I love hibachi and have grown up going to this Osaka location. Recently, my girlfriends and I went back and had a fabulous experience. Food and Drink - alcohol was sooo surprisingly cheap here, we were able to get bottles of wine at a lower price than like any other restaurant I have been to. Obviously, the food was delicious, you cannot go wrong with Hibachi. I got fried rice and chicken dunked in the yum yum sauce and left so satisfied. We also had so much sake from the chef, which is so fun seeing how long you can go and the whole restaurant cheering. Service - they are attentive and made sure our waters and wine glasses stayed full. The food service is right in front of you so obviously that is good. Ambience - It is a party, I feel like you go to hibachi to celebrate and have fun and you are able to do just that. Whether it is cheering on the chef, pounding sake or singing Happy Birthday you are guaranteed to have fun. read more

Osaka Seafood Steakhouse - Love! - Japanese Near Me - Apple Valley, Minnesota

A good sushi spot for the area The hibachi is fun and one of the more wild ones I have been to. The drench you in sake or lemonade. The staff is always filling up your drinks too. The food is just as expected, flavorful and buttery It was a little toasty in the hibachi space, wish they had a window or more air flow. read more

My type of environment with the low lighting, but not so much you need a flashlight for the menu. It was clear they had experience handling group sizes of all types and they were not shy on the saké. Plenty of parking and I was content with the cook on both the rice and the meat. The hibachi was entertaining and even if you are there for an event like a birthday or not, you will still enjoy your time. It is clear this place is managed differently, for the better, than other Osaka locations. Would recommend. read more

Osaka has the best hibachi! They were able to accomodate my group of 18 people with a reservation and service was so friendly. The food is fresh and flavorful, and the hibachi chefs are so fun and enthusiastic. Our drinks never were empty and the chefs did a great job serving the whole group around the same time. The hibachi tables are in sets of 2 grills, with one chef for each side of the table. Each side of the table can comfortably seat around 10 adults. The fried rice was so smoky and delicious, and the steak was juicy! This is a great place to celebrate special occasions with a group. read more

Had takeout from Osaka and it hit the spot! Their California roll was very basic but they give you large pieces. The hibachi dinner is always good. Adequately sauced and large enough to share. The chicken and steak were juicy and tender. The yum yum sauce provided also gives an added sweet tangy flavor that is sure to be a crowd favorite. Their fried rice is also a must try and is perfect leftover the next day. If you are looking for an exciting dining experience you can check out their hibachi table. The chefs are friendly and entertaining! read more

The food was fantastic - great hibachi - but we won't return. It was so loud we couldn't converse. They need dividers to absorb sound at least along the main hall dividing the two dining areas. They banged the drum and sang happy birthday 9 times during our meal. Too much. read more

The food was good, but the service lacked. Asked for white rice on a dinner combo, server brought me fried rice then told me he would get me the white rice never came back, only came around the table once asking for drinks, and he disappeared. And they still had the audacity to run out the door as we leave to leave a tip for the server. What type of business does this shit. Never coming back.! read more

Had dinner at the hibachi last night Thursday March 6, 2025. Very disappointed. I had the fillet mignon and scallops. Portions are much smaller then in prior visits AND was not fillet mignon. It was over cooked and NOT tender. On top of that the prices have increased. This use to be a family tradition to go and celebrate birthdays but not any more after last nights disappointing dinner. read more

Who doesn't love Osaka! The hibachi grill is awesome as well as the sushi, but I love the show and the nummy smells as they cook their hibachi. Get this my 4 year old granddaughter is the one that requested to eat here, she said Grandma can we go to the place with the clear soup with mushrooms and their shrimp and noodles. Then said I can tell you how to get there and she did. 4 Years old! I had a drink of their specialty board called the sparky pony that was super light and crisp too. There soup is so flavorful along with their great soy/ginger dressing on the salad and anything on the flat griddle is wonderful with their regular white rice or fried rice then their "NUMMY" sauce is so good drizzled ov er everything. This place is 5 star and a fun place to go with a group or birthday celebration. read more

My wife and I went for lunch and this place is clearly focused on dinner. The food was good enough that we may go back for a date night but the service and atmosphere was lacking. This is a longstanding restaurant in Apple Valley with a solid reputation so it may have just been that particular day. read more

I love that we have a good sushi & hibachi spot here in the suburbs. It's big, spacious, clean & nicely decorated. Brought my parents here for dinner & they loved it & they are picky people I must say. The server we had was so kind as well & I loved that she had a great sense of humor to reciprocate because my dad loves to kid around with people from time to time lol. Pictured: 007 roll & Lisa Lisa crunch roll - 5 stars. We also ordered hamachi Kama & the tofu w a side of eel sauce. Which were light choices & yummy. read more

The food was okay, we made a reservation for 7pm and we got there on time to be told we had to wait another hour or so. We didn't get sat until after 8pm. What's the point of reservations if you can't honor them? read more

