I have both done take out and dine in, and had great experiences. Food is done when they say it will be, and the chefs and staff are always pleasant and personable. read more

The food is always good here between hibachi to the sushi, even appetizers! There's always so much food when ordering hibachi...Usually enough for 2-3 meals. They have messed up 1-2 orders in all the years I've come... but have made it right without any issues. The recipe for yumyum sauce has changed so it's a little sweeter than before but still delicious. I pick this place over other places with cheaper options of the same stuff but they don't taste the same...it's really up to your own taste and preference. Worth a try read more

I've only been here a couple times but this last time will be my last. I ordered the hibachi chicken and it was sour. I thought maybe my taste buds were just confused from the ginger dressing or something but after taking the left overs home and eating it a little later it was definitely spoiled. Every other bite was sour/spoiled. No amount of yumyum sauce could cover it... read more

I have always enjoyed going to Osaka in Moline until my visit January 25th, 2026. The food tasted fine, however the hibachi chef CJ gave very disproportionate portions to each person at the table. I ordered a chicken hibachi and got half the chicken that everyone else at the table received. I even checked to make sure no one else ordered double and it was confirmed by my server that no one had. CJ served one guy who I found out was one of his friends double the rice and steak of everyone else at the table. On Sunday you must order a dinner portion and I was served the size of a lunch portion and was forced to pay double the price. Our server Caylie noticed the discrepancies in portion and tried to alert management. Management did nothing, in fact a different server came over and was very condescending and said to me "So were you not served enough food", I told her I was but the different sizes in portions was ridiculous. The manager was not alerted and this other server stood at the register with manager almost to intimidate me to not say anything. I won't be returning. read more

My husband called to ask if they could accommodate 5 people, they said yes, be here by 6:15. This was Tuesday, March 18, 2025. We arrived before 6:15. There were five tables waiting, no chefs were cooking. We waited for 15 minutes before two chefs appeared. That's all they had. We had to wait until 7:30 to eat. They put an 18% tip on the bill, which is ridiculous. I ended up with severe diarrhea that lasted for 36 hours. My daughter also had diarrhea. Needless to say, I would NOT eat at this restaurant. It's been a long time since I have had such a horrific experience. read more

Their teppanyaki cooking room was spacious. We were early and only one other grill was active with a family of 4. We were seated and they did not wait long to take our order and we had a grill to ourselves. We ordered steak and shrimp and chicken and shrimp. The Miso Soup was good as was the salad. The chef started the show with the usual knife and spatula acrobatics. The steak, chicken, and shrimp were simple with no definable unique flavor. They were cooked as ordered and the fried rice with vegetables was plentiful and hot! A nice meal reasonably priced! read more

Exceeded expectations! The reviews do not match our wonderful experience at this restaurant. We have now eaten here twice (once hibachi once just sushi). Both times we were meet with excellent service and delicious food. We also love the creative artwork of some individuals in the restaurant. The picture shows one piece that was made out of a carrot! So creative and detailed! They also have a wide variety of sushi rolls that are equally creative. Thanks for a wonderful evening out! read more

The food was great but they constantly mess up orders. Not sure if it's on purpose but it has happened to my family 3x

Food was below par for my liking They ALWAYS overcook the steak, shrimp and lobster. I told my husband his was ready to pull off the grill and the chef cooked it for another 3 mins. UGH! Shrimp only takes 3 mins max on each side and it was cooked for about 10 mins. Side salad I ordered I could have put in the palm of my hand it was so small and they charged me for a side of fried rice - $2.00 more. My shrimp tempera appetizer came with 2 shrimp - not 6 or 8 and the price was not $7.00. Not to mention that I have no clue what those round patties were. What was up with the fried piece of undercooked broccoli on my plate? The prices of the steak and shrimp was also confusing since 2 people got the same thing but one was $28.25 and the other same plate was $25.75. They want to charge you an additional $8.00 to share and when he dished out the rice he asked me if I was sharing. I emphatically told him "NO!" I will go to Bistro 888 ANYTIME over this overrated "restaurant". This place has never been my choice but it was for a birthday celebration for our son and he choose. He needs to get some new taste buds. Not to mention the men's bathroom had standing water on the floor. Too bad I don't have the sanitation department on speed dial. read more

We recently had dinner at Osaka hibachi. The food was excellent as was the service and the show by our hibachi. Chef was great.

