About: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 something "on the house"such as free dumplings, special roll, or green tea ice cream. You'll want to return!

    Great place...I take clients there all the time. The service is excellent and the sushi is fresh. This is the only place I've been to where the smoked salmon sashimi is actually 3 bites per piece. They really give you what you pay for. They also give you a free appetizer and a scoop of ice cream on the house. The Crunch roll is out of this world. I highly recommend this place.

    I search out Asian restaurants in Houston and went here after reading these great reviews. I will have to say that I was not so impressed. Although there were a lot of people around, the service was less than attentive. The desert was offered by the waiter to the man next to me as "on the house". However, when I ordered it, there was a charge. The food was ok but average. The restaurant was clean and nice inside but was less than half full at lunch; a bad sign. I might go back for a fish dish but I saw so much seafood being left out without any refrigeration that I am concerned about that as well. Perhaps this place has changed hands because every Asian I spoke with was Chinese and not from Japan. I suggest that you try this if you are in the area but don't go out of your way.

    first at all, is that a first time been there, or that is first time you try japanese cuisine?? it is too early to judge, first at all, i know there are some servers from there are japaneses. and food are great, maybe not for the cowboy. all the seafood is actually refrigerated, that showcase on the sushi bar right front of you is a huge refrigerator!!! that is nice enough that they give you appetizer and desser on the house, they will definitly charge you when you order it, what is the strange about that???.

    Lots of cowboys in Texas so you may have the wrong one pegged.

    I agree 100% Sweet. Let's not judge cowboys "think g". Definetly a poor choice of words on your part being that we are in Texas. Also very defensive, must work there or own the place. By the way it's "first of all". I for one, have never been, but going tonight with my entire family for my daughters 18th birthday. It sounds like John may have gone on a off night or perhaps having a bad day himself. Have just heard too many great reviews to not give it a shot.

    Im Never LEAVING: This is the BEST Sushi place I have ever eaten at. I go here at least once a week. It is worth every penny. The food is fresh. Everything I have ordered there has been 100%. I have taken many people there and they take people. I have not heard one negative comment. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND OSAKA. And it is good for any occasion.
