I ordered my steak medium rare at it came out as beef tartare! You don't have to worry about your food being over cooked here! Well.... The fried rice was comparable to eating pieces of gravel. But who doesn't love eating a little bit of pebbles for lunch? I also had some shrimp and scallops. I'm kind of hoping they were cooked like my steak so I can catch the 2026 diarrhea outbreak! I could lose a few lbs these days! Very humbling experience. Makes you realize that YOU DO HAVE FOOD AT HOME. 10/10 recommendation. 5 stars since I just left church. read more

Osaka - My not even rare steak. About at raw as it gets lol. - Japanese Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Love it. Dined there over a decade. NEVER had a bad experience! My personal favorite (and some others of my family, friends & acquaintances, too): 'Emperor Roll'!!! read more

The scallop lunch special kept getting smaller and smaller so now I've switched to getting teriyaki steak and I've learned to order a little under what I actually want on the steak and then it's cooked perfectly. The teriyaki sauce is really good. I enjoy the vegetable still the salad is still great and the fried rice all for like 15 bucks is a really good deal for lunch. The service is usually pretty quick. I still sometimes have issues but in general when I come, it's very quick in and out especially since I know what I want each time I will say if you've not been here for lunch. You're missing out. read more

Osaka - Steak lunch - Japanese Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Had an impromptu date night last night! My boyfriend and I both love a good hibachi, so we decided to give Osaka a try. For a Wednesday night, they were pretty busy, so we were glad we got there early! Only had to wait about 5 -10 minutes before being seated. One thing to keep in mind is that they don't take reservations for hibachi, it's first come, first served. So if you're planning to go with a bigger group, especially on a busy weekend, I'd definitely plan ahead and expect a wait. The food was cooked to perfection, and we had plenty of leftovers to take home. I love a good dinner and a show, and Osaka definitely delivered! We'll definitely be back. read more

Three of us went to Osaka for lunch today. It was the first time my wife and I had been there but the third in our group had been there before. Upon entering the main entrance and getting our buzzer for a 5 to 10 minute wait, I was horrified when I looked up at the ceiling lights and noticed that the tops of the light shades apparently have not been cleaned any time in the last decade. They were disgusting. I then went into the men's bathroom to wash my hands and there were paper towels all over the floor and it just had a smell that I found quite unappealing. Not the cleanest bathroom I've ever been in, that's for sure. After that shaky start we were seated at a Hibachi table and waited a few minutes for a few more people to be seated at that same table. Menus were delivered by an efficient server, drink orders were taken and delivered fairly quickly. Our hibachi chef was quite personable and had a funny attitude. When I told him that this was our first time there and that I expected him to put on quite a show he replied that this was his first day. It was a joke. He then proceeded to dazzle us with his handy work with a knife and spatula. It was quite amazing. I particularly enjoyed the onion volcano. I ordered teriyaki steak as a lunch special and it was only about $12. It was cooked perfectly medium rare as I had requested. With everything you get with that including fried rice, vegetables (mushrooms, zuchinni, onions), bean sprouts and a nice salad with an orange ginger dressing that was amazing, I'd have to say it was one of the best values in a restaurant I've had in a long time. I actually can't wait to go back because it was entertaining, the food was delicious and it's a unique experience. What absolutely needs to be improved is the cleanliness of the entranceway and the bathrooms. If I hadn't been so hungry I might've turned around and left before even experiencing the food due to the initial impression. read more

Food was really good. Freshly made and well prepared. We had the Raider Roll, Rainbow Roll, teriyaki steak and hibachi steak. I wasn't too impressed with the service. Service staff literally dropped the plates on the table. Friendly, but seemed annoyed or frustrated. Well decorated and clean tables. Not too noisy! Enjoyed the monitor that showed how the various rolls looked. Overall we were very happy with the meal. We'll have to come back to try the Hibachi tables. read more

We went back to Osaka for Mother's Day and it was just as good as always! My son did try the kids chicken tempura and fries and said it was great! They were super busy, but we're trying to run a tight ship, keeping everything topped off. It is always a fun and loud experience but worth the entertainment! read more