This establishment is a great time. They cook in front and it's just a cool experience, they also involve you rather than simply cook, they do little "pranks" etc. Besides that the food is also good, I got the chicken fried rice and it was really good, the rice was good and even the kid overall very swell, and the sauce they gave for my chicken was so good. We also got the lobster fried rice with vegis etc. and it was also good. Good rice, good meats, good vegis, etc. Overall would suggest going if you get the chance read more

So we came here last night, or at least tried to. We were there for 20 min, a group of 6 of us, and nobody even looked at us. Nobody ever came up to take or names down or anything. There was another group there before us and they said the same about them, and they were there even longer. The girls went to the bathroom as we were waiting and apparently the girls bathroom was flooded. At one point a waitress walk by and we tried to get her attention. All she said was she knows nothing and kept going. We ended up going to Olive Garden. read more

I love that this is a hibachi grill table cooking establishment. We girls went in and were very entertained by the chef. We loved watching him cook and all of the food. Everything we had was delicious. One of our party members had a sushi roll and the rest of us had hibachi chicken and salads and soup every bit of it was good. I don't hesitate to recommend this place read more

Another excellent meal at the Hibachi grill. The place was packed on a Saturday night with every single hibachi grill occupied. Only reason for not giving a 5-star rating is because no matter if Osaka is busy or not, the initial server engagement is ALWAYS problematic, with servers not knowing what seasonal IPA is available to being VERY slow on refilling water and drinks. Quality of the food and the entertaining hibachi chefs are what bring us back. read more

Love going here on date night only one open during covid would definitely recommend sushi is great and so is the hibachi read more

This place is absolutely horrible. We were set in short order, but we then sat there for over an hour before our chef came to urs table. To be completely honest the food was good but the service is horrible! Don't get me started on the cleanliness! I have been at truck stops that had cleaner bathrooms! And when they did "clean" the mops that they were using looked like they had just used them to mop the floors of a dirt floor garage! So they wiped the nasty bathroom floor out into the lobby! This place is so gross! I won't be going back and I would never recommend anyone go here! read more

Great chef on the grill. Only thing is if you have allergies now food must be cooked in the back which is a little disappointing.

Was staying at the holiday inn nearby. Order was delivered to my room door within 15 minutes, sushi and fried rice were both great. Love that the online order menu gives lots of options for modifications. read more

Came here on a Saturday night and no one even acknowledged us. There were eight other people waiting in line ahead of us, and they said no one even talked to them and they had been waiting for over twenty minutes. When we asked a server who happened to walk by, she said she was "just a server" and couldn't help us. After waiting another ten minutes (and attempting to use the women's bathroom that was flooded with an inch of water), we decided to head to the Olive Garden across the street. Absolutely despicable service, especially since we drove over an hour to come here. read more

They really tried to make this good, but it's hit and miss. The sushi is subpar. The food is just ok. Some dishes are good but most are yuck. I don't think it is worth returning. read more

We came in for dinner, we spent 30 minutes waiting to be noticed by the server. Nothing. Nada. So we left

Great food. Good entertainment. But of a wait since they only had 3 chefs working, and ALL the tables were filed. Would recommend again. Also not badly priced at all. read more

I ordered a sushi roll, it was pretty good, I should have stopped there... I ordered (from dining room menu) Hibachi Scallops and it was not good. The salad was ok, soup was not. Veggies not cooked well, rice and scallops tasted dirty, as did the soup, like the sauce or grill needed cleaning or something... Hard to describe but do not recommend. read more

This place is one of the very worst hibachi places I've ever been to. Our food was wrong, cold, and tasted like something from the freezer section at Walmart. The ginger salad dressing tastes like crushed pineapple which was very odd and the soup tasted like dirt water. The yum yum was as if it has taco seasoning or something odd in it. All in all I highly suggest not even trying this one. read more

Osaka Japanese - Ginger dressing?? - Japanese Near Me - Moline, Illinois

We came here for the hibachi. The show was really good as is at most Japanese Steakhouses. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was also rather clean. The reason I am giving it only three stars is that I was not all that impressed with my food. Normally hibachi has a lot of flavor. I just did not feel that this one was all that flavorful. The sushi that was ordered at our table looked good. Next time I might just get that. read more

We went there 2 days ago and had the best Hibachi ever! Steak was tender and shrimp was amazing. We haven't been there in a while but still Fantastik! Our waiter Justin was excellent and very polite! Will be coming back soon for our office party! read more

