Columbia Restaurant Guide

My husband, children and I go to Osakas once a year for the last 6 years. We always look forward to our trip and always eat at the Hibachi grill. The kids (and adults) get a big kick out of the chefs tossing their cooking utensils around and throwing shrimp for us to catch with our mouths. If you think that you do not like Japanese food, don't worry. The food is flavorful, but simply flavored-not overseasoned or too ethnic. There is chicken, seafood, steak, and vegetable dishes (for vegetarians). If you want more flavor, add the ginger sauce it is excellent. It is expensive though. Expect to spend a little more than $100 for a family of 4. Overall, this is a very entertaining and great family oriented place to eat.

A group of us went there after work. We ordered the hibachi dinner and everything went fine until food was cooked. The cook was completely unfriendly and when we got the food, it was overcooked and very bland. It was about as good as if you throw meat/seafood onto a skillet with a little salt and pepper. When I asked the waitress about it, she said she would take half the meals off the bill. So we continued to pick at our food and talk, until the manager came over. He asked what the problem was. We explained. Then he told us that we were wrong and that we didn't know what good food was. Then, he hand-delivered the bill, while people were still eating and demanded payment right then. As you can imagine, we were pretty angry. We told him that we were never coming back and he said, "good, I don't want you to come back." Then, as we were leaving (after paying the bill), he started making fun of our group to people at the bar, to the point where people turned around and were staring at us. Bottom line: bad food and even worse service. Truly one of the worst restaraunt experiences of my life.
