I love Osaka! They are my favorite Japanese place in Boone, and they also have Chinese options on the menu for those who aren't crazy over Japanese. They have great portions for the price (which is great for a college student), and they include fried noodles and soup/egg roll with your order. By far my favorite place for sushi, BUT it is only available Friday, Saturday and Sunday after 4:30! They have speciality rolls but also a great 2 rolls for $6.99 and they're really good sized rolls. Would definitely recommend read more

Just skip it. Coyote Kitchen was packed and my kids were hungry, so we walked over here. It was dead, should have been our sign to keep driving. Like I said, the place was dead. And it still took 45 min for our food to come out. The best of what came out was mediocre, some of it was inedible. Wait staff was not attentive at all, spent most of their time watching the TV with their backs turned to the dining area. read more

I ordered takeout Chicken Lo Mein and this just became one of my go-tos in Boone. Taste was 3.5, nothing I'm going to be dreaming about, but very solid lo mein. Portions were 6/5, lots and lots of lo mein. The staff was friendly and the food was made quickly. Will be back soon! read more

Cheap but not very tasty lunch. Vegetables overcooked and over seasoned with sugar. Nice server though.

Heard very good things about their sushi here but sort of had my expectations lower than normal just because of or distance from the ocean but oh boy was I disappointed still. The fish itself appears to be good quality, fresh stuff but it's truly hard to tell because of how little they put in the rolls. I ordered spicy salmon, tuna avacado, and spicy yellowtail, my classic favorites. The amount of actual ingredients in a roll is truly pathetic. Some rolls literally didn't even have any fish in it at all! I've gotten cheaper sushi that have given more fish for the price and I honestly feel ripped off with the amount I received. I would not recommend. read more

Osaka Boone - Small amount of fish and other ingredient in roll - Chinese Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

Absolutely terrible business with no integrity. We were given a wrong order. Due to an allergy and they refused to refund our order or remake our food for another day. We are 20 minutes away which means we would need to drive 40 minutes to rectify their mistake. Our only option was to drive back right away. I highly advise you check your order as soon as you receive it or before you pay. They would rather keep 25 bucks, get bad reviews and lose customers for life than to make good on their mistake. Strange business move if you ask me. They also did not give me the salad that was supposed to be included. read more

Osaka is a very good place to eat! The food is amazing! Just be patient because they don't have much staff.

Ate dinner here four days ago and was fine. Ordered the same chicken cashew lunch today and the chicken was rubbery and the veggies were over cooked and tasted old! read more

Alright, here we go.... So I am new to Boone and was looking for a good japanese/thai place to eat. I have heard of Osaka as a chain in other places so decided to try it out. Worst mistake of my life.... I was looking for a meal that would fill me up but no, instead I am starving still. Why you might ask? Well take a look at the chicken to rice ratio in the Teriyaki Chicken w Veggies combo. And on a side note... there was no teriyaki sauce on my chicken. I had to pour the little amount of white sauce I was given for this meal to add some flavor. When I asked for more white sauce they wanted to charge me a dollar for taste testing size cup. I originally ordered a teriyaki entree but instead got a rice entree with a side of 8 chicken nuggets. Complete rip off, go to any other asian restaurant but here. If the owner wants to respond and give me my money back id be happy to take those hard earned dollars from ya. read more

My favorite place in boone for sushi! I absolutely love the people who are in there. They are always so welcoming and i love the service. It's a very quiet place and there's never a whole lot of people in there but it's always wonderful. Absolutely recommend! read more

Please don't waste your time here. Your food will be cold, spoiled, nasty, and/or expired. Their sanitation rating in the low 70s is enough to drive you away, but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt (big mistake). Best chinese food in Boone is either the buffet or the Asian bar at Harris Teeter (I know It's sad, but it is true). read more

Went last night and enjoyed it. Very nice surroundings, good food, and helpful attentive staff. I had the drunken noodle thai dish which was good, my son had lo mein which was very good! read more

Only ever ordered takeout. But I always have leftovers and it is always delicious and fresh.

