    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!

    This place blew my expectations away. For the price, the quality and selection are impressive…read more Ramen, a full sushi bar, hibachi options. This place had it all. The sushi selection was stellar for a buffet. Fresh sashimi and plenty of rolls to choose from, all tasting fresh and well made. The space itself is great and the service was solid and attentive. This is one of those spots where you walk in with normal expectations and leave genuinely impressed. I would absolutely come back.

    I set my expectations a little lower before trying Oishi as I was not sure how good an all-you-can…read moreeat sushi restaurant would be. I am happy to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. While the sushi rolls are a bit heavy on the rice, the quality and variety of rolls was very good. Along with a full menu which includes appetizers, soups, ramen and hibachi entrees there is quite a good amount of choices. If a group includes someone who isn't a fan of sushi, there are options for them. My wife and I both ordered a miso soup to start along with beverages and I also ordered a shrimp shu mai appetizer. We then stuck with the sushi which was available at the buffet. Since they state up front that they will charge for "wasted" food, the best recommendation is not to load up your plate but get a smaller number of things at a time and make multiple visits to the buffet. The variety of creative rolls impressed me as well as the quality. I was also impressed with how clean the restaurant was. While I did gaze briefly at the desserts, I didn't try any as I was full from trying the many of the sushi rolls available.

    It's definitely annoying that they charge you for water. They do not offer tapwater so they charge…read moreyou $.67 to get bottled water. 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. I would try to put the scallops on the side as soon as you receive them. Good yum yum sauce and well cooked food overall.

    Upfront, all of my reviews are based on my expectations going in. So the best sushi that you could…read morepossibly have at a gas and convenience store, will not be anywhere close to five stars at Nobu. That said; We visited Musashi several times before this review. So right off the bat I can say that the service and the flavor of the food has been consistently wonderful! 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.
