This sushi place has been in the strip mall for probably over a decade - i regard Osaka as a pleasant stop for light comfort foods such as chicken teriyaki rice or California roll. Also, it's a convenient place to buy sushi to go when I am by the King Edward area with its free parking lot. The staff are friendly and don't look entitled to ask for 20% tips for take out foods. Their debit/credit card machines set tips at 12%, 15%, 18% and 20% and I appreciate that their service is good for both takeout and dine-in. They offer a three item lunch special with miso soup for $17.95 (before food inflation, the combo was actually less than $10, those were the good old days!) Combo set is a good option for sharing different appetizers or sushi and I find it's a decent variety if you want to customise your own combo order of different nigiri sushi. They serve alcohol and I like the brand of Orion lager beer they carry, imported all the way from Okinawa Japan; it's refreshing and easy to drink. Ambiance is cozy with comfortable booths and it's easy to dine here solo or with friends. Osaka do have bigger tables by the window or by the wall if you come in a group of six or more. Foods I like to reorder: nigiri sushi, speciality sushi roll, bento box sets with chicken teriyaki rice, Orion beer and warm sake. read more

Tasty (Chinese run) sushi place in the strip mall at the SE corner of King Edward and Oak. Parking is plentiful in the strip mall lot. There is also street parking if desired. The place looks pretty ordinary. Typical Japanese style mural on the wall. Staff are friendly. They speak Mandarin. The sushi combo I had was fairly decent. The usual room temperature sushi found all over town. Everything met requirements. Typical freshness. As in nothing stuck out, in a good or bad way. Decent spot to check out if one is in the area. read more

The time I went around 5:00 it wasn't too busy yet. It wasn't dinner rush yet and there were a few tables with individuals enjoying their meals. I ordered the Tofu Teriyaki Box. The box includes tofu teriyaki with rice, vegetable tempura, avocado roll, green salad, and fruit. Honestly, everything tasted good. The only issue I had was the temperature of the miso soup when I received it, it was cold. The restaurant was open and clean. The servers were nice and accommodating with my allergies. Would recommend to try! read more

I had a volunteering event and our member ordered from Osaka Sushi. We had it delivered to us through a third party company. We got a sushi platter and assorted tempura. We noticed that they didn't give us tempura sauce. The sushi platter was ok. Not wow. It tasted the way it should. I really liked the presentation of the sushi. Tempura was nice and crispy. You can tell they fried it not too long ago and best of all, it was not soggy at all. Everything was freshly made. read more

Osaka Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

First review of 2021 and it's a goody. I've lived in the west end for 10+ years and this was the first time I've come to Osaka. Bad move! This sushi is probably my favorite joint! You can't eat in but take out is efficient and super fast. The lady who took my order was super sweet and very pleasant. My go to is spicy agadashi tofu, a veg roll of some sort (this one was cucumber) and I tried their yam yam roll (yam on top and inside). Plus, they threw in a free miso! The yam yam roll was huge! I couldn't eat half of it! Cucumber roll was standard and the agadashi tofu is the best I've had thus far! The food was so delicious and very filling and VERY reasonable. They offer tons of dietary options (including tamari) plus they do black and brown rice. Definitely a must try and I'll continue to frequent! read more

I'm a fan of sushi and enjoy trying various places in Vancouver. Glad I tried Osaka Sushi. It's local and offers fresh sushi at a decent price. Also, the menu is quite extensive, so the food caters to a variety of tastes. It's not just sushi; they also have karaage, noodles, bento boxes, fried squid, etc. Its always nice to have options. I ordered through Skip the Dishes and the service was quite fast. I had a few pieces of nigiri - negitoro, aburi salmon and sockeye salmon. Delicious. I also had the Ichiban sushi roll, which is tuna, avocado and spicy tuna. I was happy with all the food. I recommend this spot if you like Japanese style food and want to support a local business. read more

Osaka Sushi - A few pieces nigiri and the ichiban roll. - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We need ordered California rolls and tempura for takeout. Everything was made quickly and well. A fine choice for takeout sushi.

