on Judys Book Aug 01, 2011I am Japanese, so I know what I expect for sushi. There are so many Japanese restaurants in town, but Osaka is the only authentic Japanese restaurant.Some people complain about warm sushi rice, no vinegared rice,... (more)

on Judys Book Feb 12, 2011Osaka is one of the closest restaurants to our home, about a mile away. We have been regular customers, at least once a month, for more than five years. Osaka is our kids' (11, 14, 16 year-old boys) favorite place to eat.... (more)

on Judys Book Jul 14, 2009Don't be fooled; bad, bad, bad. They combined my order with another's and then remade mine but charged me again. Nori is old, wet, stale, tough, choking. More staff than customers. 3 sushi chefs and no one talks to you... (more)

on Judys Book Feb 15, 2009Horrible organization on one of most busy days for restaurants-valentines day. This is ONLY the managements fault. Jenny was the manager and didnt know how to take down names for seating. She was running around... (more)

on Judys Book Dec 10, 2008For sushi in the midwest, Osaka is excellent. I've had sushi all over the country and Osaka's sushi is very fresh and good quality with good service. The decor and menu aren't trendy or fancy, but they put all their... (more)

on Judys Book Nov 08, 2008The warm sake was diluted. The tuna and salmon rolls were served at room temperature. Every roll was falling apart, as it appeared no overlap between the ends of the nori occured when rolling. Somehow, the rolls... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 07, 2008I travel frequently to Japan, yet don't expect American sushi quality to match it. However, I know what bad, good and excellent sushi is. We were told the volcano roll would take "a very long time" and is $20.00. The... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 30, 2008We have eaten here a couple of times. The sushi is very good. We have been to Japan and it is equal. They also had good soup and gyoza. ... (more)

on Judys Book Jun 11, 2008The staff is absolutely the best in Columbia. We always feel very welcome; a home away from home. The food is impeccable each and every time. We have been dining there for years ... if only we had more expendable income I... (more)

on Judys Book Jan 28, 2008I lived in Hachinohe (Japan) for over five years and have an extreme affinity for Japanese food. I don't really think it's fare to compare Osaka to the to the food I experienced in Japan, but it certainly ranks as one of... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 23, 2007I've been to Japanese restaurants all over the US, I've been Japanese restaurants in Japan, and Osaka ranks among the very best. It's a little bizarre to have such genuine, extraordinarily good Japanese food in... (more)

on Judys Book Oct 27, 2006Bring your fish-reluctant friends - there is more to the menu than sushi. Hold a special dinner party in the tatami room! The freshness, quality and selection have never once disappointed us over the years. A prime... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 19, 2006I've been going to Osaka for several years now, usually in extremely large groups with my Japanese class. We've had excellent service every time we've gone - even in parties as large as forty people! The staff... (more)

on Judys Book Jul 23, 2006There's no comparision - in price or quality. Osaka is the best. Great personal service, the price is outstanding, and great atmosphere. We've never done the "hibachi" tepanyaki because we can't get past the sushi.... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 19, 2005I have been going to Osaka for many years now and have never been dissatisfied with their service. The owner Jenny and her husband remember me every time I come in and have since my very first visit in 1996. Jenny always... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 19, 2004This Japanese restaurant is the greatest. It has not only awesome sushi and japanese dishes it also has a mongolian bar-b-que. Highly recommended (more)

on Citysearch May 20, 2004This restaurant is much better than the overall rating would suggest. We lived in Columbia for 3 years, and Osaka is at the top of our list of restaurants we crave in a town full of great independently-owned eateries.... (more)