Went here with my family and I told them I couldn't believe how bad the service was along with how dirty it was. When they bring your food (meat) out on the tray look at the tray, you will want to vomit. It's supposed to be a white tray and it is black around the edges. I ate maybe 5 bites of my shrimp hibachi and boxed the rest up. It wasn't 1 hour later and I was throwing up non stop. Everyone else I was with also said they weren't feeling well the whole night. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. read more

Ok, I've ordered from here a couple of times. Just lately things have gone downhill with my orders. Particularly last night when placing an order... I'll explain. What triggered me to write this review was due to their lack of customer service and their lack of trying to make things right for the "me" paying customer. And they're pretty pricey for the food they offer. Anyway, So last night I call to place an order and I also tell the lady on the phone about the previous order I had like a week ago was messed up and that I ordered the steak n scallops (medium rare and the scallops well done) and then after getting home to find my order was well well done steak and raw scallops! She was was just like "ok, ok, ok, ummm ok", not even an apology. Nice! I wonder if that could get someone sick as heck...? Idk. I would've probably maybe let this review slide if they were willing to correct my order or even comp my next order and try, try just a tad to make the next order better...Nope! I paid full price again when I ordered which was fine whatever. Hoping things were resolved I proceeded with placing my order which was Steak n scallops (steak cooked medium rare and scallops well done due to last time the scallops were raw) and I get home and BAM!!!! AGAIN burnt leather meat and raw scallops!!!! Like wth! I really hope this helps the next person but as for me and my family we will not be going back. read more

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Jessica C. said it perfectly. Customer service was TERRIBLE. The host and what looked like a manager were flirting and tickling (yes, tickling) each other. Running around, playing tag. There was another employee (cook? Dishwasher?) sitting in the waiting area the whole time laughing at them while they flirted. Our waitress would go sit down on a couch in the waiting area in between serving us. I was embarrassed for them. It was so awkward. Sushi was okay. Menu said oven-baked and it definitely wasn't oven-baked. Will. Never. Go. Back. Especially because the Davenport location, not even 10 minutes away, is so much better. read more

Not very happy with this place. I've been there twice in the four years I've lived in the quad cities and the second time was only because I forgot how disappointed I was the first time. Both times, I ordered teriyaki chicken, tempura and California rolls. The chicken was overcooked and dry each time. And it's so expensive! I spent $30 on what I mentioned and a soda. I don't expect it to be cheap but for that price, the food should be really awesome. Also, Chinese New Year dragons? read more

The food was savory and cooked to perfection. The Hibachi chef was fun and made it a grand performance. The hostess, however, talked on her cellphone in an oriental language from the greeting to the seating. We were ready to leave before we were served. Luckily, calmer heads prevailed and we got this wonderful meal. Five stars for the food, minus one star for the hostess. read more

Here in small town Midwest, this is good Sushi. No, it's not as good as you can find in Chicago or on the coast, but then WE have better steaks! Service has been consistently friendly and efficient in my experiences. Tonight I enjoyed the Sakura Roll. It was nice and spicy without overpowering the flavors. I also like the Butterfly Roll topped with tobiko. The Hibachi Grill is fun for group outings. The shtick is the same every time but it's always entertaining. read more

This is definitely the funnest hibachi place to go! Food is reasonably priced and our service is always great. Nice fun for the family

Excellent lunch specials, food and prices are great! Ginger salad dressing is the best hands down. I have always been very impressed with their food and service here. Highly recommended for a true Japanese experience! read more

What a joke! Took our family out here for lunch today...1) made reservation for which they WERE NOT READY when we got there 2) sign posted on front door reads "Serving DINNER ALL DAY on Valentine's day"!(Translation- this is going to cost you a million dollars) As long as they have been opened, Osaka has served lunch till 4pm (read- $10 or less per person). But on this holiday they decide to rip everyone off by taking advantage of the packed house?! After looking at the menu (lowest priced meal was $17) we all got up and LEFT!!! I will NEVER go to this restaurant again!!!! They are deceptive!!! read more

