Being 5000+ miles away, it's been comforting to know that my son was well fed while on a budget during his years at Clemson. He just graduated and took me to Osaka so he could enjoy one last meal and say goodbye to Ping. Ping is a gracious host and was so excited to finally meet me and my husband. Our meals were served quickly and the portions were huge. My tilapia was tasty and my son enjoyed their hibachi chicken and sushi. Thank you for taking good care of my son, Osaka! Mahalo nui loa and A hui ho! read more

Osaka Express - Teriyaki Steak and Chicken Combo - Japanese Near Me - Clemson, South Carolina

Not actual Japanese food. The food was horrible and sugary. They're appropriating Japanese food and it's not cool. read more

My favorite hibachi place in Clemson! Delicious food, big portions, and great prices! The service is always quick and straightforward, I love that when you dine-in you get a huge unlimited bottle of white sauce! I suggest getting any type of hibachi, and when you do you can substitute a type of vegetable for a different one - if you'd like. The vibe of this restaurant is relaxed and comfortable, give it a try! read more

Appetizers: Miso soup and crab ragoons were bland. The miso soup lacked enough miso to have flavor; it tasted like water. The crab filling in the ragoons was creamy and light but the shell was tasteless. We ordered the everything hibachi (chicken, beef, shrimp). The chicken was dry (overcooked) and the shrimp was rubbery. The flavor was good though my friend was very fond of the white sauce (rightly so). Lastly, we ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll. It was NOT canned tuna. One bite was a creamy delight. Well worth the price! read more

they messed up my order and then said I had to bring it back to change it out. I called and they were rude. Poor customer service

Found 2 gnats / fruit flies in my rice EXTREMELY limited menu for vegans - just about everything has meat, eggs, or butter Only gave 2 stars because the people tried - they were nice kids read more

This is my favorite hibachi restaurant in Clemson. The prices are good for the portions you get, and the staff has been friendly every time I have gone. This is not the place to go if you are looking for a luxurious experience, but it definitely is quick, easy, and delicious! I am glad they also offer Doordash. read more

Ping always greets my son, Garrett and I when we come in the door! She is the sweetest! Our food is always cooked to our satisfaction. We had no idea they offered sushi! Ping is very helpful helping us decide what we like! Love their sushi!!! read more

Osaka Express is the best college town hibachi place in Clemson. Get hibachi. Keyword is college.

The quality and portion sizes have definitely diminished since I started going here in 2019. The food does taste good, but the chicken is poor quality and they have raised their prices and made portions smaller so I prefer other hibachi places now. read more

Great food; great price! We enjoyed vegetable tempura, chicken tempura rolls- can't find these anywhere else, and steak and shrimp with rice. All of it was fabulous! read more

Convenient, quick and tasty. This place I hear is a Clemson stable, and it's easy to see the set up is great for the college area. You can either order a meal from take out, or if you have the time, can snag a booth or table in their dining area. It has a simple menu, with just the basics of a Japanese place. Main entrees is any Hibachi protein, with sweet carrots and friend rice. As a note- no sushi. I got the Shrimp hibachi for $9 and it was a solid meal for the place. I think the portions are a good size; if you're really hungry you can eat the whole thing, or if you're a slow diner like me, I have leftovers for a later dinner ready. read more

I have never written a poor review of a restaurant before. Today was my 2nd time at Osaka Express in Clemson, SC. Server is very nice and tryst hard as the only server. I ate about half my meal. It was ok, until I found hair in it! Called the server who took the plate to the kitchen. They offered to make another to go but I declined! Couldn't eat it now! I still was charged full price for food with hair. I won't be back! read more

I love this place! It is cheap and really good. For $9 you get a ton of food- hibachi chicken, mushrooms, carrots, rice, and white sauce. Their sweet carrots are amazing. I could eat here everyday. read more

Osaka Express - Hibachi Chicken - Japanese Near Me - Clemson, South Carolina

I ordered the steak and shrimp hibachi. The shrimp were the size of a penny each and it only included about 6 pieces of steak. My total was $18.99 with an extra sauce. Everything tasted great, I just think this meal was worth about $9.99 not what they are charging. read more

Osaka Express - Hibachi Steak & Shrimp Combination - Japanese Near Me - Clemson, South Carolina

No actual review because I didn't get food. FYI: they do not serve poke bowls here anymore. Disregard all poke reviews/pics. read more

I would first like to start off by saying that we ordered three meals, and all three had multiple hairs in them. The food overall was not good to begin with, which is saying something from three hungry college students who regularly eat dinning hall food. Even the yum yum sauce was subpar, and had a liquid consistency. The carrots tasted like baby food from a jar, and the rice was also mushy. The broccoli was ok. Overall would not eat again. read more

Soooo yummy, me and my gf love it here and eat it way too often very adorable and you get lots of food

Nasty. Hidden up charges left and right. They couldn't even ring me up correctly so I had to check out in two separate transactions. Food is bland. You could probably be better off buying a chicken breast at the Publix's and put it in a frying pan with salt and get better results. Seriously, save your coin and don't eat here. The only good thing is they give you a big portion of rice. read more

