    Beef With Vegetables med spicy
    Cheryl W.

    I came here for takeout. I got the beef with vegetables medium spicy. It was very good but if you want it a bit more spicer ask for hot sauce on the side. This was full of flavor and plenty of beef and vegetables. I would order this again. My order was ready in 15 minutes. The dining room is open again if you want to dine in.

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!

    The worst customer service experience I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else…read more I've never left a yelp review before, but my experience was excepitionally awful and warrants a review. I placed an order directly through the Quickway website for my husband's and son's joint birthday dinner. I ordered four meals and received only two. I paid extra for delivery specifically so our family could spend more time together at home celebrating their birthdays. When I realized half of our order was missing, I immediately texted the number provided with the delivery information. I received no response. I then called the restaurant, explained the situation, and was told that they had given the driver two bags and that I needed to contact DoorDash. The problem was that I did not order through DoorDash. I ordered directly through Quickway's website. I explained this and asked them to contact the driver to figure out where the rest of my order was. Instead, I was treated incredibly rudely and told that my only option was to drive to the restaurant myself to pick up the missing food. When I asked them to simply deliver the food I had already paid for, I was told they could not do that. Then they hung up on me. I called back and asked to speak to a manager. I was told the manager was busy, so I said I would hold until he was available. My husband and I eventually drove to the restaurant while I remained on hold. After 17 minutes on hold, we walked into the restaurant and found the manager sitting in a booth eating dinner, while I was still on hold on the phone in my hand. There wasn't a single customer in the restaurant. I told the employee at the register that I had been on hold waiting to speak with the manager. She spoke to the manager in Spanish, and he gestured to us that he was eating. My husband then asked him to get up and speak with us since I had been hung up on and was now sitting on hold waiting for him. The manager was only about to communicate with us through the other employee and a translation app. He insisted that all four meals had been sent and told us to contact DoorDash. He refused to refund a single dollar, despite the fact that I paid for four meals and delivery and received only two. At this point, the missing food was almost beside the point. The complete lack of accountability, professionalism, and basic customer service was unbelievable. Mistakes happen. Orders get lost. Bags get left behind. I understand that. What I do not understand is a business refusing to help a customer resolve a problem that occurred with an order placed directly through their own website, then hanging up on the customer, refusing to provide a reasonable solution, and having a manager sit and eat dinner while the customer waits on hold to speak with him. And this happened during my husband's and son's birthday celebration. Quickway had multiple opportunities to make this right and chose not to. Instead, they made an already frustrating situation exponentially worse. I have never experienced customer service this poor. I will never, ever give Quickway my business again. Next time you're ordering take-out, save yourself the frustration and order from somewhere else.

They'll bring out a cup with ice and then a water bottle for you to pour. Their hot green tea was very bitter, and I didn't recognize the teabag that they used. Hibachi is always an entertaining experience and my SO loves it. We waited a long time before the cook came. The performance was fun and we got a lot of steak because we waited so long. They seemed like they were very busy, so the chef came quickly and left quickly. The scallops were really wet so it made the fried rice soggy.

We have not yet tried the sushi, we always come for hibachi. We have sampled the tempura, Giza, and Schumer for appetizers. Enjoy the mushroom broth and salad that comes before the meal. We are never made to wait if we are the only two of the hibachi table, the shift comes out promptly and makes our food With flare into our taste. We routinely get filet mignon, rare. And it is made perfectly to order, and we frequently take home a second helping for later. From the hostess to the server to the chef and the bartender, we have always experienced excellence and courteous service.

Vegetarian Friendly: I'm vegetarian so the menu is kind of limited for me, but I was surprised to see they still have some really good options. Not sure I'd call it a full-on vegetarian friendly place, but there's enough there that I'd definitely go back, no problem. Decor: Really liked the place, very nice. Food Ordered: A bunch of apps, a Thai red curry (funny to get that at a Japanese spot, but that's what I went with), one of their specialty sushi rolls for my wife, and a seaweed salad. Food Breakdown: Overall everything was pretty solid. Portion Size: We left very full -- we were expecting to spend a lot more, but the price and amount of food we got was pretty well done. Service: Not too bad. Wouldn't say the best servers I've ever had, but the lady got the job done -- nothing super special. Price: Pretty good for a Japanese place. Also a cool feature: if you pay cash, they give you an 8% discount, which is a solid chunk of money when you think about it compared to credit card purchasing.
