Osaka Japanese SteakHouse

The sushi chief on Friday night on 11/8/2024 out did himself! It was absolutely amazing 🙌 The display and the taste !! Indescribable artwork ☺️ 10/10

I love sushi, which is why I decided to come here. Unfortunately, the sushi did not meet my expectations in terms of taste. Given the high prices, I expected better quality. On the positive side, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant.

I will gladly die on this hill, OSAKAS is the best hibachi Joint in Michigan. I live deep on the west side & i come to Clawson because Peter & his family & staff are simply amazing. The food and drinks are Always on point

Great hibachi restaurant. The food is excellent and the portions are huge. The service is friendly, prompt and cheerful. Most of us took home food. The atmosphere is pleasant. We were happy with our visit.

Our chef was amazing. The prices are a little on the high side and the gratuity for large groups is ridiculous.

Just went out as a girl's night with my friends we ordered D3 with steak and fried rice with shrimp. Note the shrimp was raw and rubbery the fried rice was okay. The steak was well done when we wanted medium well . - it seemed like we were also in a hurry to get out. The waitress was not paying attention while grabbing our receipts during closing time . No music at all . I highly don't recommend coming here .

PROS: Chef Casey was the best, and he helped to make my husbands' birthday a night to remember. Thanks for great hibachi and laughs Chef Casey. CONS: The sushi was just OK, the pop is horrible, the lemonade is better, and the 18% gratuity is automatically added for 5 people or more but it's not that bad.

I had the chicken shrimp and steak with one cup of rice and noodles so good that onion soup slap too I forgot these spicy shrimp rolls things called but they was good too good service they stay on top of everything

I've given Osaka multiple chances, hoping the experience would improve with each visit. Unfortunately, it only seemed to get worse, particularly with the quality and consistency of the hibachi chefs. While I understand that each chef may have their own style, the drastic variations in taste were disappointing. On several occasions, the rice was overcooked to the point of being crispy, making it unpleasant to chew. The most recent visit was by far the worst. This location relies heavily on garlic butter, which I generally enjoy, but the amount used was excessive. By the time my food was served, it was drenched in a thick layer of oil--nearly half an inch deep--which completely overpowered the flavors and made the meal inedible. My partner and I were unable to eat more than a few bites before feeling unwell. Although the manager was kind enough to offer a replacement meal at no charge, the damage was done. Both of us felt sick for days afterward due to the overwhelming amount of garlic butter in the food. I've been enjoying hibachi my entire life, but this experience has left me unwilling to return to Osaka. Consistency and balance are essential in hibachi, and unfortunately, this location fails to deliver on both fronts. I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experiences.

Came here with my coworkers on a Sunday, it was super slow which was nice for us (party of over 10 people). Drinks were yummy, especially the leeche cocktail, LOVE! Great selection of beers as well. Onto the food, I would say it was a bit expensive, I spent over $60 for my meal and I believe I chose regular steak (which was extremely tender). Overall, nice experience, the table I was at loved our food but the other half of us said their chef made their food wayyyy too greasy.

Found this place on Yelp! They have plenty of accessible parking and an elevator to go up the the stairs on the inside. Service was great and some we came at a weird time our food was prepared quickly. The food was delicious! I ordered the hibachi steak with fried rice. I was given the vegetables, noodles, soup and salad as part of the meal. I definitely think it's one of the better hibachi restaurants in metro Detroit. The ones I use to go to went downhill since covid. So check this place out!

Food and service were great. Creeped out by the man that stood and watched two of the chefs. He did not watch the Asian chefs.

Last night, my boyfriend and I made the decision to go to a Hibachi restaurant because we were craving Hibachi food, so we went to this restaurant. There were two individuals who were hosting or hosting. I informed them that we are deaf and unable to hear at all. I caused the young white/Mexican lady with black hair to laugh so hard when I told her we were deaf. It's very disrespectful for her to laugh so loudly in front of me and my boyfriend. It is important for her to develop the skills of being polite and respectful towards people with disabilities. It doesn't feel comfortable for me to be there. I used to go there all the time and I had a love for their food and sushi until now. It's a major disappointment for me to hear that they'll laugh when you're disabled. I instructed them to utilize the Note app on their phone to communicate with us. Although the man comprehended me, this lady is laughing so much it's as if she's about to cry and laughing in front of me and my boyfriend.

