Osaka Japanese Restaurant

Great food. Typically sushi fare, but extremely fresh and great presentation. Staff was very nice.

I ate there for the first time last night. Ordered me the sushi deluxe.
1. The place was empty on a Tuesday night at about 9pm in winter, hence service was exceptional. There were several customers who came for to go orders though.
2. The decor is not fancy but clean. I’m here for the sushi.
3. I looked at the preparation table. The fish was organized. Neatly. No concerns here.
4. The meal: Salad with carrot ginger dressing was as expected with other similar salads in other restaurants. Taste was on par.
5. The Sushi: No fishy smell which I always look out for. Good proportion of fish to rice. The rice itself you could see individual grains not a mush ball. I’m no expert in determining precise age of fish but the fish did not have the mushy feel of old fish.
6. On par with my go-to sushi restaurant in Manhattan. Though being in NJ I would have expected slightly cheaper. Moot point in my review.
7. This apparently from other reviews is BYOB, which I did not know at the time nor had intention of drinking alcohol with my meal.
8. Would I go again? Yes. I will probably try when it is busy, see if service is as good as when you’re the only one in the restaurant.

Great food. Consistent quality and excellent service. My girlfriend and I enjoyed a good sushi dinner here after a nice day on the beach. The place is well lit and cozy. Great staff and owners. There is indoor and outdoor seating options. Great place to go on a date.

The best businesses are owner operated.Osaka is a perfect example. Consistent quality, nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Sushi deluxe is my favorite.

I was so surprised this was located a few blocks away and I never knew it. Ordered take out last night and it was amazing! Fresh & as ordered. They have some amazing rolls!! Don’t miss it!!
