Osaka Japanese Cuisine - Cordova

This is the first local place that blew my socks off, we’re talking slap your grandma good. I took my fiancé here on a date and WOW!We started with Gyoza (pork dumplings) and the server brought them out so fast it felt like they popped out of thin air. They were the perfect flavor and crispy-ness for a fried dumpling. For dinner we had teriyaki chicken and the steak and chicken. We both got the regular size instead of the large, but I was stunned with the portion size. She’s the pregnant one, but I definite look pregnant now too because it was SO MUCH FOOD. I don’t typically eat carbs, but when I saw the fried rice I could resist a bite. Genuinely the best I’ve ever had. Plus the sauce on the side was to die for. Lastly for desert we got the fried banana with vanilla ice cream and it was fantastic! Just the right sweetness, and again, huge portion (definitely enough to share between us).I couldn’t be happier with my experience here tonight and I’ll definitely be bringing friends and family regularly.Also, thanks Emma for the awesome service! Best service on this side of the Mississippi for sure!

Everything about here was nice . Nice staff, food, atmosphere even the floors were nice. Ok, they may have been awesome enough to photo to remember for a future project but the experience was... NiceFood: 4/5

I enjoyed the sushi rolls, many to choose from. My husband liked the shrimp fried rice.Food: 5/5

The best Japanese Restaurant we have ever been to in our lives. It was truly a delight. The rice (I really don’t like rice) was awesome and I ate all of it. Atmosphere was perfect and the employees were very friendly. We don’t live here but if we did it would be on our schedule to frequent this restaurant often. We have a note to self: “if we ever are in this area we will eating here”

Osaka has always been a college hang out spot around Highland, but the Cordova location is just as good. I always enjoy walking in an Osaka and get enthralled by the atmosphere and food options. I ordered the deluxe sized Shabu Shabu and it was a wonderful experience feeding about 4 people. This one was hot and spicy, and you can get the base ingredients and just add on other ingredients like the soba or udon for prob $5. The base price is based on size. I think the deluxe was $70, the large is $45, the medium is $25 during the time I went.