Very solid food quality, a good option for a quick lunch. They are situated in the same plaza as the Safeway, which parking is tricky at the best of time. I always opt for street parking and walk back. I ordered their dynamite combo, which was a bit pricier than other sushi joints, but at the same time you get more food for your money. You get two pieces each of salmon, tuna and chopped scallop. It would be better if their combos came with miso soup. Overall good sushi place, would go back again. read more

Osaka Sushi is a hidden gem. The sashimi and sushi rolls are always delicious, especially with black rice. The staff is so friendly and always kind! I come to Vancouver often for work and love to start my week with an unagi roll and salmon or toro sashimi. I crave Osaka sushi! read more

I really wanted a tofu teriyaki tonight and was torn between that or a vegetable stirfry. Ordered the tofu teriyaki for delivery with some sushi rolls. I was impressed with the amount of tofu (deep fried like agedashi style), stir fried beansprouts and steamed broccoli I was presented with. It was everything I wished for and more. It was delicious, not overly salted or sweet like some teriyaki sauce can be. Also, ordered a miso soup. Generous amount of seaweed. Enjoyed the taste too. I would totally go back for more teriyaki tofu read more

Take out review only.....covid 19 Had an excellent take out order from Osaka with a glorious Himatchii sashimi roll, spicy tuna, scallop nigiri, prawns tempura and a mango/avo roll. Fresh, hot and tasty. My only complaint was the full order of spicy tuna sashimi because for $17 I didn't feel the proportion size was fair. The Tuna was a good grade and the sauce was alright, but the fish was mostly lettuce and spicy sauce. That dissapointed me. The fancy roll I ordered was absolutly fantastic tho. There is also the option of black or brown rice. Nice!! I think the prices are fairly standard, sans the spicy tuna, but because I ordered through a delivery service I got dinged with the service delivery fee and of course tip. I'd recommend Oska, so give it a go. read more

Oaska sushi is located on King Ed & Oak Street, they are very busy during dinner time. When we walked in, I knew I made another mistake. Coz I saw the sticker of "order it" and "just eat" service. It means they do a lot of take out sushi and probably not in good quality/fresh of ingredients! My hubby and me spent time to check out the menu item and found most of prices for rolls very cheap. Also, we saw the other table dishes portion pretty generous. We really had doubt to order any sashimi or raw fish sushi. I ordered few nigiri, none of it was fresh! The saba tasted bad and scallop smelled fishy too! The roll had too much salad dressing and tasted pretty warm. I definitely not going back for warm sushi or not fresh raw fish. read more

Rereading my review below and realized that 2 stars was too generous considering the abysmal customer service and the fact that I had the runs after eating here. I worked at the hospital nearby and literally had to sprint back to a bathroom; I remember it clear as day. Hungry hospital workers beware. read more

We always order by phone for pick up. Food is ready very quickly, is fresh and where appropriate, hot. Menu is extensive and everyone's tastes in sushi/sashimi and things Japanese can be accommodated. Prices are extremely reasonable. We had friends from California comment on how great the food is and that the pricing is so good. read more

Sashimi was decently fresh. The toro was the star of the sushi and sashimi combo. But the spicy tuna roll stole the show. They incorporated some tempura bits that added some crunch to the roll. read more

Some of the best value sushi-wise in Vancouver. Good flavour. Location itself is a bit small and cramped. Best to order delivery or takeout imo read more

3.5. I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much when we came here, but I was pleasantly surprised by our meal... especially the speed in which we were served our food. Toro sashimi was huge - it didn't melt in my mouth or taste as fresh as like some other cuts I've had, but it was still good. Takoyaki (6 pieces) were a little undercooked, but the shrimp tempura with spicy salmon roll was very tasty. Spicy tuna, Hamachi + green onion rolls, and Saba nigiri (pickled) was a solid B. read more

