavor. I felt like the overall portion was less than I would've expected compared to other hibachi spots.

    Wow....food was delicious!!!!!! Service was great! Brought my daughter for her bday only to find out kids eat free today! Will be back!!!

    The place was huge and spacious. Very nice aesthetic. We have our server Maya who helped us throughout the process since it was our very first time eating there. She was an amazing server. Very friendly and very accommodating. She was very patient with all our requests and we received such great customer service. We were shown how to order through the qr code. Everything came quickly but some rolls came a bit later because it takes longer to make them. We also had one server who helped us serve our food and such. We had a wonderful time since we were celebrating 3 birthdays they gave them 3 wonderful ice cream with happy birthday on it. It was very special and the ladies sang to them. It was such a wonderful experience. We would surely go back because this was such a wonderful time. And i loved their Flaming tuna with chips it was so great i ordered 3 times! I loved everything!

    This is a pretty decent Japanese restaurant offers all-you-can-eat menu including sushi, sashimi, hibachi items, dim sum items, noodles and rice. They also have hibachi menu with chef cooking in front of you. However, for some reason, when we are there our table is a bit sticky. Other than that, the food is as expected, the wide-range of food selection is very good.

    This is a huge restaurant! Half is for hibachi and half regular restaurant. It was uncomfortably warm to the point I asked the waitress and she said the air conditioning had not been working well. We had the all you can eat sushi and Japanese appetizers. You order from an app on your phone. You cannot over order or they will charge you - 1$ per piece of sushi or 15$ per pound for take out box. Food: Excellent / favorites - handmaid shrimp Shumai (steamed) very good, Kani Rangoon, sex on the beach sushi roll, kiss of fire sushi roll, tuna amazing roll, yellow tail appetizer Good - ponzu oyster, fried gyoza, seaweed salad, flaming tuna chips, fried shrimp shumai, mochi, spicy tuna roll, yellow tail scallion roll Wouldn't get again - fried oyster, pork soup dumplings (very bland), kalbi beef rib (dry) There was a lot more we didn't try. I would definitely come back and try other things! Value was awesome for AYCE for 33$

    I highly recommend AYCE!! sushi was amazing! You can order through your phone, which is also a great idea because you don't have to wait for your server. Food was coming out fast and drinks were strong. Inside was cute. It's divided into two sides, which is nice. Hibachi on one side and then tables on the other side for all you can eat. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves sushi. They didn't have pork buns or the soup dumplings.

    Came here on a whim for lunch and it was great! They offer hibachi as well as all-you-can-eat sushi which is very cool. We didn't have enough time for AYCE so we just ordered a couple rolls to split. It seemed like they only had 1 server for the whole section so getting her attention was rather difficult but I don't blame her. The sushi was delicious and I would definitely come back!

    Shrimp tempura roll and salmon poke tacos
    An A.

    Excellent happy hour!! A group of us choose an assortment of maki and specialty rolls along with other appetizers for an early dinner. We loved the salmon roll, shrimp tempura roll and the angry dragon roll. Service was great, parking was easy. We will come back!!

    Amanda S.

    Food: the AYCE was spectacular. I have my favorite AYCE sushi lunch, but here it's for dinner too. I went with friends but was so impressed, I plan on taking my family here too. Service: super fast, you order through an iPad and the food comes out within minutes. I will say, do not over order because they charge I think $15 per pound for food that is not eaten. Ambiance: so cute, a lot of people were here on dates.

Even without a reservation, I was seated immediately, which was a great first impression. The service was excellent. Our server mentioned it was her first day, but you would never have guessed as she was attentive, warm, and handled everything beautifully. The food truly stood out. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The hibachi experience was just as enjoyable. The chef was entertaining, skilled, and added a fun, engaging touch to the meal. The restaurant itself is clean, inviting, and has a great atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great sushi or hibachi experience.

