This has to be one of the best Japanese restaurants that I’ve been to, and that is no exaggeration. I had a small meal of takoyaki, edamame, and some assorted nigiri and it was outstanding. The cold house sake is very good as well. Highly recommend! Update: I came back again and had the ramen and sashimi and it amazing. I would give it a Michelin star if I could. A true gem!

Staff, owner and everyone in the restaurant are incredibly friendly and professional. It feels like a true family owned restaurant that employees respect. I had the Yuzu Ramen with Chashu Pork and an egg added. I worked at a ramen restaurant once so my standards are pretty high, and this bowl did not disappoint! I particularly loved the broth and tofu, but didn’t enjoy the pork. Tea after dinner was wonderful. The place was packed on a Sunday night, and the staff greets and says farewell to everyone that comes in and out. Lovely place for a meal.

A friend who lives in the area brought me here. We had a fair sampling of the cuisine and I was impressed they had a karakuchi sake available. The staff was friendly and well trained. The yakisoba was the best I've had this side of the Pacific Ocean, a surprise and a treat.

So good I went back again the next night! Delicious ramen offered alongside less known dishes like okonomiyaki, Osaka’s is a nice Japanese place with authenticity on the menu. Very friendly staff! I will definitely come again next time I’m in Boulder.

Overall, I really liked this place! I would like to come back to try the yakisoba or the sushi that I noticed many people ordering. It's very authentic Japanese food and Japanese comfort food like the Okonomiyaki I ordered (it was very flavorful, yet heavy and rich in taste). The service was splendid and we were checked on regularly. My husband got the ramen which was pretty good standard ramen.

Luckily got here at 5pm (on a Sunday) because this place was reserved and fully booked. They had the Osaka okonomiyaki burger, which I really enjoyed with a spicy sauce. For the okonomiyaki to be more authentic, it was missing the Japanese mustard (which they had) and bonito flakes (which they also had) with an additional dried seaweed shake on top. I wonder if they altered the original recipe to fit the taste of the American visitors. It looked like the winner was the freshly fried tempura and ramen dishes. We'll have to come back to try it. Personally felt the sushi was well prepared (generous and skillful cuts), but not as fresh as it could be. I'd come back again if I'm in the area.

First restaurant I've found that serves okonomiyaki! Haven't had it since Japan! I liked it though expected them to chop up the seafood / meat and incorporate it into the okonomiyaki. The Osaka burger was interesting but thought the sauce was a little strong. Ginger for sushi tasted fresh and handroll was great!

Me and my Significant Other came to Boulder for our Anniversary and we decided to try Osaka's. And honestly we both loved their food! Such great tasting dishes that we had to come back the next day to have Dinner again. I would definitely reccomend this place for whoever wants to try Japanese Orgin Dishes and wants an authentic and great service experience!