Casual Neighbourhood place. Not the best sushi, We have ever had, but a filling meal at a good price. Space is ok, tonight the air conditioning was working on warp speed and lots of people walking through, picking up take out....somewhat annoying. Sushi is fast, tasty and presented nicely; arrived intermittently. Couple times we have ate here, we noticed the wasabi is really hot! All good... just be forwarded, your mouth and nose may not appreciate your bravery:) ...go easy to start... Staff are not overly friendly, but are efficient. You won't make friends, but you tea will be hot and full. No bargain, but we felt it was good value. read more

Surprisingly busy considering it is a small sushi spot tucked away in a strip mall. Luckily I managed to grab a spot right when lunch rush started. Only 3 servers in this small restaurant yet I still felt that the service here was not attentive enough. I ordered the bento box set #1 which came with miso soup, two pieces of tempura, one spring roll, 8 pcs California roll, a small salad, and chicken teriyaki. It was pretty filling and was only $12.50. Tempura was nicely battered and fried, I never finished the spring roll because I was too full. The California roll was more on the mushy side but it was okay. Never ate the small salad, did not look inviting at all. Chicken teriyaki was pretty good but i would add more teriyaki sauce to the rice because then it gets flavourless after all the chicken is gone. My friend ordered the tofu teriyaki. There was a lot of tofu and it came on top of a huge bowl of rice. The portion was huge and she couldn't finish it. I never tried it but she said it was pretty good for tofu. Space is super cramped so I wouldn't suggest bringing a lot of people with you. This is one of the few restaurants in close proximity to Children's Hospital and the work areas around there, so the place was full with mostly doctors. Probably will come back again if line isn't too long! read more

A cute little hole in the wall sushi place :) near Safeway and Shell gas. The place isn't huge, but it feels spacious. I was surprise that there were lots of people inside. The menu is quite extensive. They have appetizers, sunomono, tempura, teriyaki, donburi, chirashi, sashimi, nigiri sushi, roll sushi, udon and ramen. They also have bento box specials and party trays. Bonus that they have a variety of Chef's special rolls. I like that they also have a lunch special where you can pick 3 items out of 36 for $8.95 and this includes miso soup. The price is reasonable too. Oh, did I mention that you can do take out ? I definitely grabbed a menu :) read more

If you like mushy yam tempura and agedashi and siracha saturated rolls, this is your place. I ordered from Skip and my meal for 4 people was ready in 10 minutes and here within 30. The salmon is farmed and the presentation was ugly. Oil tempura yam roll that was soggy and my child couldn't eat it... Would never go back. Would give it zero stars if I could. Plus I called them and I was told that would talk to the chef. Didn't ask my name, what I ordered and didn't offer money back. Nothing. read more

The sushi is good, the other dishes are good, but the service is abysmal. Such rude waiting staff. I don't think I'll go back for that alone. read more

The sushi was mediocre... There wasn't anything special about the tuna roll I ordered, but the one thing that bothers me is how the server doesn't pay attention to you. I went on a different occasion and ordered a sushi roll, she then stated I had to pay extra charge because it was under 5$, so I said "ok, I'll add an udon soup as well" She verified my order and I paid... My order came and there was no sushi... I asked her where my sushi was, she said I didn't order it!! What?!?! She verified my order but didn't own up to her mistake not punching it in... I don't think she was paying attention to other customers too, because when I was waiting for my order, another lady came up to the counter and said her order was also wrong. Ok food, bad service. I'm not sure if I'll give this place another chance. I might even end up paying more for a half eaten sushi meal... read more

