The absolute best Japanese food, and if you're lucky enough to have the cook Josh, you will have the time of your life!!!

I don't know what to say about a place where the food is very good, but the service is usually very bad. I think the wait staff has good intentions, but if the place is busy, you will sit there for 90 minutes waiting for the most simple order to be fulfilled by the kitchen, assuming you even get everything you ordered. I would be encouraged if I planned to open a restaurant in Gaffney that offered a slightly more upscale experience and made a menu with more than Chinese, Mexican and meat-and-three. The demand is there, maybe too much demand. read more

Osaka Sushi & Steakhouse - Poke Bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gaffney, South Carolina

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Osaka Sushi & Steakhouse today. Several people from our church met here for lunch after church. There were 9 people total, but 2 were babies, only 6 and 8 months old, so there were 7 people actually eating. We were NOT all on one check. Before ordering, the waiter specifically asked how the checks should be separated. There were 4 separate checks, and my daughter and I were the only two people on ours. The food itself was honestly just okay and pretty bland. My daughter and I both ordered our steaks medium rare. What we received was grey, soft, cubed steak with very little flavor and certainly nothing I would consider medium rare. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On top of that, it was 84 DEGREES inside the restaurant! Sitting around a hot hibachi grill in an 84-degree restaurant certainly didn't make the experience any better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also ordered spring rolls, crab rangoon, two sushi rolls, steak and chicken for me, and steak and shrimp for my daughter. I fully expected a substantial bill. What I DIDN'T expect was for the amount to change AFTER I had already been presented with my check. The waiter initially brought everyone their individual checks. Mine was $99.78. I looked at it and knew the total. Everyone then handed him their cards. After collecting our cards, he returned with new checks and said we needed to "check the tickets" to make sure they matched what we ordered. Except that wasn't what changed on mine. Nothing about my order was incorrect. An 18% gratuity had been added, changing my bill from $99.78 to $117.74. THIS is what bothered me most. Instead of simply saying, "I forgot to add the automatic gratuity," we were told we needed to check our tickets. To me, that felt misleading. If you're going to add automatic gratuity, JUST SAY THAT. Don't collect my card after presenting one total, then return with a different total and make it sound as though you're simply asking me to verify my order. To be clear, this is NOT about refusing to tip. I fully intended to tip. I understand automatic gratuity for large parties. My issue is how this was handled when my check was for TWO people. I looked for the gratuity policy while leaving and did find it, twice. So yes, there IS a posted notice, and I want to be fair about that. However, it's near the bottom of an approximately 8x10 sheet listing several other things in VERY small font. I didn't notice either sign until I was on my way OUT after paying. If an automatic 18% gratuity increases a bill by nearly $18, it should be displayed prominently. Put it in larger print, on the menu, or have the server mention it when asking how checks are being divided. I also question how "large party" is defined here. There were 9 people, but 2 were infants, only 7 were eating, and we were divided among 4 separate checks. My check was for only my daughter and me. This is also a hibachi restaurant, where customers routinely share cooking tables with others. If everyone seated together is considered one party for automatic gratuity regardless of separate checks, that policy needs to be made VERY clear upfront. Again, I'm NOT saying the waiter didn't deserve a tip. I'm saying I should have been clearly informed that 18% was automatically being added instead of being handed a $99.78 bill, giving over my card, and THEN having it changed to $117.74 under the explanation that we needed to "check the tickets." The bland food was one thing. The 84-degree restaurant didn't help. But the way the billing was handled is what completely ruined the experience for me. Unfortunately, after this experience, I WILL NOT RETURN to this Osaka or ANY other Osaka location. There are too many restaurants where I can spend my money, tip appropriately, and most importantly, trust that the bill I'm handed is actually the bill I'm going to pay. read more

Absolutely the worse. They definitely know how to ruin a Father's Day. The cook had zero energy and hardly talked to anyone at our table. He couldn't get anyone's order at our table correct. We will never come back here. Not sure how this place has a 4 star. They were more focused on pre closing than taking care of customers. Whoever was managing tonight definitely wasn't doing their job. Not worth the money. read more

Business dinner at the hibachi grill. Very entertaining and food was very good. Ordered some sushi as well and was a great meal. Don't forget the Sake! read more

Food was gross. Employees don't know how to follow instructions. Manager kept arguing.

No a bad or great place. Beer always seems flat. Service is so so. Menu never changes and is lacking. Been 4 times and pretty much done.

