Although we were given quick service, it wasn't necessarily a pleasant one. To start off, we ordered some Gabi. The good thing about it was that it was not spicy. I cannot tolerate spice, and a lot of Japanese places that I have previously gone to put so much heat on it that I find it unpleasant. Although the seasoning was good, the portions weren't. The first one that I grabbed was just a bone surrounded by fat. There was not a piece of it that I could chew and swallow. Then the server kept coming by the area every ten seconds to check on everything but when I asked for yum yum sauce, he never came with it. I honestly think he dropped it off to the wrong table. And the Mexican roll that I ordered didn't taste fresh. Both rolls I ordered seemed so bland. Other places I have been to have tasted more flavorful. Don't think I would return. read more

Osaka Sushi & Grill - Mexican Roll & Avocado Roll - Japanese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

One of my favorite sushi spots! I've been coming to Osaka for years and it never disappoints. I started with the crab rangoons (so crispy and golden with the sweetest dipping sauce -- literally can't stop eating them). Then the shrimp tempura roll with eel sauce... the crunch + that sweet glaze combo is everything. And the salmon + yellowtail sashimi? So fresh, so buttery, melt-in-your-mouth good every single time. Warm sake on the side because we're romanticizing dinner, obviously. It's cozy, it's cute, it's consistently good, and it's one of those places I'll always come back to. A little sushi night just makes life better! read more

Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The steak was juicy, the vegetables were well cooked, and the fried rice and noodles were both solid and filling. The sushi rolls were beautifully presented, and topped with plenty of sauce. We left full and happy. Would absolutely order this spread again. read more

Stopped in here today with the wife. Staff seated us immediately for lunch. Happy hour prices were in effect and I settled on the sashimi lunch which was $13.99 and included a ginger dressing salad, Miso soup, six pieces of sashimi and a roll. We also ordered the Hot Jasmine Tea. The dining room was beautiful and well decorated. The food was excellent. The portion size was perfect. We determined that we now have a new sushi place and are looking forward to coming back again. All the ingredients were fresh with exactly the proper amount of rice on the roll. The miso soup was some of the best I've ever had. You can't go wrong with Osaka Sushi and Grill. read more

Osaka Sushi & Grill - Sushi Lunch - Japanese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Met my friend here for a lunch date with our 3 young kids. Osaka was SO accommodating. Not only was the service fast and friendly the food was amazing. We both got lunch specials and kids meals for the kids. The kids meals are very generous portions and the lunch special with tax is about $12 for 2 rolls, salad, and soup. The sushi was fresh and flavorful and the kids hibachi lunches were fantastic. They all had food left to bring home! read more

We were craving sushi for lunch and decided to come here since we had not been here before. Spoiler alert, we were so impressed! The decor was classy and inviting. The server was attentive. I got the Lunch Special with 3 rolls, so I could try an assortment of what they have to offer. I got the Alaska, Tuna Avocado and Godzilla rolls. I was impressed with the fact that you get miso soup and the salad with the ginger dressing with the lunch special. I loved every single thing. The miso was one of the best I've ever had. All of the rolls were so fresh. I was very impressed and will definitely be coming back soon. read more

We visited during happy hour and found the specialty rolls to be a bit pricey, but the generous portions more than compensated for it. Also, the chicken hibachi from the happy hour menu doesn't include noodles, which wasn't an issue for us but is worth mentioning. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered. The service was exceptional; our food arrived promptly, despite it being a Saturday afternoon when the restaurant wasn't busy at all. Moreover, the ambiance was delightful, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. read more

Meh Happy hour is great for basic rolls The service is super amazing and kind Place is clean Many specialty rolls which we tried, which were good, but the flavors of the roll got lost in all the sauces, Mayo, glaze....even the classic spider was difficult to taste the soft shell crab. Lunch looks like good options, and some of the bowls loos really good! Maybe try again? I think beer and wine only read more

Quick service, excellent fresh sushi and great lunch specials. 2 for 1 draft beers are nice for a date night. Will be coming back!

Staying in the emerald green resort condos for a work trip and this was a quick, tasty and easy stop for lunch. I was sat less than a minute after walking in the door. Sat at the bar. Everything I ordered was brought less than 10min after I ordered. Tropical roll was delicious. The shumai was also tasty. read more

They have really good food. The server was really nice and bubbly. Our orders came out quickly. The Godzilla and Tampa rolls were scrumdiddlydumptious. I especially loved the gyoza. They were the best I've ever had at a local sushi restaurant. Would definitely recommend read more

We have the sushi/ sashimi combo for two. GREAT food and EXCELLENT service !!! The combo was served on a boat which must've been 18"-24" long - very generous portions of fresh fish and huge spider roll (we upgraded the green dragon roll with the spider roll). DEFINITELY recommended !!! read more

We were looking for a good sushi spot with great deals and we were so happy to find this one! The food was excellent. My husband said the gyoza was the best he's ever had at a local restaurant. They were tasty & crispy but not too crunchy. The rolls were fantastic as well. The Godzilla roll was delicious and for those who like eel I would definitely recommend the eel roll. Service was fantastic and you simply cannot beat the happy hour! They have a very large menu and sure to have whatever you are looking for! read more

This is my first time here, and I heard that they had a really good lunch special. I decided to stop by with my family. I ordered the sashimi, and I also came with a roll.

