Osaka Sushi isn’t just about takeout; they offer seating for those who prefer to savor their meal on-site, with its limited seating. What makes this place stand out is its inclusive menu, catering to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Here’s a taste of what you can expect:

Specialty rolls include the Osaka, which features Yellowtail, avocado and cucumber topped with tuna, sweet sauce and wasabi mayo, in addition to the Dragon, which is a choice of spicy tuna or salmon with cucumber topped with avocado, sweet sauce and spicy mayo. Osaka also has a number of fresh poke bowls available for purchase.

Appetizers:

  • Edamame: Tossed in a house chili crunch, providing a spicy kick to start your meal.
  • Cajun Catch: A choice of 6 pieces of thinly sliced Cajun-style Tuna or Salmon, layered on a bed of cucumber and topped with onion dressing.

  • Sunset Roll: A delightful combination of avocado, mango, and cashew, offering a sweet and creamy contrast.