We've been going to Osaka when we are nearby for years now and the food and service are always consistent. The hibachi in back is certainly lively and entertaining, but we primarily go for the rolls and it is fun to sit in the front dining area and watch them being made. Our absolute favorites are the Mango Hawaii Roll, Buddha Roll and the Oshinko Roll. We also enjoy the California Roll and the Royal Pink Roll. It's a clean, comfortable restaurant and the food is always delicious. read more

This place was so fun!!! Loud but fun! Made for a wonderful anniversary dinner. The food was delish. All around great experience. Highly recommend read more

First time visiting Osaka seafood Steakhouse and we really enjoyed our experience. We made reservations ahead of time and were seated immediately. There was one other family at our hibachi table. Our chef was talented, entertaining and fun. We started with fried rice. I chose shrimp, my fav, but rest of family had combos of chicken and steak. We already had so much food and then the chef started cooking noodles. It was a ton to eat but the leftovers were boxed for future meals. The food was great and experience fun. Service was good. We will be back. read more

Pretty upset with this experience first time having hibachi in Minnesota just moved out here. My husband has liver failure was not told that he was having alcohol sprayed in his mouth until he realized and spit it out when I asked the manager why they didn't let us know that ahead of time she pretty much told me she didn't care and it wasn't her problem and hung up on me. I've never had anything so unprofessional happened before in my life. My husband did not think anything of it being alcohol because my 11 year-old daughter they did it to her first assuming it was water but I guess he switched the bottles so for never being there before and this being the first experience I am just floored with the way that the manager handled the situation. read more

My eight-year-old asked if we could have hibachi for his birthday. A friend recommended Osaka so we decided to check it out. When we pulled into the parking lot, We were a little concerned. It's in a strip mall that's super dated and dirty. We made it inside and it was much larger on the inside and fairly nice. We had a reservation and they took us to our hibachi table. Kids meals cost about $11 and if you're older than 10, you have to pay for the adult meal that's triple the price. Two things to note: 1- Fried rice is five dollars extra. It was delicious, but I didn't know it was so much extra, on top of the already steep price. 2 - I asked if drinks were included in the kids meal and was told yes. When we got the bill, I was charged three dollars for each of their lemonades. Overall, the food was good and the service was awesome!! It was so entertaining. My boys loved it, as you will see in this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/1fPWHtUFpHg?feature=share This is a really fun place to celebrate a birthday! If you want a lower priced option, I'd go on a weekday at lunchtime. read more

Service sucks even with a reservation it takes them forever to seat you. Very slow service

Perhaps I should have known this, but the perpetual and loud "happy birthday" celebrations were obnoxious. Even when they weren't celebrating a birthday, it was very loud. I couldn't hear the waitress or the chef so I just nodded my head when they spoke to me. I gave the food a "4" because my husband's sushi was excellent! I got the vegetable hibachi and it was bland and unremarkable. Maybe the noise level appeals to some people, but it ruined the whole experience for me. I'll never go back. read more

My local sushi go-to. The food is always good bang-for-the-buck and the staff is truly wonderful. I go here for me-time as often as I take the whole family, and the servers remember my kids and make them feel so special. They sometimes even make balloon animals for the kids! Very cute. The atmosphere is higher end and translates well to both calm, intimate evenings and fun, upbeat get-togethers equally. The yellowtail here is particularly high quality, especially when compared to competitors in the region. If you haven't tried THIS Osaka location, I highly recommend you give it a try. read more

my food tasted like i was chewing a wooden chair. i was given six tiny molecules of spicy mayo when i asked for it to be added to my California roll. the service was good, i suppose. the ambiance was alright. i was pretty entertained by the crime show they had playing on the tv. there was only one tv though and i had to crank my neck backwards to see it. overall i am NOT satisfied with this experience. read more

A laughable excuse for a 6 piece Osaka tool mainly cucumber, fake crab and the tuna the size of a dime.. I've had much better for $6.00 at a Convenience store, made and shipped to location!! A total embarrassment for masquerading as a Resturant, if you can't get this right !!! Really..$16.02 for 6 Pathetic Rolls.. read more

Food was absolutely amazing! We got two sushi rolls and two hibachi dinners (one chicken, one shrimp). Highly recommend this place for the food. Now the service was fantastic! By far best service I've had in a long time. Everyone worked as a team, everything was quick, and everyone was extremely friendly. The only reason I could not give the fifth star was due to the noise level. The hibachi area is extremely loud, you can hardly hear the person next to you and I honestly had a pretty big headache after five minutes sitting there. We ended up moving to dining area where you could still hear the echos of the hibachi area but much more manageable. We will likely return, take out will likely be our route but we would visit again in the dining area. read more

I was there celebrating my birthday with friends. At the end of the meal, without even asking they bring out this not so great fried banana and giant pink head. They expect you to put this giant head on, who knows what kind of germs are festering in it. At this point I said I didn't want it but the waiter proceeded to sing the birthday song. I was so disappointed in them. They won't even listen to there customer. NEVER GOING BACK! read more

