Good place to come and eat i really recommend food and service is DELICIOUS AND FRIENDLY LOVED IT!!!

Checked out Osaka for a casual sushi night. No wait and premiere parking around 5:30pm in the connected lot. Friendly and attentive service all around. We received multiple complimentary items such as the shrimp and seaweed tempura appetizer, dessert mango ice cream, and cold sake. Onion soup- bigger than I was expecting. Had a little sour flavor that was different but liked. Lots of mushrooms in there too. Spicy garlic edamame was mild so easy to eat without burning your mouth but still had good flavor. Tuna, yellowtail, salmon masago roll- simple and clean Tokyo roll- classic shrimp tempura topped with spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy salmon, and sweet soy Red moon roll- pepper tuna and avocado topped with spicy salmon (my friend ordered but too full to try- seemed to enjoy it) Overall good value, good food, family owned, and a casual atmosphere. Would definitely be back. read more

4.3 stars! Private parking lot and space is decorated nicely and obviously very clean. Service was friendly and they give you a complimentary dynamite roll and free ice cream. Lunch specials are at a great price (note for the bento box, they don't give rice with it). read more

Food was great and the service was amazing! Would definitely go back. Owner was very gracious and made you feel at home.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Osaka on a Saturday afternoon. Don't let the outside appearance fool you. We were sat immediately and attended to promptly. We ordered the Eel Roll, The Dragon Roll, Houston Roll and the spicy tuna roll. As we waited for our order imagine our surprise when we received a complimentary appetizer. It was jumbo shrimp on top of a crispy wonton. It was wonderful and very satisfying. When the rolls arrived they did not disappoint. they we bigger than your average rolls. I get why this place have there regular customers. But wait there was a complimentary dessert also (Green Tea Ice cream. I will definitely be back. Service was very attentive and friendly. The place was clean and they have me as one of their frequent patrons. read more

I went here for a lunch meeting yesterday, and we ordered a couple rolls and sashimi. Love how they give you complimentary shrimp tempura to start the meal, tasty! Our server was very attentive, and the food came out fast. I was shocked by how thick the cuts of sashimi were. I also liked the quality of fish as well. The rolls were all good. They also offer complimentary ice cream at the end of your meal :) If you're in midtown and craving sushi, this place got you with decent prices! read more

Free appetizer and ice cream... what more could a girl ask for? They also box your food for you. Very nice. Didn't have any sashimi or nigiri so I can't speak on that but the rolls and calamari were good. read more

My boyfriend and I love Osaka for a casual but reliable sushi spot. There is no need to dress up too much, but the sushi and food are great. The calamari is okay, but the sushi is always solid. Whenever we are there, we always seem to get some sort of creative and delicious mini app to start our meal as well! Recently, we got the ocean roll which was delicious, tempura shrimp (amazing), and spicy edamame which was very good as well. Service is always attentive. The drinks are fun as well and always have cute garnishes! read more

I have always loved this place. I've been coming for years, since about 2002. I always enjoyed the food here, service is prompt, courteous, and my orders are always correct. The folks are friendly and always greet you when you walk in. They always give you a small appetizer and at the end of the meal they bring you a small dessert. I would give this place a million stars if I could. I was surprised by how empty it is, but that just means the new location through off people so its like a secret. It's has a nice quiet, intimate feel to it. All for less than $40. Some of y'all are missing out. read more

Went here today to eat sushi, but when I saw they offered dim sum, everything changed. I had the fried shrimp dumplings, har gow, and long bao. All three were fresh, hot and tasted great. Service was attentive and friendly. Definitely glad I gave it a try! read more

Really like this restaurant. Food is really good and fresh. service is always great! I love the cozy atmosphere and that it's never super busy. Not sure why it says reservations only, I've been twice and reservations were not needed. They actually have private parking, which is also a plus for the area. Definitely recommend, this is currently my go to sushi spot. read more

the ambiance is great. i sat inside but the outdoors decor really is a sight to see. the service was great, they even gave me dessert and an extra roll for free. the food was good. it tasted like average japanese food to me. this would be a nice place to check out if you are looking for something casual to go to. read more

I would say this place was decent. I really wasn't overly impressed with anything that I got or the two people that with me ate. One has steamed rice like a shaggy roll. I had the fried rice and like a Nigiri sampler and then the other guest had. I can't remember another set of sushi rolls. Nothing really stood out. The Nigiri to me was a little too large, I kind of like to be able to just place the whole piece in my mouth and there's kinda large just like two bites and no kind of falls apart. Fried rice was OK. The shrimp didn't seem too fresh. It wasn't deveined either which I really like but the service was amazing Front Desk the waiter excellent guys perfect service. read more

Tried going to another restaurant nearby but they had an hour wait. Walked across the street and found this awesome place. We ended up with the most friendly, personable, and knowledgeable server Crystal. Food was awesome and fresh. Pricing was really great too. We got a complimentary appetizer which was a nice surprise. Lychee martini delicious! Vibe was laid back. And the food came out quickly. Can't wait to come back!! read more

I ordered the Houston Restaurant Week lunch special to go and picked it up in store this weekend. I quickly realized HRW is basically their lunch special all year long. You get a free appetizer & a scoop of ice cream with your entree when you dine in (I'm not sure if this applies to-go) It's great that they have their own parking lot and the restaurant inside is casual and peaceful. The staff was very nice and boxed everything up well. We really enjoyed how high quality the sashimi was, particularly the salmon. I would definitely come back. Especially to try the Matcha IPA they have on the menu. read more

