We should have walked out when the waitress spilled an entire glass of water into my purse. We decided to stay and give it a chance but we're disappointed in the entire meal. While the food had good flavor- the service, experience and quality was disappointing. So when we arrived we waited for a few minutes before a hostess even appeared at the front to greet us. We were seated at a hibachi table in the back room. The ambience was good and we were excited to try it! The waitress took our drink orders and when she came back dropped a glass on the floor and into my purse. The glass shattered everywhere and the staff kept saying to us "it's ok, it's ok, don't worry." But that was the problem- it wasn't ok, my bag was dripping water, everything inside was wet and no one seemed to care. My leggings and shoes were all wet. The brought me a plastic bag to put my stuff in after we asked twice and eventually brought me paper towels. The waitress apologized but no one seemed to care. We ordered hibachi and sushi. The prices are cheap, but you get what you pay for. My salad didn't have a tomato while my brother and mom did. The soup had no flavor and tasted like dishwater. I had the O-Boy roll which was good but the salmon was so over cooked it was crunchy. The hibachi chef was lackluster and had no personality. You get a big portion of fried rice but there are lots of purple onions which I'm not a huge fan of. The chicken was disgusting no one could eat it. It was overlooked and bad quality. The filet was good but I had to have him recook mine because it was not the right temperature. The steak was not good quality either. My brother had sushi and the portion was really small. He said the yellowtail tasted like dish soap. We won't be back to Osaka. We were hoping to find a good hibachi option in the area but were very disappointed. read more

I came for lunch on a Wednesday. It is a really cute place. I ordered miso soup and sashimi lunch special. The presentation was beautiful. I was shocked. The sashimi were all really good and fresh. I definitely enjoyed my lunch. Service was great too! read more

One of the best sushi restaurants in the area and it has a great location on haddon Ave. We've eaten here many times, dined in and taken out and never had anything we didn't like. Some of my favorites: striped bass sashimi, salmon roll, rock shrimp, age tofu, kani salad. You can't go wrong with whatever you order. We've never had the hibachi, so I can't speak directly on that, although it seems to always have a great crowd. Prices are fair for what you're getting! Service is friendly, but can be slow at times. Will always be our go to spot! read more

Below average. If looking for a sushi dinner there are much better places close by. We ended up there because Sagami was closed, in retrospect should have chosen a different place. Nothing wrong with food, service, or prices, just not good. Miso soup was flavorless. Tempura was greasy. Chirashi cuts were small and unlike how chirashi should be served over rice, the rice was served on the side. The cuts of fish in the rolls were thin and thus overshadowed by the past ripe avocado. Tamago was again not bad just not good. Reminded me of mall sushi with a slightly better ambiance. Plenty of other places to go for better sushi. If you want excellent sushi go to Sagami. Skip this one. read more

Osaka - Sub par chirashi - Japanese Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

This is by far my favorite hibachi spot in the area. You can't go wrong with any variation of hibachi or sushi. The restaurant is BYO and they accept reservations (they are on Open Table). The highlight of eating here is when there is a birthday. The song is GOLD and really lifts your spirits. Everyone bops along and claps. The birthday celebration comes with a free sushi boat filled with fresh fruit along with the coolest candle you will ever see. read more

I was thoroughly impressed with Osaka when we ordered for our Valentine's Dinner. We scheduled earlier in the day and the order came within 5 minutes of our estimated time. We definitely ordered too much (as we always do) but everything was delicious. We ordered 2 appetizers - the crab Rangoon and the duck roll. The crab Rangoon was probably one of the best we've had in a while. The outside was crisp and the inside was stuffed with a delicious crab cream cheese mixture that had just the right amount of sweetness. The duck rolls were also really good. We've never had a duck roll and knew we needed to try it. I personally liked it better the next day (yes, we ordered so much we had leftovers for the next day). We felt like these would probably be better fresh (not having to travel), but tasty nonetheless. The rolls were full of fillings and they used very fresh ingredients. We ordered the yellowtail jalapeño roll which had just the right amount of heat and a few pieces of sashimi (mackerel, yellowtail, scallop, and eel. We also got the UFO roll, Collingswood roll, and Scorpion roll. My personal favorite was the Collingswood - I loved the salmon with mango inside. Because we didn't get enough food, we also ordered the shrimp hibachi - which was HUGE. The hibachi dinner came with miso soup and a ginger salad, along with giant portions of fried rice, flavorful shrimp, and a side of hibachi veggies. Everything was delicious. I didn't think the prices were unreasonable. Not including the delivery tip, it was about $100 for all of it. I would highly recommend Osaka if you live in the South Jersey/Camden County area. The next time my sushi craving hits, I know exactly where I'll be ordering from. read more