So this is my second time coming here. The first time was wonderful don't get me wrong. The food here is excellent. The onion soup is something special. The first time I came here everything was perfect. However I went there for lunch around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the restaurant was not crowded. There was plenty of servers yet our service was not great. My dining partner had to get up and ask for a refill for his tea. I did not get sauce for my steak hibachi until I asked. Our fried rice did not come out the same time as our meal like it is supposed to. Like I said, the food is excellent. This time. The service was poor. read more

The lunch sets are reasonably priced especially on the weekend. $12.50 for salmon. I asked if the lunch sets includes the hot green tea. The waitress said it is only for dinner. I said I only want it if it's complimentary. My husband ordered the steak and scallop (dinner). The waitress reiterated that the hot green tea is only for dinner. We asked her if my husband's order was dinner. We ended with a small pot of hot tea for both of us and were charged for it ($2.50). Did not get any refills. The tea was lukewarm and was just enough for four small teacups. Everyone was waiting around for our check after we were done eating and the ice cream was not served. Our waitress only informed us that the dinner came with ice cream after she came back with the check and our card. read more

Always a great experience and great food. Great prices, great environment. Try the hibachi or sushi you can't go wrong.

Very mediocre! So disappointing as we love this type of presentation . Chicken overcooked/dry. For the money should a higher quality!

Honestly the hibachi can be hit or miss, the first time I went it was amazing but the second time I went back the hibachi chef used wayyy too much soy sauce and everything was way too salty. I love that they also have normal sit down tables though since that's my favorite way to eat there. It's a bit quieter and less packed. Their sushi is so fresh and amazing, I'm a bit picky when it comes to sushi and theirs is one of my favorites in Tulsa so far. read more

I visited Osaka on November 20th, 2023 for a Thanksgiving office lunch party with about 14 co-workers. Though I've visited other Hibachi grills, it was my first time visiting this location. My boss suggested it so it must have been good. Naturally, it did not disappoint. I arrived close to 11:45am and waited for the rest of the party. Almost exactly at 12pm, given the party size, we were seated at 2 separate tables. The restaurant was marvelously fitted with Christmas decorations that included Japanese light fixtures, lit spruces, decorated wreaths and a huge Christmas tree with presents underneath. It all was accented well with red chairs and wooden tables throughout. We were seated at the grills which has windows along the walls, allowing for plenty of natural lighting. The waitress brought water to the group and took everyone's order one-by-one. She had a true urgency about her and it felt like she truly cared for our experience and every individual at the table. I ordered chicken & shrimp fried rice. The hibachi chef came shortly after we were seated and begin doing his thing! We all know what the hibachi show will be and, yet, I'm still captivated by it each time. He performed the onion fire tower/volcano, shrimp tosses, egg catch-then-crack, the works (etc.)! "Hooray" yelled the party. Within it all, the fried rice heart was perfectly portioned to those who ordered it, including me. When the show was over, I enjoyed my tender-cooked shrimp and chicken. The rice was soft and bouncy, a perfect compliment to the protein. I left beyond satisfied with my experience. In fact, I've been waiting for the right occasion to return! Asian food, especially Japanese cuisine, is always a treat. But when you combine the comfort of the food with outstanding service, exquisite ambiance and a captivating showmanship, it becomes a worthwhile experience. In my one visit, Osaka took pride in every aspect of hospitality which guaranteed me a joyous experience. read more

So I frequent this location often BUT to my surprise I ended up ordering sushi this time and have before which I've always said it was the freshest around Tulsa. NO!! The rice was obvious left over and tasted like mush, VERY BAD!! Please do better Osaka read more

