If you make a reservation know that it is for the live teppenyaki area, I made a rsvp and waited for about 10 mns after checking in to which then I spoke with the hostess and she mentioned that for the regular tables it's just walk in, not rsvp. I didn't remember seeing that on the site. Overall it was very busy for a Wednesday evening but our waitress was amazing! I believe her name was Emmy, she was very welcoming and took our orders right away as well as checked in on us frequently. Food was fantastic! The lychee sake was very smooth one of my new faves! Mango tango roll is very good and has that hint of sweetness but not too overpowering. read more

Had a reservation for 15 on a Saturday - we opted for a 3:30pm time to beat the rush. Pretty standard experience at hibachi - you're paying for the show. My typical order is steak + shrimp, and double yum yum sauce. If it's someone's birthday, they have a lion's head you can wear, and they bring out a little dessert for everyone. Was packed when we left at 5pm, with every seat filled. read more

Fun teppanyaki experience and the portion here is huge. Got to try two people combo, came with 4 proteins, soup, salad and fried rice. It was yummy as what could go wrong with anything covered in butter. Also it's entertaining and fun. Though it was pretty quick, start to finish, it was like 30 minutes-ish, and we ordered other dishes and that was slow, it came out when we're almost done with our food. Anyways fun food experience! read more

Decided to randomly do take out. It was a pleasant experience. And the food was good. The food was ready on time and I even got an email letting me know it's ready Important to grab right away because sitting in the sauce/juices can make things soggy like the vegetables (if that bothers you) Arriving on a Sunday around 6pm, it was pretty crowded for dine in. Parking lot was pretty full but easy to find and get other parking. I was fretted right away and kindly. Everything was packed carefully. I will definitely give another try and especially dine in read more

This is our second time trying this establishment. The first time it was okay, worth giving them a second chance. This time there was nothing good about either our meal or the service which shocked me. We ordered the shrimp entree and we ordered the filet mignon entree and we shared it amongst ourself. The shrimp were cooked nicely but they did not cut them to make them easier to eat. We ordered the filet medium rare. It came well done and cut in tiny pieces. The pieces were cut as if we were going to feed it to a baby. We noticed the chef was having a terrific time with the other group of people. It just made us disgusted. I do know that I was really disappointed. read more

I went in yesterday on my Birthday 9/17 my kids wanted to treat me to dinner, they both worked late they closed at 10pm we got there at 9:20 were able able to walk in for them to turn us away telling us they were closed. Makes no sense if you were still open until 10pm turning customers away is very bad customer service! I used to love eating here and now will never go back! read more

We didn't have a reservation when we arrived but we got seated right away. We chose teppanyaki therefore we got seated with another group. The server was really busy but came over and took our apps and drink orders. Drinks were dropped off right away and our cook came over right after. We ordered: 1 Creamy Jalapeño Jalapeño, spicy tuna, cream cheese deep fried and top with masago. Served with spicy mayo and sweet soy sauce 1 Osaka Dinner For Two Chicken, Shrimp, Filet Mignon, Scallop, 1 Tappan Steak & Shrimp Both entrees came with mushroom soup, house salad, vegetables, and fried rice. Our appetizer was never brought out even though the other people at our table got theirs. The server then never came back to our table. Our drinks sat empty during the duration of our show / meal and she finally came over for refills after we were done. The food was good and we had plenty to leftovers. read more

We went for lunch and didn't realize that you don't get the teppanyaki experience for lunch. I still ordered chicken and shrimp and I was super disappointed. The chicken was tasteless and had the texture of boiled chicken. The shrimp was okay but not much seasoning. None of the food had any char on it. My husband ordered sushi and the rolls were huge. read more

We came here for my mother in law's birthday. With reservations, we still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated so it did take awhile. However, our server was attentive and provided great service. I got the sashimi plate and it was fresh and tasty. The rest of the table got the teppanyaki and everyone enjoyed their food. My kids loved their lemonade "shot" from the chef. It's a fun ambiance and everyone seemed to be celebrating their birthday's! read more

Always great service, good food, and some things you can't find anywhere else in the east valley. Highly recomended.

