"for some reason osaka has not been crowded in the past couple years, but i have found the experience consistently excellent. it's my go-to place when i want a convenient place to spend a special occasion (or just a lot of money). :) even if sushi isn't your thing, they have lots of other tasty japanese/panasian fare, suitable for all tastes."

"Went to celebrate my brother's 50th birthday. The service was good but the server (male, tall) needed deodorant. Unpleasant as he was leaning over us to serve the food. It didn't damper the event and esxperience though! A great neighborhood gem and hope not too many people find it but want them to do well. The specialty sushi was out of this world! Had nonsushi eaters with us who found their selections to be quite pleasing. I would highly recommend this to all of my friends!"

"We love Osaka! We are sushi lovers, and have tried every place around town, and out of town. We have found that Osaka is far better than any sushi place downtown. Well worth the drive to Chestnut Hill! Service is amazing. Robin, the chef is such a pleasure and is incredibly knowledgable about all things sushi!!!!"

"Don't get me wrong, the sushi is top notch. But don't overlook the entrees. The Seafood Tobin Yaki is one of the most delicious Japanese dinner entrees we've had. Anywhere. Enjoy."

"We hadn't been to Osaka in 7 years! It is right in our neighborhood and where we had our first date so we decided to return. We were not disappointed! There are so many great places to eat where we live it is easy to not go back to a certain place...We won't make that mistake again. Food and service was stellar! Great valentines date."
