Sushi & teppanyaki are fixed up in a roomy, contemporary space with large hibachi tables.
Our waitress suggested the Dragonfly sushi for our cooked option, and I'm glad we took her recommendation -it was DELICIOUS. We had the hibachi salmon & the filet mignon. The food was wonderful, the staff was wonderful, and the owner even came to see how everything was & bid us goodnight as we left. They even checked to make sure nothing had gluten in it for us, and no pork products! Would definitely recommend going there!!! 💜

This specific Osaka & Hibachi location has been a continuous staple of a good time for my family and I! For about 10 years I would say we have been continuous customers, and each time we have always been greeted with smiling faces and amazing Hibachi chefs who know what they are doing and can change it up depending on children present and accommodating it for the whole table to where everyone is happy! Jimmy and his team are always prepared to make sure your crew are happy and can be seen dashing in the background of the beautifully ominous Hibachi Dine-in area, accommodating an always busy customer base with laughter and the occasional "Oooh" and "Wow!" of the performances happening all around the room.
While the prices are expensive, you are paying for the experience and a fantastic night out filled with good drinks, food and show for the whole family! Groupons are available, making this a rare but fulfilling night out with the family that I hope can bring your appetite, and good laughter too!
Until next time Jimmy and the crew!

The parking lot is huge, so parking will never be a problem. Decor is about normal. They have a unique 'double table's setup on the hibachi side of the restaurant. My wife got the filet mignon with a double fried rice, I got shrimp and scallops. The fried rice was cooked first, followed by a surprising but delightful serving of thick lobmein noodles. We've been to Japanese steakhouses before, but this was the first time we've been served the lo mein noodles as a standard fare. They were thick and delicious. The yum yum sauce was just right for me... The scallops were big, and the 9 shrimp were very tasty too. My wife's filet serving was quite large also. The chef knew his trade, and kept up a constant banter with everyone at the table. We also used a Groupon coupon that saved us 25.00... it was a very nice dinner, I must say. We brought home leftovers from the large servings and will enjoy them tonight. 👍👍

We had a 10 people birthday party on last Saturday. We love this place. Our Osaka experience was amazing. Jimmy is the best server we have ever had. On the last Saturday night he tried to help front customers. It seems they didn’t have people work in the front desk. He was working so hard. Even they add a tip on bill for cooker and him. I still left extra for him, because he always friendly and nice. That is the reason why we always go there not the other Osaka

My girlfriends and I were around this area and came across this restaurant. We gave it try and we loved the service. As soon as we walked, we were welcomed and attended to right away. Our server Jimmy was very friendly. We weren’t sure what to order and our server made some very tasty suggestions. He suggested the hibachi lunch special in which we ordered different kinds to share. We ordered the wontons, the spicy tuna roll, onion soup and we had ice cream for dessert. Such a hidden treasure that I would 100% recommend and try out.

We had a 6pm reservation. We arrived and the place is in like a strip mall type area , looked a little run down. Hopeful, We went inside and got seated. Our waiter kept coming back and saying he would be right back and it took 40 mins of us waiting , he asked if we had coupons for celebrations he was really hard to understand I thought he asked me when her birthday was but he wanted to know when coupon was bought. He left and then finally came back to take orders , very rushed, told us to hurry ordering we all ordered hibachi except my sister who is vegan and he didn’t want to take her order he said hibachi orders first only but then she insisted and he rolled his eyes said ok. Based on his reaction I asked him if it’s ok to order sushi he said fine . Then he was about to leave and we had to ask him for our drinks because we had not even received water nothing at that point . Our soups and salads arrived about 20 mins after with drinks , but then another 30 min wait before our hibachi chef came, he was awesome and friendly. The food was ok. The waiter didn’t come back a single time to ask if we need napkins , more refills , nothing . I had to wave him down to ask for refills and chili sauce. By the time he brought it we were pretty much done eating. He said again is anyone celebrating I said my daughters birthday. And the lady at our table also had birthday. He at some point came back with the kabuki hat he puts it on the wrong person , played the music and then left mid song , so my daughter didn’t get a proper birthday song. He kept thinking it was my sons birthday all night . He brings the other lady at the table a pink crown birthday hat and not my daughter . We brushed it off just wanted to leave and he comes to take coupon, he leaves and then comes back to our table and starts yelling at me and saying to get up now we going to manager to talk and Im confused he tells me really loud to get up , everyone’s watching around the other tables my kids are scared, and I go to talk with manager he says I lied about my coupon , apparently you can’t use it the same day but his thick accent made me miss that part , I apologize and say I don’t mind paying full price , well he keeps going and going and I tell him to stop going on about it and that it’s ok. I mention the poor service since he wants to attack me and the lack of birthday song , he says let’s go do the song again , I’ll do again . And I decline . I stay quiet from then on cause he’s rude and doesn’t stop talking . the manager doesn’t say much he just rings me up and I go back to my table, now humiliated and wanting to cry. we leave . My daughter said this was worst birthday dinner ever, and I agree not worth 150$ . We should of gone to Benihana much better service and food and atmosphere

This time for service though I give it threebecause our chef did not throw the food in everybody's mouth he skipped that exciting part. Our chef just wasn't that entertaining.
We had a birthday to celebrate there and only one female employee came out, gave the birthday girl her cake and beat the drum during the music. In the past there's been more than one employee doing that and she did a nice job all by herself.