Today was my first time going or hearing about this restaurant. And I am so glad I did!! The decor is very inviting and romantic. The restaurant is huge, there is a regular "sushi" section in the front and towards the back is hibachi tables. Tonight we choose only sushi so we stayed in the front part of restaurant. As the appetizer my friend and I shared the fried calamari. It was very fresh and crispy.. So good!! For my entrée I ordered the shrimp tempura roll and the lobster roll... Both delicious!!! My friend had the crazy dragon roll... And OMG that was to die for!! For dessert we had the exotic bomb, which was 3 different sorbets in one covered in a coating of white chocolate.. So delicious!! Definitely a must have!! The service was great and we did not feel rushed to leave. It is a BYOB so don't forget your bottle!! I am pleasantly pleased and I will definitely go back again!!! read more

We went on a Saturday night to celebrate a big step in my boyfriend's career with his family. We asked to sit in a booth and we're seated near the door which brought in freezing air each time the door was opened which really created an unhappy atmosphere. I understand there is not much you can do about the weather, but the set up was far from ideal. Dinner was delicious and the food was a 10, but the service was not great. We felt rushed, she tried to take plates away from the table while we were still eating from them. She forgot one of our appetizers and when we mentioned it she said sorry but still never brought it. Dessert was highly disappointing and it seemed that the creme brulee was made and tourched in the morning and put in the refrigerator to sell. Highly recommended for dinner, but skip the dessert. read more

Stopped by for sushi the other night to celebrate a birthday. All the sushi rolls we ordered were solid and I thought the flavors and preperation were as as good as any. Service was attentive and prices reasonable. Parking in Collingswood can be tricky, so be sure to park out back of the restaurant in the big municipal lot. But what really made the evening was the special birthday light show they put on. Suddenly, the lights dim to black in the restaurant, and multicolored strobes and dance balls flash throughout. For one brief, terrifying moment I thought the alien mothership from "Close Encounteres" had touched down and I was soon to be spirited away to the sound of off-key asian karaoke. Soon the lights came back on and out came an enormous sushi boat filled with fresh cut fruit for the table. Glad not to have to spend eternity with the ageless aviators of Flight 19, I dug into the pineapple. read more

Went here for lunch the other day with 7 coworkers. We sat around the hibachi grill and had a great time. A few of us split some sushi pizzas, they were excellent! It was also great that some people could get the hibachi meal, while the other half of us got a variety of rolls. The servers were super friendly and the dressing in the salad is super good. read more

Pretty good sushi for the area. It is located in a charming Main Street at Collingswood and is a good spot to go if you're nearby. We have gone a few times and the service has always consistently been fast. The sushi isn't anything extraordinary, but it's enough to satisfy a craving and it's always played really well. read more

So happy Osaka is doing takeout! I can't wait to go back to their hibachi tables with friends but in the meantime their food is always really good, even to-go. They also accommodate my in-laws gluten free restrictions really well. read more

They have gluten free soy sauce people!!!! I love when I can find a Japanese restaurant that can accommodate me- being both vegetarian and gluten free. I've gotten both sushi and vegetable hibachi here and neither disappointed. Just know that gluten free soy sauce is way saltier than regular soy sauce so be prepared for that. Doing hibachi as a group here is also SO much fun. The hibachi chef we had was absolutely hilarious and made for a great meal with some friends. For sushi, I can't comment on the quality of the fish- considering I'm vegetarian. But as far as veggie sushi goes (cucumber avocado rolls all the way!) it was really good. The rice was soft and sticky and justtt right. I've had way to many incidents of bad sushi lately and this was a very nice return to the good stuff. read more