When we arrived we were promptly seated. We sat in the Hibachi side. Our waitress was perfect. We had to wait about 30 minutes before our chef arrived. We enjoyed watching him cook our food. Our portions were big. We will each get 2 additional meals. The atmosphere was nice. We watched a birthday celebration. It was a great experience and we will return.

We eat at this restaurant at least once a month. Normally Ken takes care of our table of 6-7 usually But he has retired a really great chef we ate there last night and every one ordered the D3 which is our favorite, Every thing was delicious except the filets were supposed to be med rare came off the grill well done. We did not have them recooked but this was a major flaw in our dining experience. Everything else was good, servers, so polite. And your staff always on point.

Super tasty sushi! I ordered take out, and they were very busy on a Thursday. This was my first time ordering and I will definitely try it again. The Friday night roll was the star for me. Warm and crunchy, flavorful and great sauce. I ordered the hibachi noodles based on a Yelp suggestion & I liked them, but I am excited to try other hibachi items instead. I recommend for sushi in clawson area. :)

Took the whole family there. Seven in total so we had the table to ourselves. Took my son for his birthday we got the steak and chicken, wife got the chicken, father got the salmon, mother got the chicken and shrimp everything was good. It was the best experience I've had at a Japanese restaurant even tho most of the cooks were Mexican lol still good tho

This is one of the best hibachi places in Metro Detroit. Food quality is good, the flavor is good. Nice Hot Sake. Leftovers even tasted good which is rare.

their sunday morning sushi roll is pretty good, the service is always nice, very polite people and i love the ambiance, i go here every so often, this is my go to sushi spot for sure.

Osaka offers some of the worst service and food imaginable for the price, especially if you go in the evening. Hands down one of the most terrible dining experiences I've ever had and the owner should be ashamed about his management at this establishment and how he conducts business here. My waitress was fine but the kitchen staff even managed to burn Miso soup. This place is worthless and you should spend your money anywhere else. Sincerely hope you go out of business!

I came here with my family for a hibachi dinner. The weight wasn't too long. It was quite busy, but they were able to see us fairly quickly. The staff was really nice and the service was very prompt. It did take a while for our hibachi to start, however our appetizers and Sushi items came out fairly quickly. The hibachi chef was really nice and funny and presented a wonderful show. He was accommodating to keeping the ingredients separate for our allergies and was cognizant of what ingredients were going in each menu item. once the hibachi was completed, we were able to enjoy our food and relax until the restaurant closed. The food tasted really good and felt that everything was cooked properly. The sushi was fresh and tasty, and the portions were very generous. The ambience was somewhat dark and felt like it was too to see anything around the restaurant. The noise level was not too bad I was able to have a conversation with the whole party. I would recommend this place for anyone in Detroit looking for a fun, relaxing, hibachi experience. I did find the price to be a little bit more expensive given the area however, for a special occasion, I can see it being justified. Looking forward to going there again.

Went for mother's day after Kyoto's was booked out. Was able to get a seat fairly quick. Compared to other hibachi grills, this one seems to be the least flexible in their menu. The chef did not seem to want to be there, and was rushing the food and overcooked my family's food. Even the noodles were burnt, chicken and shrimp dry, and veggies were charred. He was not generous at all with teriyaki and garlic butter. Took a while to get a refill on a glass of water. Restaurant was giving out roses to mothers, and everyone seemingly got one except for my own mother. All in all, I won't be coming back or recommending this location. I will stick with the likes of Kyoto in Clawson.

I haven't been this disappointed in hibachi ever. Everything was served out separately. Rice. Noodles. Vegetables and protein. By the time the steak and shrimp was put on the plate 90% of it was cold. I wouldn't eat here ever again. $100 wasted

Few things to say about this establishment... right off the bat the service rubbed us the wrong way. We had a reservation of ten for our friends birthday - five of us arrived 2 minutes early, but were told we had to wait for the entire group to be there in order to be seated (mind you there was only one other table sat, it was a Tuesday evening). The wait staff was slow to get everything done (especially our checks). The hibachi chef was very kind but there was little entertainment - we go to hibachi for the entertainment right?? If it was just for the food we could sit else where!! It was our friends birthday and they didn't do any saki, vegetable toss, or their version of singing happy birthday. Oh and on the topic of food, I got home and realized my chicken was raw (see photo). This was after I returned home and checked out my left overs. If I could offer any advice it would be to go to Kyoto in Clawson which is a quick 1.4 mile drive away.

