    We LOVE Osaka Trading. The best and freshest sashimi, the most delicious chicken karage, we LOVE the lotus chips with sriracha mayo and the poke bowls are YUM. So many other wonderful things on the menu.

    The location and ambiance is great, spacious and lovely deco in Zen style. The service has been great. Sushi quality and freshness is great. The only thing is the portion is bit small, ramen noodle is okay can be better. Overall nice environment spending quality time with family friends.

    The food came out quite quickly. We ordered agedashi tofu, poke, and Kara age in rice bowls. Agedashi tofu was really good, the outside was crunchy and the sauce went well. However, I was not impressed with poke. The fish tasted very fishy and did not taste fresh. And the rice was a bit too much compared to the amount of tuna. Overall, my partner and I enjoyed our dinner there.

    This place used to be fantastic but I guess it must have been adversely impacted by the pandemic. The extensive list of shared plates has been pared back so that now there are so few that you really have to have a curry rice bowl or ramen. My ramen (the vegetarian ramen) was excessively sweet. We did have a few shared plates as starters and they were much better; I hope they'll get back to their former menu eventually. Service is lovely and it was quiet when we were there because it was a Tuesday night, but they did seat everyone in one section, which is odd in the context of a pandemic.

    Limited for non pork/chilli eaters. One skinny pork slice in what looked like two minute noodles for $19. Wine list limited and $60min. I’ve been before and really enjoyed it, I wasn’t expecting cheap, but this was expensive for what we got. We were disappointed with the experience.

    We always enjoy the food at Osaka Kitchen. Contemporary Japanese food done with a deft touch and a bit of flair. Friendly efficient service, great ambience. Simple straightforward menu. We typically choose a few dishes to share between the two of us. I think we have worked our way through most of the menu!
