Less thrilled with their Thai offerings. Perhaps stick to more the Chinese and japanese/sushi menu items.

What a great value and go-to neighborhood spot! Been driving past this place for years and im sorry i have, because this place is worth a stop. Great specials/lunch specials. The sushi was surprising highly quality at a good price. In an easy to access shopping center with parking, comfortable, clean spot with modern decor. Whats not to like?
Most sushi places serve decent rice, but the rice here? Next level. It actually made me nostalgic. I stopped by today just to try a few things since I’d already had dinner earlier. I ordered the Tuna Cracker, Habachi Kama, and an Avocado Eel Roll.
The Tuna Cracker was a total surprise—the rice underneath reminded me of a dish from my childhood back home. Where I grew up, there was this way of cooking rice where it’d be soaked in special oil (vegetable or animal fat, depending on the region), then pan-fried until crispy on both sides. One bite, and you’d get this explosion of fragrant rice, rich oil, and crispy texture. And guess what? The rice on this Tuna Cracker was exactly like that. Honestly, the tuna (which was good, don’t get me wrong) almost took a backseat because I couldn’t stop eating the crispy rice block underneath.
I got the Avocado Eel Roll because it’s such a simple roll, but that’s what really tests a sushi place’s skills. The rice here was perfect—not too thick, not too thin, with a strong nori flavor (most places just wrap the seaweed inside without much taste). The avocado chunks were big, but they didn’t overpower the eel, and the sauce was just right—every element in this roll was perfectly balanced. I’d go as far as saying this roll could beat any sushi I’ve had across a dozen states in the U.S. So yeah, I’ll definitely be back to try their other rolls before making a final judgment.
The Kama was today’s special—lightly grilled and topped with fish roe. What set it apart was that it wasn’t dry like at other places because they added a light sauce. And honestly? It worked. The shredded radish underneath soaked up the tangy, savory sauce and the fish’s juices, making it super tasty.
There’s a sushi spot in West Ashley I used to frequent (if you’ve seen my other reviews, you know which one). But based on the quality and technique of what I ate today? This place just dethroned it. I’ll have to come back a few more times to confirm, but first impressions are strong.
Oh, and after the meal, I made sure to tell the chefs how much I loved their skills—especially how they blended Japanese sushi rice techniques with a touch of Chinese influence. I even complimented the owner. Seriously, this place is special.
Our favorite for almost 2 decades!!! So happy they have reopened the dining room and sushi bar post pandemic….we’ve missed you!!!
Osaka has upped their sushi game. Leaving tonight we are so happy with their continued pride in their sushi. So delicious
