Best Japanese Restaurant - 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008

"Osaka has the distinction of having the only Hibachi grill -- at which skilled chefs cook a
magnificent feast before your eyes -- and all-Japanese menu in all downtown Northampton.
Osaka also offers fifteen special sushi rolls, as well as an array of sashimi and maki."

"Valley Advocate" Review by C.C. Brulée
"Acolytes of other sushi establishments would be well advised to give Osaka a try,
while the uninitiated will find this restaurant an excellent place to start."

"The Republican" Review by Fran Bellamy
"The sushi at Osaka is, we discovered, skillfully prepared."
"Of course, Japanese ideas about food mandate that it looks as good as it tastes.
At Osaka, this mindset is reflected in the dramatic way menu items are presented..."

"The Sophian" Review by Kate Robinson
"Osaka offers a wide array of sushi and hibachi, as well as teriyaki, udon, donburi and other
traditional Japanese foods, making selection difficult. The wait staff was more than tolerant of
our indecision and continued to be prompt in refilling water and tea."