Service is great food was mediocre in terms of quality and cooking. Egg fried rice had too much salt too enjoy, same with soup. The fillet was overcooked and chewy but the chicken was good. Portions were a bit small. read more

We had a reservation for 7:00 PM and waited until 7:20 without being seated. During that time, we watched other people get seated before us, and there still appeared to be no tables opening up for us. After waiting 20 minutes past our reservation time with no clear indication of when we would be seated, we ended up canceling our reservation and leaving. Very disappointing experience, especially considering we had made a reservation ahead of time. read more

This is the newer Osaka location. It has a smaller dining area side for the sushi part of the restaurant compared to the Teppanyaki grill. This is a smaller location than the original location out in Mesa. They do have great deals on sushi and happy hour and it is one of my favorites in town For a Sunday Happy hour sushi spot. I love their crunchy sweet potato roll as well as the rock shrimp and the crazy world that you can get unhappy hour. Great deals on drinks and sushi always love coming here for a quick treat. This is a frequent spot for birthday celebrations and you can often hear them singing their classic birthday song on the Teppanyaki girls side. People always appear to be having so much fun and it really brings the family vibe and energy to life. read more

We used to love coming here since it opened. Not sure what happened. The last time we were here was in July of 2025, the selections plentiful. Tonight might be the last time we dine here. Food is just not the same. Service was ok, the girl at the front was on the phone when we arrived and she was not too pleasant. Understandably fine as she was on the phone. We were seated immediately and service was ok. Nothing about our experience and food was notable. read more

Not a bad place to go. It was a date night without the wife. I thought it was funny when the server couldn't get the plates right as who got what appetizers when they came out. Just a small training issue. Don't get me wrong the servers were great. The one thing I didn't like is when the cooking was done the servers appeared to be rushing us out of there to turn the table. The food just was ok, nothing stood out then any other hibachi. read more

It was a fun experience. The chef was funny and the server was friendly and professional. The steak, chicken and shrimp and sushi were very good. It was my friend's birthday and they gave her a Tiramisu cake with a sparkler. They also banged the drum and everybody in the restaurant sang "Happy Birthday"! Also, children under 55" are eligible for child prices. read more

We recently visited Osaka Japanese Steakhouse while our In laws were in town. We had a group of 7, 6 adults and 1 kiddo, and as most hibachi restaurants are, great for a group. They were able to get us in for a last minute reservation, and it was quite busy! We were seated promptly and service came out promptly for beverages and any menu questions. I did find their prices to be quite reasonable, especially for the portions. The space itself was traditional, very load with the amount of tables and be prepared for A LOT of happy birthday singing. It's definitely not a spot I'd recommend for intimate settings or place to talk. With the style of the tables and noise volume, you can really only expect to hear your immediate neighbors. In addition, it's quite warm, due to the large griddles all lovers the rooms, neither of these things are unexpected when visiting this type of restaurant, but definitely something to keep in mind! My husband and I shared the filet & scallop teppanyaki and fat boy sushi roll, along with a cucumber salad. They have a $9 split charge for the teppanyaki , but bring out additional portions of the soup, salad, shrimp and rice, so honestly very reasonable. They offer a huge menu with lots of options. Our food was very tasty, portions great. We were both full and still had leftovers. One thing we didn't care for was the cucumber salad. It could be on us for not specifying, but we anticipated it being the thinly sliced pickled cucumber salad, but was in fact very thick, fresh cucumbers with a dressing. It wasn't bad, just not what we were hoping or quite wanting. Also, SO MUCH BUTTER. I do love butter, but it was crazy the amount used in the full meal. Overall, everything was good, service a little slow on bussing plates, and we did have one weird interaction with our grill chef. He was really great, but we inquired if we were supposed to tip separate between service and chef ( as he had a tip jar) or if we could leave it on the final bill. He said we were supposed to tip separate and we asked if we could pass it off to our server after we went and got some cash, he said don't worry about it and left us. We followed up with our server and he said they're both tipped on the final bill. It was just a tad odd of an interaction and wanted to make sure both of them were taken care of, but was left kind of confused. . It was good and hit the mark for any hibachi cravings, but simply due to the noisy ambiance and constant birthday singing, may not be somewhere I would run back to. read more