I haven't been here for dinner but I would give it a try sometime. read more

Absolutely delicious. So so good. I'm not normally a sushi lover, BUT this truly helped me turn over a new leaf. This place is super delicious, and I go here every time I crave sushi, no exceptions. I got my family who don't like sushi to love it. My go-to roll for ANY NEW person who isn't familiar with sushi or doesn't normally like it to try the Godzilla roll or the Dynamite roll. I always go for the Godzilla roll and will always recommend it to others and have told my friends to come here to get it. It's a really affordable and lovely lunch place and they have even better prices during Happy Hour. The service is great, very lovely and attentive people working. It's a nice area and good for social get togethers read more

Great staff, fish is always tasty and wonderful. Happy Hour is a gift - tremendous value. Never had a bad meal.

I loved the service!! It was very wonderful!! The best part about it was definitely the ambiance, no loud noises or anything! The other thing is the food had me going in eating one roll after another! read more

* the staff: the waitress that we have each time that we have gone is super sweet and attentive -- my friends and I absolutely love her * dining area: plenty of seating and everything is spaced out accordingly * what i ordered: - the empire roll [$15.95] - flavors were great (lobster salad + spicy krab-meat and citrus mango sauce) wrapped in soy paper. 8.5/10 - six flags roll [$14.75] - this was tasty and they give you a ton of sauce to dip the sushi in on the plate. the roll itself + the topping was too big for a one biter so it kind of gets a bit messy. flavor is good though, 8/10 - summer bonjour [$9.95] - perfect one biters with great refreshing taste. rolled with rice paper 9/10 - mango girl [$9.95] - my most favorite roll (can be found in the appetizer section); spicy lobster & asparagus wrapped in mango slices covered with mango sauce. this is soooo delicious i get this every time i come here. 10/10 summary: this is one of the better sushi places in the area. my friends and i drive from the usf area when we crave sushi because there's nothing as good of quality as this place around us. the staff is friendly and the food is good. 9/10 overall. read more

We have dined here countless times. Have yet to be disappointed. That is a hard feat to accomplish. Love the rolls that are specific to the area (Carrollwood and North Tampa) rolls. Also, the Flying Seabass. The crab avocado salad is a must try as well. The atmosphere is very laid back, so come as you are. All good words for this place. どういたしまして read more

Great Happy Hour! The sushi is alway fresh and tasty. Service is fast and accurate.

I cannot comment on service nor ambiance as I order off of ubereats. What I can comment on is the food! Wow, I just recently moved from the northeast to Florida and one thing I have missed more than anything is good sushi. I have tried a BUNCH of top rated spots that frankly are so overrated. For me, the sushi rolls here were comparable to the quality and taste of northeast sushi. Absolutely delicious!! Complex and clean flavors that left me savoring. My favorite was the godzilla roll. The yummy sauce is a perfect combination with any roll as it is not too overwhelming like spicy mayo but adds a delicate flavor to the roll. My ONE critique is to not package wasabi on top of ginger. It seems like it's prepared ahead of time and once you get it, the wasabi and a STRONG ginger flavor. Some might enjoy this but I am not a fan. read more

I always order the shrimp that's on the appetizer section and also de crab Rangoon, delicious ! My husband always order tempura roll

Ya know, this place is really good. Consistently good. I've ordered takeout as well as dined in and both were good. On my first to go order, there was a snafu with the online ordering. I contacted the restaurant right away and it ordered did not go through. They were so willing to help and really made the process easy. There are so many sushi options and everyone single one I've tried I've really enjoyed. Right now my favorite is the Pinky lady dragon. There are lots of sushi options in the area but not all offer a good could product. This one is different and worth a shot. read more

Absolutely delicious sushi and nice atmosphere! I totally jived with this place. First time experience was a hit, my bf and I only waited about 5 min before being seated despite it being pretty busy. The staff was friendly and attentive, and our server was on point with everything, including recommendations on the menu. Hot sake a must! For appetizer I tried the giant tuna rolls, which looks like a pouch. (2 per order) Inside is avocado, crunchies and spicy crab meat wrapped in raw ahi tuna, topped with caviar and wasabi sauce. While it was awkward at first to figure out how to bite into it, I was surprised to find at how soft the tuna was and didn't let the insides fall out. Perfect blend of crunch and tuna, I added some Sriracha to give it a bit more kick. Next we ordered the udon soup, bbq short ribs, octopus salad, the Out of control roll, Bonzai roll, and assorted sashimi pieces (personal faves are tuna, eel and escolar). Sooooo good! Lots of flavor, the textures of the fish with the rice blended together perfectly and everything was done fresh. Mine had so much fish, I ordered my roll with less rice and was phenomenal. 3 types of fish inside, 3 types on the outside! Can never go wrong with a little extra eel sauce on the side. The sashimi was also very fresh and on point, no fishy old taste whatsoever. I'm definitely excited to try more things on the menu. Well worth the visit if you want a good vibe, great sushi, clean environment, very reasonable prices and great service! read more

Great service very nice place it's just the good isn't that good honestly, a kind of just taste cheap. It's supposed to be a hibachi place, but it just was not good hibachi I will say sushi was pretty delicious. read more

Service is terrible. Rude waitresses. Too bad because lunch special is generally good.