This was our first time to visit Osaka since they first opened. We were happy with the service from our waiter and impressed how huge this place is! We were there on a Friday evening and the wait was was not long! Our cook was Sebastian and he was entertaining and engaged with the customers. The food he prepared was seasoned well and done to perfection. I had Hibachi Shrimp, really tasty and my wife had Hibachi Lobster. It was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. No fishy smell like some other places we have visited. We will definitely visit again soon and recommend this restaurant. The Hibachi menu includes your choice of protein but also includes salad, soup, fried rice, vegetables with bean sprouts. No noodles like other Hibachi style. Choice of ice cream flavors. We had hot saki with our dinner! read more

I used to frequent Osaka for the hibachi, but I have recently stopped visiting because of the service. I ordered the Osaka Favorite to go which is filet mignon and lobster. However, the "lobster" I received was shrimp. I know they usually provide shrimp in addition to what is ordered, but I received mostly shrimp and very little lobster. I called to have the issue rectified and was told that I apparently didn't know the difference between the two. I decided to stop eating here due to this. The food is consistently good and well prepared. I LOVE the fried rice, but I would recommend dining in and eating at the hibachi grill so that you're able to see what you've ordered being cooked. The photo attached is from a previous visit, not the mistaken order. read more

My husband and I were attending his friend's birthday dinner. The inside is very nice and the set up around the grill was nice and cozy. You are able to see all of the tricks with the food without the view being obscured. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very efficient and helpful. The food was all delicious. They brought us a small salad with a house dressing that was sweet with ginger in it that was pleasing. They also had a sort of broth soup with mushrooms and onions that was good. Then came the main course that is prepared in front of you. After we ate (we all needed to go containers) they brought dessert! You had your choice of vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream. They really take care of their guests. This was my first time and I will be going back again. read more

This place is an absolute joke. The wait staff is incredibly rude and the hibachi cooks aren't much better. The waitress barely spoke and left our drinks empty. The cooks threw our food on our plates so sloppily and had zero personality as well. My wife's filet mignon tasted no different than my ribeye. If you are looking for good hibachi and an actual pleasant experience, choose Shoguns. This place is horrendous. read more

I had a horrifying experience at Osaka restaurant that I'll never forget. On Sunday, my family and I went there for my birthday celebration. When I received my scallops, they looked suspiciously undercooked. Despite my concerns, the chef insisted they were fine. Unfortunately, I trusted him and shared a few with my husband. Within hours, we were both violently ill with food poisoning. My husband's symptoms lasted a day, but mine dragged on for two miserable days, forcing me to seek urgent medical attention. The doctors confirmed it was food poisoning from the undercooked scallops. When I contacted the restaurant to report the incident, I was met with utter disrespect. The owner/manager refused to identify himself and flatly denied any wrongdoing. They refused to take responsibility or offer any compensation for the severe illness they caused. I lost pay for two days of not being able to work as well. I've filed a complaint with the health department and urge others to avoid this unprofessional and dangerous establishment. Their negligence cost me my health. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

Soup, salad, fried rice... was great! I hardly got any veggies, I was the last one he served, and i got almost all onions, 2 mushrooms and 1 piece of zucchini. So that was disappointing. The streak had a lot of fat on it. I felt embarrassed sitting with strangers and then having to secretly spit the fat into the napkin. Sorry if TMI lol. The taste of all the food was good tho, and the presentation was fun. Ice cream was yummy too! So I still will give it 4 stars. I would return. read more

We've been here several times and never disappointed with service or food! And love the atmosphere!

Like most reviews say you get your moneys worth. Everyone enjoyed their meal & our cook. The waitress was on top of drinks & clearing dishes most of the meal. And their tables were not as tight as most places. read more

So what can you say about Osaka's... the long lines waiting to get in tell the story... Excellent table top show and tremendous food... my crew eats the beef filet and chicken or both.. we double the fried rice to take one home always... fun atmosphere and everyone there seems to really enjoy themselves.. it's our kids' special request place and yet we love going whenever we can! read more

My husband and I love going to Osaka! The amount of food you get for the price is great and the show is always good. I only wish they took reservations. When your group is almost big enough to fill a hibachi grill that would be nice. read more