I waited 25 minutes past the pick up time it told me my food was supposed to be ready...do not come here unless you like waiting forever in the lobby. I wonder why they even give you a pick up time at the place if its not accurate and this happens every time I come here and I normally don't bother coming here anymore but I needed to come get some food for my babysitter and also needed things from target next door so it was right there.

My family and I visited Osaka across from Northtown Mall last night to celebrate my birthday.
My wife and I have only stopped in for sushi once many years ago, but I truly enjoyed my meal, as did our whole family last night.
Our server was very friendly & attentive and the hibachi chef was really fun and helped us enjoy the whole experience. From flinging food and shooting sake in our faces to setting up the whole hibachi dining experience from beginning to end, it was truly a lot of fun.
We arrive pretty early and there was plenty of seating in the restaurant as well as hibachi tables that were open. Later on, a few more hibachi tables arrived, but it wasn't terribly busy or loud.
My steak & shrimp hibachi was really good and definitely a good value - especially since this is basically dinner with a show.
We'll definitely be back again and I recommend you check this place out as an alternative to Benihana that's significantly busier, louder, and more expensive than Osaka.

It’ll go to waste because I have no desire to visit their restaurant again!

When you add a 17% gratuity you will never get extra from me. I usually always give more especially if the service is good. But can tell you I won't come back because of it, if you want a good tip work for it don't expect it. Entitlement mentality will get you no where.

Let me start by saying I’ve never had a more horrible experience. I took my niece here for her first time and my 2nd time. I usually go to Benihana. Our waitress rushed us, ignored my nieces severe food allergy and pretended she couldn’t hear anything I said making it extremely difficult to communicate with her. I asked her for cooked sushi and she recommended raw sushi which I have a slight allergy too and felt a burning sensation immediately on my tongue. She tried to convince this raw meat was cooked and this type of ignorance continued until we got up and left the table after she gave my niece food containing things she was allergic too. When I tried to speak up she put her hand up to shush me and told me she was talking ( her dismissive attitude was just getting worse) . When I said I didn’t like her attitude she said she didn’t like me, which was very apparent from the moment we sat down. I believe we were stereotyped from the beginning. I could no longer take her rudeness, so we left the table after waiting almost a hour to be served in the first place. The manager promised to make it right and asked us to give them a second chance . He also promised us a gift card for our terrible ridiculous uncalled for experience. We simply wanted to eat and enjoy ourselves and my niece really wanted to stay so we waited another 30 minutes before being set again. Our second waiter and cook were very nice and mindful. However, when we were done we were gifted a $15 gift which is a i feel is very underwhelming for the experience we had. I asked to see a manager and was told I would have to wait because he was cooking. As I waited , the same rude waitress kept walking past us, stopping & staring me down. She was looking very deranged and I feared for mines and my nieces safety. We left without talking to a manager.
Also, as I was waiting I witnessed another waiter rushing another lady of African descent. I’ve just never experienced a service so horrible. I hear this is the standard at this restaurant. I’m not sure if all this was racially motivated but I’m simply appalled at the terrible service and the terrible attempt to make it right. This place needs to be closed down if no one wants to give actual good service.

I had an overall good experience here at this location. The staff members were very friendly and welcoming. Not just with my table but I could see and hear how they interacted with the tables around us. The food tasted good and came out fast, fresh, and hot. Unlike most places the salads here were fresh and I didn’t have to pick out rotten pieces. If you’re looking for something fast and simple (but not too simple) I’d recommend coming here!

We ate some osaka dinner on Friday night for my husband's bday. As much as I love osaka and their food was yummy.........it was a horrible experience. We were there 2 hours bc everything was so slow. I ordered a drink and got something that was no where near what I ordered. Charged for a pop I didn't order. Husband ordered an extra side of noodles. Didn't get that but was charged for it. Our server was rude. Dismissive. Walked away while people were still talking to him. Forgot our apps. We had to get new one bc it was cold. My sis in law has a shellfish allergy. He literally walked away when she was explaining it needs to be separate when brought out. Seafood cannot touch her food coming out either! Cooked last. Had to go to the manager to make sure she wouldn't die bc of the shellfish! He told a couple at our table come on come on when ordering. On top of this. 15% gratuity added to every check. 3% card fee. And if u bring a kid over 3 it is mandatory to order a kids meal. Which they're 12 to 15 dollars a piece. Definitely not impressed. Even with a 25 dollar off coupon it was 90 bucks and the experience was terrible.