We went out for an end of year family celebration. Our first choice was Kobe, as we hadn't been there in a while. They were booked solid. We have an Osaka Express near our house that we like, so when we saw the sign for Osaka Sushi & Grill we decided to try it! We all loved it!! First, the atmosphere was very welcoming! Our server was exceptionally friendly and very attentive! My daughters and I ordered the Sushi Combo 2 with the spicy salmon, spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail. My son orders the chicken hibachi and my husband the chicken and steak hibachi! All our meals came is a soups and salad! We also ordered Krab Rangoon and edamame. The Rangoon were delicious!! The edamame could have used more salt, but overall good. The sushi was delicious and very flavorful and the hibachi meals were a hit. My husband said "this is better than Kobe! Kobe is very gimmicky and the food is very greasy and heavy. It's not like that here and the food is much better!!" Guess where we will plan to go next time?? Osaka!! read more

This place has AWESOME sushi and hibachi lunch specials!! My husband always goes for the chicken and steak hibachi, whereas I'm a sushi lover. I usually switch it up, but every roll I've had here has been consistently good. I love the soup and salad that it comes with as well. This place has definitely been added to our rotation of places that we go to often and we'll continue to come back read more

We went for the happy hour rolls. Loved what we got! The food was perfect and the service amazing.

I haven't been sushi hunting in a while so Id thought Id try this place. The interior is dark mocha/black area with lots of lights and some Asian lanterns and such. On the left is the sushi bar and in front is the "regular" bar with booths and tables spread throughout. Whats cool is that they have regular US songs instead of generic Asian instrumental muzak. One nice thing about the sushi bar area is that the the chairs are normal height and the bar is at the same height as the tables. I'm not a big high top fan and bar tops with barely any space. The service was prompt and courteous. There were only a handful of patrons since it was Sunday evening. I ordered Spicy Tuna roll, White Hot roll, and Out of control roll and a coke. The fish was fresh and there was a good amount of it. The presentation was really nice. There are saucy rolls, which is common in USA sushi joints. The only real negatives was that the two special rolls ($12-WH and $14-OOC) tasted somewhat similar. When I read over the menu, I felt that there was a bit more overlap in ingredients than I'm used to. They were solid but I wasn't blown away like I am especially considering the cost. Ever since Takara closed down in New Tampa a few years ago and Kaisen in Carrolwood, I've been a sushi nomad, but I haven't settled down with a new sushi place yet. Sushi - 3.5/5 Decor/Service 4.5/5 4/5 total Overall: A solid place to get sushi in Carrolwood. read more

My review is based on takeout through Uber eats . I ordered the hibachi meal with shrimp and steak. It comes with fried rice with egg, noodles and veggies-zucchini,broccoli,carrots and onions. There is the option of clear soup or salad with the meal; I chose the soup. The soup has thin sliced mushrooms and onions. The meal comes with a small container of yum yum sauce. Everything in the meal was flavourful and the portion size was plentiful. Food tasted just as good as if it was cooked in front of me at a restaurant. Food was packaged well. read more

Osaka Sushi & Grill - Hibachi shrimp and steak - Japanese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Friends and I went to Osaka on a Saturday night for the happy hour and hibachi. Most of us ordered rolls from the happy hour menu. There is a good selection of sushi rolls. We ordered the pearl roll, eel cucumber roll, kamakaza roll, Tampa roll, Philly roll, dynamite roll. The rolls tasted fresh and were a good size. We shared the rolls. My friend enjoyed the steak hibachi. The friend enjoyed it and got a clear soup as well. The inside and front of the restaurant is dated. The noise level can get loud if the restaurant is crowded. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and will be back to get sushi from Osaka! read more

STAFF NOT WEARING MASKS. We love this sushi place. Ate there prepandemic. Have ordered takeout through this pandemic and it has amazing sushi. When they opened for in person dinning we were excited to go during off times to avoid the non mask wearing guests. But last night, 1 Sushi Chef prepared our meal without a mask. Another server hung with other staff with the mask hanging from her ear. Working full time myself, I get being over the mask however this is a deal breaker. If you aren't responsible at work. How can I trust what these people are doing outside of work. The sushi chef had ZERO cares walking around with no mask, close to other staff while preparing food. Very disappointed, we can't go back. read more