I think that the customer service was excellent and the chef had charisma, personality, and should do stand up, he was a pleasure and a joy such a guy with rizz. My issue was the food itself as the rice was amazing but did not age well being taken back home for take out, and the chicken and salmon were not as flavorful as a homemade version I would had cooked so there was the blandness. I ended up having digestive issues and got sick for a day or two after eating from here which was disappointing, because the vibe is awesome in this spot and the positive energy is contagious. I felt so relaxed and joyous here. I think the food can be cooked better even though they are generous with excellent portion sizes. I think it is a strong contender for one of the best restaurants in the region if they step the food preparation up. I also did not like this sauce they provided, but it does have better customer service than the typical DMV spots which tend to struggle with the customer service, so they get an A with that making you feel welcomed and respected and not strictly transactional experience, very warm, nice, attentive, diligent, and hard working staff, so they have the bones here, so once they step up the actual food prep and quality then they will be 4 to 5 stars easily. That is all I got!

My cook name was Raz and he was pretty good. He was quick,very polite accommodating and professional. I was surprised they didn't make us wait for a whole table to fill up like most hibachi's do. The food was really good and the drinks were ok. Only issue was the drinks took a long time to be prepared which I didn't understand because there were only a handful of full of people there and they were wrapping it up when I arrived. This was overall a great dining experience and I'm sure I'll return for another experience.

    We were looking forward for a fun, dining experience for our grandmother's birthday. Unfortunately,…read morethe experience was lackluster. Ambiance: We visited on a Friday around 1pm, and the place was completely empty. I don't need it to be packed to capacity, but when you are coming for a birthday, you want the place to be lively. The restaurant has TVs, but the Hibachi doesn't, so it felt pretty lame. Service: The service felt apathetic. Our waitress seemed a bit unenthused. We noted that one person in our party had a shellfish allergy. This seemed to put the waitress in a bit of a panic. She came back afterward with a list of ingredient and insisted that we take a picture of the ingredients listing. I explained to her that I didn't need to take a photo. She insisted. Finally, I had to say, "I promise, we are not going to sue you. All you have to simply do is not give one person any shrimp." The chef gave a really watered down performance, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. When he did the first fire trick, a couple of people jumped back in fear. So, I think he decided to keep it very vanilla, so I will give a pass, but it did make for a boring experience. He also gave me fried rice instead of steamed, but no biggie. They did give grandma a birthday dessert, so bonus points for that. Food: I thought the food was pretty good. One person thought the rice was too salty. Other than that, it was typical hibachi. It actually tasted better as leftovers later when the flavors got more familiar with one another. Conclusion: Due to the atmosphere and generic service, I probably wouldn't visit again. I especially wouldn't visit again for a birthday celebration. Midday Friday may not be the most peak time, but I know there are other restaurants that can provide a more festive birthday experience.

However, in the years since the pandemic, I can't help but feel like the quality of the food's gone down. I'm not sure if the recipe's changed or if they're using different ingredients - but it's just not that good anymore. I recently got the chicken hibachi for their lunch special and immediately, one of the things I first noticed was just how rubbery the chicken pieces were. They also tasted off and not even the yum yum sauce (which I'm pretty sure is different from the one they used to have) could save the taste. They also have a different mushroom soup now that has a lot more spice in it and the taste doesn't match with how it used to be. That being said, I will say that my wife has always enjoyed their sushi here and has never had a complaint on that. Also - the staff here have always been super kind and attentive. We've never had a single issue with the folks that work here. I can't speak of the atmosphere or state of the restaurant since I haven't dined here since 2013. Osaka's is also another staple of Culpeper and frankly - tastes better than Dragon Chef in my opinion. I just wish my recent experiences were as good as my old ones. If nothing else, the staff here are amazing and their sushi is worth coming back here for again and again. Best pricing for their lunch specials!

They choose Azumi for her husband's 60th birthday celebration and had to ask the server about how they would celebrate him since the check was about to arrive and nothing had happened.

She said multiple times they wouldn't go back and how disappointed her husband was with his birthday dinner experience while telling me the story.

I may have to fully recruit her to the Yelp family so she can do her research first although she stated her husband seen them on Tik Tok or IG. I have learned from that as well.