Great food and the staff was super nice. It is very noisy though so it's is hard to talk to the entire table. It is also very smoky. I wish they had better ventilation. Overall still a great experience and you will always leave with more food.

My first time at Osaka and it definitely didn't disappoint! The sushi was great! It all tasted very fresh and the sauces were perfect. The hibachi wasn't my favorite but there were good parts. I am obsessed with the noodles, rice, and veggies. It was so flavorful! Next time I want to order just the hibachi noodles I am seriously still drooling about it. The steak however I was not a huge fan. It was very bland and felt a little overcooked. Next time I might try the shrimp instead. Overall, the sushi was so good I definitely will come back! The ambience was great and we didn't have to wait on a Friday night.

Delicious and plentiful hibachi dinners. Place a bit dark. I like the fact that tables are well spaced and you don't feel crowded even when restaurant is full. Two sides to restaurant. One side has bar and sushi menu and the other has the hibachi tables. There are three restaurants like this in the area. Osaka is definitely the best of the three.

We had a reservation at 7, but didn't get seated until 7:25. Not the worst, but what's the point of the reservations then? Food was good and the chef was really nice! Although, we came for my boyfriend's birthday and they did nothing for him -- that was super lame and disappointing. I would maybe come back for a lunch deal, but I wouldn't come back with a group.

Besides for tossing the knives around at the very beginning and tossing some shrimp into my husband's mouth, there was no "show". With that being said the food was delicious and the chef was very accommodating to dietary needs and went above & beyond.

Way better than the chain hibachi restaurants. This place wins hands down. The restaurant is festively decorated and spic and span clean. There is lounge seating or grill tables for the full hibachi experience. The are so many apps to choose from. We tried the shrimp tempura, veggie tempura and soft shell crab. various sake mixersThey have a nice cocktail menu wuth lots of choices. My favorites are the sake mixers like the White peach passion with cold sake and peach schnapps. Yummy! Next onto the main course. I had hibachi salmon and shrimp and my friend had chicken and shrimp. The lunch portions are huge and felt much more like dinner sizes. You will need a to go container and you will tickled by the finishing touch of the folded to go bag reminiscent of origami. If you like clean restaurants with good food and drinks and excellent service then I'm sure you will like Osaka.

I have never been to a Japanese Steakhouse, but remember the Saturday Night Live take on them. (Really dating myself aren't I since that was in the 1970s). So when the Meetup group scheduled a dinner, I looked forward to seeing it live. You do have to ask for a grill table, so remember that when you call for a reservation. We lucked out and they could seat our party of 7 at one. I will admit that social distancing between chairs didn't happen, but we tried. The soup and salad course came out while the chief was gathering the ingredients for the main entrees and show. It was a show starting with an onion volcano moving to fancy knife work. All entrees get rice, noodles, and veggies. The chief looked at his meat list to get the correct meats to the correct person. He did mess up and give me chicken before he gave me my shrimp and filet mignon. Other dinners got salmon, scallops, or ribeye. The amount of food you get lives lives up to the tales you have heard. I got a nice meal with the soup and salad along with some of the entree. What I took home made 3 more meals. While the price might seem high to some, the quality, the amount of food, the the entertainment you get seeing you meal being cooked is worth it. Glad I got to try this and will be back sometime.

Very clean and the chef was fun and good. it looks like the better value is lunchtime.

So happy to see Osaka opened a location in Oakland County! The hostess stand had a note that said, "all parties must have everyone inside the building to sit down - all reservations are honored for 15 minutes! No exceptions." So that is good to know. Beautiful interior! The cherry blossoms and rich wood. The place was clean and welcoming. Our waiter was great - attentive and friendly. The whole staff was great! The sushi menu was vast and had tons of options. But I went with the hibachi lunch special. The miso soup and salad were excellent and great start of the meal. Good amount of dressing with the salad and the soup was hot. The hibachi shrimp was delicious and came with noodles and veggies. Great portions, especially for lunch. White rice came with lunch and I got a side of the yumyum sauce - so good! You can upgrade to fried rice for an extra $2.00. All this food for just $13! Free refills on pop. We had a great lunch and absolutely will be back!