This was awful. My husband and I frequent Osaka for their quality and service. I received the chicken teriyaki for my to go order and there was no description about it being on a bed of vegetables, it contained asparagus which I'm allergic to. I tried a piece of the chicken that didn't have veggies under it and it was sawdust. The tempura was soggy & greasy. The roll had avocado that had blackened at the end of it, there's no way you would serve that in the restaurant. Poor choices. The only thing edible in my order was the salad and miso soup. The order number was 17091 on 8/19. So very dissapointed. read more

I'm torn... I took my daughter here today for lunch and got two salmon teriyaki bento boxes, one with water and the other with a Pepsi. Food was great as usual and it appears to be like any of my other visits over the years. However, there was a surprise in stored today... I boxed up my daughters leftovers and paid the bill. As I passed the hostess desk and almost reached the door, I heard someone call out "sir, excuse me sir." But I figured it couldn't been anyone calling for me as there should be no reason. But yes, it appears she was trying to get my attention. Our waiter apparently didn't add the Pepsi fountain drink on the ticket and that I needed to pay for it. It was confusing what she was trying to tell me but I ultimately understood when she printed out the $2.95 ticket for the Pepsi. In the end, I was just shocked the events transpired the way they did. I've been going there for years, to the point where the waitress knew exactly what I get along with how I always substitute the roll out in my Bento box. I'm not saying that simply because I'm a regular patron that I deserve any special treatment like free drinks or anything. I'm torn on what to think. But what I'm certain about is that I'll find a new venue for my bento box cravings. Goodbye Osaka. read more

2 stars. I'm giving 2 stars because I love the Osaka in general - but am very disappointed in my resent visit or lack there of a visit. I called on Monday to make reservations for my family of 5 on Friday (Valentines Day) I honestly thought I would be told that they were booked up for the night and was CRAZY surprised when they said they had a 7:45 reservation open for hibachi. Yay! My family and I showed up at 7:30pm. The lobby was insane. It was crazy packed you couldn't even walk through. We stood around for 20 minutes, 5 minutes past our reservation and started to speak amongst each other about if we would even get in on time. The couple standing next to me said they had a reservation at 6:30pm and were STILL waiting (it was 7:50 at this point). So we decided to walk out and leave disappointed. No way was I going to wait until after 9:00 to feed my family. I'll definitely be back because I love the food - but I will NEVER go back to the Apple Valley location. You over booked your reservations. You failed to plan. You failed to communicate. You disappointed MANY peoples nights. AND we were standing by the host station and people were calling in asking for wait times and were being told 20-30 minutes. WHAT?! Why lie? I don't like the way you do business, Apple Valley - Osaka. read more

We used to order takeout from here weekly. But they put too much sauce on their sushi rolls. They are swimming in sauce and falling apart by the time we arrive home. Service is friendly and the fish is very fresh. They do have a few specials and will make special combos for you. We do eat inside occasionally but there is still the problem of too much sauce. Even when I request "just a little sauce." Their website usually has a coupon on it. read more

Hands down, our favorite Apple Valley restaurant. We've had the hibachi but 99% of the time, we go for the sushi. Specifically, our "go to" includes white tuna sashimi, hamachi Kama (broiled yellowtail jaw) and then any of the speciality rolls, some favorites being Winter roll, Valentine's Roll and really ANY others. Service is consistently stellar as is the quality of the sushi/sashimi. Presentation gorgeous. Trust me, you will not be disappointed if you are a sushi lover! read more

I am so glad my friends took me out to Osaka one day last year. I never even knew it existed, and if I had I probably wouldn't have thought there would be a place like this in a strip mall like that. When you walk in it's like walking into a different world. Osaka is probably my favorite restaurant around here. It is 10x better than Benehana if only for their shrimp sauce alone (but trust me, there are plenty of other reasons). I love to sit at the hibachi grill. The filet mignon is so tender that you can take leftovers home and reheat it and it's STILL tender. The fried rice is not included with the meal (you can upgrade for $3 or so) but it is so good you have to upgrade. I like to flip over the little bowl it comes in on my plate and keep it warm until the food is done. Then I throw some of the aforementioned shrimp sauce on it and it tastes like absolute heaven. Osaka also has great sushi. Every time I've ordered it it's been very fresh and delicious. If you sit in the regular restaurant you can watch the sushi chef prepare your sushi rolls right there. If it's your birthday they put this crazy, frightening (to me at least) paper mache mask on your head, play a birthday song and fire up the disco lights. It's pretty funny. read more

Love the food and entertainment! As usual, overpriced for basic steak, chicken, shrimp and scallops. You're paying for entertainment. Not necessarily the food. Though it's delicious, it's overpriced (based on food quality alone). Get a buzz going, and then go. That way the entertainment alone is worth a price you pay. read more

I would normally give this place 5 stars, but we had to wait an hour to be seated even after a reservation was made. But it is hard to stay angry with such good service, food, and entertainment. I love the Saki gulping and the extras you don't get at Benihana. Sure it isn't as classy, but the other experiences make up for it. read more
