Osaka Sushi & Japanese Cuisine — Restaurant in Visalia

I was staying in the area for a work trip and found this spot on Google maps. There were many positive reviews so I decided to give it a try for lunch. Upon entering I noticed the spaciousness of the restaurant. I was seated in a booth up front next to a window. This area had two rows of very comfortable booths. I met was by my server; she was soft spoken and very attentive. I ordered hot green tea. When it arrived at my table I was pleasantly surprised that I was given an entire hot tea pot. This was perfect because the tea cup was small and this allowed me to refill it myself with more hot tea. I decided on one of the lunch specials. But first I had to try one of the many appetizers. I ordered the spicy tuna over crispy rice; which was awesome. A large amount of spicy tuna on top of a crispy rice square, topped with a fresh jalapeño slice. As for my actual meal, I selected a plate combo with teriyaki beef and five pieces of sashimi. This included a small salad and miso soup. The soup and salad came out relatively fast. The salad was delicious, the dressing was just right. The miso soup was also great; not too salty. As for my combo plate, it was very good. The five prices of sashimi tasted fresh. I wish the pieces were larger but for the price it was appropriate. The beef teriyaki was also very good, just the right amount of fatty tender beef. The sauce was good but there was a little too much of it; not a big deal though. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. The service was excellent and the prices were reasonable. I will for sure come back here the next time...

Had a pretty good dining experience at this sushi spot! The food was fantastic—everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out surprisingly fast. I have to give a special shoutout to the spicy tuna crispy rice appetizer and the chicken tonkatsu ramen. Both were seriously delicious and worth trying if you visit.

The service was top-notch. We were seated quickly, and the staff was super attentive and friendly throughout our meal. They really added to the positive experience.

The atmosphere was decent—I'd rate it a solid 3/5. It wasn't anything special, but it was comfortable enough to enjoy a meal. The only downside was that it was a bit on the pricey side for three people, but honestly, the quality of the food and service made it worth it.

Overall, it was one of the better Japanese dining experiences I've had in the valley. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're...
