Osaka in Northampton is an incredible spot for hibachi and cocktails! We had the chicken hibachi and the filet mignon & chicken hibachi—both were absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. The lychee martini was a great surprise—light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. We sat on the enclosed patio and really enjoyed the peaceful view while we ate. The service was excellent, and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. You can tell they care about their customers and the experience. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

DON'T EAT HERE IF YOU CAN'T EAT GLUTEN Sadly, the food I was served contained gluten despite informing the server of my intolerance/allergy. I found out because I bloated like a balloon with some abdominal pain. Anyways. The food we ordered was decent, at best. Not much flavor and the chicken cooked for my fried rice was pretty dry and flavorless. I think it's worth noting my sushi was pretty good. First time having a Philly roll with raw salmon as, apparently, their smoked salmon has gluten (I'm assuming due to a shared surface?) I also wonder if the food quality tanked due to how busy they were, if the chef was in a hurry to just get the food out ASAP. The food was served quickly, and we were able to get timely seating considering how hectic the place was. Our server was also very con

We have patronized hibachi steakhouses up and down the East Coast; the chef at Osaka was one of the best; food was perfectly prepared and he was very personable. While the main course was great, we weren’t wasn’t blown away by the sushi appetizer. Overall service excellent: seating a little tight

Osaka pulled through with a pleaset dining experience with our party! My wife was slamming back her Pad Thai. I had to remind her multiple times to slow down while eating. The sushi was so fresh and presented very well. This place holds high standards across the board. I recommend this place to anyone.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jennifer McPherson · Nov 2025

I have been here a few times, I have had the hibachi and the sushi. The ambience is wonderful, service was always good, but I just wasn't overly impressed with the food. It was kind of bland every time. For me, it's about the value, if the price was lower I probably would have rated it slightly higher, but you can get better sushi for same or less just up the street.
