My wife is chinese and I am caucasian and we eat our fare share of sushi so we consider ourselves informed critics. First after being there it took a long time to put in our order as well as for the food to come. Although the wait staff was very nice and respectful just a little slow. Not a huge problem. Another small complaint is the prices if it weren't for the free items was toward the high side. Our main complaint though was on the eel. We love eel and two different dishes had an extensive amount of bones in them. We order eel often and this had never happened at any other place. It must have been the cut of eel they were using. They cancelled those dishes without a fuss and gave us new dishes. Besides these two things the meal was very enjoyable. They gave us a free appetizer for an unknown reason that was very good. They also gave us each a free scoop of ice cream and fried bannana. I think that is a standard on the house item. The dish we liked most was the dragon roll and my wife really enjoyed the miso clam soup. Part of our disappointment was due to the fact we went on my wife's birthday and were hoping for an extra special night of great sushi and these reviews had raised our expectations. So don't go there expecting an unforgettable experience, but if you want a decent plate of sushi in a nice atmosphere it isn't a bad choice. Although I certaintly think there are better places and personally probably won't be a return customer.

I have been to Osaka several times and have always enjoyed it. The past week I had a bad experience. The rolls that we ordered were semi warm, chewy and the fish tasted old. What concerned me most was the fish tasted like it had been left out or was not fresh in the least. Since this was the first bad experience I will go back, but if it happens again I will not return.

Saw the previous two reviews regarding parking issues and cars being towed. Called the manager to find out if there would be a problem when I eat there this Thursday. He said the tow truck is no longer there unless called by Osaka. It used to watch to see if people were going into Osaka or another restaurant in the area. The manager said he felt bad for the past but there is no problem in the future. Just passing along my conversation.
