This place is lovely! Their ramen is really delicious. We tried their oxtail, vegetarian and tonkatsu ramen. Very flavorful and nice portion sizes. Would definitely recommend! read more

Food was delicious. Could have used a tiny hint of salt, but was good without. This is a small restaurant but the traffic comes and goes fairly quickly. So, seating is not a real issue. Flow was consistent but not disruptive. Very clean and server was very attentive. Bathroom (women) was nicely decorated and clean; felt homey. Music not loud, but not dead silent either. I invited a friend who just came back from Taiwan. So wanted something Asian, but not Chinese. This was it! My new go to place for Ramen. Egg is my soup was on point with flavor! Almost ordered an extra but got extra broth instead. About that broth! It was full bodied, but definitely not pasty. The chili oil made even more robust and carried the soup ingredients well. As you can tell, I was quite content. Going back to try some sushi and appetizers. Just wanted something warm for my sore throat and the soup hit the spot! read more

The ramen here is so good! I loved the taste of the broth and the portion was excellent. Staff is very friendly. Place is clan and organized. I like how the pork was easy to eat, often with ramen the meat is fatty . This was not the case , the meat was perfect and I ate the whole thing ! Parking is ample. Place is in a nice shopping center at the edge of Greenbrier area. Cool place ! read more

We arrived about 35-40 minutes before the restaurant's posted closing time, so we expected there would still be plenty of time to order dinner. Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, we felt unwelcome. Our waitress, Cathy, already seemed visibly annoyed while helping another table. Shortly after we were seated, she walked over and turned off the "Open" sign even though the restaurant was still supposed to be open for another 35-40 minutes. When I asked if we could have about five minutes to quickly look over the menu, Cathy told us the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes, which made us feel rushed into ordering. We completely understand that staff may want to finish up at closing time, but customers arriving during posted business hours should still feel welcomed. We ended up leaving without ordering because we felt so rushed and uncomfortable. That was especially disappointing because the restaurant looked great, and based on the menu and reviews, the food seemed like it would have been excellent. We were really looking forward to trying it, but the service experience made us decide to leave instead. Hopefully, management addresses this so future guests feel welcome throughout the restaurant's posted business hours. read more

This is the WORST spot for ramen absolute disgrace to ramen. Just disgusting. I got the katsu curry and it was soggy and the egg or whatever was on it was brown and wet. The curry rice was like warmed up in the microwave? Absolutely diabolical. Immediately asked for something else so I ordered the chicken soup and it was just right bean sprouts absolutely disgusting. Broth was just nasty and just all around terrible food. Also asked to try everyone else's soup and it was just sickening lol especially the oxtail and the rice even wasn't fresh. Server was great poor thing but food was so bad you could have got the shit in the box at the store and heated it up and it would be better. everyone seemed to have just tolerated the food. Should really shut this joint down. Fckin gross. Not even being extra. Just being real. read more

Great freshly prepared lunch with Great service. I chose to take a zoom call here. I sat at a quiet 2 top table at the window to people watch since the zooms are always..meahhh. Simple salad with sesame ginger dressing to start, followed by Salmon rolls and tuna rolls. Service was quick and courtesy. My sushi was made fresh with great bites of raw fish. This is my go-to when I'm having an extended day at work. read more

My daughter and I came to get a quick bite to eat after holiday shopping and this place was amazing. The food was good. The waitress was amazing and doing her best. The entire restaurant filled up at once and she handled everyone gracefully. The only complaint I had was that every time the door opened the entire room filled with icy cold wine but that isn't the restaurants fault. Mother Nature. Overall an amazing experience and will return again when in the area. read more

