Of all the sushi I've had, across the country, this is my favorite. I go here at least once a week, sometimes more. I’m addicted to their fresh, flavorful salmon nigiri. My favorite rolls are the Charleston Rolls (tempura salmon & cucumber inside, tuna & dynamite sauce on top), but the chefs are creative with their rolls, and lately, the... More

There has been a strange history in this restaurant... It seems to be on the tired side of good now...though they are about to open a second one in North Charleston. Used to be terrific Chinese food. This time, i asked about two things that used to be on the menu and no longer appear: Peking Duck and Fried beef... More

I live not far from this place and go there as much as I can. Osaka might not get alot of attention because of all the other sushi places in Charleston, but one visit and you will be hooked. There are a few things I always get such as the philly roll, spider roll and the honeymoon special which is... More

I've been here twice. The first time the service was slow, and the food was only alright. I had expected more. We ordered To Go one day, and myself and another co-worker order the Miso Soup. It was nice and warm, but after I started eating it I started to feel sick and stopped. My coworker ate all of the... More

I hate to say it but, what once was one of our very favorite old reliables, has slipped in both kitchen quality and service. Right now, it has two good things going for it - it's in our neighborhood (close by) and a relaxed, quiet atmosphere. The food is hanging in there, but not with the old fireworks. And the... More

I thought this place had the best sushi value in the city when I lived here for 1.5 years and being away for 5 years only reinforced that belief on our return visit this week. Their special rolls and salmon belly were particularly AMAZING this time, alongside the Osaka staples - crunchy rolls and James Island appetizer, this place is... More

I eat at Osaka almost weekly. The sushi is fresh, carefully prepared and presented. Since I eat mostly sushi I can only say that from the Chinese menu I have never had anything I didn't enjoy. The servers are wonderful; they are friendly and know what they are serving. I find the prices to be very reasonable. If the lovely... More

My sister and I used to go to/order take out from Osaka quite a bit...until recently when she got a nasty bunch of food poisoning from their shrimp tempura roll/ crunchy roll. She was totally fine before and shortly after dinner...and a few hours late not so much. I called them to let them know what happened and they were... More
