Thai & Osaka Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Kingsland

I was recommended this restaurant by coworkers however I had a horrible experience. Upon entering the restaurant, my guest and I were not greeted. After 15 minutes we were given our seat which was the first red flag because the restaurant was not really busy. Probably about 3 small tables at the time. I noticed that all other tables received water expect ours after 10 minutes of sitting we were asked what drinks we would like. I had ordered Sake and a Thai tea which was also not given to us until 20 minutes and we never were checked up on nor given waters at the table. Quite frankly we were the only African American customers at the establishment and were the only customers to receive this treatment. I ended up paying for the drinks and walking out. The waitress also had the nerve to tell me "you only get water if you ask" when it was apparent all the other guests DID NOT ASK. I also have a business in NYC and yes we are all human but that was no mistake. It's sad to know that in 2023 this is how we are treating customers. There was no apology or discount etc. Regardless there is no justification of why we were treated so badly. Nonetheless I went to Green Papaya in JAX where the ambiance was nicer, staff were sweet and restrooms/ tables were much more cleanly. Please DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME...

I visited Thai & Osaka Sushi Bar today and it turned out to be such a lovely and cozy experience. I ordered PAD THAI NOODLES with chicken and honestly, it was amazing. So flavorful, perfectly cooked, and just overall delicious. I enjoyed it so much that I finished every single noodle on my plate.

For my personal taste, it was just a little bit salty, but I understand that’s part of the charm of this kind of cuisine. Just something to keep in mind – you’ll definitely want something to drink afterward.

What made it even more special was the little complimentary dish they brought out – a small bowl of mushroom soup, more like a warm and light mushroom broth. It was such a kind gesture and really added to the experience.

I also want to say how much I appreciated the service. The young lady who served me was incredibly polite, sweet, and attentive. She made me feel very welcome, and I’m truly thankful for that.

This place definitely deserves to be recommended. I left...

Our servers were very nice and we enjoyed the City Roll. The Veggie Pad Thai noodles were cooked to a perfect texture. And the vegetables in the Tom Yum veggie soup were of generous size.

This was our first time here. I found the Pad Thai too sweet for my liking and found the same for the Tom Yum veggie soup. The Green Curry Pork arrived without pork. That said, the flavors in all three dishes (sweetness aside) were wonderful and the vegetables tasted fresh.

The atmosphere itself leaves much to be desired. Some Thai or Japanese music would be nice as would warmer color lighting instead of the cool LED lights that hang above the tables. Sitting on the bench along the longest wall is uncomfortable; it feels like the seat is angled forward and you just can't get comfortable. The television was pleasantly off for most of our meal however it was later turned on to a sports channel (fine in a sports bar but this isn't a...
