Osaka's used to be REALLY good back in the late 2000s when we first visited this place and got to…read moreenjoy watching the chefs cook the food. However, in the years since the pandemic, I can't help but feel like the quality of the food's gone down. I'm not sure if the recipe's changed or if they're using different ingredients - but it's just not that good anymore. I recently got the chicken hibachi for their lunch special and immediately, one of the things I first noticed was just how rubbery the chicken pieces were. They also tasted off and not even the yum yum sauce (which I'm pretty sure is different from the one they used to have) could save the taste. They also have a different mushroom soup now that has a lot more spice in it and the taste doesn't match with how it used to be. That being said, I will say that my wife has always enjoyed their sushi here and has never had a complaint on that. Also - the staff here have always been super kind and attentive. We've never had a single issue with the folks that work here. I can't speak of the atmosphere or state of the restaurant since I haven't dined here since 2013. Osaka's is also another staple of Culpeper and frankly - tastes better than Dragon Chef in my opinion. I just wish my recent experiences were as good as my old ones. If nothing else, the staff here are amazing and their sushi is worth coming back here for again and again. Best pricing for their lunch specials!

Fxbg has a few spots for Japanese cuisine, all with their own perks, but I think Osan tops them with the perfectly rounded experience. We were seated very quickly on a chilly Saturday evening and started with edamame, miso soup, and hot tea. We had to leave room for the sushi boat for two (so fun!! always wanted to try this!) with wonderful choices of sushi and sashimi from the chefs. I wish we could customize the choices a bit as the fried roll didn't suit our preferences, but maybe they would accommodate if we had just asked! Also, the wasabi is very intense, more so than any other place I've had it. A little goes a long way! In short, everything was fresh and flavorful, a fantastic sushi experience. Would recommend :)

We had a very good experience at Osan last night…read more Upon walking in and being seated at around 5:30pm on a Saturday night, we were struck by how organized everything was. It was very busy, but all the employees were in motion and they really seemed to be working well together. Food was great across the board, and the service was very prompt and accommodating. It is a tight and busy place. Not a lot invested in decor, but it was still a great restaurant. All in all, it was maybe a bit pricey, but not out of line for a really good Japanese restaurant. With the appetizer and the beer, it was $73.99 including tax but not including tip. We left full, but there were no leftovers.

Have tried Izakaya Nana, Genki Izakaya and Super Kyuramen and been to Izakayas in Tokyo and Kyoto…read more I love that so many Izakayas have opened in the NoVA area. The bad thing about Genki Izakaya is how crowded it can be. I'm not sure I would show up without reservations again. I've been there 3 times, the first time we didn't have a reservation and the hostess seemed very hesitant to add us to the wait list. She said the waitlist was very long. We decided not to wait. The second time we also didn't have a reservation and the hostess again seemed very hesitant to add us to the wait list. This time we did wait and were quoted 1.5 hours and it actually took about an hour. Not as bad as quoted but still busy! Third time we finally had a reservation and it still took us 20 mins to get seated as they did not have a table ready for us. To be honest the restaurant itself seems too small, they probably could be twice as big. The reason is the food at Genki Izakaya is in my opinion the best of the 3 Izakayas in the area. The Yakitori is good, hot and reasonably priced although I wish they would let you customize the $20 Yakitori Platter. I tried the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Hot Stone and was surprised that they cook it for you instead of you cooking it yourself on the hot stone. The waiter overcooked 2 pieces of the Wagyu which is annoying when it is so expensive but overall it tasted great. I like their Tonkotsu Ramen, it broth tastes great and I've had ramen all over this area, in New York City, LA area, Tokyo and Kyoto. It isn't the best I've ever tasted but it is really good especially for this area. Once seated the service is good and the food comes out quickly and everything we've had has tasted great. The only problem is how crowded it can be because its so popular! Only bad thing for us is it isn't too close about a 45 min drive but worthwhile - definitely try it if you like Izakayas and Japanese food.

The Bartender is great. The Cooks are good, again depending on who you get. The one we got he do not look at any of us in our eyes, he asked if any of us are celebrating a birthday, I said "Me" and the rest of the table pointed at me. And he went on to the next question, didn't acknowledge our answer. When I ordered my food I got the Tofu Dinner, my wife got the Vegetable Dinner (we are vegetarian). We told him that as well, again it seemed he did not understand us. When he cooked my Tofu he kept using the same utensil he was using on the shrimp, beef & chicken. I wanted to vomit in my mouth. I told him again, "I am vegetarian, no meat". He said, "yes yes no meat, tofu". And continued to use the same utensil. I paid $100 for my bill & left. I couldn't even eat my food I was terribly disgusted. If you're a vegetarian just get the Vegetable Dinner cause he cooked all those first.
