One of Osaka's standout features is its extensive menu, which caters to a variety of tastes and preferences. From **sushi bar appetizers** like Tuna Tataki to tempting kitchen options such as Soft Shell Crab and Crab Rangoon, there is plenty to explore. The **rolls and hand rolls**, including refreshing vegetarian options like the Cucumber, Asparagus, and Avocado Roll, are not to be missed. According to customer reviews, the hibachi plates—which hover around $14 and come with delightful combinations—are particularly favored by guests. Patrons like Jack C. recommend the hibachi steak and the Shaggy Dog roll—both of which left a lasting impression.

Very quick and easy spot for lunch. Hibachi lunch plates are all around $14 and sushi specials are pretty comparable to everything else around. Most rolls have cream cheese in them, but everything we've had is pretty good. Would recommend the hibachi steak lunch plate and shaggy dog roll. Plenty of parking and quick service makes this a great eatery for a quick bite.

So good! I love their bento box! Chicken or steak, you can't go wrong either way! This place always hits the spot.

One of the BEST places to eat in/around Birmingham. The hibachi combo is always a must considering it comes with a California roll as well. The ginger dressing here is TO DIE FOR!! Always great service and food, can't miss!

This restaurant is so addictive. We can't go over a few weeks without eating here. I literally can't eat Asian food anywhere else. One restaurant our entire family agrees on. I can't say what makes it so good, it just is. We mainly take out but also eat in- We will occasionally try another place to make sure we are still correct, we are. Most recently we ate at Shiki in Homewood. Bland and no taste. We left disappointed. Osaka is just in a strip mall and no atmosphere but the food says it all.

Great food. I usually go here for the sushi. Never been disappointed. The service is also really good. Family owned restaurant with great food.

First time coming here. Just wanted to try a new sushi place. I was very happy with the service. I ordered the crab Rangoon and shaggy roll. The crab was good but it was fried kind of hard. The roll was delicious and everything was reasonably priced. I will be back!

Osaka restaurant appears to be possibly average on the outside, especially where it's located ...but oh no!! My friend, put me onto this restaurant and I have been obsessed ever since! Every time I go in the food, taste fresh, and so delicious. I love the sushi here as well! This place is like a hidden gem. My favorite is the salmon bowl. They will cook the salmon, medium rare if you like, which is how I get it and it's perfectly seasoned and I just also really love how perfectly cooked the vegetables are every single time. Make sure you check out Osaka's you will not be disappointed!

Our first time eating here and it was good. The services was excellent. Our server Love was great. I would recommend this again

Found another great sushi spot in town. Open during COVID19. Loved the spaced out seating area. Good service, fair prices, and great sushi menu. SO many to choose from. We had 4 great rolls: rainbow, red dragon, amazing roll, and spicy spider. Gotta say we loved them all and let no pieces behind! Beautifully crafted, delicious, and not overly priced. We also had the steak teriyaki dinner plate with vegetables and dumpling. Very good, although I'm more of a sushi person. I would recommend sushi goers to get sushi here! MMM MMM. Will definitely be back again to try more of their special rolls.
