Dee RamirezAugust 5, 2012Been here a few times with family. Excellent food and service! Love it. Teriyaki Chicken is excellent for those scared to try something new.Upvoted Feb 19
Danielle BrownNovember 28, 2012The 'hot' curry is decently spicy, so stick with mild if you don't want to be sniffing. Also, the ebifurai is a (really big) deep fried shrimp, not a more lightly battered tempura one. Delish!
Burcu UçaraySeptember 5, 2015We went as a group. We had sushi, tempura, fish, yakiniku. Everything was delicious. Have no idea why it has such a low rating.
J TOctober 10, 2017Surprisingly good place, and rather cheap. The udon plates are nice, particularly the croquette plate. Lots of vegetarian options.
Chris SarandosAugust 21, 2011Outstanding lunch special! Huge bowl of ramen soup and a 6 pc California roll for 12 bucks. Fast and friendly staff too. I'll be back again.
Kris LNovember 8, 2011Love the #1 lunch special - miso (or shoyu) ramen w/ side of chirashi. And don't forget a bottle of Hana Awaka!
There are some fancy secret vegetarian rolls not in the menu. Ask your servers.
- Mafer HNovember 8, 2014Avocado sushi rolls are amazing! Service was disappointing the second time I went.
- curry rice, grill salmon, unagi, shrimp tempura roll, veggie roll, super dynamite, oyster croquettes... ;)
Best place to eat in all of Japantown!! The staff is quick and friendly!!- Alexis AnselmoApril 28, 2011ask for salmon katsu curry, it's not on the menu but they'll totally do it!
Meghan CollinsJune 11, 2009Hiyashi is cold, drained ramen topped with shreaded cucumber, carrots, egg, and sweet pork (chashu). Osakaya just made this a summertime standard for me!
Stephanie Palma GilOctober 30, 2017What a disappointment. The dashi on the agedashi tofu is fake. The chicken yakitori is disappointing. The miso soup is diluted. The list goes on. Good service though.
- ask for a deep fried philly roll and get the cheese ooozing awayy
Tim RoccaOctober 30, 2010Don't come in here if your white. Even though I was here first all the other all asian tables were helped first.

"If you feel like splurging the scallops are so good! Always get the chicken fried rice instead of steamed and order a sushi roll for an app. I never get full off the regular meal."