Omg. 5 stars is not high enough. I am very picky when it comes to sushi & Japanese because it is my favorite food. Osaka has amazing sushi, Kani salad, miso soup, hibachi & tempura! I have only found one other restaurant that hits the same high mark. The staff is insanely kind and attentive. They overheard my family toast to me for my birthday (we were there for my bday) and the staff came out and surprised us by singing happy birthday and we enjoyed a complimentary, beautifully decorated, exotic fruit plate! Then, the next day, staff called my cell (as I left my # for the reservation) to tell me that they found a $50 bill under our table. How kind??!? They could have easily kept it but they were honest and caring. Very much appreciated, we will be returning! read more

My favorite restaurant in Collingswood. Don't forget it's also BYOB here. Lunch specials are insanely cheap and you get the same portions as you would for dinner. Service is always great and super quick. They do have Hibachi as an option in the back room as well. Pink Lady roll is always my favorite -- they always have 2-3 special rolls one of them being a monthly roll which its always amazing. Service and quality of food at this location is always 5 stars. read more

Best sushi and hibachi in the area! Excellent service - even in a staffing shortage. We did not wait to be seated and our food came fast!!

We came here on our first date - which feels like a lifetime ago - and now back tonight with our one year old son. The food is always absolutely delicious. The waitress was super sweet with our son. He even had a custom order cucumber avocado sushi roll. I can not say enough good things about this restaurant both as a young couple and now as a family. Thank you for such a wonderful night out! We will absolutely be back!! read more

Great Japanese food with gluten free options! Osaka stocks gluten free soy sauce, so I usually find myself opting for one of the hibachi dinners -- either chicken, steak, scallops, or shrimp. At first glance, entrees seem a bit pricey, but you really do get a ton of food. Food is fresh, with good flavors, and they're BYOB. Staff is attentive and it's usually pretty easy to get a table. read more

The 1 star is due to the horrible wait staff. I've never felt more unwanted as a customer than I have here. We ordered our food, and she basically told me I wasn't ordering it correct, and was just very rude. I ordered a soup with my combo that was an extra cost, which I knew before hand and she tried to talk me out of what I want, because of the additional cost. The sushi was fantastic, and the soup she didn't want me to order was very good. But I was very disappointed in the wait staff and how we were treated. Luckily I was just visiting this area, cause I would not make it a regular stop. read more

Best sushi place in town hands down. Osaka has the freshest and brightest fish, carefully put together for a roll that looks as good as it tastes. My favorites include the Cris roll and the Diga roll. Shumai and Gyoza appetizers were amazing. The decor is interesting and relatively modern. Occasionally smells a little strong like bleach if you show up pre-noon but overall it's always a great experience. read more

I guess this place use to be Akira and is now Osaka, I actually bought a groupon for Akira and they still honored it under Osaka and didn't hassle me which was pretty cool of them. This place is also BYOB and most customers take advantage of it. This place is has a very nice upper scale decor. The rolls are a little on the small side, but the food is great. We got a 9 pieces of assorted sushi, spicy tuna roll, salad and soup for $19. We also got shrimp and vegetable tempura $7.50 worth it. We also got a spicy scallop roll, a little on the small side, but very good $7. Will definitely be back in the future, good for date night, watch out for specials. read more

Osaka is basically two separate restaurants with a low key sushi spot in the front room and a upbeat hibachi room in the back. Both are top notch. I've eaten in the front room with my wife and enjoyed the fresh sushi, friendly service and byob. Tonight we took our 5 boys to the hibachi and had a blast! The service was prompt and attentive and the hibachi chef was awesome! He was great with the kids (ranging from 4 to 13) and the food was amazing. We all left happy and full and the kids are still talking about it. Best of all its right downtown and we were able to walk it. read more

