Osaka Japanese Restaurant

Not bad, not bad at all. Located very conveniently in an area that has plenty of restaurants and bars, Osaka was an easy walk from my hotel.

Next time I go to a sushi restaurant, I'll have to see if what I saw on the menu is normal...there were no less than 25 different rolls offered, and all but two had crab (krab?) as one of the ingredients. Is imitation crab sort of a roll-filler like broccoli is for Chinese food? I'll have to see.

When I walked in to the establishment, the hostess spied me from the kitchen and actually began to jog over to seat me. So unnecessary, but a very sweet gesture. Service was very friendly throughout the evening, and the fish was very fresh. I had my normal sashimi fix, and added a roll (one of the rolls without krab) called "Triple Tuna". It consisted of tuna, white tuna and spicy tuna. Excellent, and highly recommended!

Next time I'm in Louisville I wouldn't hesitate to come back here.

Gps took us to this restaurant.  Apparently there are a couple of Osaka's in Louisville.  The other one should be the good one because this one sucked.  Poor service.  Very rigid server, she was the only one. A small pot of green tea is $1.50, if you ask for an extra cup, they will charge you for every cup.  I asked for two extra cups, so we were billed $4.50 total for one same small pot we had to share. Server didn't refill our tea.  Calamari was below average.  OMG, the rolls are miniscule in size, you can barely see the fish, for 8 bucks a roll it was very disappointing.  The place was dead considering it's a Friday night, that was a sign we missed.  If you are a true sushi lover, do not eat here, or you are wasting your money.

Grabbed a couple of tuna rolls as part of the Monday lunch special (I know, ordering fish on a Monday?) $5 for a pair of rolls was a great deal, so I had to give it a shot.

Walked right in and made my order and had only a short wait for my order. The rolls were well-made and good, although I did hit a couple of pieces that had a slight fishy odor.

Will definitely be going back more regularly for lunch.
