Review from Brenn S.
I truly love Osaka. I was extremely please when I discovered it had reopened after a fire. It's close to home and you get a complimentary, wickedly peeled and presented orange at the end of your meal to cleanse the palate.
I always get the same thing here... miso, wakame, tempura and the Hawaiian Volcano Roll (see my pic). Yup. It's on fire! It's warm, crispy and covered in that Japanese mayo stuff. And it's on fire!
Hint: Don't eat the Hawaiian Volcano Roll too quickly. Because... well you already know.Listed in: Best Sushi

The modern Japanese style semi private booths at here aren't something you come across often in Toronto. However, despite the more ornate (albeit somewhat sterile) furnishings and the very pleasant service from the friendly older couple, the food is just okay for their considerably higher price points. However, considering that this isn't sushi row in the middle of the Annex, Osaka Sushi offers a good product with little competition, so can understandably charge more.
On my maiden visit, I conducted the good ol' chirashi test and was satisfied with the large selection of thinly sliced fish, traditional (layered v.s. chunky) tamago, and avocado atop properly flavoured Japanese rice. The salad dressing on the appetizer greens was also notably flavourful and the miso soup light.
During the initial run through, I found the DVD special on India (in Japanese with English subtitles) interesting, but when I realized that it was on a loop, it began to lose it's appeal. -

Osaka has been around for a few years, but closed a while back due to a fire. They re-opened recently, after extensive renovations, and I'm very glad they're back.
I go over once every week or so. The food is always fresh, well prepared and gorgeous to look at. The sushi is amazing. The entrees are always brought to the table very quickly. There is an extensive menu, with many options for people who don't like sushi. There are lots of noodle dishes, tempuras, BBQ'ed meats, vegetarian dishes, soups, dumplings.. The list goes on. The bento box meals are one of my all-time faves.
The service is quick, and friendly. It has a very relaxed atmosphere, clean and tidy, and the new decor provides booths with some privacy as they have large partitions between them.
This restaurant is one of those hidden gems that you need to experience. The price might be a bit higher, but the food quality is excellent every time. I've never had a bad meal here. -

Reopened recently (I guess less a month or so) after a fire, as far as I know.
Nice traditional look, quite expensive, I've had better sushi. I like the service, though. I asked what fish they had for sashimi and my server knew exactly the fish they were serving that night. I didn't like their red snapper, but the salmon and tuna were nice and the butterfish was delicious.
Miso and green salad were ok, and I like the complimentary orange. The price was a bit expensive for what I had.Listed in: Sushi & Cia

Review from Erin B.
I wasn't blown away by this place. It's pretty, in a traditional Japanese restaurant way. The food was ok, but I've had better in Toronto and paid less for it. Service was adequate (which is actually better than most Japanese places, so that's something). If you're in the neighbourhood and want sushi, you could do worse, but don't go out of your way to eat here.