Stopped at Osaka Ramen & Sushi in Chesapeake VA for lunch on a Friday afternoon.  It was a tad hard to find with GPS Google maps directions.  Once I found it, yay.  It is on the street side of the parking lot for Food Lion. I have to say, they must be doing something right here because when I arrived, the place was full.  6 tables and a sushi bar with 10 seats and half the bar was full as well.  I sat at the bar. They have beer and Sake options, which I thought was a plus.  The place is quite intimate, and on this occasion, the air was minimal; just enough to keep the sweat off you, but moist enough to not get cool.  On this day, it was about 84 hot and humid. There was one server, who bless her soul, was completely slammed.  She was running around like she had 6 heads and 8 arms.  She needs a raise because she handled the slam and the wait for patrons very well. If you are expecting a show at the sushi bar, this may not be the place.  The sushi chef was quiet.  He was concentrating on getting the sushi out, and it was just him, so he had to be on his A game.  The service here was quite good, despite the slam. I ordered a Kirin beer which came with a cold glass which was definitely needed. Ordered the Sushi lunch special, 3 rolls for about $16, and it was well worth it.  The sushi was good, not great, but reasonably priced and quite filling.  I could find my way back here. They had chili oil, which I mixed with the soy sauce and Wasabi for my own special dip.  It was quite delicious.  I really want to give 5 stars, but the sushi is just average, and the service was exceptional considering the circumstances.  Still, 4 stars is quite appropriate. read more

I've been to the Osaka by OSU and the one on General Booth Blvd in VB. This Chesapeake location is the smallest and maybe that's why it's the best. The waitress was attentive and friendly. We had ramen and sushi, both were excellent! This is our new preferred location. read more

The food was great as the tonkotsu ramen was savory with the fatty pork, noodles sucked all the juice, the eggs boiled and tasted amazing. As well as the volcano roll with the deep fried crust with the fist and crab combined with the kewpie mayo and eel sauce made it crunchy and tasty. The best part was the service as the waiter who is a little bit older than the other one was amazing she joked and kept me taking even while waiting for a ride and provided me with a Japanese soda free on the house! This restaurant embodies great community togetherness and overall kindness and hospitality. read more

This place is close to my job so I'll try to come here on my lunch breaks. They have great lunch deals. I believe most of it was under $15. Their spicy ramen bowl is sooooo good. I've probably ordered it about 3-4x. If you like spicy and lots of flavor. I definitely recommend it. I can't remember the exact name, sry! The staff is always nice when I've visited. The place is always clean when as well. Nice place to grab a quick lunch with friends or whoever. read more

After passing the location for years, my fiance and I ventured into Osaka to try their ramen. The staff is extremely friendly and the service was top-notch. I tried the O-katsu (chicken katsu) ramen, while my fiance had the spicy tonkatsu ramen. Both were very tasty. One of my favorite parts of the dish was the soy-marinated egg. It wasn't as soft-boiled as most eggs I've had in ramen, but the flavor was unique and a surprising highlight of my meal. My least favorite part of the dish was the pork belly, which I am not a fan of in general. My fiance loved it and said it was very good though. I also noticed they serve Aqua S ice cream, but we were WAY too full after our meal. The food was so good that we stopped by the next day! We are happy to have found a good ramen spot in Chesapeake and I can't wait to try their sushi next. read more

I've ordered from Osaka a lot and this is really the first time I have been disappointed. I really wanted soup because I wasn't feeling well and my container of broth was only 1/4 full. There is barely enough broth to make it a soup. The flavor was also lacking tonight and there was hardly any veggies in my veggie ramen. They also forgot my extra egg :( read more

Took the kids out for some much wanted Sushi and our first choice wasn't open so we tried Osaka Ramen and Sushi. A little disappointed and won't return. Miso soup was ok and Osaka Roll $12.95 was tasty. My Volcano speciality roll $9.95 was the size of my finger in width and missing have the filling. Water cup tasted like soap and the smell of a chemical cleaner was extremely strong from our table. Son's Chicken Paitan Ramen broth had a weird taste, the teriyaki chicken was tasty. Customer service was great. read more

