Food was great! Price is very affordable and fair for the amount of food that you get. Ambiance is quiet and if you come toward lunch time they have great variety of lunch specials to choose from, service was quick as well! Plenty of parking
Our go-to spot for sushi and Sapporo -- dangerously close to home, which means "just one roll" often turns into a full feast. Tucked away on Elm St., this cozy little gem is worth finding. The staff are friendly, the service is quick, and the sushi's so fresh it practically deserves its own fan club.
We had hoped that this place would get better, is it hasn't. The Japanese restaurants in Manchester and the surrounding areas are run by Cantonese or Mandarin staff. It's not authentic Japanese, it's an interpretation of Japanese by Chinese workers and Cooks. Also, Chinese service isn't great and the waiter here isn't attentive and a bit too casual for my taste. The food itself is just acceptable, and for the price not great. The atmosphere also still is pretty weak, and the restaurant is small. It's sort of almost like a hole on the wall. On the West Coast, I've eaten at over 30 authentic Japanese restaurants, and for those of you who aren't Japanese restaurant or sushi aficionados... This food is probably fine. If you know we're good, Japanese food is, don't come here and frankly you may need to drive to Boston to get it.
First visit (based largely on Yelpers, thanks!) Unassuming place maybe seats 30 max. Half full on a Weds at 6:30, with plenty of take out happening as well. Because it was our first visit, we wanted variety and got the sushi/Combo. Pretty and delicious! With our crisp salads, it was enough for both of us. Server was attentive and pleasant. Bathroom was modern, clean, and well ventilated (I asked for my husband's input since I didn't go personally) ;-) I'm looking forward to coming again.
Went for dinner last week There's 3 booths they were all occupied There's 3 tables we sat at one. Pictures of interior did not Lighting is extremely bright, almost immediately left. Ordered a scorpion bowl, had no noticable alcohol in it besides the flaming center. For $20 you except a half decent drink? I should have known better with vodka as an ingredient in a scorpion bowl. I thought the sashimi was very good Partner had the sushi/sashimi platter with California roll. The craab tasted off he said and he threw up on way to car. I had one bite of the California roll and did not get noticably ill. One of the booths occupied was a lonely old woman not eating anything. Seemed to have previously eaten with utensils visible. What happened next was almost humorous after receiving the lackluster drink we ordered, she was trying to order an alcoholic beverage and they told her she's not allowed to drink there, but then served her. I was a bartender and worked in alcohol sales for over 20 years on and off, maybe they pulled the ole fake out drink you do to people that you don't want to serve more alcohol to, so you just fake pour... She was obviously a regular there I probably won't go back a second time. Sushimi was good though I would recommend take out, and seems like a better lunch than dinner date spot.
Cute little restaurant. The GPS took me to the side of the street, so be mindful of that. My boyfriend and I ordered two sushi rolls to share. It was pricey in my opinion, $30 for two rolls. The spider roll was DELICIOUS. WOW, loved everything about it. The Snow White roll was, ehh ok. The tuna was raw (which we knew), but it was cut so thick that it made the sushi hard to enjoy. The service was okay. Seemed to be a waiting game, but there wasn't many people in the restaurant upon ordering.
5-stars. Justified by their special ramen. Get. Their. Ramen. There's a slight difference in their two ramen options, and you have the option of getting them spicy. You know the broth is amazing when you clean the entire bowl... mine was clean and I rarely drink all that broth (the sodium rarely justifies it). I got the Osaka ramen with the chicken katsu which was also cooked perfectly. You can tell the katsu was cooked right because of how crunchy it was (even in the broth) and the chicken a the very middle of each strip was juicy (it can easily be dry with a jerky feel). That's clearly their signature, and I want to judge this store by its strength. The rest of the options are pretty standard. No weak dishes, but it's not something that you can't get anywhere else. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I'm glad whenever the staff have an opinion on their own shop's food because it means they at least enjoy it enough to try it a few times and have a preference even if they smell and see the food 24-7. Place is pretty clean. Not huge, but not crammed. I definitely felt my personal space even in the small hole-in-the-wall. Parking might be a pain without making a small hole in your wallet unless you go late. Still, I'd say it's worth it :)
Been here a few different times and all good experiences. Very small place with quick service. My husband and I have gotten the "Love Boat for 2" and it was very worth it! 10 pieces of sushi, 18 sashimi, 3 hand rolls and octopus for $56?!? If you don't mind a show with a giant boat with flashing lights do this! We've also ordered to-go as well. Packaged nicely with soy sauce in a to-go ramekin, enough wasabi and nice chop sticks. Fish is fresh and quick service. What else can you ask for? Oh- they have beer and cocktails too.
Osaka is amazing!!! We had the ramen and sushi and when I tell you we danced as we ate!!!! Service was great, the staff was so kind and the food came out pretty fast! Cute little spot!
Everything was fresh and delicious. The chef clearly cares about presentation. I got the sushi appetizer, the crunchy shrimp and mango roll, and the salmon lover roll. Service was very quick.

Great portion, fish tastes very good and they're cut thick. I also got a house sake (they have different flavors to choose from, which is hard to come by), I got a large peach sake for 10.95! What a steal. Very good place, wonderful people. read more
Stopped in to Osaka for a small early dinner and tried assorted sushi options. Has some tables / booths inside, with many coming in for takeout. Menu has various Japanese / Asian style offerings you would expect. Fair selection of fish to choose from beyond the basics. Tried salmon roll with octopus and mackerel sashimi. Mackerel was tasty and fresh, good portion. Salmon was fine, and the octopus was also okay. Pleased with what I had, nice quick snack. Thanks read more
This was by far the best food that I have gotten in a long time. I ordered through DoorDash. The order was fast, and the food was packed expertly. They kept my Dasher informed so the service was excellent. The Gyoza was excellent, and the Chicken - filet mignon Hibachi was well beyond my expectation. I did not expect the full meal- salad, Miso Soup, noodles AND rice. I ordered Yummy sauce of course- because how can you eat Hibachi without it?? Everything was outstanding. I will definitely be ordering again!! I can't speak to ambiance, but I am sure it's lovely. I can't wait for next time! Such a treat! Don't mind the picture- I didn't want to even take the lid off before I took it. So well packaged!! read more

Absolute hidden Jewel!! Do NOT judge this book by its cover!!! Is completely casual not high end look but cleanliness, care and food quality is nothing but high quality. Full disclosure...found this place through reviews on FB and online so recommended it for an occasion. I had never been before and others we were meeting, questioned(as did I ) on first look. My heart sank a bit but unjustifiably so! I decided we stick to original plan as often the best places are 'unassuming' So very glad we did!! Everyone was very happy! Food was absolutely top notch and presented beautifully! Delicious cocktails with a nice selection. Server was wonderful and gracious. Salmon sashimi did NOT have that odd almost moldy taste we've experienced at other even high end eateries. Rolls were inventive and just so beyond expectation. We will all definitely be back! read more

My wife and I decided to give this relatively new place a try for lunch. Everything about it exceeded our expectations, from the quality of the food to the cleanliness of the restaurant. I had the sushi lunch, which was obviously freshly prepared and very attractively presented. My wife had the Gyozo dumplings and the coconut shrimp. The Gyozo was probably the best we have had in a restaurant, with very fresh pork and vegetables hand rolled in tender delicately panfried dumpling wraps, and the shrimp was equally tender and fresh. Everything was very reasonably priced. Highly recommended! read more
