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

Only sushi restaurant I have gone back to. – I have tried several sushi restaurants, Osaka's is the only one I have been to more than once. Their super tuna is awesome, you can't go there and not try it. They always give you extra items on the house, which are as good as the items you order. I have never ordered anything I didn't like here. The staff is friendly and prompt. I have been there about 10 times and I have not had one experience that was not great. I highly recommend people try Osaka's.

Don't waste your $$$ – I have been to this place twice. The only reason I went back a second time was to see if perhaps I had chosen the wrong thing from the menu the first time. Both times the sushi was not fresh, was dry, did not taste very appealing, and they rolled it with way too much rice. I had lunch there both times and each time they gave me a crunchy roll taster on the house before my meal came out, so that was nice, but that was the only thing that was nice about my experiences here! The sushi rolls are too expens... read more

Best Sushi in Town – I love this place. It has some of the best sushi I've tasted in Houston. The fatty tuna is simply amazing. The staff are very friendly and wear kimonos which is kind of cool. It is not a big place so it is easy for the staff to make their way around to you and help you with anything you might need. For larger groups there is a tatami room that you can eat in for a tiny bit more money. They always give me appetizers and deserts on the house which is something I haven't experienced at other restraunts like... read more

Excellent Sushi for the Price & still get On the House – A friend recommended this place to me and am always pleased from start to finish. Nice, cozy ambiance makes it a great spot for friends and family. The waitstaff wear kimonos and are always cordial and smiling. My first visit there, I was given on-the-house sushi and ice cream thinking it was for first time visitors. But, I've been there quite a few times since and the free treats still keep coming; It's awesome. I've never had to wait for a table, even with a large gr... read more

Huge portion of sushi and sashimi – They have the largest portion of sushi and sashimi I have even seen. The quality is so good. They charge reasonably on the special order on sushi roll and hot dishes. The Miso dressing is excellent.

Cheap quality sushi – I have heard many good reviews about this place and just had to see for myself whats the big deal about it. place is really tiny and very friendly. the service is really slow even on a slow night. but for the sushi it wasnt that good. the fish wasnt fresh and i felt like I was cheated. The rice was really wet and mushy seems like they added alot of water when cooking. this place isnt even top 15 in my book. I guess what alot of people are just going crazy about this place is the cheap sushi prices. Thin... read more

Best Sushi in town, hands down. – I've been to nearly all the top 10 places in town, and Osaka has the beat on quality and price. The atmosphere is great, and the services is very friendly. The sashimi is the freshest around, and the rolls are delicious. I feel the only con would be they favor the american style rolls with fried crunchy bits a bit too much on the menu. However, navigating past those to the more authentic and traditional items brings you to the best items. Be warned, your meal will often come with something o... read more

Very tasty sashimi and rolls – The food here is excellent and the waitstaff is friendly. I was very impressed by the size of the sashimi pieces; seriously 2-bite pieces. The rolls were not cut completely however, and that made for a less than convenient time picking up the rolls. Maybe they need to buy new knives? The scallop appetizer featured two very plump scallops that melt in your mouth. Overall, I was pretty happy with Osaka and will likely visit again.