Okay so I have a new love for Ramen and I want to thank Osaka for that! Decided to try them out as I was looking for a quick bite for lunch one day. The server recommend the oxtail ramen to me and she did not steer me in the wrong direction. It was so goooood! I did order it spicy so I know that gave it extra flavor, but I know it still would have hit the spot, If I didn't. Also, I love the intimacy of the restaurant. It's a place where you can definitely become a regular! I can't wait to come back and try their other ramen meals. read more

The ramen was super bland, the meat was burnt and left a horrible aftertaste in my mouth. Our server was an older white lady that was absolutely insufferable. She had an AirPod in talking to one of her friends being so loud and obnoxious, also being rude to the younger girl that was working there. read more

I dare you to try and find a better ramen shop in all seven cities that are better than this one, or their other locations. The service was great, you seat yourself if seating is available. The waitresses brings the food and drinks in the right order. Never had an empty cup. All the food was HOT, all the food was fresh! You can taste and smell the quality compared to different ramen shops. Quality ingredients and quality food, no complaints about anything ordered. read more

Have been a customer since they opened and the ramen and sushi are excellent. The staff is friendly. It is a very clean establishment.

I ordered dinner on yelp from Osaka using their online delivery at 5 o'clock today at 5:45 my food had still not arrived, and I discovered that it was delivered by GrubHub and they said they left it at the front door, , but I am in a rehab facility. They checked all doors and there was no delivery to be found. I called the restaurant back and they said it's not their problem and they could not refund me because it belonged to GrubHub but I ordered from Osaka as far as I was concerned so I called GrubHub and they found that it had been delivered to the wrong address and they showed a picture of the food sitting at the wrong address. This has left me without dinner and I'm very upset and I will never ever order from Osaka again there are food is very good, but their service is very lousy. read more

We ordered takeout in-person and the food was ready to go in less than 10 minutes. The tonkotsu ramen with extra chashu was delectable as always. We normally order from the restaurant closer to Dam Neck but this location was just as good! I always love ordering their ramen because the chashu literally melts in your mouth and the noodles are nice and chewy Hakata-style. The soup is light but still has good depth and great mouthfeel. I am looking forward to visiting again when I return to the area for vacation. read more

I was craving some hot soupy noodles today after the rain, so decided to check out Osaka Ramen, hoping it would satisfy my craving. I have only been here one other time, 5 years ago, so I couldn't really remember what it tasted like. We walked in and were greeted by the friendly staff, and were told to sit wherever we preferred. Their menus are at the table already. Our server came over shortly and took our orders. I got the Osaka meat lover ramen and the tonkotsu ramen. Osaka meat lover ramen: $14.95 This broth was made with pork and chicken. It came with yellow noodles, chashu pork, ground pork, karaage, bean sprout, green onion, and soft boiled egg. The broth looked good, but it did not taste that rich. I asked if they had togarashi, but they didn't, so I added the spicy oil from our table to add flavor to it. I think adding togarashi to each table would be nice. I personally feel like my ramen tastes better with togarashi over spicy chili oil. The egg was boiled very nicely though, and the pork chashu was solid, with the perfect flavor and meaty and fatty interior. Their ground pork, however, was quite different than what I am used to. It was flavorless and looks like it had no seasonings on it. Lastly, their karaage topping was good, but a little bit on the drier side. Tonkotsu ramen: $13.95 Tonkotsu is the classic pork broth ramen. Theirs came with pork chashu, woodear, green onion, bamboo, and soft boiled egg. This broth was also just okay, and I've had better pork broths at other spots in the area. It was made with white straight noodles and again, the chashu tasted amazing. I really wish it tasted less bland though. One thing I noticed was that these ramens did not come with nori, which I am normally used to getting. I came here for a date and the atmosphere is casual and decorated nicely. Service was 5/5 and our server checked on us every once in a while without being overly attentive. I was not expecting that much, because I knew it wouldn't be a super authentic spot. However, for $14-15 per bowl, I was hoping it would satisfy my cravings. I don't know if I would come back. read more

Worst ramen Ive ever had. The taste is so bland and it made me feel sick after eating it.

