Osaka (Cardiff) in Cardiff

First time trying Japanese food disappointed, a military can field food will be much appreciated!

Good food. Nice service, clean.

The menu is very extensive, so much so that multiple visits will be needed to sample everything! The food itself is delicious, service was great and the restaurant was buzzing. Will definitely be revisiting!

Went here after a volleyball match, they served 20 of us quickly, politely and promptly. Absolutely massive selection of food, good selection of drinks and everyone at our table was satisfied. The environment was authentic, the food was quality, and they didn’t turn their noses up at a large group, despite the logistics involved.

Booked for my partner's birthday. Absolutely loved the food. Delicious. If you enjoy Japanese food, you should try food here in Osaka. I'm not a keen fish and I don't eat a lot of meat there were lots of options for me to choose from. Lots of options if you want to try something new too. We dined in but they offer take away service too. The staff were lovely and attentive. Will definitely visit again.

The food was delicious. We newbies to japanese food and culture so the service helped us really well and friendly. We had an amazing diner and we fully recommend the osaka restaurant!

Cosy place and lovely Japanese food at a reasonable price, staff can speak Cantonese as well

Ordered for delivery, and had high hopes given the great reviews - but I was disappointed...maybe it just doesn't travel well. Tempura Bento Box - best bit was the pickles and the salad which was crunchy and fresh with a peanut dressing. The rice was also nice. California rolls were also fairly decent. I don't like soup and I didn't like this soup. The squid rings were chewy. The tempura was greasy and flavourless. Even the wasabi lacked flavour. Edamame - over steamed; bitter. Tori Karage - flavour was nice but batter soggy/chewy. Tekka Maki - soggy Sadly, most of it went in the bin. Dog enjoyed her portion though. I wouldn't go back.

We arrived at Osaka at 9pm and were sat down with menus. At 9.13 we were told we couldn't order as the kitchen was closing at 9.30, which was strange as we heard the table next to us order. The young waitress was very rude and seems like she just wanted us out.

It is my second time here. I ordered tempura bento twice and it is really good! The food size is sufficient and the price is suitable for me.

Had a lovely meal here, phoned ahead and booked for the 2 of us and glad I did as around 3 different groups were turned away at the door whilst we were there as they were full! Lovely range of sushi and their beef maki (pictured) is our favourite!

We love this place so much! The food is delicious, the menu is extensive, the staff are lovely, and everything is nice and clean. If you're desperate for a bite here, make a reservation so you're not disappointed when it's full! The enoki mushroom tempura is to die for!

Very good food, very good service / staff, nice restaurant.

Is a small and beautifully decorated Japanese restaurant in Canton. They have a large menu ranging from sushi, salad, tempura , fried rice and noodles. The veggie/vegan section has been clearly marked in the menu. The staff were humble and welcoming. The prices are reasonable as well, expect around 10 to 15 pounds for a 2 course meal. We had a variety of their maki, Inari Sushi and Udon Noodles. We caught by surprise that we thought we ordered Aubergine Tempura however we were served Agedashi, which tasted good. The food was mildly seasoned as well, which is easy on your pallet. They also gave us a small pot full of soya sauce and a flavourful chilli oil to season the food ourselves.

The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is good Friendly clerk The standard of Yiyaki ramen is currently the best among British restaurants The noodles are curved like regular ramen, the soup base is thick and not greasy, and the grilled noodles are large but have a bit of pig flavor. Recommend the Osaka roll, which has fried shrimp, eel and shredded cucumber. The roll is huge but the seaweed is not crispy. The fried pork cutlet ramen soup base is not flavorful enough, but the fried pork cutlet is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside without the smell of pig.

Japanese restaurants opened by Hong Kong people are very suitable for Asian tastes. The salmon belly is very fresh.

excellent enjoyed my birthday lunch there, delicious and friendly

Amazing sushi, the best I’ve tried in Cardiff. It’s been quiet the last few times I’ve been which is a shame, it should be much more popular!

This is a true gem. Amazing japanese food, fresh and very tasty. The member of staff that served us was friendly, informative and very efficient. We will definitely be back when visiting Cardiff again

Very nice staff. They moved tables for me as I didn't want to sit next to the door on a cold evening. Lovely food. I'll go again.

I’ve recently moved to Cardiff and must say this has quickly become one of my favourite spots in the city for food! The service is excellent and the food is superb! I would recommend if you’re looking for good food at good value

Food is awesome, reasonably priced and well portioned. Kirin on tap too 👌

Great service, great food, great staff.

