Osaka Japan Ramen Sushi & Hibachi — Restaurant in Weirton District

First time I stopped in with my husband. We tried the crab ragoon & fried calamari to start. Both were good, the calamari really really good with a side sauce. Husband's shrimp fried rice was a good portion and he really enjoyed it. I ordered the tuna lover. It was just okay. To me the fish didn't seem fresh and the ponzo sauce wasn't the best. The service was fantastic and the place is clean & nice inside.

We returned today with our kids to try it again. Husband had the same and was just as happy. My son had the California roll with yum yum sauce and a side of white rice. He ordered a 2nd roll and finished the entire (huge!) side of rice. My daughter had Tuna Nigiri and the Rainbow roll. Just as satisfied and ordered a 2nd roll to go. I had the Sashima deluxe and asked for no salmon. They delivered and it was fantastic! Some of the most flavorful and fresh tasting I've had in a while! So happy I decided to try again! I had their calamari sauce and eel sauce on the side that were also both equally delicious. Food came out a little slow. Everyone was practically finished eating by the time I was served.

The restroom facilities were clean and stocked. Though both myself and daughter were annoyed at the cheapest of cheap single ply toilet paper that you couldn't get off the roll without it tearing into...

The door was acceptable; not so great but not too bad. Ordered some sushi, spicy volcano. It was fantastic, the spring rolls we ordered with it were ever-so-slightly undercooked. Ordered a Pepsi and sweet tea between the two of us and while the service was diligent we did reach a point where the refills were switched to unsweetened tea. The main course consisted of two bowls of spicy ramen. I'll say the noodles were crisp and had a nice appeal as they weren't the paper thin overcooked stuff most places pass off as good; and they had a flavor instead of being the same as the broth. This point is valid as the broth was substandard and lacked most flavors I would normally expect of any miso style broth. The level of heat was not there at all, if you expect hit with the spicy don't bother as it probably won't be there. Side note: I'd expect since they are recently opened they've not had the chance to clean all their hardware. It would be nice if they could delime and decrud their door handles in the facilities.

Everything comes down to the fact that it has room for growth and some potential for improvement. I'll probably go back to see if it...

At the time of this review they were in their first full week after opening. We called ahead and made a reservation for 6 which was fortunate, because just about every table was full and wait times were about 45 min. Our table was provided with the complimentary clear soup (onion?) Which was delicious. Service was a bit slow, I got the impression that some of the servers may be new to serving or working thier first jobs. They were super polite and professional and apologetic. Our table ordered a few appetizers, 2 different sushi rolls, and everyone had a different Ramen as their entrée. The food took about an hour to arrive as the kitchen was backed up. The appetizers came out at the same time as the entrée. Our server seemed to be stretched a bit thin over multiple tables so it took longer to get refills, napkins, ect. However the food was amazing, everything ordered was hot, and delicious. Given some time to get into the flow of the restaurant and some experience for the servers I have no doubt they will improve in the few areas that need it. I will be returning on a...
