Osaka - Joliet

The restaurant has a dedicated parking lot with plenty of spots available, so it’s easy to find a place to park and get in and out.

This was our first and definitely our last visit to this restaurant. The hostess greeted us rudely, although the server was reasonably decent. Unfortunately, the food left much to be desired. The meat tasted outdated, the crabs were mushy and emitted an unpleasant odor, and the shrimp was overly dry. The salmon was neither tender nor flavorful. While the grilled items started off fresh, they were cooked beyond the right point, resulting in tough and tasteless meat. We decided against trying the sushi, lacking confidence in the overall quality of the food and staying with the cooked dishes instead. Despite visiting on a busy Sunday, they still managed to serve us food that seemed old, raising concerns about the freshness of their ingredients. To top it off, a 10% tip was automatically included in our bill when we paid in advance. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Upon reaching my table, I was taken aback to see an extra $0.25 fee just for using a debit card. Incredible! When my food eventually arrived, it was obvious it had been left out since 10:30 AM; everything was cold, and the sweet and sour chicken was dried out. The restaurant's emptiness should have been a red flag, but it seems only tourists and occasional visitors choose to dine here.

I’ve been to a lot of bad Chinese buffets, but this was the worst. We figured since it was a Friday night that the food would be fresh, but everything looked like it had been sitting in the warmers all day and was way over cooked. The quality of the food was bad and the staff were unkempt and looked miserable. We spent $55 total for our family (not happy we had to pay for our 2 and 3 year old, they literally ate nothing because it was gross). We left still hungry but couldn’t stomach anymore of the food and we wished we spent our money eating anywhere else.

Do not go here. They charged my husband $17 for dinner and had nothing except lunch items on the buffet. They brought out fish that wasnt sushi and it was completely raw. They had nothing on the sushi bar. My husband had been going here since they opened and never complained until today. He never got to eat and they refused to give my husband a refund and kicked him out. You can bet I will spreading how terrible this place is to everyone I meet. I will post this on every social media platform. This is the location by the mall.