Could not have been more impressed with Osaka. The service was incredibly attentive and the food was delicious. My girlfriend and I have been looking for a sushi restaurant that is reasonably priced and very tasty in the greater Montrose area and Osaka filled this need perfectly. We ordered the cheese puff (crab rangoons) LA Roll, Rock and Roll, and Caterpillar Roll all of which were excellent. The cheese puff was the best Rangoon I have ever had. They also brought us a complimentary order of the Rabata Shrimp which I would love to try again. It was a piece of tempura fried seaweed topped with chopped veggies and a fried gulf shrimp. It was wonderful and tasted what I imagine fried ceviche would be like, if that is a thing, but regardless was very tasty. We could not have been more pleased with our visit and will definitely be back! Also side note: if you're looking for a fun date idea, there is a jazz club about a half mile away from Osaka called Doc's. Doc's serves food, but we preferred to get some sushi instead so we ate at Osaka and walked to Doc's after dinner for the show. Doc's does require that you book a table for the show, but at least as of the time I am writing this review, there is no requirement to order food with your table booking (most of their entree options were $26-40 with apps around $15-20). Osaka is within walking distance and a great place to eat then head over to a show if you're looking for a fun date idea and would prefer to eat somewhere else before hand but still catch the show. We'll be back to Osaka regardless, but if we go to Doc's again, this is what we'll do. read more

We went for a little Bday celebration. A lot do food was ordered! We went 5:30 on Friday to avoid the crowd with since we had a larger group. Our table was ready and set up nicely. Our device who liked the manager did get every part of my friends order wrong sadly. He did fix everything though! The sushi was decent. I'm from Baltimore so it seems on par with Houston. Honestly the onion soup was my favorite part of the entire meal! It was like an Asian French onion so amazing (obviously no cheese)! read more

We used to go to Osaka frequently and gave it one last attempt. We ordered to go and ordered extra wasabi because last time it was missing. This time, no wasabi, no ginger and no extra rice which we had paid for. I doubt we will go back. read more

First time here was nice, the service was great and the food was good. We got complimentary shrimp toast and ice cream at the end

Amazing host as well as amazing food that taste fresh and flavorful! Recommend 100 percent

Good sushi at a decent price. The servers were friendly and we had a couple of free surprises delivered to our table! We arrived on a Friday at about 630PM and there was plenty of parking in their private lot. We tried salmon, fatty tuna, sea bass, and yellowtail pieces (thick cuts, pretty good), a salmon skin roll (loved it), the nabeyaki udon (tasted like a box of beef/mushroom broth and wouldn't order again, tempura (delicious), takoyaki (interesting, didn't taste or look very traditional), and green tea ice cream (so good!). If we're looking for cheaper sushi, we'd visit again but only for the tempura and sushi. read more

I got the 911 Roll and it was amazing! If you like crunch on your sushi this would be your go to sushi roll. The service here was amazing. The staff here have a lot of hospitality and warmth.

Do not eat here!!! I immediately got food poisoning from their fish. Spent over $100 for DoorDash just for the sushi to look like it was all sitting in grease??? Literally so nasty and $100 down the drain. read more

Not sure what changed but they seemed much better when they were at their old location (where the new BB's is at now). The last few times we ate here, the fish just didn't seem as fresh. It was across the board from the sake, akami, hamachi (both regular and belly), and other fish. So it wasn't like a bad batch of just one species. I enjoyed them before enough that I'll give them another shot. Will update the review if anything changes. read more

First time here and I loved it! The food was delicious and the portions were pretty big. We got the 911 roll, the summer roll, and the caterpillar roll. All prepared beautifully. All of it came out like less than 10 minutes after we ordered. The staff was friendly and asked to refill our drinks several times. One of the owners or maybe a manager made us feel very welcome and thanked us for choosing them. I HIGHLY recommend trying them out! read more

excellent service, amazing foods, 100% recommended! the service es excellent super friendly!

Must mention this restaurant is no longer AYCE, they state they have not offered that in over a year. That being said it is Very good service, great food, fresh sushi. Small plates were brought out free of charge. We enjoyed our dinner and will go back. read more

Wow. Delicious and possibly the best customer service there is... every person who walks in that door is family and welcome. I felt like I was at my favorite aunts house I came for the second time for restaurant weeks and they really outdid themselves once again. 10/10. read more

Came with a group of 9 and were treated like special guests by the staff. We ordered spicy edamame which was average. The sashimi was my favorite part of them meal. It was fresh and tasted exactly how it should taste. The fatty tuna was the highlight of the evening and the portions made it worth the price. A few times during our meal, we were brought things to try and told it was "on the house". Every bite we had (after the edamame) was really good! read more

Service was particularly outstanding. Sweet people serving up delicious food. Highly recommend.

AYCE sushi! And it was really good quality sushi! Can't wait to go back again-def my new favorite spot! The rolls are big-definitely recommend. Just be aware that you get charged for any food that you don't eat. But a great price for the amount of food and the quality, AND they have a nice little patio area too. read more

Great customer service and food. One of my favorite sushi spots in Houston. I will return.
