    I have to say "I AM IMPRESSED WITH THIS SUSHI RESTAURANT". The price didn't break the bank and the quality of food we ordered was exceptional. Fresh made sushi, the miso soup was soothing and the way it should be. Some restaurant offer the miso soup that's over salted. Professional and courteous customer service. We will definitely coming back when the sushi crave hits. Quality of food: A+++ Quality of service: A++ Price: Reasonable.

    We were planning on going to a sushi place down the road, but for some reason it was closed. The universe was telling us to go somewhere else and I am so happy we did! It's a cute place with plenty of seating! Amazing rolls. Amazing service. Stayed past close on accident (so sorry!!) & they were still so sweet and understanding. Crunchy munchy - huge with yummy fried onions and big pieces of scallops Monster roll Red dragon Ninja roll but with crab salad instead of crab sticks. We loved the whole experience. We even stayed late a bit past their hours cause we weren't paying attention and then staff was sooo sweet. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. Give this place a try!

    Osaka Sushi - Modesto, CA I've found my new go-to sushi spot in Modesto! Osaka Sushi completely blew me away -- especially with the Texas Roll. If you're into bold flavor, this roll is it. Perfectly crispy, a little spicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. I honestly could have ordered two just for myself! The spicy garlic edamame deserves its own round of applause. It's the perfect appetizer -- tossed in a savory garlic sauce with just enough kick to wake up your taste buds. We were fighting over the last pods at the table! I also ordered the veggie tempura, and it was super light and crispy -- not overly greasy like at some places. You could tell the veggies were fresh, and the tempura batter was perfectly golden.

    I used to have their CA Rolls delivered and thought they were good. But dining in was a better experience. Service was fast and friendly. Menus were huge and impressive. Terriyaki ribeyes were inhaled by me and my husband. My son loved his Kamikaze roll and everything on our table. We also shared a Rainbow Roll and Spicy CA Rolls. My sister loved her ramen and had plenty of leftovers to take home. Fried Tempura ice cream was amazing and tasted like a delicate deep fried donut. Scrumptious!! We'll definitely come back and try their family specials.

    Spicy girl - awful.  The spicy tuna looked like it was tomato paste in texture

    Came here on the 14th of February at 2 pm. We missed the lunch crowd and there were plenty of tables open so we didn't have to wait. Osaka has been around for over a decade and I know that there has been an ownership change maybe once or twice since it's been here. The menu is nice that there's a lot of photos with their items so no need to be surprised by what you get. With a plethora of Japanese restaurants in Modesto than when I first moved to Modesto in 2003, Osaka isn't my fav Japanese place but sometimes we like a change of taste. When it came to a late lunch, my wife ordered the Salmon Teriyaki with tempura and I initially wanted the chicken teriyaki bento box but the waitress said, sorry but because it's Valentine's Day, we don't have that available. OkkkKkk.... So if that isn't available, why doesn't Osaka have a Valentine's Day lunch plate special? It seems like a cop out when other restaurants would have a Valentine's Day menu to order. To me, that was a turn off but I didn't complain. There was an older gentleman who came later than us, who wanted to order the lunch plate menu and when he was told it's not available, he spent several minutes saying to the waitress that he saw the menu, which they did give (same as us). He left when it wasn't offered. Smart old man. lol I got the chicken teriyaki with tempura along with spicy girl roll. This chicken teriyaki was okay. Their teriyaki sauce is poured separately and is one of the worse sauces out there . It was very watery, it didn't stick to the chicken compared to other restaurantsz The tempura shrimp and vegetables isn't my fav. It's very thick and coated. Easy to get full with so much breading. The spicy girl was awful. It's suppose to be a California roll topped with spicy tuna along with roasted almonds and sriracha sauce. I've ordered this before and I enjoyed it but this just didn't taste right. The spicy tuna looked like it was tomato paste on top I ate two and my wife ate one and it was enough that we really didn't enjoy it. Also, the waitress who was suppose to bring our food to our table gave my chicken teriyaki plate to a table that came after us. The waitress realized she messed up because they had ordered two chicken teriyaki but the other plate in her hand was my wife's salmon teriyaki. So she gave my plate to the other table, came to ours to give my wife's plate. Then I had to wait several minutes to get my chicken teriyaki dinner. This place isn't like it was before. Won't be coming back for a long time.