Very mediocre. We went around 6 on a Saturday and it wasn't very busy. They had advertisements for specials on the windows and they seem to do a better lunch crowd. It's extremely cheap. I got like 24 pieces of sushi for around 12 bucks and it included soup or salad. They had a hibachi chicken deal for $5 with rice and an egg roll. Pretty solid deal, especially for dinner. Our group had a little bit of everything and it's an interesting concept to have Japanese and Chinese together. Everyone left satisfied I'd say and our waitress was good. I'd come back because of how cheap it was and still a good portion size for the price. Not a place that I'd be craving to go to though. read more

Osaka Boone - 2 spicy salmon rolls and a philly roll. - Chinese Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

Should've thought better considering there were only 3 tables on a Friday night. We asked for a few minutes to decide our order, but then our waitress spent 10-15 minutes sitting in a booth on her phone. When she finally got our order, only 2 people in my group got their food and by the time the 3rd person got their food, we were done eating. After we were done and waiting on our check, we noticed our waitress LAYING DOWN IN A BOOTH!! I'm not sure what was going on, but you sure can't do that at work. Overall my sushi was good but my other people did not really like their food. read more

Unfortunately I have to give this restaurant the lowest score. I am never one to leave bad reviews but I spent $25 for something that would have tasted better from the freezer aisle. I had ordered the steak hibachi only to receive 90% mushrooms. I am extremely disappointed to say the least, hopefully things will improve but I recommend looking elsewhere for Asian cuisine. read more

The food was really good and the workers there are super nice. I think one of them could be a kpop star

They got my order wrong. I had asked that two things be left out. I'm not allergic, but I don't like them. They were both on top of my meal. No biggie, mistakes happen. I notified the waiter, and he took it back to the kitchen. Well, they PICKED OUT THE MUSHROOMS AND BAMBOO AND SENT IT BACK. It wasn't remade... disgusting. How did I know? It was cold, and they missed some. I'll never go back. Was it worth it? Remake a meal, only a few dollars. (It was a $6.25 meal to begin with). Pick through my food and send it back, and my family will never come back. It's a shame. read more

Horrible. They need a new cook. Terrible tasting. Very little to no chicken in the chicken and cashew nuts and it wasn't white meat as explained. This is not Chinese food but more of an attempt to imitate such. read more

Painfully slow service, and very over priced for what you get. The food was piping hot, but it didn't really taste like hibachi fare. The salad was floating in a pool of salad dressing. The ambiance is really lacking, and the "open" sign buzzes constantly. As other reviewers have said, my stomach felt odd after I ate here. Boone has much better options for Japanese food. read more

I was eating my sad story of a meal.... and then a ROACH crawled onto the table. WTF?? Do not come here.

Not sure how someone can mess up pad Thai Except for the soup and chicken in garlic sauce being barely edible all dishes we ordered were terrible Maybe their Sushi is good. We ordered pad Thai , kung pao , Thai curry, chicken in garlic ( only dish kids ate ) and orange chicken read more

I ordered a to go order online and arrived 30 minutes later as requested to pick it up. Then I waited 45 minutes (not exaggerating) for the food to actually come out. With Taste Grill and Hokkaido so close, this food isn't worth waiting over an hour for. read more

The sanitation rating is very high and you can tell when you look around the restaurant. When we first entered we were greeted nicely by the waitress and she immediately began to answer questions we had. The lunch menu was very nice and not too expensive, which is great because we got hot tea and an appetizer and it was still very affordable. The food was amazing! From the presentation to the taste everything was great! The waitress continued to check in on us and fill any of our needs. She had great recommendations for what tasted good and she was absolutely right. I plan to come back again over the weekend to try the sushi. The hibachi is really great! read more

Re. my take out yesterday - terrible food and absolutely worthless in terms of value for money. Got some orange beef - basically got some fried stringy chewy stuff in a sickly sweet syrup. Never again read more

I have eaten here several times before and never had a complaint. Recently though I went here with a friend and left unsatisfied. Our food tasted as if it had been siting out for hours and our waitress had no knowledge of what she was serving us. She brought us a sushi platter saying it was crab rangoons and kept putting her headphones in while serving us. I would not recommend sitting in the front booths. There were insects crawling on the walls and in our plates. No worries though the manager assured us that there weren't any insects in the kitchen. Just in the front booth. read more

I've been here many times and the food is always good. Typical Chinese, but I prefer Osaka over the other marginal Chinese restaurants in Boone. read more

Great service and the food was good! Got a to go order and the sesame chicken and egg rolls were still crispy after 30 minutes of me running errands! Portion sizes were very generous! read more

We ate here after the restaurant we were suppose to go was packed! It was late and we were tired as we had a 2 1/2 hours drive ahead of us. The food is okay considering! The place was dirty. The floor was sticky and dirty, light fixtures had webs on them in addition to some not even working. The bathroom was dirty as it was never cleaned. I wish there was no stars to give!! read more

Not the most fresh tasting sushi. Sesame chicken tasted just like orange chicken with seeds sprinkled on it. Very average.