Osaka - Hibachi fun in Collingswood - Japanese Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

I live in Collingswood, so I'm no stranger to the sushi hype in this area. Why Sagami continues to get higher reviews is beyond me. Perhaps because it's more "traditional" and the menu is bigger? I consider myself a purveyor of Japanese food. This is the BEST sushi I have ever eaten, EVERY time. It is also the best tempura I have ever had...I'd go as far as to say it's the best fried food I've eaten in my life, and I used to be a fatty, so if nothing else, you want to order that. I have had better hibatchi, I am sorry to say, but hey, you can't be great at everything. Not that it's lousy, but it's not earning them this rating. The other part of the restaurant does. I'm putting this on a separate line because I think it's worth mentioning. The service is consistently a 10. It is clear they not only realize you butter their bread, but they don't make you feel like an intrusive foreigner. On top of that, they are at the top of their game, constantly. The decor is nicer than most restaurants. Great ambiance. Perfect for date night. Cons? Pricey without a groupon/coupon. Limited menu..but that's why I think it excels. But most upscale restaurants aren't aiming for the all-encompassing Cheesecake Factory style menu, anyway. read more

I've been here a few times, only once without my child. I enjoy Haddon Avenue and all it offers. While Osaka is good, I have had better and still will go again. From the size to the taste everything was sort of boring. We came in as a party of 8. 6 adults 2 children under 5. They were very accommodating with a booster chair, patience and a kids menu. Ahhhhhhhh the kids menu. $10 from the kids menu for Hibachi fried rice with chicken or steak for a dollar more. There were other options, but I was with a prayer my 2 year old would eat the rice. The steak was really good. I had my usual Eel avocado rolls. They were good not great, but I knew what I was getting into. Please go here. We had like 3 waitresses and they were really good. Don't forget BYOB!!! :) read more

Went on New Year's Eve and just was a complete let down...upon walking in and being brought to our seat, the hostess was asking if we knew what we wanted to order (yes, you read that correctly, as we were being seated we were being asked if we knew what we were going to order)...hostess also told us to "please hurry" being that it was NYE and they had a myriad of reservations to fulfill...but I get it, I knew a week in advance it was NYE and didn't need to be reminded of all of this as I was being walked to my table... The food aspect of it was very underwhelming...hibachi chef did the minimum as far as a hibachi "show" goes, and the food was just so-so...there was also confusion between myself and the waitress upon placing my order...tons of confusion and annoyance trying to order filet and shrimp for my wife and I...once served some of the meat was undercooked and lacked flavor, but at this point my only objective was to get something in my stomach and leave...do not at all see myself going back here, we were rushed from the second we walked in and the food did not back it up... read more

Good food. Great service. We had hibachi it was very entertaining. We also had sushi and it was delicious.

Beautiful restaurant. Sushi and entrees in the front, hibachi grills in the back of house. So fresh, so amazing. Started with edamame, and 20 pieces of sashimi (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, white tuna, mackerel and Uni). In my eyes the mackerel was the best, but the Uni was the show stopper. The Uni was like mousse/custard in your mouth. Now I know why Bourdain and Zimmerman call this their favorite. We also had two handmade rolls, Haddon roll and the Collingswood roll. Words can't explain how happy we and our taste buds were. BYOB, I went with a nice bottle of Prosecco, girlfriend went with her usual Pinot Noir. Best of all, the bill was at least $40.00 less than I was expecting. Oh, we will be back. Thank you Osaka for the wonderful food and the pleasant evening. read more

Best roll over I've ever had is the firework roll. We also had the Salmon bento. Wonderful!

My friends and I choose to eat at Osaka at least a few times a year just to get us all together. We choose to sit at the hibachi tables to get the full experience. It is by far the best hibachi experience around and the food is exceptional. The chefs are well trained and a blast to be around. I also enjoy their sushi, great way to start off the meal. This is a great place to celebrate birthdays, holidays, or just get the family together for a great meal and show. My favorite park is the saki breaks in between the cooking! Always a great time. read more
