I forgot to take pictures and by the time I knew it, all the food was gone. I will definitely be coming back here when I pass by the area again! I recently had the opportunity of dining at Osaka Japanese Restaurant, and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. This establishment exceeded my expectations in every aspect, earning a well-deserved five-star rating. First and foremost, the food at Osaka is exceptional. Both the hibachi and sushi offerings left me delighted and satisfied. The hibachi dishes, in particular, were a standout. I ordered the steak and scallop hibachi, and it was cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich, and the ingredients were fresh. The talented chefs showcased their culinary skills with entertaining hibachi performances that added an extra layer of excitement to the dining experience. The staff at Osaka deserves high praise for their hard work and friendly demeanor. From the moment I stepped foot in the restaurant, I was greeted with warm smiles and attentive service. The servers were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. Their dedication to ensuring a memorable dining experience was evident throughout my visit. The interior of Osaka Japanese Restaurant was clean and well-maintained. The ambiance was inviting, with a modern yet comfortable setting. The attention to cleanliness further enhanced the dining experience and contributed to an overall pleasant atmosphere. One aspect that impressed me was the fair pricing and generous portion sizes. Osaka offers great value for the quality and quantity of food they provide. I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and impressed by the portion sizes, which left me with plenty to take home for later enjoyment. In summary, Osaka Japanese Restaurant is an absolute gem. The combination of great hibachi and sushi, along with the hardworking and friendly staff, creates an exceptional dining experience. The clean interior, fair prices, and generous portions further solidify Osaka as a top-tier restaurant. Whether you're a fan of hibachi, sushi, or both, Osaka is a must-visit destination if you are in the area or passing by! read more

I have ordered shrimp fried rice on many occasions and this was not a five star in my opinion. It lacked more flavor. When I eat a great tasting platter I typically skip them yum yum sauce and enjoy the way it was meant to be. This meal led me to ask if it was available, which is not. I then made an attempt to put soy sauce in it which I caused my own disaster for my remainder of the meal. Which was fine because I am trying to cut back and my wife enjoyed it later in the night as a leftover. My wife ordered a dish which was not cooked right (don't remember but doesn't matter) because the manager quickly agreed and recognized the issue and replaced the meal then comped the new meal also. Awesome service. The meal had something to do with the meat being sliced too thick, which caused over cooking, then ended in being dried out and tough. They are fixing this issue. The plate only had one large shrimp and a few small shrimps (like from the cup of ramen type). I felt it needed more shrimp. My wife's meal had a lot of large shrimps. Just couldn't give five stars even though they tried way above and beyond just due to my liking of my meal. Thank you again to management.
