Amazing experience eating at Osake. Every dish was delicious. The service was on point. We had a wonderful time. The shashimi, dumplings, and everything else we tried had tremendous freshness and flavor. Look forward to the next time! read more

I had high expectations due to the reviews and as someone who has lived and eaten sushi in many large cities (ny, sf, Boston) I was not necessarily expecting equivalence in quality, but I was at least hoping to be full. Usually two rolls are more than sufficient per person from 99% of Japanese restaurants. Since I was getting dinner for me, my husband and my mom I figured 5 rolls and a sashimi chefs choice was enough (totaling $120) When I opened the bags I was really disappointed by how small the rolls were, about half the size of your typical roll even though it was around the same price. Also rice and Miso soup were not included with the combo. Because there was so little food, my husband and my mom were too embarrassed to eat and everyone had to eat a second dinner afterward to be full. Taste wise it was about average. Not good enough to make up for the miserly portion size. read more

Osake - $120 - Japanese Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Hands down the best quality sushi in Santa Rosa. If you are having a special occasion, go to Osaka! I have been a fan of Gary's restaurants since I was a teen. Service is always great and the food amazing. Yes it is expensive. It's the best sushi in Santa Rosa. No dyed tuna. No fake byproduct ingredients. This is the real deal right in your towns backyard. read more

The food was yummy. Fresh as can be. Staff was so friendly. Super clean, great pricing. I loved it will definitely be back.

Gyoza was delicious. The skins were so thin. Japanese skins are much thinner than Chinese ones. The five pieces were perfectly browned. We had the firecracker roll with avocado and spicy tuna. Five pieces weren't nearly enough because it was so delectable. And lastly the caterpillar roll was heavy with avocado and some yummy sauce. 8 pieces were great. Service was responsive and quick. The restaurant was nice and quiet with three other tables there for a Saturday late lunch. Even the iced teas were good. Recommend highly! read more

My sushi was excellent. Though, the prices are high. A bit higher than other restaurants I go to for sushi. Other than the prices, food is great and atmosphere is nice as well! Our waitress was kind and attentive too. read more

My favorite sushi by far! Love coming here. I love the Shrimp Martini, and the Lori Roll. Osake is always calling for me. I need to go now :) read more

Embarrassing to have this at a celebratory function when the portions are too small to justify price. It feels like they make mad money off customers and don't provide value whatsoever. All these good reviews don't add up. I wish we had energy to complain but we will accept that they made handsome $$ off our large order and don't give a hoot to actually serve a portion to sushi competitive with "upscale" spots in many cities. Not coming back. read more

Osake - Tempura shrimp +garlic edamame ! - Japanese Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Start by saying, Osake holds a special place in our lives. We've been going for more than 18 years, and it was the restaurant of our first date. We've had many special occasions there, birthdays, etc. Sadly, our last few experiences have resulted in our decision to no longer support this restaurant. Tonight our order, which was a takeout order, included a roll that, upon opening the container, smelled so bad that we decided we shouldn't eat it. The main living area of our house still smells so bad from it that we need to open the doors to air it out. Calling the restaurant to let them know, we were met with arguments that no one else had complained about it. We're so bummed that a family favorite has declined to the point that we will no longer eat there. read more

Osake has been a day one location for prime Japanese cuisine, specially Sushi. The Utah roll does not miss and the service is always quick. The chef and owner Gary, is him and deserves much praise. read more

We had been looking forward to coming by for a while, but were kind of disappointed. Maybe it was just an off day (Monday). The waiter mentioned when we sat down that he was hot (it WAS hot, but I don't want my waiter telling me that he's hot). We ordered and then he brought a flight of sake but many of the sake cups were dirty. We asked for new ones and those were dirty too. The food came quick, but in general the service was kind of mediocre. The sushi didn't seem very fresh--I know, I know, that's what we get for coming on a Monday, but... STILL. I don't think we will come back unfortunately. Too many better options to choose from. read more

Bland seasoning and flavor profiles. Missed the mark and some items were way over salted. Had high hopes as its close by our home, Won't return. read more

My favorite sushi spot of all time. Have been going since I was a kid, and have NEVER had a bad experience. I even forgot my wallet for a takeout order once, and Gary just had me call when I got home and pay over the phone. Such wonderful staff, so happy they've done well and love supporting them read more

This place is a gem! My husband and I always crave sushi after wine tasting in Glen Ellen. We asked our wine pourer if he could recommend a place. Without hesitation he recommend Osake. We went and sat at the sushi bar, ordered a few items at a time, and watched the chef prepare all the delectable bites with a swift hand. Everything was amazing! We had a range of food from sashimi and sushi rolls to Chinese stir fry. We asked the chef to surprise us with something and got the most memorable,delicious king crab tempura. OMG was it incredible. We have since been back 4 times and don't mind the hour drive to get there as it is Just...That...Good! read more

