Everytime I'm in town my boyfriend and I make sure to eat here. Not only is the staff friendly but the food is amazing. I'm not sure what the other reviewer is talking about because the fish has always been fresh and fabulous. I've probably eaten here well over 10 times now and I don't plan to stop. Their Osaka, Mt Fuji, and other 'specialty' rolls may not be super authentic, but definitely yummy! The sake is good, the free appetizer is always good and its convenient. Go there!

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.

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 expensive, especially considering how much rice it was rolled with. Also, your options for the lunch combo meals are not very diverse.

Left with a lighter wallet and heavier stomach full of rice and dry sushi. BOOO!

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 Sushi King even when I've spent the same amount of money. Sushi is always very fresh. Food is always cooked to perfection. What I really like about this place is that they seem to focus much more on the actual quality of their food rather than pretentious atomosphere and lighting. Sushi restraunts are turning into a trend but this place keeps it centered around the food.

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 group. Not only do they have great sushi, but their large-bowl soups are good too. Their crunch rolls are delicious and love their sashimi- I say, try it all. I've been to other upscale sushi restaurants in Houston where the prices are too high because they have awesome food presentation, but only mediocre sushi. Osaka is very affordable- You may not get your caterpillar roll order presented looking like a caterpillar, but it'll still taste great. For the price, service & free compliments you get, Osaka is definitely worth the visit.