Osaka Moline has been great every time I've been there. You can either sit on the hibachi side or the sushi bar side, depending on your mood. I love them both. The hibachi side features a bunch of large flat-top grills where the chefs will come out and prepare your food in front of you. There's various forms of merriment, like spatulas being tossed about, pools of lighter fluid being ignited with a dashing flair, and morsels of food being haphazardly thrown into your mouth from a short distance, etc. These things can be entertaining, at least for the first couple of visits. At this point, I've been there so many times that I prefer to dispense with the fanfare and just get on with the process of shoving as much in my mouth in one sitting as possible. In cases like this, you can sit on the sushi side and order hibachi anyway. Rather than wheeling a portable 5' x 3' grill over to your table, they just cook the food in the back and bring it to you on a plate like most places would. You could also flip it and sit on the hibachi side while ordering sushi, if you crave sushi but happen to feel like watching utensils being thrown around that particular day. The food is always delicious. The hibachi meals really just amount to a huge pile of fried rice with chicken / beef, etc, but it's goooooood. It's a little pricey when you think about it like that, but I typically remedy this by not thinking about it like that. I would not consider myself a sushi connoisseur, but all the sushi I've ever had at Osaka has been very good, and seemed fresh. I've only dared to try the sashimi once (since I'm not a big fish person), and it was as good as pieces of raw fish would be expected to be to somebody who is not a big fish person. I'll keep going back, and this is always a good place to bring guests from out of town. read more

I remember years ago how much I loved going to Osaka. It was fun, lively, well staffed and had great food. However this once lovely establishment has become something of a horror story. We arrived at about 7:45pm and it was already empty, which is never a good sign. We were seated in the sushi bar and service was fast at first, and we had high hopes. After ordering appetizers of age tofu and yakitori, in which the yakitori was chewy and overcooked (the age tofu was good, though), our food came and it was a staggering disappointment. We ordered katsudon and pork katsu; the pork was dry (my friend used the ginger salad dressing to marinate it) and the rice was not starchy and impossible to pick up with chopsticks. The pork katsu, which traditionally is on a bed of cabbage, was served on iceberg lettuce. Also, not once during our visit were we supplied with more water, although our glasses were empty. As if the food wasn't the worst part of it, the staff and ambiance were even worse. The staff were playing like a group of teenagers; we heard yelling from the kitchen and saw them playfully hitting each other and goofing around. They talked (yelled, more accurately) about such things as refilling toilet paper right in front of the customers. Even louder than their yelling, they had the nerve to vacuum in the same room that people were eating in, during store hours. They gave the impression that they couldn't wait to get out of there and we were somehow stopping them (this was still at around 8:45 when they closed at 9). As for the ambiance, the decoration was alright but there was no music and the tv was playing a history channel special that included men skinning wildlife. Not exactly hunger-inducing television. As we were leaving, two gentlemen walking in asked us what we thought of the food, and we were perfectly honest in telling them that the food was bad and the service was worse. We recommended either going to the one in Davenport or Osaka Buffet. All in all, we would never return to this restaurant, at least until they shape up and find a way to improve both the food and staff. read more

5 stars for great food and the ability to hold large groups(big deal for big families). Service is good and portions are huge! Clean, fun, large fish tank in waiting area to occupy kids. read more

I agree with one of the previous reviews, I forgot how bad my first experience was that I came back for a second time. I suppose I got it confused in my head with the Davenport location as far as quality goes. Came in for a weekday lunch to get my called in order. Got chicken and steak hibachi (thought I'd really treat myself to start the week off right). I was really looking forward to the great teriyaki sauce on the chicken and the other sauces they use with the steak. My first impression was that I was asked if I had a pick-up order and then when I remembered (because I don't go to Osaka much since it costs so much) that the hibachi meal comes with a salad I wasn't really up to I asked if it was too late to get the salad removed for something else. She simply replied with "I already put it in the bag, if you don't want it I guess you can throw it away". Ugh. The steak and chicken had some seasoning but no sauce (teriyaki or likewise) at all so I was pretty disappointed. The soup that came with the meal was a real shocker too because it was nothing like I remembered it and tasted much more like a completely different broth. The rice was even prepared differently and some of the vegetables were cold (possibly from the drive back to work). I'll just stick to the Davenport location from now on. read more

This is by far the filthiest place I have ever been I used to work there and I strongly recommend nobody eat there the dishes don't get cleaned and put away properly, they have bugs crawling around clean dishes, they never ever ever change the mop heads, and the wildest part is that the chefs actually spark up cigarettes in the kitchen while cooking peoples food I personally would never eat there and I really hope none of you do either never know when you'll get a dead bug or cigarette ash picked out your food right before it's served to you read more
