Osaka Japanese Steakhouse

Marita 3 months ago

I normally love this place and have been there so many many times. But this last experience was horrific. We went there for lunch sat down and they told us they don’t serve from lunch menus anymore so they gave us dinner menus and the prices were heavily inflated. We stayed and ordered anyway. The waiter took our order, then went and we watched him get his own food from the kitchen sat down with the manager and they ate while we waited. Finally, a hibachi griller came out to prepare our food. He was fine and the food was good. But the atmosphere was bad. We were the only two in the restaurant the waiter never came over to refill our drinks never to check on our food to see If everything was OK. he continued to sit there and eat his lunch and laugh and talk with the manager. You could tell even the hibachi grill person felt awkward for us and kept trying to make small talk as he watched the other two restaurant personnel eat their food. Finally, after we ate, the waiter came over and asked us if we needed the boxes and then gave us a check. We paid and prepared to walk out, walking directly past the manager and the waiter who are still sitting there eating and talking and drinking.

This is our favorite hibachi in the area. Service is usually really good, the chefs are entertaining, and the food quality is high. This visit the service was a little lacking when it came to drink refills for the table, but it was pretty busy for non-peak hours. We all ordered hibachi and I ordered a side of octopus nigiri. All food was cooked to specification and correct temperature. Everything was seasoned really well. The chef was super personable and made sure we all had a good time. Not pictured was the sushi, as I forgot to take a picture before devouring the two pieces. If you're local to the area, make sure you stop in. Military Discount: Yes

What an awesome Japanese restaurant!!!! The food was outstanding and our server was great. The place has excellent vibes and the prices were good. If you're in Dayton and craving Japanese food, make the journey...

⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Decent food, but prices are hard to justify Tried Osaka in Beavercreek recently. While the food was mostly good and service was attentive, the prices made it hard to feel like it was fully worth it. Our server was quick and seemed to genuinely care — we even got a water refill at exactly 4:32, which was a nice touch and showed good timing. The chicken katsu came out piping hot with a generous portion and plenty of sauce. It was satisfying, but again, a bit expensive for what it was. The Osaka roll was fresh and overall pretty good, though it did have a slightly fishy taste that threw it off a little. The seaweed salad had great flavor and was very fresh, but $7 felt too high for such a small portion. We tried the mochi too — great flavor, but $6 for just two small pieces is a tough sell. Overall, Osaka offers solid food, fresh ingredients, and quick service, but the pricing doesn’t quite match the value across the board. Not a bad experience, just not one I’d rush to repeat.

Came here for a sushi dinner, not hibachi, so this review is solely from ordering off the menu. Atmosphere: dark, run down, a portion of the back was all blocked off for repair, and when we walked in 3 employees were trying repair a light issue right above the sushi bar. The booth we were seated were all ripped and table with stickiness on it. Food: extensive menu, mostly standard items for sushi restaurants, we ordered sushi, sashimi, tuna and mango bites which were pretty fresh; soft shell crab had good flavor but a little over fried; yakitori, came out with large chunks and heavy sauced definitely NOT Japanese style and the chicken came out dry; spicy tuna phoenix was ok, nothing too special just spicy tuna wrapped with avocado and the plating was a bit messy; pork gyoza came out with poor presentation and tasted so-so. Maybe my standards are a little different from others, as a foodie who has traveled and tasted many authentic Japanese restaurant. This restaurant is shame to be called a “steak house” nor a good “Japanese restaurant”. I ordered a hot sake, and it came out warm, NOT hot, and deflated, tasted as the alcohol was already half evaporated. Service: the lady who ser