Food is consistently fresh, you can taste how fresh and good the salmon is every time. The service is efficient and helpful and the atmosphere is very nicely Japanese themed. Gets quite busy often, so best to book in advance.

Love this place, the food is top notch and the staff are all lovely

Excellent sushi and bento boxes at reasonable prices. Very efficient staff. The small unobtrusive restaurant front belies it's excellence!

好味，價錢合理，店員講廣東話特別親切😄 食物質素及服務都一流。

This is a family run restaurant with authentic Japanese cuisine and the food is really gorgeous. Every time my family visits Cardiff, we come to dine in this restaurant. The food is tasty and the price is reasonable as well as the staff is very friendly. I enjoyed all the dishes especially Tempura 🍤 Moriawase and mixed Nigiri sushi 🍣👍

The set lunch menu was fantastic value and so much of it. Service was friendly and helpful. Food tasted great. Lovely atmosphere inside. I will definitely return.

Lovely suchi with a few good options. Both the octopus balls and the Crab Tempura were new to me, but I'm really glad I tried them here: excellent.

One of favourite places now! Went for dinner and the service was amazing. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food was hot, fresh and super fast. Couldn't list one thing bad about this place. Already thinking about what I'll order next time I go 🤭

Money for value! Delicious ad fresh!

the food is alright. ordered the salmon box and i found it quite bland. not BAD necessarily but just not good enough for me to order it again. not my favourite but i may come again to give it another chance. i've heard a lot of good things about this place! apart from the food service was wonderful, and the lady who took our order was very kind.

First visit Value for money Good service Pleasant staff Thanks

Consistently great food and a great experience. The staff are lovely and the food is made with love.

Great food and great atmosphere . The tokoyaki is amazing, definitely beats mount Fuji

Best Japanese food I've eaten in Cardiff!

The food here is authentic and tastes amazing I find myself always coming back The staff are really nice too

日式咖哩，香中有甜，天婦羅漿，調製得洽到好處，主廚對食材有講究，有要求，價錢實惠，必會再來。

My favourite Japanese restaurant! I love the Sushi, Spicy Beef Ramen, Takoyaki & Tempera! (I order these the most!) The front step is high (if you are a wheelchair or walker user) but still accessible! The layout is nicely spaced and has a lovely atmosphere! Has cushioned benches but there are tables with chairs, so if you are a wheelchair user, then you could remove a chair... The customer service is friendly and fantastic! Recommend!

Great Japanese restaurant in Canton, large portions all reasonably priced. Extensive menu with good veggie/vegan options, I opted for the Sweet Potato Karaage Curry which was delicious. My fellow diners had the Bento box and sushi platters which they enjoyed (looked amazing). Staff were great, really efficient and friendly. Recommended.

Had Take Out tonight. Was absolutely delicious. Everything was still hot when it arrived (and we live the other end of Cardiff), and none of that take away sogginess you tend to get. Beautiful food, we will definitely be back!

This is without any doubt, the best ramen available in Cardiff, and it's not far from the city centre. Really happy I don't live closer as I would be here multiple times per week 😁. They do a lunch special with a tonkotsu ramen and a starter for around £12. Excellent value for money. Will definitely be back for more ramen soon.

To much meat in the hot pot. Vegetables cut too thick. Nice atmosphere

The sashimi is not bad. The Chicken Karage don is really good. Tempuras are also amazing. The staffs are very friendly and welcoming as well.

Very welcoming staff, food was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality. Recommended booking as can get very busy in evenings.

Beautiful food, very friendly staff! Ordered take out previously and dined in the restaurant this time. I recommend both. It's a must try and we will be back :)

Ordered far too much for one person. It came on a boat. I ate it all. 11/10

Thank you to the waitress that took time to explain the food choices to us . A very enjoyable experience with wonderful food and flavours.

Delicious, family friendly and accommodating for Coeliac and gluten free as well as vegetarian diets. Staff were so attentive despite being very busy. Booking advised for Sunday lunchtime. They turned away 14 people while we were there!

Fantastic food, good service, no complaints

Lots of quantity with best quality for Don katsu ramen

Great restaurant with an amazing atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food was outstanding, with lots of dishes usually not seen on other restaurant menus! We loved the teriyaki mackerel and the eel. Would highly recommend

Had a really good lunch at Osaka with family. Food was very tasty, generous portions and fast friendly service. Very reasonable lunchtime set menu choices for £12.50. Had tonkotsu ramen which was rich and deep with flavour, served with gyoza and salad. Chicken Fried rice was also delicious, as was the chicken Katsu. Delicious food and would definitely recommend a visit.

Nice Japanese food! Excellent service!