I won't ever go back, paid $10.95 for a small portion of food and .95¢ for 6 pieces of zucchini instead of mushrooms. With plate of hibatchi Chicken n shrimp add zucchini plus a drink my bill was $15.75 NOT WORTH THE PORTION RECEIVED!!! Believe me I counted them because once again portion was small, I even asked the waiter just to make sure. My friend paid a $1 more and a got a bowl of zucchini. I Only received like 8 pieces of chicken and 8 shrimp. Just because it was 2pm during the day doesn't mean i wanted a small helping. Have gotten bigger portions from other hibatchi restaurants. Food tasted good but service was mediocre and I was over charged at check out. Won't be back. These reviews on here about "portion" was a joke!! read more

This is a wonderful place for good and cheap hibachi-style food. There is not much variety in options of what you can get here, but as long as you like hibachi food, you will be satisfied. I always get the steak and scallops. Highly recommend! read more

This is some of the best asian food in the area!! It's always hot and fresh and they really give you a bang for your buck! I love Osaka!

This is the best Sam's Club ready-made Chinese rice I know of. I think the food was a little overpriced, and seemed more like, well, Sam's Club Chinese (not Japanese) food. But since this is an "express" restaurant, what can you expect? But the restaurant is clean, and the food passable enough that I wouldn't mind going with friends, though I wouldn't seek this restaurant out myself. read more

Food is okay, but the service is terrible. Definitely not worth it. An older women checked me out and barely addressed me then when I asked for a menu rolled her eyes. As a new customer I won't be coming again. read more

My husband and I ordered hibachi combo from here and found a hair in my food. I'm disgusted. Then the manager stated they would give me my money back if I brought back the food. you can definitely keep it. read more

I eat here weekly and highly recommend it. The portions are great and food is tasty. They are not conservative when it comes to their white sauce as they leave a bottle on the table for you. The workers are genuine and quick. read more

Considering this is a Japanese express restaurant I am surprised anyone would review this place and complain that the food was "nothing but Japanese". I can't say the service is amazing but I usually get take-out here anyways. The food is GREAT however and when I lived in Clemson I ate there once or twice a week. If you want sushi......this is not the place. If you want egg rolls and General Tso's Chicken....this is not the place. BUT if you want Hibachi....THIS IS THE PLACE! First you need to know that Hibachi is sauteed meat, (Chicken, Steak, Shrimp) vegetables, (mushrooms or broccoli, and glazed carrots) and fried or steamed rice. There are two versions of each dish: Hibachi and Teriyaki. It is a very simple menu and the food is prepared VERY quickly (about 5 minutes) but it is incredible. All this is served with a side of shrimp sauce (does not have shrimp in it...it's just the name) which is great for pouring over your rice. It's actually much healthier than most of the food you would get at a Chinese restaurant because it's not deep fried or slathered with sugary sauces. Osaka Express does a great job for what it is. The food is the take-out version of what you get at a Japanese steakhouse where they cook it in front of you for 3 times the price. Needless to say, I go there 2 to 3 times a week and the food has always been fantastic. If you want sushi and egg rolls...go somewhere else. If you want GREAT inexpensive hibachi you will be thrilled. read more

Just discovered this place today. Fantastic spin in sushi and Japanese cuisine. The sushi burritos are big, busting with flavors and well priced. The poke bowls are wonderful, mixed with salads, rice and a more than genorouse portion of protein. I also recommend the pop rock shrimp as an appetizer. I will be back. read more

Food is nothing but japanese ! Service was horrible...the waiter and waitress sat on the bar besides us and ate sonic burgers!!! The place smells bad too (or it was the sonic burger - not sure). Would not recommend...and dont think i ll ever go there again... read more

Generous portions, great flavor, service was great (but we also went on a Monday for lunch when there was only one other table in the whole restaurant). Not really a fan of the sweet carrots so I got mushrooms instead. read more

The food is awesome and plentiful. I eat takeout here about once a month. It's the only restaurant I keep in my phone.

If you're looking for delicious, quick hibachi food, this is your place! Everything is good here and the sauce makes it even better!

Service is always really fast. Meals are inexpensive but very good. Chicken and steak are of good quality. Portions are large. Restaurant ambiance isn't the best. Nothing to ever complain about. read more

My go to hibachi! So good and reasonably priced. Excellent service and food quality. If you're looking for an inexpensive but delicious hibachi this is your place. read more

Fast service. Really a great spot to grab a quick, fulfilling bite to eat. Sad that they took out the sushi, but I still always come to get teriyaki chicken and sweet carrots! This is the place I go whenever I'm in town for fast food Japanese cuisine. read more

Foods good, but the portion for dinner was a joke. I'll probably go back in like 2-3 months when I'm really craving hibachi, unless I find somewhere else with a competitive price. read more

Bland and boring... There's better spots for hibachi food than Osaka Express. I had hibachi shrimp and got maybe half a dozen shrimp total. Quite a disappointment and I don't plan on going back any time soon unless they do something to overhaul the menu items in some way. That being said, if you do give it a shot lots of soy sauce and shrimp sauce (which sat out at the tables, causing a bit of concern about its need for refrigeration) can drown out the sorrows of what will undoubtedly be an underwhelming plate of food. read more