Absolutely the best!! Delicious food and great chef!! Highly recommend!!! Chef was very entertaining and cooked to perfection!!! We'll definitely be back

My hubby went with a group of friends several years ago, there were 4 peeps altogether. They had the half roll on that particular day. Split a couple of fire cracker, california, spicy salmon, dragon roll, double crunch roll and a few others. Only ate the sushi and everything was good. Didn't try any salads or apps. It was a great deal at the time for a party of 4. Will be back if they still have the half off sushi special again.

Always a great meal prepared at your table. Our grandson enjoys the chefs that prepare our meal each time that we visit. The wait is longer when you do not call ahead for a reservation but they do have a very nice bar area to relax while waiting. We eat here on a regular basis. Enjoy!

Our waitress gave me a sake that was already opened and drank out of... because my sister was the one to return it 10 minutes prior. Regardless if she knew she was related or not, you don't give a USED drink to any customer. I'm paying for a whole drink. Especially post COVID. They also didn't do anything for my sister's birthday which was upsetting. The hibachi chef didn't even ask if there was a special occasion. We even did cheers to her birthday to make it known too.

I came here for dinner with a meet-up group at the end of July. I have been to Hibachi restaurants before and most of them since I went Gluten Free. I read reviews here and on Find Me Gluten Free app prior to RSVPing to the event. This is definitely one of the better options for getting Hibachi and being gluten free. You have to make a reservation but you always have had to do this at Hibachi restaurants unless you come at a weird time. The tables were socially distanced from each other but not necessarily at the table. So basically, they aren't using all the tables but you can still put 7 people at a table. We were 7 at our table so we were a bit tight together. We had been pre-approved to have separate checks which were done at the time of reservation. I was able to order pretty much everything (if I had wanted to) with a little modification. I went for Hibachi Salmon which I had not seen at other Hibachi restaurants. My salad has to have a different dressing which is fine because that is typical. Pasta comes with your order and this was definitely an item that I could not have because they only had wheat pasta. However, you get so much food, I really didn't miss it. Being gluten free, your food is cooked in the back on a separate cooking surface. All of my food came out correctly and hot. I got enough food for lunch the next day as I had purposely eaten lightly that day. I will definitely be back!

I was craving Hibachi, and my usual place I go to is still not open for dine-in that is right by my house. Getting take out hibachi is kind of awful, so it forced me to find someplace new my new go-to. I found this place that was only about a mile farther. I was a little worried in the beginning because my waitress seemed to be very overwhelmed. Then I found out that they were short-staffed. So I get it we are in this weird time. I need to point out that I didn't sit at the hibachi table. Tho I love the show but trying to social distance. My food started coming out, and I have to say it was delicious. I think this is about to be my goto hibachi place. I am planning on coming this weekend and getting sushi. If you have not been here, you really should check it out.

I came here tonight with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday - it was last weekend but I was out of town. I pass by Osaka every day on my way to work and I love hibachi, so I had been wanting to try it. We had a 6pm reservation and were sat immediately, albeit at the hibachi table closest to the door (which, on a cold day like today, didn't bode well). For some reason, no one else was sat with us, which was fine. The table next to us had a ton of children, too, who were well-behaved but a bit loud. We started with a California roll (yes, I like "white" girl sushi.... I'm not super adventurous with sushi) which was fine. The soup and salad was brought at the same time, after that; the soup was a beef broth and very good, and the salad was good too, with a peanut sauce. I also had a pot of green tea. The hibachi chef was personable and cracked jokes. He also did the trick where he tried tossing tiny pieces of shrimp into people's mouths (not mine, I don't usually like seafood). I had the filet mignon with fried rice and my boyfriend had the NY strip steak. All of the food was very tasty here, though the fried rice was a little salty, and service was very quick - because of that, our meal barely lasted an hour. Between that and the boisterous kids at the table next to us (obviously not something they can control), it felt less like a special birthday dinner and more like a "hurry up and eat" type situation, even though service was excellent. I kind of felt rushed although they made no move to kick us out once we had finished eating. (And before you ask, I didn't mention it was my birthday dinner, because someone else there WAS celebrating a birthday, and they got drumming and also were sung to, neither of which I wanted, LOL... though their ice cream sundae looked nice.) I would come back here for hibachi although I looked at their lunch prices and they're a little pricier than others (Sakura, Kyoto) in the area - about $11-17 for hibachi, $17 being filet mignon. For dinner, the filet was $25 and the strip steak was $21, and fried rice was an additional $3.