Excellent little ramen bar! The service is bar none, the best I have been given in a quick stop like this. The quality ramen, sushi and tonkatsu is on par with mainland Japan quality. Can't find a better place that compares in the 757. read more

Was really excited to try this place based on reviews, and unfortunately was disappointed. Coming in, I was told to seat wherever I wanted, and no wait was nice. They did have a lot of to-go orders going out. We got the Japanese fried chicken app, which was okay, but didn't have enough dipping sauce and was very dry. It did have a nice crisp. I got the Tokyo ramen and was very underwhelmed. The reason I get ramen is because it is so flavorful, and this was not- broth lacked flavor and was very watery, and the chicken was dry and flavorless. My husband got a sushi roll with crab, eel and avocado, which was decent. Overall, if we go back, I'll probably skip the ramen and just get sushi... for a $70 meal, I'll probably try somewhere else read more

I'm a fan of Osaka! This local Korean-owned ramen eatery offers various appetizers (ie, gyoza, edamame, harumaki, etc.), soups & salads (ie, cucumber salad and salmon cocktail), sushi/sashimi/rolls, rice dishes (such as katsu bowls), various ramen, and desserts. We came here for an early dinner, and we ordered: +a Samurai roll - a roll filled with spicy salmon, spicy crab, and cucumbers, with salmon on top; this was fresh, had a good rice-to-sushi ratio, and was yummy! +an Ox Tail Ramen - chicken broth that is miso - and soy-based; oxtail, green onions, menmo, fishcake, and a soft-boiled egg; added an extra ox tail; the ox tail was fall-off-the-bone tender; broth was okay +Spicy Umami Miso Ramen - chicken broth that is miso-based; ground pork (opted out of), had green onions, bean sprouts, bok choy, garlic oil, and a choice of a hard-boiled egg or an egg yolk (I opted for the soft-boiled egg); better in taste than the Ox Tail Ramen, this could have been a bit more spicier +Curry Rice - chicken katsu over rice with Japanese curry; served with miso soup; this was our favorite! The chicken katsu was fried perfectly, with its crisp panko exterior and the chicken was super juicy inside; the Japanese curry was thick and so flavorful! Service was super kind, friendly, and welcoming! This was a great local place serving up some good comfort food. I'd love to try out their other rice dishes and the rest of their maki offerings! Plenty of parking in the plaza lot. +tasty maki rolls! +yummy Curry Rice! +friendly & kind staff! +plenty of parking in plaza lot read more

This location came highly recommended, but I was disappointed that the gyoza that was served, it was served a bit cold on the outside and inside. The ramen was spot-on for each bowl. Being very familiar with Japanese flavors in Okinawa and Tokyo, locally I think this is ranked pretty high in comparison. Tasting both white and yellow noodles or noods, next time I think I'll taste another ramen, but with white noods and extra meat. The flavor on the grilled pork was some of the absolute best I've tasted in a ramen bowl. The shrimp was good, but the sauce made it better. Yakitori (grilled chicken) was delicious as well with awesome Japanese/Asian flavors. Our waitress was awesome, served our food as soon as it was done. Refills were done before we finished a cup. New orders were being served just as fast as we gave them. Couldn't ask for better service. The restaurant as a whole is a nice spot and location, however it's a bit small, probably not one for a big party (10 or more). read more

Service was great, nice ambiance, and the food was good too. I recommend the spicy umami miso ramen.

