About this business

Sushi isn't just a style of preparing food; it's an experience in traditional Japanese culture. Osaka Japanese Restaurant satisfies every aspect of this encounter in a big way. Customers rave about the truly Texas-sized sashimi, as well as the exquisite taste of the other sushi. The service successfully combines professionalism with friendliness, and the restaurant boasts its cleanliness and ambiance. For a little privacy, reserve the tatami room complete with a low table and shoji screens. Don't be surprised to get a little... read more

Parking Issue – Saw the previous two reviews regarding parking issues and cars being towed. Called the manager to find out if there would be a problem when I eat there this Thursday. He said the tow truck is no longer there unless called by Osaka. It used to watch to see if people were going into Osaka or another restaurant in the area. The manager said he felt bad for the past but there is no problem in the future. Just passing along my conversation.

Do not go here – Don't ever go here unless you are walking. The whole parking lot is subject to towing AT ALL TIMES. Fight it until they change the sign. The sign is backward to the Stanford entarance and not at the correct height. This is NOT in accordance with Subchapter G Sec. 2308.301 laws for towing.

stingy owner – My friends and I frequented this place even though the sushi is mediocre at best and the service is sub par because of i's convenient location and infrequent crowds. We well NEVER go here again because the owner has cars towed for no reason. She thinks that the whole parking lot is for her customers, and for nobody else in the entire shopping center. After we ate sushi at her restaurant, we walked across the street for a glass of wine, and we came back to discover that our car was gone! When we inquired around... read more

Our favorite for sushi! – This is my favorite place for sushi! The owner, for years, has been such a gracious hostess in greeting people that come in, the only downside is that she is often at their second location now so we don't get to see her as much. I love the complimentary dishes that they offer. It's given us a chance to try new things and to find new favorites, and their ice cream is great! I saw a previous review that complained about the salmon being "too big". I've been to many sushi restaurants that give pathetic... read more

Perfect match: great food, good price; great service and atmosphere. – I love Osaka. The service is great, the chef's are great and fun, and the sushi is good. I love the phoenix roll, LA roll, dragon roll, as well my favorite sushi & sashimi. The fish is fresh and cut perfectly for me. And the prices are reasonable. I believe the food and price are perfectly matched.

Overrated_Underperforming – On htowntonola's recommendation we tried the 911 roll, Phoenix roll, and creamy wasabi roll. THEY ARE NOT AMAZING. Quite the opposite. The rolls are overly complicated with flavors that result in a tasteless blob on the palette. The beef suki yaki is mediocre and the fresh salmon is cut to big to enjoy, and I have a large mouth. The best thing we had were the free goyoza they provided and that's not worth a return visit. All in all it was an over priced, under performing experience. We will not be... read more

sushi is yummy, Osaka's Sushi is Delicious – I love Osaka. It is my favorite restaurant, period. I enjoys sitting at a table or at the sushi bar. I enjoy watching the chefs preparing the sushi. If there is something being made that looks tasty, I ask them and they let me know what it is. It is very helpful to someone like me who has only been eating sushi for a few years. They ALWAYS come by with something "on the house". I love it because I get to try something new with out a commitment to it. I LOVE the wasabi dumplings, e... read more

Good sushi serving size – This place is always busy. Appetizers are good. The Hawaiian poke is a bit spicy but the ramen noodles are good. Sukiyaki is good too! They always give you food on the house. Prices are reasonable. The sushi serving size is "everything is bigger in texas". Eat there quite often.