Hello...I was shopping and noticed this Japanese Restaurant very few feet away. I clearly was hungry so I worked my way to check out this place. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Breast with mixed veggies. The food was pretty good although there was no spice in the dish at all...very disappointing. The presentation was nice...the amount was very small for the price. Perhaps if I ate in the restaurant, the portion would of been more sufficient. Still worth a second try. Check it out. read more

This is our favorite go to for sushi in Santa Rosa. Gary Chu runs an excellent restaurant with fresh, delicious, and innovative dishes. Love his martini prawns, the King crab tempura, naked Lori roll, and the chocolate ginger soufflé is to die for. Smart casual dining with an attentive staff. Definitely recommend! read more

The staff was very very nice. We only got 3 rolls to go but they were fantastic. Well made quality fish. I will definitely be back!

Love making a stop here whenever we're in town!!! Martini prawns are an absolute must!

Beat sushi in Santa Rosa. Yummy Japanese food friendly staff. Plenty of parking easy location to get to. Love this place!

High marks for ambiance. Food just so-so. Way too much sauce. The tuna in the Spicey Tuna Roll was getting old. Passable if you dipped each piece in soy. Had not been in there in several years and doubt we'll be back anytime soon. read more

My husband and I love Osake. Always the most delicious food and best service :) the martini prawns are addicting.

Love this place. The martini prawns are my fiancé's favorite appetizer. Just make sure to make a reservation as it's a small restaurant with limited seating! read more

Excellent sushi, extremely fresh. They are a little pricy, but well worth it. If you are seeking quality and flavor, Osake is Santa Rosa's best spot! read more

We love Osake and Gary! This place is a gem, perfect every time. Gary puts his personal touch and beauty on every dish. From the on set of covid he has never missed a beat, the new patio dining addition is one of the best in Sonoma county, well done. This has become one of our favorites and if you want to impress your out of town guests, this is your place! Gary has a staff that is the best, letting Gary do what he does best, MAGIC! read more

Nothing but good experiences at Osake. They tend to be pretty busy on the weekend so reservations are encouraged. We have tried a handful of rolls from simple to loaded, sashimi, hamachi Kama, appetizers, sake, etc. and have yet to be disappointed. read more

I was not happy with the portions as compared to what they were charging for them. Definitely felt overpriced and the quality of the food was not what I had imagined. I talk to my server about the portion of the role and I complained about it before I even touched it and he said that he gets a lot of complaints like that but offered me no compensation for my dissatisfaction. Or even offered to remake the role. I would recommend a OTORO sushi Healdsburg. Best sushi restaurant in all of Sonoma County in my opinion for price, quality, and portions read more

Wow! This place is great! Let me start by saying that I am not a big fan of sushi. Cooked fish is not high on my list, much less raw fish. I was invited to have lunch there by a friend last week. This person loves sushi and drove up from the South Bay to meet me. I knew from word of mouth that Osaka is the favorite of many in Sonoma county. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. We (I) asked for recommendations and were given excellent advice. The Martini prawns were awesome. I learned that raw fish, when fresh and properly prepared taste really good! I hid my fork as best as I could and dug in. There deserts are so good. I had the Bananas Foster. Good coffee too. So while I'm still not a pescatarian, I will be back soon. (Right after I learn how to use chopsticks.) read more

Don't go here! I found it years ago and want it all to myself!!! The Marilynn Monroll and Martini Prawns could solve all the world's problems. Sushi or entree? Both please!!! Can't wait for my next visit!!! read more

Excellent sushi and sashimi! Great place with fast service, excellent friendly staff and great outdoor seating in case the county is trying to shut things down! This will be on my favorites list! read more

Always enjoy this restaurant. I love the food but felt rushed. They are very efficient, a little too efficient to get you served, cleared with bill. If you want a More relaxed experience eat slowly. read more

Worst sushi experience and very pricey! Ordered 20 piece sashimi plate for $45 salmon, Tuna, Hamachi and two other white fish. None of it premium fishes. So I ordered extra food...2 orders Uni $15 per order, 2 orders Ikura and one order scallop total $60!!! My son had a bowl of ramen noodles $17! And my little girl a bowl of unagi Don $18 and a plate of 7 piece sashimi $12 total bill $160!!! I'm sure there's better place to go....don't know if this is a Japanese or Chinese restaurant because the menu is totally confusing! Lemon chicken, Kung pao chicken? read more