First time trying sushi and I enjoyed it. I was full off 4 pieces but it was worth the try. The fried gyoza **chefs kiss** my fav of the sushi's was probably the crispy bagel roll. The service provided was very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was very nice wasn't too bright nor too dark.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We were in the neighborhood so we stopped in for some Chinese food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were initially seated just outside the large room that has the 'cook on the table area' (or whatever it is formally called). There was already a large group in there. I have no idea what was going on, but those customers were SCREAMING! That's right, actually yelling and screaming in there. We were completely taken aback. Did someone need an ambulance? Nope. Just rude customers that didn't care about anyone else except their party. Who the heck acts like that in a restaurant?? They were completely ignorant people and the restaurant didn't do anything about it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We thought about leaving since no one had even come to our table to take our order. Once they finally came, we asked to be moved far away from that open grill area and closer to the front door. Ugh. We each had the hibachi combo. I had the steak and chicken and he had the steak and shrimp. The food was decent, but the price was a tad high for the area. read more

Made a reservation for 1:00 on New Year's Day. All of our party was there at 1:00. Hostess set a party in front of us that had no reservations and we waited 1 1/2 hours for our chef to start cooking. We had to leave at 3:00 with our food in to go boxes. Food was good but not the experience we had hoped for. read more

Service was great but the food was NOT good. He used garlic butter in everything and someone in our party doesn't eat garlic. He put eggs in the rice and once again she doesn't eat eggs. He didn't ask anything about if anyone didn't eat garlic, eggs or mixed vegetables. The chicken was tender but no flavor. No flavor in the rice either. Also he cooks mixed vegetables instead of zucchini and onions. My crowd likes zucchini and onions. My bill with tip was $230 for 6 of us. Hard to pay that price for a bad meal. Had leftovers I brought home but threw them away. Will NEVER go back!!! Also had to pay $2.50 each for the rice to be fried. Added $15 to the b read more

Great food, fresh, and perfect amount. Delicious adult beverages as well as various soft drinks and teas, hot and cold. I had the spring rolls and small salad with ginger dressing. Delicious and fresh! For my choice of adult beverage, I had the American Mule-Russian Mule, yummy. Perfect and tasty. I highly recommend Osaka of Japan for your dining pleasure, alone or with friends. Enjoy. read more

Best Sushi in the area! A nice selection of sushi rolls, and every time we've eaten here, we're always impressed with how fresh and delicious everything is. We've never gotten teppanyaki but friends highly recommended it as well. Honestly, this is our favorite sushi place in North GA, and whether you dine in or get takeout, you can't go wrong. There is a wide variety of sushi rolls, and each one I've tried has been fantastic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Highly recommend for large parties or couples; also kid friendly and a large menu to please every palate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great Food, fantastic service and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance was perfect[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Highly recommend...........................

[[HIGHLIGHT]]So, the place is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service-wise, our waitress was nice and prompt. The other staff, however, were cussing a lot behind the bar in conversation with one another--it felt like a PG-13 movie with 'GD' this and that throughout my whole meal. That alone is unprofessional for what's supposed to be a medium-class restaurant; this isn't Waffle House. Food-wise, the soup was high quality. We ordered a filet and some sushi, and the sushi we received was great--the Mango Tango roll was excellent. The 'filet,' though, was 1000% a New York strip at best. It was the thinnest, toughest hibachi steak I've ever had. Ordered medium, it was definitely not even close to that. The rice was subpar in my opinion, and while the yum yum sauce was good--not great--it was very watery. I realize some places have their own take on this, and it's a personal preference, but I enjoy a good balance where it's not basically milk on my plate. I feel robbed, honestly, about the steak. Maybe the experience is different on the hibachi side, where obviously you can't hand someone a New York strip and charge them for a filet. I'm not the type to complain in the moment; I'd rather not deal with this on my date night. I hope y'all get it right for the next person. We frequent Japanese restaurants, but never this one. read more

Took longer then expected to get a table for two, they said 45mins....we've been waiting over and hour....bad business will NEVER RECOMMEND!

This place was nice and clean but tipping yourself is absolutely insane and actually $15 a tip I was gonna give you one anyways, but I will not come here if you was rich and you don't care about giving your money to away. But I won't be back and I won't bring my family back read more

We went for my granddaughter's birthday. We had to wait for a hibachi table. After being seated, we were watching the other tables being entertained by their chefs. Drinks, salads & soups were brought out & then our chef came out very quietly. He tried throwing rice into our mouths & missed everyone's except 1. He was very quiet & not entertaining at all. The food was ok, my steak over cooked. I go there regularly for the sushi & it's excellent. This was very disappointing & below my expectations. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great service, and great group accommodations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please don't overlook the fried noodles!

What a great experience! My family came here for my birthday and it exceeded expectations! Our chef, Joshua, was awesome. He was so engaging, knew everyone's names, and made delicious food while entertaining everyone. He sang a couple songs with his guitar and even surprised me with a song he picked that was extra significant to me. He had the entire area singing along! Our waitress was hustling and on top of everything. Everyone got to-go boxes because the food was superb! The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were cared for. We will definitely be back! read more

Sushi is good. Last time I checked and that's when they first open. Ramen is horrible. Very lazy. Calamari it's good but after having them ramen I question the calamari too. It wasn't rings and tentacles like traditional calamari. It was chopped and I could of sworn I was eating chicken. Sometimes when you fry fish and chicken grease it gives it a good flavor. I think that they was just blatantly cutting corners. Honestly the calamari tastes like chicken. The staff is nice though. I question the food. read more
