    Came here on a Sunday night around 6:30. It was pretty crowded but no wait. The rolls with salmon were really good and fresh. The tempura rolls were good too but not as fresh. Tempura was a little dried out. Service is great. Servers are fast and friendly, always asking if we needed anything. There's nice outdoor seating here. Good for summer. Menu is large with sushi and other options.

    Steak

    Went with family we decided to do the hibachi dinners. I had the squid hibachi, it was not squid but some type of processed something. Unacceptable, thought I was getting real squid. My wife got the the steak it was hard to eat for tasted like it was a bottom roast, disappointing we really like Osaka.

    I do not know why Osaka only has 3.4 stars on yelp! This is one of my go-to restaurants. They have great lunch specials, and their sushi and sashimi is always fresh. Their hibachi is also great. Service is always fast and professional, and they have even given my family members free dessert on their birthday in the past. Definitely recommend!

    Osaka is a Noho staple! They're a great place to come in the summer because they have a huge second floor outdoor dining space. In the winter, they close part of it off to heat for extra seats. It can get busy on the weekends, so it doesn't hurt to make a reservation, especially if you want to do hibachi. They have a huge menu with both hibachi and sushi, and they have plenty of veggie options to choose from! They have a full bar and their cocktails are pretty good. We split tempura veggies as an appetizer. I love anything tempura! I ended up trying one roll with fish and one veggie roll with tofu skin. I loooove tofu skin and thought it added a great texture to the roll. The other roll I got was a specialty roll that had peanut sauce in it, which I loved! I will definitely be coming back here!

    I visited my friend in Northampton for the weekend and we stopped by Osaka for dinner on a Friday night. My friend warned me that the food scene in town just isn't especially great compared to Boston. Both of us ordered the udon (one chicken, one veggie). The portion was substantial, but I didn't find the noodles to be anything particularly interesting and the chicken was pretty dry. Not sure how some of their other menu items taste, but I wasn't blown away. No complaints in terms of service and the restaurant itself was fairly nice. We sat outdoors on this deck sort of area, which was a cool touch. Don't think I'd bother to return, unless I was trying the hibachi.

    Have been to Osaka several times over the years and just recently had a very pleasant, quick hibachi dinner at the restaurant. My husband and I made a reservation (but did not need it as we were dining early and the rush had not yet started). We were quickly seated at the hibachi table and the fun began. Osaka's sushi is great, but we opted for two hibachi meals only. Smart idea because we had a hard enough time getting halfway through our plates the portions are so large. My husband ordered the filet and scallops and WOAH! I do not eat meat, but a bite of the filet almost changed my mind. The scallops, hibachi fried in butter and soy sauce, were the best cooked scallops that I've ever had. My shrimp and vegetables were top tier as well. Service is quick and the grill masters are playful, dexterous, and ultra efficient. We were able to order, eat, and leave within 35 minutes. The space hasn't changed much over the years. It is set high on Old South Street, so some steps are required to make it into the restaurant.

    I eat at Osaka periodically. Today I got the dragon roll and salmon roll, but I also have had the tempura udon and lunch specials in the past, and those are good, too. One thing about Osaka is that they are really fast. This time, I ordered at 4:50 and the food was ready in ten minutes.

    Sushi was so fresh drinks were good. Service was OK. Been going here for years will definitely return.

    We went on a very busy Friday night, it was a bit too loud for my liking. But that's my only complaint. I cannot say enough about the spicy Toro tuna roll. It was absolutely amazing and I had to order an additional one. Another great thing is that the service was amazing and they kept my water cup refilled the entire time I was there. The edamame was also delicious! Can't wait to go back.

    Came here for the hibatchi! We tested out the chicken, steak, rice and noodles :) hibatchi is more expensive but extremely tasty and portions are average to large. Steak bites were large and juicy. The salad was fresh and I loved the tangy dressing! Fire show was extra fun ... (videos attached). Also note but there is a cool seating area right when you walk in! (Photo included) And then they brought mochi for a birthday dessert! Note sure what flavors the mochi were -- colors were yellow and white ... but the chocolate sauce overpowered!

    Beautiful location. Sit on the outside deck in nice weather and enjoy the views and people watching. Food is excellent. Service is a 10. Highly recommended.

We got there around 1:40 p.m. and they closed at 2, so my friend was a little worried, but we were still welcomed and the staff was very friendly. It's a small place, but I actually liked that it felt cozy. We ordered 12 oysters, two orders of gumbo, a kale Caesar salad, the catfish special to split, and a bourbon-based drink. The oysters were $2 each, which I thought was a pretty good deal. The gumbo was really, really good. It came out a little lukewarm, but the flavor was absolutely there 10/10. The oysters were fresh and also 10/10. The bourbon drink was another standout. The presentation was beautiful, the little flower was such a nice touch, and it tasted just as good as it looked. The kale Caesar was where things dipped a little. It was pretty dry, so we asked for extra dressing, but the dressing didn't really add much flavor. When our waitress checked in, we were honest and said it just wasn't our favorite. I hate sending food back or complaining. I'll usually just stop eating it but she was so kind and apologetic. What really stood out was how they handled it. They told us they were taking the salad off the bill, which they absolutely did not have to do. We had planned to just take the one we had already eaten from home and fix it ourselves, but one of the staff members made us a completely new salad to go. She even massaged the kale so it was actually tender and enjoyable. That was such a thoughtful touch. The catfish was a hit for my friend. It wasn't my favorite, but I still ate it. Overall, I would definitely come back. Next time I'd probably keep it simple; oysters, gumbo, and a drink and I'd be happy. The service was phenomenal, and honestly, service really makes a place. Feeling welcomed and comfortable matters, and this place absolutely gave that.
