I met up with one of my best friends at Osaka Japanese Restaurant. My friend lives in Washington, DC and this place was pretty much in the middle. I have seen this place while passing it on the way to the Springfield metro station. So I was interested in seeing what this place is all about.
The place is small but very cute. They have tables and a few spots to sit in front of the sushi chefs. We were sat at one of the tables. They had an extensive menu filled with non-sushi entrees for any of your non-sushi eating friends.
Their menu is filled with a lot of specialty sushi rolls as well as the norm. They charge their nigiri by the piece instead of 2 pieces like some places. Their prices were very reasonable. We ordered a shrimp tempura and veggie appetizer. They also served us miso soup and salad. If you’re a big salad eater the salad won’t really impress you. There wasn’t a lot of lettuce in the bowl. I think if they picked a salad bowl that’s a little smaller it may be a better presentation. But that’s just me being anal.
We get our shrimp tempura after our soup and salad. It was good. As soon as we got our tempura our sushi was ready. Score!
It was beautiful. I think half the fun of eating sushi is seeing the presentation. Any chef can roll it and serve it. But when you have a beautiful platter of sushi it really gets you excited.
We ordered Spider Roll (soft shell crab), Lasagna Roll, spicy salmon roll, deep fried spicy tuna roll, and 2 pieces of sake (salmon). Let the fun begin.
Everything tasted fresh and was good. I really can’t fault anything with the sushi. If I was asked to go again I definitely would go back.
