Really solid, reasonably priced hibachi. I hadn't been to Osaka since I was living in Lynchburg for college 18 years ago. At the time, it was one of my favorite places. I was afraid that after traveling the world and eating at 100s of delicious Japanese/hibachi restaurants, I would come back and be disappointed. But I was not. I STILL LOVE THIS PLACE The food is delicious and the prices are so reasonable. It was certainly great to be back and great to see that not much has changed

I had been to a lot of Japanese restaurants, but none of them were like Osaka. They got the best teriyaki chicken in town. I highly recommend them. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Definitely one of my fav restaurants of all time. The service is usually quick and ready within 15 mins on a good day. My wait usually ends up a little longer since I order for a few people at a time. Amazing food and very nice family business. They have a handful of hibachi entrees and sushi along with multiple appetizer options. Bonus-they sell large dip containers full of yum yum sauce Check it out if you haven't!

Every time I am in town I make sure to have Osakas at least 3 times. It’s the first and the last food joint we hit. I’m from the west coast and there isn’t anything like the teriyaki chicken or sauteed vegetables. The marinade on the chicken creates this nice caramelization that adds a nice texture. Not to mention the yum yum sauce, we still haven’t found a replacement. I recommend to everyone.

I love their General Chow Chicken and with excellent service. Always provide the best meal to their customers. Their chicken taste remains me the old Chinese Restaurant I use to go to every time before it was close down, Shanghai. Highly recommend giving their food a try

I love getting takeout here. Its always delicious and good portions. If you eat in they give you way more food. They gave me a coupon for a percentage of if I return in a week or two. When I ordered online.

Osaka has been my go-to Japanese hibachi spot for several years now. I’ve heard some complaints from others here and there but my experience has always been positive in terms of quality, quantity and service. Keep in mind this is only about their hibachi menu specifically. The salmon is the GOAT. It’s 12 but in my view it’s worth it for what you get in return. The salmon portion is huge compared to portions in their chicken and steak offerings and you get broccoli
