Can you tell the Osaka owners why do the ladies bathroom look like something out of a horror film I have never seen a decent restaurant have such filthiness on the stalls.

Real question is why are you in the ladies bathroom Terry?

Oh! Don't go early, they will not set you til whole party there, and if you have a late arrival they will not server them!

That may be true for the Hibachi, but I doubt that would be the case for a regular table, which they have as well.

Do you make beignets?

No, but it would be a nice addition to the menu.

Would you return to a restaurant where your server didn't bring everyone at the table water, never asked if anyone needed refills, brought you tea and no sugar (to 2 different guest) . Was going to order a mixed drink, but couldn't find your server?

Well we had 5 star service when we went

How many people can be seated at hibachi both

They can do up to 12 at a table

Does anyone know can you order Hibachi to go?

Yes, you can.

Do you take reservations? I have a party of 5 for Saturday evening at 8:30pm

Yes they do

Regretfully tried this place because Sakura (which we love) had a long wait. That’s $75 in the trash. Feel bad for having my MIL first hibachi experience end up being so terrible.Service was bad. We waited 15 minutes before getting beverages & menus (which we had to ask for). The chef doesn’t do any of the classic hibachi show stuff. The whole vibe of this place was just blah. The place is dirty. Like filthy, dirty. They have old wall unit A/C units that barely work. It was warm in there. Everything felt “sticky.” MIL took my daughter to the bathroom and said it was disgusting. 🤢 The food was eh. Overloaded with soy sauce. And the way the food is handled is unsanitary. All the meat together on these trays that looked super icky. Hopefully we all don’t end up sick. 🤮 Spend your $$ somewhere else. Seriously.

This place has really gone down hill. It is old needs updated and the a/c was not working. We waited for 15 mins to get seated. They only had a waitress/ hostess. We will never go back to this location, and will go to auburndale location instead.

I used to love this place but recently they have been slacking off. The quality of service and food have suffered quite a bit and it is rather sad.

The restaurant was dark and outdated. There was old food still in the cracks of the chair. The food was good for the price not great. The staff had very little interaction with the customers. Zero entertainment value. If you want to walk away full and not spend to much then this is ok for that. Update from a year.. restaurant is still dark and outdated. Still very little interaction from a place that cooks in front of you. Food still night priced.

So this place is owned by the same people in Kissimmee and Altamonte and I think it's just as wonderful nothing has changed and you cannot compare any of them because I've gone to all three and all three have the exact same feelings in each of them and I appreciate that

This place was just kind of okay. The chicken was amazing as was the soup, but the salad dressing was chunky and not very good. You get either rice or noodles, not both, like most similar places would give you, and they don't really out on a show like other places do either. There was little to no wait time, which was nice. When we walked in the door we noticed the floors were slippery. Figured out they are just covered in grease. I was still sliding around the next day at work from all the grease that was on the bottom of my shoes! The place settings and plates were all covered in grease when we were seated as well. All in all, it's definitely authentic- family owned and cozy but given the option of a similar dining option across the street, I probably won't ever come back here again.

It was okay I guess. The staff messed up our orders many times (i was here on a group trip). The chef cooked with no enthusiasm, and the food was lukewarm. The food was decent, but the floors were sticky and restrooms were defiantly not pleasant. I suggest just going to Sakura down the street if you want a Japanese steakhouse/ Hibachi experience.

Not a place I would frequent. Good was ok except for the rice... not a fan of the sesame seeds they add. Chefs could use a little personality. Complete silence while preparing the meal. Server was friendly.

This place gets a negative 10. Please do not go waste your money! We went there last night for dinner and it was awful! The place is dirty and gross and the food was so bad I didn’t eat any of it! The kids hated it. They do not offer a true hibachi show even though they are charging high prices. Food had horrible flavor. The rice was disgusting. My steak gross and my husbands chicken was basically all fat and he didn’t even take a single bite! Horrible

I was very disappointed, we heard this was a good place and wanted to go. Our chef cooked with no enthusiasm or style, very sad especially when taking kids. Food was over seasoned and nothing to brag about. I would give it a second chance but there is another place right down the block that we have had a much better experience at.

I like this place. The food is good, the price is good for this style restaurant. It’s nothing fancy, no big show by the cook, he just cooks the food and serves it. I did notice last time I was there they only had low sodium soy sauce. I mean, what the point in that. Soy sauce is the salt of the east. The interior is dated but clean. Like a motel, I would rather east in a clean dated restaurant than a dirty remodeled one.

Our family has been going to Osaka in Winter Haven for decades! A fabulous family run hibachi and sushi restaurant with amazing food! Even though other hibachi restaurants have sprung up around the county, this is still the place we crave. They have a wonderful white sauce that we keep begging them to bottle and sell. They are worth the trip!

The rice in our sushi was stale. Nothing at all tasted fresh! The fried rice and noodles were so salty. The scallops in our sushi tasted fake. The steak was tough. Enough about the food. The inside of the restraunt is very old and musty. I'm afraid to know what the kitchen must be like. The bathroom smelled and was dirty.

My daughter loves Japanese steakhouses. We typically go to Osaka. However the last time we went the chef dumped half of my chicken on the table making it inedible. Today I ordered food to go paid to have white meat because their dark meat is all fat. Didn’t get the white meat I paid for and the rice and noodles tasted like they either had too much teriyaki sauce or they are burnt. Either way wasted 25 dollars and I still have to order food for my daughter to eat.

This place didn't stand out to well with me. The service was great but the food didnt have to much flavor while being cooked. Usually at any Japanese Stackhouse you get noodles with your meal. This place did not. We had ruched to order and didn't know if it was something we had to ask for. The cook seemed like he was in a bad mood or just didn't want to be there. I brought a friend that has never been to a Japanese Stackhouse and it was a bummer that it was an meh okay experience.

It was good a couple years ago.... now the inside is greasy, almost fell a couple times trying to walk. Ordered the steak and chicken with rice. Chicken wasn’t cooked all the way, RAW in the middle and I’m pregnant which could’ve hurt my baby.... steak was medium rare and i asked for medium well. Usually they cut the steak in slices, it was in chunks and very fatty. Would rather go across the street to sakura and pay a little more for it to be cooked how i like it or cooked at all....

This was the first Osaka location I ever went to and up until recently it was my preferred choice over the one in Auburndale. I still go to this one if I am in the area, but the Auburndale location is now more convenient and its quality has improved since its remodel. The Winter Haven one could do with a little bit of the same, at least appearance wise. The atmosphere and food is still great though :)

If I could give a 0 I would! Worst Japanese I have ever had. They don't give you enough food and want to charge you for every little thing. $1 for an extra egg in the rice. They only put one egg in the rice.

My family loves Osaka and we like to eat there regularly. The staff are all very nice and they know the regular customers very well. They are always friendly to us and have the kiddie chopsticks available for my 2 daughters. The food is very good and always a large portion. While there is no "show" - we don't go to restaurants for shows....we go for great food, running into friends, and always having a to go box for lunch the next day. It's a great local restaurant.
