Editorial Review for Osaka Japanese Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
Small groups and couples fill petite tables throughout the slightly worn in, comfortable dining room while sushi chefs chat up neighborhood locals lining a wood-topped bar. Japanese prints adorn wood-paneled walls and high ceilings make for a spacious feel. Expect a leisurely dining pace: Servers are sweet but slow.

The Food
Sushi dominates the menu: Albacore tuna is light and buttery and the sashimi appetizer offers a platter of colorful, beautifully arranged strips of fish. Specialty rolls are simple but tasty, including the Balboa, yellowtail, avocado and green onion; and the Golden Gate, salmon and asparagus wrapped in seaweed and rolled in tobiko. Traditional specialties include tempura, udon and teriyaki dishes along with Japanese-style stews like Yosenabe, seafood, chicken, veggies and yam noodles cooked in dashi broth. Desserts, like green tea ice cream wrapped in pound cake and deep fried, satisfy sweet cravings.

I am rating the wront restaurant. Please disregard. This is a mistake. Do not read this review. Sorry.

Pros: Food

Cons: Service

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

04/25/2007 Posted by crewkip

This place is awful! The fish does not taste fresh, the rice is hard as rock, and the the higher end roll (like the rainbow) are complete rubbish. Other sushi joints like Ebisu, Hime, and Sushi Tani are miles ahead of this place. It may be cheap but there is a reason for it. The service is also a complete joke. I sat down for my meal but asked for another roll mid-meal. It took over 20 mins to get this roll and when I asked where it was I was told it will come and that the chef does not like to be pushed, he will get cranky. Are you kidding me? I am amazed how a place like this has a higher rating than Ebisu. It just doesnt make sense. If this was on any street other than Fillmore it would be well below an 8.

Pros: ummm.....it serves sushi?? and delivers, I didnt get sick the next day.....

Cons: parking, taste, service, variety,
