| - While visiting family for the holiday my niece convinced us to eat here. We sat at the teppanyaki table. It was about the same as any other restaurant of this style - volcano, choo-choo, flip food into the mouth of the diners, egg roll, whatever. I ordered some serviceable nigiri and a vegetable yakisoba. People were nice. It was all fairly standard, though what peaked my interest was how the menu went a little further beyond other restaurants of this type, offering things like curry rice, katsu, and a variety of creative appetizers that offer interesting spins on more common dishes.
At the behest of my niece I ate at Osaka AGAIN the very next day, so I got a chance to explore a little bit more. There was a tuna nacho dish that had ahi tuna topped with a tomato-based salsa thing that wasn't great, but I was a real fan of the cucumber salad, a hefty serving of cucumbers tossed in a simple ponzu sauce. Altogether there was enough to Osaka to make me a fan - even if a lot of it is the same type of food that can be found at a lot of teppanyaki places, they go above and beyond to offer interesting alternatives if you want more than grilled shrimp.
