| - I am not a sushi expert by any means - much of my experience comes from Krab sushi found on many buffets in the area. And then there are places with things on their sushi that I am not really sure that I would like to eat if I knew what was on the plate, so it is not often that we go out seeking sushi.
But Osaka is a bit different - while they do have a focus on sushi, and it seems most go for the sushi, they also have other dishes (mostly noodles and hibachi items that you would find at your standard Japanese steakhouse). In fact, they are one of the few places around town that will serve up udon, and unlike the soy-saturated udon noodles at E in concord (which are tasty), these are glass-like noodles that are completely different but well worth the trip.
When it comes to sushi, you can order a number of items, and I will not pretend to know what is what. I will say that if you start ordering, prepare to be bombarded. Our first trip, we ordered a couple of rolls, some noodles and some rice and we ended up with plate after plate - almost too much to fit on the table. It seems that the more you order, the more you get. Not just what you order, but complimentary tasting dishes as well.
Staff here is friendly and efficient, so feel free to ask them about the dishes. In fact, you might need to do go out of your way to do so - it seems that they are flying around so quickly they may forget you. Your food will come out, but if you need anything else (like a drink refill or to add something on), it can be a challenge to get their attention. Other than that, they are quite a strip mall find. Well worth the trip, even if you are not in the area.