This was by far the worst experience for me and my kids, this was supposed to be a fun little birthday dinner for my daughter and it turned out to be a disaster. My girlfriend didn't get her white rice till the very end of her dinner I had to reach over and give her some of my fried rice cuz they forgot all about her. And then at the very end they throw in gratuity for almost $20 and charge you an extra $3 if you're using a MasterCard what are you been telling me that there is a fee when using a card, Will not be returning at all!!!!

We had a horrible experience. Sat at table 15 minutes or more waiting to order, that is including drink order. Waited another 30 minutes to get drinks. We were done with the soup (which had no flavor) and salad before we got our drinks. Chef went to the wrong table and started to prepare our orders. Another chef caught the error and was able to obtain our meat but there was not enough fried rice. We were not even done eating and the waiter was bringing the check. Said he was going to comp my glass of wine because he forgot to place the shrimp tempura appetizer. This location also charges their patrons for paying with their credit cards. Never going back.

Ok firstly, we were trying to meet up with our party at the OTHER Osaka and had gone there first. So we had a drink before realizing the error. It was very busy at the Riverdale one and the manager over here said he'd give us a discount if we drove there rather than make our group come to us. So that's how we ended up at this Osaka, which we had never gone too before.
My first comparison: the bathrooms. I went in both because we drove an hour and I gotta pee. So I got to try out both Osaka bathrooms in the same night! This one was sooooooooooooooooooo much nicer!!!!! I can't say that enough. It is dark, sparkly and clean. Very roomy, tons of space for extra people to wait if necessary. NOT AT THE RIVERDALE ONE. So much smaller and just weirdly shaped. No room to wait if necessary whatsoever. Ugh.
Second comparison: the atmosphere. This Osaka is more modern feeling with a darker lit room and more blues and grays. The Riverdale Osaka is more themed and brighter with reds and golds. Both are great depending on preference! But crowd wise?? This one was no wait, no crowd at the door, just..... Nice. It was a nice atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Loved it.
Final comparison: the staff. Riverdale was much busier but the hostess continued to walk away and did not take names or numbers or anything as we waited. The bar staff was fine but the hostess really came across as distant or... Unapproachable. Now enter "Jimmy". Jimmy, or as he chose to be called, was the manager that said he'd give us a discount if we drove to THIS Osaka despite that we had been waiting for a good while already at the Riverdale one. And Jimmy was ready for us! He sat us immediately with a very friendly, very inviting personality that was spot on for his job title and role. He nailed it from then on. He checked in regularly, make sure the food was good, apologized profusely and took the blame like a champ when the white rice came out nearly last, and finally, Jimmy went above and beyond at the very end of the evening. Not only did he honor his agreement and give us a discount but he gave us a coupon that is basically a BOGO for a hibachi dinner. Which is nuts to me. But then he asked us who's driving tonight? And then proceeded to make sure that we were drinking water or that more water be brought out. No one has cared about my safety after dinner like Jimmy did last night. No one! What a thoughtful guy! Such a nice, simple thing to ask a group after dinner! It made my whole evening a thousand times better for him to have asked that. We found out later he's not the owner, he's the manager on duty but wow. Just wow.... Jimmy you are such a delight!! Thank you for a great evening!!

Avoid at all costs if you have gluten allergies. After clearly providing our server food allergies the sushi roll we ordered included crunchy breading inside & on top. Also ordered a side order of hibachi steak, but was brought the meal that came with noodles, soup, and salad that I didn’t want. The server said a side order of steak was only for children which is not mentioned on the menu. Server even up sold me a side of fried rice which I actually wanted since I wasn’t expecting the meal.

Food was just okay but ambience and service were bad, one star at best. They have a compulsory 15% gratuity on all dine in orders and another 3% extra charge for using a credit or debit card to pay. Absolutely unbelievable!

One of my favorite spots to eat. Whether I’m on a date or with the family we love this place.

First time at this location. Nice atmosphere, food was great as well. Chef was awesome! The servers however keep reaching over our plates to fill water cups or grab bowls or items we didn’t need. I thought it was fairly rude due to the fact neither the two said excuse me, nor can I grab your items. Then reaching over someone’s food as well. That just put me in a different space.