I stumbled across this place when the previous 2 choices I had in mind for dinner were closed, and oh boy, was this quite the discovery. I walked in and it was somewhat quite, I looked at the reviews on Yelp before stepping in, things looked fine, so here I was. While I was here, I had the Sashimi set, which came with salmon and tuna(?) sashimi, along with some spicy tuna rolls. This place is great for people that love sashimi, they provide thick slices of sashimi, ensuring that you get to enjoy the texture and the flavour of the fish, their spicy tuna rolls were also very tasty, they seem to just have the right amount of tabasco in each of them, I appreciate how they put in bits of tempura batter into the roll to add to the texture! While I agree that service wasn't superb, it was adequate. Staff were attentive and the service was quite speedy (I suppose that has to be the case when you have 6 chefs squeezed into the kitchen preparing food that few customers.) Portions were generous and prices were good, so I think I might come again. read more

Overall pretty decent sushi. I found the portion size decent as well. Quite fast delivery of the order after it was taken. Very very attentive waitresses. Tea was always full. They got my order slightly wrong once but it was a great dish anyway. Best thing about this place is the easy parking. Most restaurants in Vancouver have idiotic or just plain non existent parking. But this place is in the Safeway parking lot and parking is usually a breeze. I would eat sushi here again anyway. read more

Ordered delivery. They forgot a bunch of items and then refused to refund the money or told me to come get it. They also blamed the delivery driver for it when it was their fault. Shame the service is horrible because the food was good. Never ordering from them again. Give this one a miss. read more

3.5 best lunch spot in the area (if you can get a table), service is fast and the food is faster, order the 11.50 lunch special lots of options and portions are big. Don't go expecting fancy food, I've never had any thing taste bad and I am here 3 times a week, I pride myself on knowing what good Japanese food is and this is just fine for being a Chinese owned and operated take on Vancouver sushi. Also some people said service is rude, it's not it's just efficient because of the hospital staff that take their lunches there. read more

This place is pretty good. Ordered the hamachi and salmon sashimi and both were incredibly fresh. They also had a really great portion size for the sashimi. I was really impressed. Also ordered the super salmon roll. Quite good as well. Girlfriend ordered the chicken yakisoba and it was huge. read more

The sushi is decent, considering the location, which is within walking distance to two hospitals. The menu is varied and thus provides a lot of options for guests. I find the quality of the sushi to be average at best. The restaurant itself is decently clean, but the close proximity of the tables and chairs makes moving in the restaurant tough at times. read more

I've been here probably over 1 million times. I usually order one of their specialty rolls because they are all super good. Specifically the sunset roll. Their sashimi slices are huge and delish. Service is prompt and they never screw my order up. Huge bang for buck as well as quality. The restaurant is very nice as well. Check this place out! I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Love the sashimi here - fresh and thick cut! The rolls here are also well made and there's a good variety to choose from. Service is fast. Have more often ordered take out here. I only wished they opened late night :) read more

Really like this sushi place! I can't change what I order here because it is just too good! Tataki attack and ichiban dragon rolls! Perfect combo of savoury and sweet! Variety of fish and fillings. They are super quick and good for takeout read more

It's fast, consistent and makes a mean salmon oshi sushi - that's all I ask for from a local strip mall sushi place! Great sense of community if you work in the hospitals nearby too - you are always bound to see a colleague! read more

This little gem is easy to miss if you don't look carefully, There's almost always a line up out the door because seating is limited and patrons linger over meals and complimentary tea. The servers and hostess are very helpful and friendly. On busy days service is a bit slow but always with a smile. The food is well priced and very good.Everything is fresh and memorable. They have take out too which is great if you're at the salon next door. It's difficult t o find parking and the parking enforcement is stealth.I think they might have passes t o allow you to park for longer than 20 minutes in front. Try to avoid 12-1 because staff from GF Strong head over for lunch. My go to Japanese restaurant read more

Make long story short. Got me the wrong food 2 items, didnt change the bill and charged full price. Waiters are very desorganized. The food was okay but after so much disappointment is hard to savour the food. Avoid going there because there are better places in the area and less expensive too. read more

Osaka has a great lunch menu where you can mix and match the items to create a lunch of your choice! The sushi is of moderate quality. I wouldn't visit this restaurant if you are looking for high quality sushi. This place is better for a quick lunch read more