Came here on a Sunday night with my mom and boyfriend because we heard good things about it. We sat down and a waitress immediately asked what we wanted to drink even though we hadn't had a chance to look at the menus yet. We quickly chose drinks and they came out very fast. The waitress was very attentive but when we asked for suggestions, she didn't really have any. We decided to share some sushi rolls and some entrees. We got a spicy tuna crunch roll and a spicy scallop baked roll. Both were really good but everyone preferred the spicy tuna. I got the vegetable udon which came with 3 huge pieces of tempura vegetables (onion ring, sweet potato and green pepper) on top and mushrooms and seaweed in the soup along with the noodles. I thought it was absolutely delicious. My mom and boyfriend split a bento box with teriyaki beef, shrimp tempura and ebi shumai (basically shrimp dumpling). Everything was super tasty! I chose 4 stars instead of 5 just because I wasn't super blown away by the food. The service was great although the waitress could've given us more time to decide and more suggestions. It's a nice atmosphere and a big place!

One of my favorite hibachi spots. The food was so fresh and so tasty. The staff are all so friendly and the service was pretty quick. We did not sit at the hibachi table but still had a great experience. Large portions and fairly priced.

We were seated promptly, BUT, (1) the waitress stood on one side of the hibachi grill and handed us our salad instead of walking around and placing it on the table, (2) the waitress also tried to serve us the soup from the other side of the table and told us to "be careful, it's hot." Amazing. A family member took it from her before I could explain to her that she should place the soup on the table next to the diner. (3) the cook left the rice on the grill too long such that it was hard. One little girl called it crunchy and he cracked a joke. (4) the chicken was cooked too long and (5) the steak was cooked too long. (6) The cook left fat on the chicken and on the the steak. (7) the cook did not scrape off the meat remnants from the grill. So, it just sat there and burned. I dont understand. We just ate and left (although we enjoyed being together, but not the food). I spat out the meat a couple of times in my napkin because it was too tough. I think it was deliberate or he just could not handle a full table. I should have asked for a discount. Just tell us that you do not want us to come back. We enjoyed Mother's Day here and decided to come back with the Dads. I guess it's hit or miss. Good luck.

We enjoy this place at least once a month. Hibachi is wonderful, sushi is delicious with lots of choices, and really great apps.

Totally apathetic service. Very weak draft beer selection. Only craft choice was Magic Hat #9. Although, it was good. Why not any Bells or Founders? Sat at sushi bar. Two sushi chef's completely ignored us. Maybe they don't speak any English and were uncomfortable chatting? Walked over from newly renovated Comfort Inn next door. Next time I'll go elsewhere. I had shrimp tempura. Not what I wanted. Boring. But servers were not inclined to offer alternative suggestions. Loud, large group in front of bar area seemed to consume staff attention. Kinda pricey too.

Outstanding. The location on Hall rd was booked so we drove an extra 40 minutes to go here. Way, way better than the Hall rd location. Much nicer, full bar and way nicer staff. All this and great food, steak, shrimp, chicken and my dish-swordfish that I made my granddaughter try and she called it "amazing."

Not the best experience I've had. TBH, one of the worst. We waited an hour to be seated. The hostess forgot to turn our grill on so we had to wait 30 min for it to heat up. There was ABSOLUTELY no social distancing in place. Our chef used ENTIRELY too much Soy Sauce. The credit/debit card machine went out, so we had to scurry up cash. THEY OFFERED TO WRITE MY CARD NUMBER DOWN AND PROCESS IT LATER (I'm almost positive that can't be legal). And to top it off the manager didn't have the decency to come over to our table and give an acknowledgment of the service. Just a blatant disregard for customer service ALL AROUND. Needless to say, I probably won't be back!!

