This is the best sushi restaurant in the north shore by a large margin! Im from LA and this place actually beats a lot of the sushi joints there even my staples on the west side. If you come check out the restaurant be sure to get the nigiri or sashimi, which are really the standouts on the menu. The fish is always super fresh, great quality cuts, and extremely generous portions (Its really hard to stuff in entire piece of nigiri in my mouth). The only thing that is weird is that they score their fish but its still tasty. The fatty salmon here is probably one of the best salmons Ive had...so creamy and buttery if I didnt know I was eating fish Id think I had a huge spoonful of avocado in my mouth. Come check Osaka out, you wont be disappointed!

I took my wife and kids (four people altogether) to celebrate my wifes birthday yesterday. The restaurant was not crowded by any standard, but we were requested to squeeze in a small table right next to the entrance. As it was pretty code outside and my wife had caught cold, we asked whether we could sit at other tables a little bit inside the room. The attendant (looks like a manager) rejected us quoting these tables were reserved for larger group people (it was 7:30 pm on Sunday eve!). We had no choice but decided to leave, and response was so nasty that she kicked the chair back into under the table (she had pulled out the chairs for us to sit previously). I deeply felt that we were humiliated and will NEVER go back to that restaurant again!

First of all, I have to mention that this is the best sushi Ive had in Chicago and recommend it to anyone and everyone that likes sushi. I live almost two hours from downtown (where Osaka is located) and I take the drive anyways because its that good. And their avocado bubble tea is amazing every single time. Its always the same, and I appreciate consistency. The only reason why I didnt give it a 5/5 is because its ridiculous to try to find parking, the restaurant is very very small, and I do sometimes feel rushed while ordering. The waitresses use their phones right in front of the customers and I find that extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Besides that, Im neutral about the service because the food is worth it.

Seriously, I never write these things, but this sushi is incredible and well worth an excellent review. Heres what happened: 1st, open the carry out box and look...its beautiful! 2nd, look at the size of the pieces of fish, the incredible toppings atop the decorative rolls, the colors pop out and crave attention, each roll vying for my attention. 3rd, count them and do the math, lots of pieces, good size, excellent value. 4th, now try it! It is incredibly fresh and flavorful and fantastically delicious. This is the second time we have eaten here and it is now our sushi place of choice.

Best sushi outside of Chicago!! I highly recommend it and have been going for years. Never been disappointed yet. I am an avid sushi lover ever since I lived in Chicago. As soon as I moved to the suburbs I was upset at the quality of the sushi in the area and got quickly tired of driving down to Chicago to get a decent roll. A friend mentioned this place and I was blown away! The place is a small family neighborhood feel to it. Definitely the place to go for a great meal!

BEST SUSHI!!! Excellent quality, innovative specials. The staff all welcomes you with hellos when you enter the door,and all say thank you,and goodbye when you leave. They are genuinely happy to see you, and appreciate that youve eaten. If you are repeat, they know you and respect you without having to do a pretend fake conversation. They acknowledge, and treat you with respect. EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT

This used to be my ALL-TIME favorite sushi place for many years until recently it got sold to new owners. Not only is the atmosphere not the same but the Sushi is not the same. Hand Rolls dont even stay together and the sushi went to a bland taste. This is very sad, after being a frequent loyal customer. I wish the old owners were back!!!

The sushi was amazing, but the beef udon soup has no beef, just mushrooms. The presentation for the udon is bad. I recommend this place only for the sushi. The server was very moody and unfriendly. She tried to not give us a corporate discount for Astellas. She said Astellas is not a corporate business, "its too small".

This is our favorite sushi place by the house. Wife, two kids and myself come several times a month, normally during late hours and have never been disappointed. Place is small and gets crowded some time but atmosphere is always welcoming. We love the Sushi @ Osaka :) !

The sushi is superb and came out surprisingly quick. The workers are friendly, the price is fair. I tried the firecrackers and loved them, and I will definitely be returning soon to try the chef special roll. Went for Sunday dinner and it was not crowded at all.

Here in Il visiting for holidays and looked up a place to get sushi in the area. This sushi was delicious, and the service was excellent. I enjoyed the hot cup of green tea while I waited. I will def come back here when I want some good sushi!

Dont judge the restaurant by the outside. It looks small and its hard to tell if its even open but once you step inside, its quite full of people. The sushi is fresh and the udon was good too. We are going back to try some more stuff.

One of the best sushi in the area. My wife and I love sushi, and we have been living in the area for 2 year. After much exploring we found this place and the search is over. Give it a try :)
