    We went for lunch and didn't realize that you don't get the teppanyaki experience for lunch. I still ordered chicken and shrimp and I was super disappointed. The chicken was tasteless and had the texture of boiled chicken. The shrimp was okay but not much seasoning. None of the food had any char on it. My husband ordered sushi and the rolls were huge.

    We came here for my mother in law's birthday. With reservations, we still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated so it did take awhile. However, our server was attentive and provided great service. I got the sashimi plate and it was fresh and tasty. The rest of the table got the teppanyaki and everyone enjoyed their food. My kids loved their lemonade "shot" from the chef. It's a fun ambiance and everyone seemed to be celebrating their birthday's!

    This is the newer Osaka location. It has a smaller dining area side for the sushi part of the restaurant compared to the Teppanyaki grill. This is a smaller location than the original location out in Mesa. They do have great deals on sushi and happy hour and it is one of my favorites in town For a Sunday Happy hour sushi spot. I love their crunchy sweet potato roll as well as the rock shrimp and the crazy world that you can get unhappy hour. Great deals on drinks and sushi always love coming here for a quick treat. This is a frequent spot for birthday celebrations and you can often hear them singing their classic birthday song on the Teppanyaki girls side. People always appear to be having so much fun and it really brings the family vibe and energy to life.

    We used to love coming here since it opened. Not sure what happened. The last time we were here was in July of 2025, the selections plentiful. Tonight might be the last time we dine here. Food is just not the same. Service was ok, the girl at the front was on the phone when we arrived and she was not too pleasant. Understandably fine as she was on the phone. We were seated immediately and service was ok. Nothing about our experience and food was notable.

    Not a bad place to go. It was a date night without the wife. I thought it was funny when the server couldn't get the plates right as who got what appetizers when they came out. Just a small training issue. Don't get me wrong the servers were great. The one thing I didn't like is when the cooking was done the servers appeared to be rushing us out of there to turn the table. The food just was ok, nothing stood out then any other hibachi.

    It was a fun experience. The chef was funny and the server was friendly and professional. The steak, chicken and shrimp and sushi were very good. It was my friend's birthday and they gave her a Tiramisu cake with a sparkler. They also banged the drum and everybody in the restaurant sang "Happy Birthday"! Also, children under 55" are eligible for child prices.

    Always a fun dinner experience and love that they send me a birthday dinner certificate to use during my birthday month. Took friends their to celebrate my birthday and had a great time. Food was delicious as always and so was the entertainment provided by our chef! Thank you and see you again next year, if not before!

    Is there booth seating?

    Yes

    Are you able to bring your own cake?

    Ryu Sushi is a little unsuspecting; the location is kind of weird in the sense that the parking lot…read moreof small. We went here for a friend's birthday, and was it definitely a fun night! The restaurant is fairly large, and seems like a lot of people like coming here for family/friend dinners. Like the name insists, the teppanyaki is the way to go. Their menu isn't that large, so it was pretty easy to make a decision. I opted for the filet mignon (rare) along with shrimp. Teppanyaki is really more of a show/experience, so the food comes out to you in sections (versus all at once like at a traditional restaurant). The filet was so soft, and was perfectly rare, and the shrimp was so good. I think in the future I'd eat a whole plate of shrimp. I also got to try the yakiniku, and that was also pretty good but very sweet. Their Boo Yah Ka roll was also pretty yummy. It's essentially a spring roll, but with some spice and citrus to it. I felt that the portion was good for a large meal, but my friend who got the chef's combo definitely had enough for leftovers.

