Food was amazing and service was totally amazing too. We will definitely be back. The filet mignon melted in your mouth. The fried rice was the best I’ve ever had. The kids said the chicken and shrimp was awesome too. Everything was amazing. The guy cooking was super fun too and put on a good show. Also our server didn’t let our drinks get down past a couple of inches before he filled them back up.
Also the place was nice and super clean.

NOT KIND TO (vegan/vegetarian) CUSTOMERS. HARASSED BY HIBACHI COOK. FOOD BAD.
My husband and I went for our two year wedding anniversary, and we left livid. I myself am vegan, whereas my husband is mostly pescatarian, and we love Japanese food. We have never had an issue anywhere until we tried Osaka's restaurant.
First, aside from my being harassed by a man I've never met before, who's only job is to cook the food I paid an OBSCENE amount for ($55 for two hiachi meals? Way better places around the area than Osaka)...
THE FOOD WAS BAD.
-Drenched the rice in soy sauce
-Soaked everything he cooked in tons of butter and oil
-Shrimp was undercooked/bad? Hubby says it tasted like dirty water...? To which he then had a terrible stomach ache the rest of the night.
-Noodles were greasy and tasted... different
-Salad was drowning in ginger sauce, to the point where it was inedible.
I asked for steamed rice instead of fried rice, and my request was ignored. Second, my husband found a huge hair in his shrimp??? Next, as the cook was serving out the main dish (i.e. for my husband, it was shrimp), and I told him I wasn't going to pick off my husband's plate for his shrimp, he noticed my order was just veggies. He then continued to harass me about how I "should eat cows because they're vegetarians" and "if (I) eat cows, I'm just eating vegetables, since they're vegetarians". He continued to laugh and make jokes at my expense even after he surely noticed I wasn't laughing and was just staring at him in disbelief, shaking from anger. He went on still, after a couple minute break (when I thought he was done...) to CONTINUE TO HARASS ME for my lifestyle... "you won't eat a cow, but you'll drink their milk?" He didn't have any smart comments after I told him I don't, in fact, drink cow's milk.
In the end, after all his taunts, he would not stop until I actually glared at him... but even then he just laughed and gave a half-assed apology ("Oh. Sorry, ma'am. I was just joking"). NEVER... have I felt so uncomfortable and alienated in a restaurant before. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Not only was the food mediocre, but the service was down-right DISRESPECTFUL.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. My husband and I placed a to go order while on vacation from tampa. I ordered a tempura and far east roll. What I got was a roll with onl y the seafood. None of the other items which were supposed to be on them were. Tempura was just a piece of fried shrimp. The far east only had a piece of imitation crab meat and shrimo. To top it off the shrimp I'm guessing were not deveined as there were really thick hard black pieces if something in all of them. I called that night and complained to the manager Linda or Laura can't remember which as I hope to forget the experience and she said that I could come back and they would make a new one. I didn't feel like making the half hour trip at 10pm so I went up the next day and just at that point wanted a refund after the mysterious hard black pieces in the shrimp and after acknowledging me she helped three other people then asked what I needed. I politely asked for a refund and she said she couldn't refund from the previous night. I smiled and said "well I will be sure to write several "nice" reviews on my 6 hour drive back to Tampa.:) Oh and for the manager...this is Heather. MAYBE YOU SHOULD WORK ON YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

We eat here every time we go to Destin. The sushi and tempura are excellent!

I spent 5yrs in Japan while in the military and feel in love with the cusine. I was so excited to find this restuarant and thought it would be great seeing as to how the parking lot is always full and reservation are usually needed. The miso soup was chicken broth with spaghetti noodles, not remotly close to what it should be. The so called yakisoba was also spaghetti noodles ( belive me I can tell the difference between the color, texture, and taste) with no vegtables added or a yakiasoba sauce. As for the rolls they where high priced for imitation crab meat. For goodness sake we live where there is an abundance of fresh seafood. Come on now! Everything else was so bland that I dumped hot sauce and soy sauce all over. Not worth the price nor the wait. You can do better at home with a cookbook.

This place is very nice, a little pricey, but the food and service is well worth it!! I was very satisfied when i walked out. The chefs are very friendly and always willing to give you their best. If your in the mood for suishi, definitely check this place out!