I was in the area and craving ramen! I have tried the Osaka Ramen & Sushi on Monarch Way near ODU and didn't know they had another location. I came in with my boyfriend on Monday at around 6pm. Our server was named Autumn and she was polite, quick, and gave us excellent service. We started off with the Pokey Nachos. The nachos came out fast and we had fresh flavors from the ahi tuna, avocados and sesame oil seasonings. The only set back were the actual chips. I am used to pokey nachos using deep fried wonton chips, but these were regular thick tortilla chips that threw the flavors off. For the ramen, we ordered the Osaka Meat Lovers And Tonkatsu Ramen bowls. Both were flavorful and I liked how the pork chasu was seared perfectly to melt in your mouth. The eggs were perfectly soft boiled and the ratio of broth, noodles, and toppings were portioned well for each bowl. Definitely my go to ramen restaurant when I have my ramen cravings! read more

We've heard good things about Osaka Ramen and Sushi so we decided to try it when we are craving for ramen. The drive wasn't too far from us since it is just in the Battlefield area. The place has a very good ambiance. It is packed, but no wait time, for a Monday night so we took it as a good sign that this restaurant will give us good experience. We ordered Takoyaki for our appetizer and Volcano Roll, Seafood Ramen and Meat Lover ramen for our entree. I was surprised on how much rolls are in the volcano roll. For less than $6, we think it is a good deal. The Seafood Ramen was very unusual because the seafood is served fried, like a tempura. It was very rich an delicious. My SO enjoyed his Meat Lover ramen as well. Even though the place is packed, the service was really good. Our server was very friendly and helpful. She was helping every single table in the restaurant, but she still had a smile on her face. We have a new favorite ramen place. We had a very good experience and I can't wait to come back and try this place again. read more

Nice place to go grab some sushi. My fried and I each had some rolls and miso and it were very good. The service was fast and friendly as well. We were just there for some lunch and didn't have much time to try more than that, but I bet it's all good. Swing by and give it a try. read more

My babe and I love Ramen... we tried it once and we are hooked for the long haul! I had eaten Ramen earlier in the day with my mom and certainly didn't mind having it for dinner when my babe suggested it for dinner. Thanks to the search feature on Yelp, I did a quick search to see what Ramen places were near by. We were near the high rise bridge headed towards Greenbrier and the search pulled up this spot... I read a few reviews, but immediately noticed the high rating... no need to look further, I decided we were dining here. This past Saturday night we arrived about 7pm and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. Well the restaurant is petite and the low lighting sets an intimate tone... I loved it!! We were immediately greeted once we stepped in... oh, parking wasn't an issue at all. We actually pulled into a space directly in front of the restaurant's door. There was a table of two dining when we sat down... the waitress was friendly and pleasant from her greeting to her 'have a good night' - just a fun time. We placed our order and within 10 mins or less we were ready to dine. The presentation, the smell, the temperature, everything was impeccable! I am super ready to return again and again. Check out this place if you are in the area, I highly believe you will be pleasantly surprised at this hidden gem in Chesapeake. And I say hidden, because I have never noticed this place while traveling up and down Battlefield... but I see now :) Have fun and enjoy life :) read more

Osaka gets a 5 star review for service and value, but loses a point for the ramen noodles--they're a little too much like spaghetti for my liking. The spicy tongkatsu broth and egg are both spot-on, though! Unfortunately, will not be ordering Osaka for delivery any more, though, as the combination of delivery fee, service charge, and tip ends up costing almost half the amount as the food itself. While I don't blame Osaka for this, I'm not going to support it either and will have to get my Osaka-fix in person going forward. read more

We came here on a cold nite ready for a hot bowl of ramen. The inside was quite small with only a few tables. It was a weekday so we were able to snag a big table for 6 of us. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We ordered our food and it all cable out quickly. I ordered the tongkotsu ramen and noticed the noodles was skinnier than what I'm used to, I'm sure it based on what kind of base you order. It was still good. There was able slices of pork and a soft boiled egg which was cooked perfectly. The flavor of the broth was delicious. I would want to go back to try the other ramen flavors as well. I just wish the ramen came with more toppings. I know other spots may add corn or bamboo shoots etc. you probably able to but for an added costs. We had also met our friends for a late birthday dinner and when we asked for our check our server asked me if i wanted Mochi ice cream since it was my birthday. At first I was confused cause no one told her it was my birthday but she saw I had gotten a gift and over heard it was my birthday. I thought that was sweet of them. Next time we will have to try the sushi and other ramen flavors. read more
