"Japanese and Thai food are among my favorites, and I think it's fair to say that I have quite a bit of experience with Asian cuisine. I discovered Osaka Asian Fusion during a shopping trip it's located in a strip mall about a year ago, and have been there several times. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. I had issues with the food quality when I was there about two months ago. The soup I ordered was tasteless. I simply did not eat it. But that did not stop me from returning last week because their sushi had been very good. I gave them another shot. However, my last trip a few days ago was a disaster. I tried a different soup one with pork dumplings in a clear broth. The dumplings were delicious but the broth tasted like salty dishwasher. I also ordered a Pink Lady sushi roll. The first piece had what appeared to be a short, brown rodent hair on it. OK, I removed it, didn't eat that piece. Two pieces later, I discovered a string of steel wool in the rice ! and that was the final straw. I brought these matters to the attention to the waitress who had a conversation with someone else the cook? that I could not understand. The sushi was taken off my bill. In past visits as well as this one, the sushi was presented artfully. Service had been attentive and pleasant, which makes it hard for me to write this review because I think the owner is the waitress. I certainly did not anticipate any issues. But there are some problems in the kitchen, apparently, and for this reason I will not return."

"They are absolutely fantastic. I’ve never had tempura this good and perfectly cooked. I always order a tempura bento box for lunch. First time it was chicken and the second time it was shrimp. The best part is actually the tempura vegetables that come with it. The onion was like a Japanese onion ring and when you dip with the tempura sauce that comes with your order it is seriously delicious. My other favorite is the tempura sweet potato. I thought it was carrot and I was very pleasantly surprised when it was sweet potato. I love tempura sweet potato rolls so to eat it as just a tempura battered sweet potato slice was amazing. The sweet potato was cooked to perfection where it wasn’t undercooked hard but very soft. I also chose the tuna roll to go with it and I can tell the tuna is pretty fresh since it’s not bright red. Super bright red tuna usually means it’s pumped with a lot of carbon monoxide. That’s how fish is sold so it doesn’t look a little brown like it naturally should. Tuna doesn’t stay fresh very long and should be cooked and eaten as soon as you buy it. It is also kid-friendly! I went with my baby thinking I’ll just go in, pay for stuff, and head to the next errand but he was so fussy. So I asked them if I could use a booth to feed him and they said yes. I started eating my lunch while I fed the baby with the other hand and I struggled to put everything back so I could leave since I only had one hand. The lady came up to me and asked if she could help and I said yes please. So she placed everything back in the bag and re-stapled it and I was so grateful for them going the extra mile. I unfortunately didn’t have cash to leave a nice tip so I hope this raving review will make up for it!"