Had a very unfortunate situation at Osaka tonight. We were asked when we ordered if anyone had a seafood allergy I let the waitress know and My husband as well. The first mistake was I ordered double veggie and he did not give me double he actully gave me less then the others which was odd. I let it go though .Then my sons GF was burned with oil when he threw full eggs on the grill into a pile of hot greese. He saw that it got on her and did ask two times if she was okay. After dealing with a rough beginning I thought once everyone started eating it would get better. NOPE !!! The cook was cooking the chicken and steak when he tossed on sword fish next to the chicken Id be eating. He went to serve me the chicken after using the same utensils to flip the meat and add butter ect. I told him I have an seafood allergy and told the waitress. He says oh she didn't write it down. He asked me if after he was done if I wanted him to re clean the grill and cook my food . We sat down at 8:30pn it is 10:16pm. We were out with our kids and NO i don't want to wait to finish cooking everyone's food and then cook mine over . We would have been there another 45 min. I'm sorry but these things need to be taken much more serious . You can KILL someone. I asked the waitress when she came to see how dinner was if she wrote the allergy and altered the cook. She was upset and said yes i did . She brought the ticket to show me . So now I have a cook LIE to me and almost serve me somthing Cross contaminated. To make this night even worse . The waitress came back with the bill and says I'm sorry he lied I'm going to go yell at him . She says I let my manager know what happened . I look at my bill assuming I would not be charged for food and my dinner I couldn't eat due to poor service and the fact I'd be sick in the hospital . Nope charged FULL price. No manager to at least say sorry he will address the issue and to not take it off after i couldn't even eat the damn food . I'm furious that after a $315 dinner I have to go home and make somthing when I should be going home to bed. What should have been a nice night out ended up HORRIBLE !! If you have an allergy please stay away from here after seeing the carelessness that I did his evening and no acknowledgment of the mistake . I have no issues paying for a good meal I've paid this for one meal it's the customer service and the food you pay for . This lacked booth.

Good food and nice portions. One of the best hibachi restaurants in metro Detroit. Check them out

We've been here 3x now, twice for birthdays for our teenager and each time has been fantastic. Service is great - the place is new and clean - and chef Ken is the best. Funny, entertaining (he cooked for Bill Gates and the Prime Minister of Japan) - and the food is excellent. A+.

Went here with my family, got the Hibachi table and everything. Good food and GREAT portions. So much food. Got the C1 and had plenty of leftovers, and for me, that's doesn't happen often

You're definitely paying extra for the decor, as it's the nicest hibachi in the area, but the food is mediocre compared to Shogun or Kyoto. It is still definitely better than Benihana. Service is quick and efficient, would be worth it if prices were less.

This place was really good. It's a gem down the road. I'm always looking for sushi or seafood to try out and this place did not disappoint. It's very nice and clean on the inside, prefect for large groups, has private parking, as well as great service. Everything is also priced fairly

If you are looking for hibachi in Clawson Michigan this is the place for you! Portion sizes were large and super tasty! The chef shared with us that the scallops were his speciality and luckily that was what u had ordered! Will be back for a date night soon

Over rated! Over priced! Bland food! Bad server experience! Definitely not coming back When we entered, there was no host. We had to walk inside and look for someone to show the way to our table. The short blonde server was not helpful. Asked for dinner plates because we are sharing a meal. She hesitated. We had to use the saucer. Its an awkward moment eating rice in it. Eventually my husband had to stand up and demanded a bigger plate...geesh For the bento box, paying $16 is totally not worth it! The chicken was pounded thinly, and cooked with no flavor. The shu Mai is not home made. The hot stone beef needs seasoning. Not going back.

My boyfriend and I come here very regularly. The staff is always so friendly, the food is always great and we always have the most amazing chef Ken. I definitely recommend asking for him if he is available!

Here's my question, is this a steak house or a sushi spot? Because this place is NOT the place for sushi. Maybe the noodles & other menu items, but the sushi is just a joke. It has 0 flavor and you can tell there isnt an actual sushi chef in that kitchen, the rolls arent tight nor are they flavorful. The best thing on their menu is the carrot cake. If you want a drink or 2 and a desert come here, otherwise go to an actual restaurant if you want good food, you wont find it here