It was a miserable experience. Food was okay. Service was okay. No air conditioning, chefs did not come out until all the hibachi tables were full and I counted 4 chefs, so maybe half, drinks got hot due to temps... I'd rather get hibachi somewhere else. read more

I love the food. The show is also good. Our grand kids love it and always eat well here. It is fairly casual dining, family experience and the staff is kind and prompt. Service is good. They are often busy. But all in all very enjoyable. read more

Hardly any Vegetables. Wish I could upload pic. He obviously misjudged the Vegetables little to no show when cooking hibachi

The food is good. Once you get to your table, I suggest ordering a couple rolls of sushi while you wait for the hibachi to get kicked off. This place is about the experience. You will go here once a year for a fun family event or date night. read more

Great ambiance. Very good food. Mostly good service. But, it's disappointing to drive 100 miles to NOT be able to order a regular menu item. 2 staples that SHOULD BE served at ANY sushi restaurant, let alone one of this caliber, are Ahi Tuna and Sweet Shrimp. The two items my wife liked coming here for. Third time in a row, over a period of a couple years, where they don't have either. This time, they said they will no longer be carrying it. THEN WHY THE HECK IS IT ON THE MENU? I will not be returning. The area is lacking good choices. I thought this place was a GEM. My mind is changed. read more

I am going to assume anyone who rates this place highly has not enjoyed their main competitor, Tokyo Garden. My pros and cons are comparing it to TG'a hibachi. Pros - Nice, modern atmosphere. - Hibachi tables are larger/newer. - You receive more shrimp. Cons - No garlic sauce. This was the largest disappointment to me. - No noodles apart from the fried rice. You receive bok choy instead. - Service was slower. We waited at least 20 minutes to order drinks on a Tuesday night at 8:30pm. They could at least take drink orders even if the food needs to wait. - Cabernet by the glass tasted horrible. - Salad was not as good; pre-made and was soggy. Overall, the vibe of this place feels nice but I prefer to get more bang for my buck and better taste elsewhere. It was fun to try, but we won't go back. read more

UPDATE: 06/25/2022 They now have hibachi available in the main area again! :) OSAKA is delicious and my favorite restaurant. I just would avoid the hibachi craziness unless you've never watched it before. UPDATE 1/4/2019: Osaka was our absolute favorite restaurant in Tulsa and they ruined themselves for us tonight. They are no longer allowing you to order hibachi from the traditional seating area. The only reason we recommended it (despite the horrendous wait times and too small waiting area) was because you could get around the long wait by sitting on the other side. We no longer have that option so we will only be coming every once in awhile for sushi from now on. Seriously sucks Osaka. Please reconsider this terrible chan Osaka is my favorite place in the Tulsa area to eat and my favorite place to get sushi. The Graduation Roll is to die for. The hibachi show is always fun but the most recent time I went, my fiancé and I sat at a two seater table and got hibachi food without the show. I honestly liked it so much better. The main food was all presented at once (soup and salad still came first) so the rice and veggies didn't get cold before I got my meat. Tried a lava roll and loved it also. GO HERE! You won't regret it. Just make a reservation haha read more

The food is excellent, but we had a little wait. We were looking around how dirty it was. The cubicle where the employees stood had dust and lint on it, we looked up to the lamp shades. They were definitely covered in dirt and dust. So we really started looking around and saw that most everything was covered in lint, dust and dirt. The air vent above table was the most disappointing. That could have been falling right on our food. We didn't use the restroom but I saw another review about how dirty they were. Like I said, the food was great but considering whether to go back because of cleanliness. Makes you wonder what the kitchen is like?? read more

Japense food is never a bad idea. Especially when there's an experiential element. HIBACHI GRILL. I've been here several times and I always get excited when they do the onion volcano I opted for a sooner roll this time because I can never finish all the food they give me. However, my dad did get the shrimp/chicken combo and I sneaked a few pieces of his food and it was absolutely delicious! Everything was delicious! This sushi roll was so savory, spicy and sweet! Our hibachi chef was talented, funny and very sweet. Our food was delicious and our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of throughout our meal! Thank you! read more