In town with my husband and 8 year old daughter for Christmas. After the movies my daughter wanted sushi , we arrived 9:40pm. The hostess who was sitting down when we arrived asked if we were dinning in or taking out, we stated we would like to eat in. After the hostess rolled her eyes she said " well we close at 10. You can sit anywhere." We were aware of the closing time. We sat down at a booth. She then comes up to us and asks us to move because they are about to mop around that table. My husband has a bad hip which the hostess saw him struggling to walk to the table. We moved to the other side of the restaurant. A few moments later she came back and said we can not be served and they can only choose take out. We walked out very upset. My husband is a combat veteran, I'm so sad that's how staff treats a man who fought for our freedom read more

Had a really bad case of food poisoning from this place. Service was lacking and I was sick for the next day and a half.

We ordered through Boone Deliveries, who was fantastic btw, and Osaka messed up our order. Deliveries tried to resolve the issue but the restaurant was skeptical, and sent the driver a box with an egg and cold crunchy rice. No point in name calling but we will never step foot in this restaurant again and we will be sure to tell our friends the same. It's understandable to save money from people that try to cheat the system, but when you put everyone in the same category you can end up losing more money. As someone that has worked with customers a long time and looking at the other reviews, you may be in a panic situation to capitalize on every customer that comes in. But as a word of advice don't forget that the customer writes the check with reoccurring business. Hopefully you are checking the review of all your customers and if not, if may help to improve your experience for customers and profit as well. read more

Wow. Absolutely great. Service was incredible and the food was super yum! Adorable kids running around too. read more

Best Chinese/ Japanese restaurant in high country. Remodeled when Hunan closed. Very nice now excellent service and food is wonderful. I asked about general tso chicken but less spicy came with just a hint of spice perfect. Wife had Yaki hibachi thin slices of beef also great. U won't be disappointed read more

I ate there over the summer and there was a roach on the table. I was seated far from the kitchen. The employees were polite, I felt bad for them because it was an awkward situation. I told the management, paid with a discount - because I had already began my meal, and left asap. They said they had just changed pest companies. Deal breaker for me. I haven't been back. read more

Had late lunch there on Saturday, 28th December. Place was kind of quiet and we seated ourselves. Service was very good. Hot and sour soup was tasty and hot enough to bring on a few sniffles. My companion and I shared sushi, which was very fresh. I had crab Rangoon appetizer, which consisted of 2 Rangoon with the absolute best duck sauce I have ever eaten. I couldn't tell if I was tasting 'peach' or 'plum' flavours. I asked chef, who confirmed they make their duck sauce fresh daily, but couldn't really understand the rest of my question. . The Thai spring roll was served hot but not greasy like some other places I've been. My 'General Tso's Chicken' was superb. My companion had Chicken and Cashews, and we each ate the entire meals rather than taking home any. The sweet iced tea was a bit too sweet for my palette, but it was decent. They do serve beer, but I'll try that on my next trip. I look forward to updating this when I return to try their Thai menu items. Seems likely I will be a loyal patron. read more

Ok. I know that there are not many places open on Christmas Day but I don't agree with price gouging . They had made a "special " menu for Christmas Day. One item went from $6.95 to $12.00. Another jumped from $9.95 to $18.00. Another from $ 9.45 to $12.00. Another from $9.25 to $12.00 and the last item from $3.95 to $6.00. We were told that the wait time would be 20 minutes but it was 40 minutes. The hibachi Yaki was the most over priced jumping from $9.94 to $18.00 and the meat was practically burnt. The whole experience was extremely disappointing!!! read more

We liked the egg rolls; thought they tasted fresh and homemade. Being in the mood for some veggies, I had a very good Moo goo gai pan. There was a nice selection of other Chinese lunch specials. Definitely very good food. read more