    Hubby & I had dinner here last Friday night. We made a reservation. The earliest you can make it…read morefor is 5:00. We arrived a little early, so they told us we could sit at the bar & have a drink. We sat there for 15+ minutes & the girl getting things ready for the bar totally ignored us. Right before we were seated someone else took our drink order & said she'd bring them to the table. Hubby got a beer & I got a Tito's & cranberry juice. We ordered an appetizer. While we were waiting they sat another 4 with us. We all expected dinner & a "show", but none of us expected the show we got. One of the staff started screaming at another staff member. We had no idea what the female staff member was saying since her words were not in English. She was so loud & screaming in the bar area so the entire restaurant could hear her. A couple of staff members tried to claim her dow. This went on for several minutes. It was crazy. All us customers were silent & just looking at the girl screaming & yelling. The next thing we know, round two. It was unbelievable. What was even crazier was they didn't send the staff member home! No one came over & said a word. No one apologized or said anything. After all of this, they sat couple with us. Finally the chef came to the table. By this time it was 20 til 6:00. Hubby got the filet with fried rice. I got the shrimp with fried rice. The food was good. However, hubby's steak was over cooked. Thankfully, hubby told the chef he wanted to change the steak from medium to medium rare, or it would have been even more over cooked. I also watch all of the employees but one prepping the food without gloves. This used to be our go to place for, but now with all this issues this time, we will probably have to find a new place.

The atmosphere is welcoming for both regular guests and those celebrating special occasions, and it really stands out as a place where dinner turns into an event. What makes it especially enjoyable is how interactive and festive everything feels. Celebrations--especially birthdays--are taken to another level with music, singing, and even traditional Japanese masks, creating a lively and entertaining environment that everyone gets to be part of. On top of the experience, the food is consistently excellent. Everything is cooked fresh right in front of you, with great flavor and quality across the board. If you're looking for a place that combines great teppanyaki-style dining with a fun, high-energy atmosphere, Osaka Japanese Steakhouse is a top-tier choice.

There must have been several birthdays being celebrated that night because we heard the birthday song quite a few times . I think my brother really enjoyed himself too, which made the night even better. Just a heads up -- it's definitely a lively, noisy place, so probably not the best choice if you're looking for a quiet dinner. But if you want good food and a fun, energetic atmosphere, this is a great spot.

I suggest going somewhere else that is actually worth the time and money. We arrived there on time but they weren't ready for us yet. It took over 30 minutes for us to get a chef to our table and cook. We sat at the table hungry. The quality of food was not worth the prices. We ordered the steak ($50, definitely not worth it) and they did not cook it right. It was overdone. We also ordered salmon. I couldn't believe my eyes... the salmon ($38, not worth it) they had brought to our table was still half frozen! I had mentioned this at the table. I was ignored. I had to ask many times for different things from the chef due to the food not being good. I should have not ate it and just said something at the time but the waiter was in a bad mood and the chef wasn't the friendliest. The workers seemed tired and wanting to be there to do the job. I'd rather stay silent because I know how it can be working at a restaurant that has been busy. Our service... the waiter wasn't patient and had an attitude from the very beginning. I looked over at my friends and we kind of went silent. The performance at the hibachi lacked. I know the chef was probably worn out but our reservation was at 5 pm. Not late at all. We were super let down because the restaurant itself was beautiful but so many bad things happened. The only thing I liked from the restaurant was the happy hour they had a few nice drinks. That's it. The place is not accessible. there are places you have to step up, watch wear you step, it has a lot of declines and inclines. Not a lot of accessible parking. The entrance is so far away from most of the parking. Not enough room at tables for wheelchairs or scooters. It was super loud, very smoky and irritated not only my eyes my almost everyone at our table and other tables.

He goes by Shrimp Shady :) The main reason for the 1 star review is everything else from our meal on Father's Day. First off, the lady who was taking our order was just flat out rude. We have dietary restrictions and it was like we were making her job extra hard. My wife is vegetarian and my daughter eats seafood and I eat white meat and seafood. She brought out the mushroom soup that comes with the meal and I overheard it comes with beef broth, so I told her I can't have that and I don't need the miso. She rolled her eyes and did a huff/groan sound. Menu doesn't state it's a beef soup so I didn't ask. My wife double checked her stuff was vegetarian and she was acting like asking her the question was a big ask. We were given a lunch menu with the other 6 pieces of menus. I told her I want this item and she looks at me and says uh that's only for weekdays. Then why am I given this menu when it doesn't even say on it that' it's for weekdays only? So then I had to rush to order bc she was impatient. Prices have gone up everywhere but I've never seen 200% increase like this place has since the last time I went several years ago. Definitely the last time I go to Benihana.
