Osaka Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar

My husband and I placed a to go order while on vacation from Tampa on Saturday May 25th. I ordered a tempura and far east roll. What I got was a roll with only the seafood (piece of shrimp and imitation crab). None of the other items which were supposed to be on them were. Tempura roll  was only a piece of fried shrimp. The far east only had a piece of imitation crab meat and shrimp. To top it off the shrimp I'm guessing were not deveined as there were really thick hard black pieces if something in all of them( not what the usual veins look like) It was about half the size of a pencil eraser.  I called that night and complained to the manager Linda or Laura can't remember which it was as I hope to forget the whole experience  and she said that I could come back in and she would correct the situation. I didn't feel like making the half hour trip at 10pm while having a migraine. So before our drive home on Monday night we stopped by so i could go in and request a refund. I didnt eat any of the food.....I ended up eating strawberry wheaties for dinner that night. I decided I wanted to pass on the mysterious hard black pieces in the shrimp and ask for a refund.. When I walked in there was no one to greet me at the front desk. I had to search around for someone. Then found a gentleman whom I asked for the manager and he said he would get her. Then he quickly got distracted by another employee and never fot her. I had to go to the front bar tender and ask for her and she finally came out. When she began speaking with me another female employee waled up and handed her the phone to take a phone order. I wasited then when she got off the phone a couple entered and she seated them. Then came back and said ""what did you need"". I politely introduced myself and explained I called last night and since we were about to take a 6.5 hour drive back to Tampa I asked for a refund and she said she couldn't refund from the previous night. She stated there was nothing she could do.... I had a horrible experience and even worse nothing was done to fix it and the manager was very rude. Worst experience ever!!!!!!!!!  \r more

I went here with a couple of friends last weekend after shopping and it was lots of fun! The steak I ordered (medium rare) was cooked just like I like it, and the veggies and rice and noodles were really good, not too greasy or salty-sweet the way I've had at other places. The guy did a great presentation! more

My girlfriend and I have been to the Osaka in Tallahassee, so we decided to try the one in Destin when we were in town recently. The hibachi chef we had was very entertaining, the food quality was just as fresh and delicious as it is in Tallahassee, and we tried the sushi and saki here as well, and that was very, very good. Well presented and fresh. Good service too. I got the filet and lobster for us, and we split it. There was plenty to share, and we were more than pleased. more

We'd been going to Osaka in Tallahassee for some time, but a couple of months ago we went to Osaka in Destin. The location is good - it's near the shopping, which is, so us, the whole point of going to Destin - and the building is beautiful. We got what we usually get when we go to the Osaka in Tally (the filet and lobster), and, as usual, it was amazingly fresh and perfectly prepared. We missed our ""Elvis"" guy that we usually get in Tally, but the chef was fun and had us entertained. We'll definitely go back! more

My wife and I were greeted and seated immediately by a friendly staff. The decor was clean and nice. We ate a variety of sushi rolls and couldn't have been happier. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive but not intrusive. The sushi rolls were creative with ingredient combinations, fresh and delicious. Pros: Great food, excellent service more

While vacationing, my family and I dropped by this establishment as it had a good crowd in the parking lot. Unfortunately, our evening was a big dissapointment when the sushi arrived. The protein were tasteless unlike a good fresh cut should be. Even the dressing in the salad was not even edible. We had the sashimi platter, a few rolls and some nigiri. Bland was the common denominator. Pros: decent service in a well designed property Cons: horrible sushi more

This restaurant is becoming a regular stop whenever we visit the area. I am moving back to NW Fl after years and am amazed at the variety of food being offered in the area. I first visited after it was recommended by my Air Force son. My mother has eaten there and now our whole family. Osaka is for lovers, for senior citizens, for young families and for veterans having a quiet dinner with loved ones deploying to the GWOT. Pros: Food, food, food Cons: Souvenier shop...nice but needs some new items more

While on our honeymoon in Destin my husband and I visited Osaka. It was the most amazing Sushi we've ever eaten. The food was so fresh and the service was excellent even though they were extremely busy. We joked about traveling the 6 hours again just to eat there! more

We just went for the sushi and it was outstanding. So fresh and full of flavor, it was made perfectly. Our server was great too although I don't remember his name. I will definitely go back for more sushi next time I'm in Destin. Pros: great food, great service more