    This place is very busy. Readily accessible from a main street, you can see how many cars are parked and estimate how many people are in there. But people would rather queue than go to a different place. I haven't tried any other sushi places here in Modesto but I'd say this one is decent. The sushi's are fresh. But coming from an Asian, the rice is not very consistent at times. I actually love their uni's when they're available, as well as the unagi. As I said, it can be busy and so noise level can be up there also at times. Its casual. Good for family and friends. But can also be a date spot if you're craving for sushi.

    We stopped in the other day and Brandon was our server. Wow, he was so professional, knowledgeable, and super friendly. The food was consistently fresh and delicious! We can't wait to go back and have the whole experience again!

    Dragon roll
    Monique M.

    When we arrived, we were seated right away. Staff was friendly. But shortly after the place started to get a little busier and despite being very friendly, our server was stretched thin and wasn't able to get to us for things like refills, additional sides, the check, etc- but staff was still very nice. We ordered a bunch of food to try out. The edamame was nothing special. The mussels were good. The dragon roll was nicely presented, but their beef steak plate and the seafood teppanyaki plate weren't anything special. The seafood platter had no flavor, and appeared to mostly be artificial seafood except the mussels and baby shrimp. It lacked flavor. It came on a sizzling hot plate but the food was nowhere near sizzling hot. Oysters were good. Otherwise the place is a decent size with its own parking lot which is nice. But I probably won't be returning here again. Next day we did end up having GI issues.

    Came here on a Saturday night and the place was packed about an hour and a half before closing. The calamari and edamame were a great choice for starters. The sushi was also fresh and enjoyable.

    Sushi and Sashimi
    Riad S.

    Excellent sushi and service. I usually get delivery from here about once a week and they're the only ones that get it right. First, the sushi is delicious and very fresh. I ordered the Sushi and Sashimi dinner this time. This comes with slices of sashimi, some nigiri and a tuna roll. Check the pic out. It also comes with a salad and a cup of miso. Everything is always perfect! They even included chopsticks, wasabi and soy packets. Other restaurants always forget those for whatever reason. They even give you a little solo cup for you wasabi and soy. I also ordered the Shrimp Tempura which I've never had before. It was excellent! I obviously will order here again.

    Best place in modesto for sushi. Quality and prices are unmatched. Friendly service and attentiveness. Place is great weather a casual lunch or special occasion meal.

    I cannot remember all of the names, the furthest one in the photo was a Las Vegas roll. (Fam favorite)

    They accommodated our large party for my son's birthday and the food and service were fantastic! It was nice and relaxing while we were there. Thank you Osaka!

    Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura
    Mike H.

    You can't go wrong at Osaka Sushi. I have eaten here for lunch about five times and the food is consistently good. I always love the pot of hot tea and the wait staff are friendly and helpful. Standard Japanese bento boxes. I always get the chicken teriyaki and it's good. My wife gets the shrimp tempura bento box. She loves it.

    Yes .. just went last night

    Do they have happy hour?

    Sorry. But every time there is happy. Nice folks and excellent sushi.

    Can someone tell me the 'Happy Hour' details please? For food/alcohol and whatever else haha. Thank you?

    As of 5/17/18 they do not have a Happy Hour. They don't need one. This place is so good it always has a steady clientele. There is a discount if you pay cash, but must ask prior to placing order.

