This review is based on the Teppanyaki side of the restaurant. I made reservations for New Year's Eve only the afternoon before for 5 people at 5pm and even added one more person last minute and it was so easy! I was concerned because I had called Benihana, Ah-So, and Sapporo - my usual go to's but since it was New Year's Eve and last minute none of them could get me in unless it was super early or super late! I am ever so grateful for this because that's how our group ended up at Osaka and we enjoyed our time there!
Our teppanyaki chef was so awesome! He handled our friends' mischievous kids like a boss and for once they didn't have their faces buried in their phones because they were paying attention to our chef!! They were so impressed by his juggling and fire handling skills! The best part of it all is that my Beef filet and lobster were cooked to perfection. Typically, the other teppanyaki places I mentioned always cooked my filet too long and it ends up chewy because they're so busy entertaining too but our chef last night kept my filet medium rare! The fried rice wasn't too salty - I know that depends on the chef. I feel bad because I think he said his name was Jin or Jim but it was so noisy, it was hard to tell! We will definitely try to request him next time we return!