To go food is probably 4.5, but in restaurant dining I would say a five out of five! Customer service is always good foods always good ambience is always good and as much as they are always busy things always flow and the wait time is minimum! Definitely highly recommend this over Benihana's, which to me is trash.. again everyone has their personal preferences, but I definitely would recommend this night and day if I had to pay a premium or I got this for free it would always be Osaka! read more

Osaka is consistently outstanding. Best sushi ever. We haven't had as good in CA or Asia. We've been here at least 50 times and both food and service are consistently great but tonight was exceptional. Kam was our server. Ask for him. Prompt, courteous, friendly and efficient. Osaka please keep Kam and give him a raise. read more

A unique downstairs bar with good drinks. Food choices are very limited and not great but the ambiance is very good.

Went to celebrate a birthday and made a reservation for 9 in advance so we didn't have to wait. The chef was funny and entertaining and our server Jacob was great. The food is really good and the portions are huge so I feel like it justifies the price. I shared the Osaka combo with my husband and they charge a $9 share fee so you get the additional soup, salad, shrimp and rice which is more than reasonable. The birthday song is hilarious and is accompanied by a candle flame with tiramisu pieces, enough for the table. They let us bring a cake in too. We had a great experience! read more

This was our second time dining here, and unfortunately it confirmed that we won't be coming back. The first visit left a bad impression because we felt rushed the entire time--like the staff was more focused on turning the table than letting us enjoy our meal. We decided to give it another shot, hoping it was just an off night. It wasn't. We made a 7:00 PM reservation and arrived right on time with our family. After checking in, the host told us we'd be seated "momentarily." Fifteen minutes later, we were asked to sit at a different table--not the teppanyaki table we had reserved--and told to wait there until ours was ready. Then we waited another 20 minutes. Eventually, someone came over while my wife and I were trying to keep our hungry kids entertained and said they were running behind, offering a free soda. We appreciated the gesture and got lemonade for the kids--but the wait continued. After another 15 minutes with no real update, we decided to leave and eat somewhere else. Ironically, about 15 minutes after we left, we got a call saying our table was ready and asking if we'd come back. The person on the phone said they were busy--but didn't apologize. Instead, they just offered a customer service number, which felt dismissive given the situation. We ended up going to Smoking Tiger Korean BBQ, which was fantastic and a night-and-day difference in service and overall experience. The frustrating part is that the food here is actually good--but it's a bit overpriced, and the service and management completely undermine it. Waiting nearly an hour with a reservation is unacceptable, and being rushed during a meal isn't much better. If they can't honor reservations properly, they shouldn't be taking them. Sadly, this experience made it clear we won't be giving this place another chance. read more

I'm a fairly frequent visitor to Osaka, and despite an average review I know I'll definitely be back in the future. Osaka is definitely a go-to spot to celebrate birthdays and other special events. You can expect to hear their birthday song combined with their gong at least 10 times during your dinner --it's just part of the experience. The food tends to vary slightly depending on the chef but the routine is always the same. As far as teppanyaki goes it's a pretty basic show. Our chef from the other night (pictured) was one of the best I've had, and he gave our birthday girl lots of special attention which was nice. The food is decent and about what you'd expect, although a couple times I have gone and our food was aggressively salted. The reservation process is relatively painful. You can make a reservation but still wait up to 45 minutes to an hour past your reservation time --it just depends on when the tables are available. They really pack you into their room and focus on high turnover. Overall there's not many teppanyaki/hibachi spots in the valley and it's still a good time. It's always a busy spot no matter which day of the week, so make sure to reserve ahead for a group! read more

Food taste was delicious but our server wasn't very attentive. we had to stop him to ask for items. He also had to be reminded about the birthdays at our station. Food was cooked to perfection, but with the teppanyaki entrees we only got 1 shrimp each, NOT 2 as stated on menu. We have had much funny, interactive chefs on previous visits. This chef wasn't entertaining as some of the others. ! read more

Chef came out quick and the show was done lol never been to any teppanyaki place in and out this quick lol I'm going to have to go back and try and experience it again when it's not as busy . We ordered filet and chicken, Veggie tempura, potstickers and sushi (forgot which one). But overall food was good and we will be back again. read more
