I've been to Osaka multiple times. Their food is consistently great and always fresh. I always order the avocado salad with extra dressing and the salmon teriyaki bento box lunch special. The green tea and miso soup warm my soul. If after all the food, you're in the mood for dessert, go for the green tea ice cream.
Dining in is alright. It's always hard to get the server's attention. Place isn't even that big. The wait time for food is a bit longer than usual because they're making your food at the sushi bar. The few times I've been there, the food wasn't so consistent. Had a bad experience once with stale tempura in my sushi. Not good. But usually, the food's good. The portion of the dishes are great for the price.
I ordered party platters…and they were delicious!! Other than the 1 bad time and the wait time on the food for dine-in, I'm happy with this place.
Their food is not that great, it is overpriced and delivery takes a LONG time. I would try it again but in the restaurant opposed to delivery.
very high quality sushi & extremely reasonable prices at this queens eatery, super fresh offerings from start to finish and one of the best spicy salmon rolls i've ever encountered…only complaint is one i have at many sushi joints which is the lack of fresh brewed iced tea – why they can make green tea like it's going out of style but can't figure out how to pour it over ice is beyond me, they have snapple but i'd prefer the real deal…otherwise it's all good at this very nice sushi spot
Excellent!
I've been here several times over the past few years; it's really close to where my mom lives and it's our go-to sushi place.
The fish is always fresh and they have solid cooked food (for the stepdad that doesn't do raw…he gets a hibachi platter that's stacked with generous portions of shrimp, steak and veggies…plus a side of fried rice…and soup…).
Last night I kept it simple – a little bit of sashimi and a few rolls to share – salmon/avocado, salmon/mango and asparagus. The pieces are pretty big but the ratio of rice is nice – not too much like a lot of sushi places.
The service is always extremely friendly; there are a couple of girls that give my mom a hug when she walks in. It's really cute.
I'm sure I'll be back there again…we eat there every time I visit.
Always a favorite. This place never disappoints. Whether we dine in or take out.
Try the Fancy Lobster Roll, it will change your life. No need to thank me. Also their Kani salad is better than most places.
Before my wife and I moved into Little Neck, Queens, we have never heard of Osaka before and it wasn't till the day we decided to order in that we realize crap, there were not too many good Japanese cuisine options around our area! So we decided to go for the best one rated on Yelp- Osaka
I had only gotten delivery from this place so this review will be based only on the food and delivery experience.
We ordered the Alaska Roll, Eel Avocado Roll, Spider Roll and an order of the Sashimi Regular combo.
The order took about an hour from when it was ordered to delivered. I guess it wasn't too bad since we probably a good 15 minutes' drive from the actual restaurant. The delivery guy didn't ask for extra tip and politely handed me the food.
I immediately opened up the sashimi combo, it was filled with 3 different types of fish (very generous amount)- Tuna, Salmon and yellowtail. I tried the yellowtail first since I don't think I had too many fresh yellowtails before. The yellowtail was AMAZING!!!! You can taste the freshness even if you never had sashimi before! And the tiny bite size scallion complimented the fish so well! Just perfect! After that I know I'm in good hands, it can only get better from this point and I was RIGHT! The salmon and tuna were both extremely fresh, melts in your mouth good, make sure don't waste good fish in wasabi, just a little bit (very little) of soy sauce will do!
The Alaska Roll was just as amazing since the salmon was so fresh! It was very clean tasting along with the cucumber in it. The Eel avocado roll was average, it wasn't bad but just couldn't outshine the extremely fresh Salmon/Tuna/ Yellowtail.
On the other hand, I do appreciate the Spider Roll very much. The soft shell crabs here are made to order, you can tell because it's not rock hard when you bite into it unlike a lot of other places. It's very flavorful and not drowned in eel sauce so definitely a plus!
Prices are great! The regular rolls are around $5 each and special rolls are around $8- $10. The sashimi combo came out to be $16 but it is worth every penny!
Who would have ever guessed that there is such an awesome sushi place in the Oakland Garden area in Queens? Not me, but thank you Osaka for making me a believer! I will be back again!!
Osaka is officially one of my favorite sushi spots in NYC. The sushi here is not only good, but it's reasonably priced. I ordered the following rolls: Dragon, New York, Golden Dream and Shrimp Tempura.
The Dragon Roll consists of eel and cucumber wrapped with avocado and caviar. The New York Roll is a shrimp tempura roll with the addition of eel, cream cheese, scallion and tobiko. The Golden Dream, which they actually spell "Gloden" on the menu, is another shrimp tempura roll, but topped with mango. As I'm writing this, it's dawning on me that either I really like some form of shrimp tempura rolls or Osaka makes a lot of different shrimp tempura rolls. I think it's both.
Four rolls for under $40 in any borough is good. Not to mention, the quality of the sushi is amazing. If you happen to be in Queens and you're in the mood for sushi, try Osaka. I would've given this place five stars, but I think I need to come at least two more times before that's the case.
There is off-street parking available, but it is extremely limited. I was able to get a parking spot across the street from the restaurant, which was better for me because I was then able to hop right on the Grand Central from there without having to make a u-turn had I parked in the lot.