    Average food and poor service…read more My friends and I decided to try Okinawa Sushi on a Saturday evening, around 6pm. Despite the restaurant being relatively empty, it took quite a long time for us to be sat. When we got to our table, the first thing I noticed was how large the booths were. If you are coming with a large party, you will likely be able to fit at one booth - this definitely makes this place feel more intimate. Despite the menu being very large, I must say, I appreciate that the there are photos of all the sushi rolls. The photos are definitely not the clearest but they help visualize what you are ordering. The menu definitely has a lot going on. There is sushi, hibachi, and all the side orders and bowls that you can imagine. Our table ordered the Crab Rangoons, Fantastic, Alaska, and Lion King Rolls. The rangoons were unfortunately deceiving. They are large, but have hardly any filling. They were almost entirely fried wrapper with quite literally a drop of filling. As for the rolls, they were alright. The texture of rolls was almost mushy. On some of rolls, there was so sauce that it was all you could taste and made the rolls soggy. The flavors were pretty good, but the portions were tiny. I felt the rolls were comparable to glorified grocery store sushi. When the rolls were brought to our table, my friends and I had to hold back our laughs when we saw the tray. There was a little whale figurine that spewed out steam. This novelty was cute but felt a little tacky. The service was somehow worse than the food. Our table ordered three waters for our party of three yet only two came. Our server said she would bring it to us later. Little did we know, this "later" would be at the conclusion of our meal. The one time she came by our table, she asked us if everything was okay. Before we were even able to provide an answer, she just assumed we would say 'yes' and walked away, making no eye contact with us. She literally walked away so quickly we couldn't tell her we were still missing a water. It felt like she was just avoiding any interaction with us. At the end of our meal, it took a long time for the bill to be brought to us. I don't see myself coming back in the future.

    Sushi restaurant or a nightclub?…read more My friend and I decided to go for a night out Downtown. When we arrived at about 7:00pm, we were told there would be about an hour wait. Despite this long wait, there were actually quite a few empty tables, but was overall still very busy. When you put yourself on the waitlist, they notify you through text when your table is ready. This gave us ample time to walk around Downtown while we waited. When we received the table-ready text (just short of an hour later), we were sat quickly in a nice U-shaped booth. This seating arrangement felt a bit awkward for a party of two, especially if you are sharing food. The booth is too big to be sitting close enough to reach but too small to not feel awkward. It is perfect for people watching though since the booths face the entire restaurant. By this time, the restaurant was completely packed, with just about every booth, table, and barstool occupied. Our waiter came quickly to take our drink orders. We got a Cucumber Martini and an Espresso Martini. The Cucumber Martini was incredibly light and refreshing. The Espresso Martini was not impressive. It didn't have a strong espresso flavor and was rather watery, but still alright. This is the type of restaurant, that especially on busy nights like this where they don't accept reservations, you should allocate a lot of time for the dinner service for. There is a significant time gap between each time the waiter comes around to take your order. There was probably 15-20 minutes between placing our drink, appetizer, and meal orders. This was not a problem for us, but if you are eating here before making a show at the Gallo Center, this may be something to consider. For our appetizer, we ordered the Salmon Ceviche. It was insanely good. It was subtly spicy and citrusy. The chips that came with it were light and not oily at all. I wish the portion was larger because the two of us swallowed it up in just a few bites. For our entree, we got the Salmon Tataki and Goodi Rolls to split. They were both very good and came out on a lovely platter. They tasted very fresh and high quality. The prices here are on the higher side but is nice for a special occasion or splurge. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often. He was super friendly too. The restaurant was super lively. They were playing club music which was totally a vibe. It looked like this was the spot people hit before going out for the night. I noticed they were accommodating for both small and large parties, serving both rather quickly. I'll be back!

I feel like I've upgraded from typical Chinese buffets with the weird gelatin cakes from that one specific bakery that distributes said cakes to all these low-level Chinese buffets. But sometimes I gotta return to the trenches! The inside is cute with a lot of booths and Japanese decorations. The center consists of a sushi bar with a functioning boat, chefs making rolls and putting jello onto the little floaties. The back has the standard Americanized Chinese fare. Bonus: there is a "Mongolian BBQ" station where a cook will stir fry your creation. Pricing is pretty decent considering there is more than just the hot trays of Chinese. The food itself was pretty OK. Sushi is basic to below average with huge 65-35 rice proportions, so get ready to be full fast. The sushi chefs also focused on saucy rolls vs nigiri. Because there is seating around the sushi boat, it was funny witnessing socially-unaware people go up behind people sitting there to grab a plate even though there was a huge space at the end of the island without seating to avoid this. Anyways, we ate a bunch to get our money's worth and could cross this off the list to never have to go again.
