Osaka Fire Japanese Steakhouse & Seafood

The check in tablet was both confusing and frustrating. I waited at the hostess desk for approximately 2-3 with no hostess in sight. Not a big deal so I check in on the tablet. There was already a party behind me so I move to the side so they could also check in. At that same moment the hostess walks up and ask them how many then proceeds to sit them. As she makes her way back another party was already at the hostess desk and same thing, proceeded to ask them how many and seats them right away. I then get an opportunity to speak with a hostess told them my frustration. With no surprise as many ppl now a days don’t care this hostess didn’t seem to care at all. So needless to say that the tablet made no difference in my situation. Should have just waited for an actual hostess

Disappointing experience from start to finish. ​My recent visit to Osaka was a major letdown the moment we were seated. The dining room was uncomfortably hot, it genuinely felt like a sauna. Even with a supplemental cooling unit blowing in a specific direction, the temperature was completely unacceptable and made dining very unpleasant. To top it off, some of the employees mentioned that the AC unit has been out all summer! Let's be real: we already live in Odessa, Texas, where it's plenty hot outside, so why would anyone want to go to a restaurant that's just as hot on the inside? ​The food was just as disappointing. I ordered an entrée that was supposed to come with chicken and shrimp, but the chicken pieces looked more like strange curds rather than actual cuts of chicken, and the zucchini served with it was completely overcooked. We also ordered the Lo Mein, but instead of traditional noodles, it was served with thin noodles that looked and felt like fideo/vermicelli pasta. Honestly, I would much rather go to Panda Express than ever eat here again. ​Between the sweltering heat and the poorly prepared food, I am super disappointed in this restaurant and will not be returning.

The food was awful rice was hard! when I called the manager to let them know that their food was awful. They denied a refund which is fine, but I’ll never go back again and I do not recommend this food. it’s also very expensive. I paid $70 for two plates.

This is my new birthday go to. I've been here twice in the last 5 months and every time it's been fantastic. The service is amazing, both times the waiter and waitress were very attentive, kind, pleasing, and very communicative. When I asked for their opinion, they gave it honestly. You are given a small cup of warm broth w shredded carrots, scallions and mushrooms that is just wonderful, pleasing and comforting on a cold evening. If you ask for more there's no hesitation. The sushi is freash every time and the apple sake is dangerously good, very smooth. If you've never tried it, get the apple in a big bottle, you won't be disappointed. Unless if dry, burning, terrible flavor is what you like, then you won't like this. So far of all the sushi I've tried, the Tiger roll, Spider roll, Katana roll, Poland roll, and the Viva Las Vegas roll are my favorites. I have not tried the Hibachi grill dinners yet but plan too. The atmosphere is beautiful and elegant.

If you’re not a reader just know it’s DISGUSTING and OVERPRICED. I do not recommend that you eat here!!!! I wholeheartedly believe anywhere else in Midland/Odessa is a better choice. The ambience is very nice and upscale feeling, so we had expectations that the whole experience would match, sadly it did not. To start off the soup tastes like powdered bullion with some added acidity. The sushi (VIP Roll) was good, I just find $20.99 a roll a bit outrageous for something that isn’t extra special. And then on to the hibachi meals- the menu is quite confusing and repetitive with the same thing being priced differently in different spots. Also, everything seemed to be an additional cost, for example, to have the steamed rice included in your hibachi plate switched to fried is extra. What!?!? Where does fried rice not come with your hibachi plate? The side salad was the smallest I’ve ever seen (photos includes, but it was also served in a cone cup so it appears larger) I had one piece of celery, lettuce, and the shredded carrots on top.. that was it. Our meals were horrible. We ordered medium steak and it was charred and cooked until completely dry. The teriyaki chicken (which was