I ordered a filet mignon steak hibachi dinner to go last night, along with a side of fried rice. I was getting a special dinner for my husband since he was not feeling well. I specifically asked for medium rare and emphasized it, when I got home which is less than 10 min away, the steak was beyond well done. I called them and they offered a credit for the meal. I called today and he remembered my order, and the credit. But then he said they are just replacing the steak. After I said that is not what I was told, he agreed. We went over my order and how it should have been thoroughly. I waited, got home and it was chicken instead. I called and the person that answered was super nice but she was new, she said I would get a call back from him later. I didn't. I went in my fridge and grabbed the fried rice that I bought yesterday, heated it up and took a bite. It was disgusting and rotten.. I didn't notice until after I had taken a bite, which I am so grossed out right now. The rice is slimy. This rice I bought yesterday and refrigerated right away. This is the exact situation that happened. At this point, I don't even need an attempt to fix the situation. They are serving old food. Rice should not go bad in 1 day. Especially refrigerated. I will add pics of my overcooked steak and my old rice. I certainly hope I do not get sick.
When I had called that they didn't even give me the correct food to fix the order to begin with. I specifically said that, at this point I don't even want anything any more, I am just genuinely wondering why they gave me chicken instead of steak since the steak is the reason they had to give me another meal to begin with.
The reason I am making this post is because I just had a bite of slimy rice!!! How despicable. Have more care about the food you serve that are put in our bodies. Don't break the trust the name osaka has by serving old rotten food.

WORST SUSHI EVER. Bland. Flat. Stale. Old. No zest. No bright colors. I wish I had taken a picture. The ginger was even flat, boring and stale. I should have read the reviews before spending one penny at this place. It was my birthday lunch which made it even MORE disappointing. I wish I could give a negative rating. Run away..run far away yayyyyy from this restaurant. Riverdale Road location.

I can give an unbiased and honest opinion that this customer service was great, Andy and JJ Truly provided dinner and a shows. Archef had thirteen years of experience and his father is also in the business and is certainly showed. If you come with 8 people, you can all enjoy a show. Otherwise you will likely be sad with some others who you can enjoy your show with. Portions are very generous me. My wife and I went here for date night and had plenty to take home

I would never go back here. This is just my experience. They had weird rules around the Groupons we wanted to use to begin with. Our server was really assertive with us & seemed bothered by us. The food was gross, besides the shrimp was big & pretty good. But the whole table ordered medium rare steak and it was basically well done. Noodles & rice were gross & flavorless. The chef was nice and the server was sometimes idk it was strange. Bathroom was gross & dark with one sink barely turning on. The whole place just felt gross and the food spoke for itself. I only say this so others save their money. Go to the Osaka Riverdale, wayyyy better!

I LOVE Osaka and this location is by far my favorite. Great servers and always love having it be not so hectic! However only reason it's a 4 is because I am one to be alone and by myself a lot and I am so sad and disappointed that I cannot be seated at the hibachi cooking tables as a single person. I understand not having a show for one person, thats fine I get that, but if the single person is willing to wait to be seated with a couple or group, then why can't they? It would be the same as having 3 people seated at the table in a group of 3. So why can't I? I have also offered to pay ahead and give my order and order 2 plates of food. I very much enjoy left overs that I can take for lunch the next day and that would be the same as having 2 people as well. They always say I can go into the dining area but I have never had good food that way. Its like the food they serve there is food thats been sitting on the stove for hours and just served in bulk to whomever orders it. It's rarely ever fresh almost always cold and this isn't just this location, its every location. I just want to go in and get the lovers for 2 meal for myself cooked fresh in front of me without needing to drag someone else with me.

Really poor pathetic service. Since they levy a mandatory gratuity, servers don’t bother treating customers well. Our server was quite rude to us.
Food was served randomly - main course came first, sushi and appetisers later. Thankfully we didn’t order desserts, they would have come before main course I guess.
Food wasn’t bad. We spent ~80 on a meal of 2 - we ordered one appetiser, a sushi roll, two entrees which was more than what we could eat so we took some leftover food to go.

I went with my friend and the food was not as good as normal. Some of the veggies were particularly overcooked well, being perfectly cooked at the same time , and I have no clue how it's possible. They automatically put a 15% tip on your order. We were given free food that we did not want or order and then the server put his hands in the free food and ate it trying to show us how to eat it, so it wasn't touched. I got the Steak and Shirp Habachi, and I asked for my steak medium-well, and I got it over well to where it almost felt like shoe leather. My friend ordered the sushi entree, and it came at the end of the meal, so we asked for it to go, and the server said that maybe next time they should have ordered a smaller plate of sushi. And they now charge fried rice separately from the hibachi. The only good thing we got was our two sodas free. So in the end, I only tip 24 dollars and some odd since between their monitory tip and the how much you willing tip and with that size order it's normal 30 dollar tip from me.