Delicious! I ate every crumb 🤩 great service

我在英國食過最似香港嘅日本餐廳，食物好齊，價錢合理，所以每次去Cardiff 必食

Best Japanese food ever, perfectly cooked and served. Staff are so pleasant, should have 10 stars.

Tasted good, decent portions, a bit expensive

Went in for a takeaway box meal, cant fault service or food and not to long to wait. Inside restaurant seemed very cosy

Lovely meal and friendly service. I had Pork and Rice and my wife had the karokke curry which was particularly nice. We also shared the tofu steak which had a great flavour to it.

Unreal food, 10/10 sushi ramen and edamamme

This place is AMAZING, the stuff is so nice and kind and the food is out of this WORLD, I don't know how they have just 4.4 stars, everything was devine. I will definitely be back.

Coming from a place where Japanese restaurants are comparable to those in Japan, this restaurant is ok and worth giving a try.

Best sushi ever， excellent Ramen, and very good services, owners from Hong Kong, they know how to keep the original taste of Japanese food！

Freshly food and very nice service

Best ramen ever!!! The broth is just ohhhh and the noodles ahhhh, I love it! Tasty!!! The katsu chicken spicy hand roll is daaammm amazing tooooooo!

Love it, would love it even better if you did lunches / day time deals too

Food was ok but didn't really hit the mark. Quick delivery but driver didn't have change even though the lady on the phone said he would

Really great restaurant, beautiful food, very well presented with friendly staff. Sashimi was gorgeous.

Love the tempura, fried tofu and Kirin draught. Attentive service. Spacious and cozy dining area.

So delicious and fresh! Great menu selection.

Nice food, and they got takoyaki!!

Stumbled across Osaka looking for dinner and wow! Vegetable and prawn tempura was so light and fluffy, chicken katsu was crisp and tasty. The service was great and a lovely ambience too.

the food is so nice 😏☹️❤️😍✂️😘🥳👩🏻‍🦲🔞🤩🥺😂👍😀💔👌😊😒🦶🖕💋🥛🦅🦅

Delicious and authentic Japanese food, just as you might find in Osaka itself. We had a lovely meal after the rugby. Friendly and attentive service and good value.

The food and service were excellent. My wife and I ordered a number of dishes and couldn't be more please. Everything tasted amazing, was prepared quickly and the server's were all friendly and pleasant. We will definitely be adding it to our list of date venues.

Delicious food, wonderful service, and the restaurant itself is so beautiful! Love it here, one of my favourite restaurants

Best sushi place in Cardiff. Staff are very friendly and promptly address requests. The food was really good.

Great atmosphere, but limited menu items available and I've personally had some issue with the service, but the place looks great and food was tasty.

Osaka, formerly Ichiban, Japanese kitchen & restaurant situated in the heart of Canton, Cardiff Opening times for lunchtime set meal deals 12 - 2:30pm I have tried the many dishes on the menu, and I must admit I have been extremely satisfied with them all My fave is the chicken fried rice (with extra garlic, of course.) This dish comes with a salad, 3 fried dumplings and special dipping suaces. Extremely satisfying food I have met the chefs, and they perform great dishes which are tasty and affordable These guys also open in the evening too Great eating out experience Thanks many times over Dale PS: check out my youtube channel 'ELYITE' for product reviews, the paranormal & also consumer issues

Love this place so much- the sashimi is fresh and delicious and the staff are delightful

Really good food and service. Highly recommend.

Great place with great staff and wonderful Japanese food, visited with a friend on Thursday night I had Nike Yasai Itame, the beef was cooked to perfection and my friend had Tuna Sashimi and chicken Teriyaki, all really fresh and tasty, 5 stars excellent

Went here with a meetup group of about 15 people and the restaurant was very kind to accomodate all of us during a Saturday lunch-time with quick service of tasty food and drinks. I do recommend trying their combo meals that they offer (8-10 combos) each for 11.50. Also go for the sushi platter if you would like to try a few different types of Sushis.

I'm a Japanese food novice, but I had a fantastic meal here. Good service, well priced and very tasty!

The food here is the best! It is always presented beautifully and fresh, quality ingredients. The staff are warming and friendly and nothing is too much. I come here every year for my birthday and my mother's as it's the best Japanese cuisine around.

I ordered a delivery from this restaurant and it was the worst meal I’ve ever eaten in my life, i would’ve rated 0 stars if that was an option. Had a Katsu curry it was so grim I wouldn’t recommend anyone trying it. Don’t be fooled by the fake reviews saying it’s good, trust me it’s not.

By far the worst Japanese I’ve ever had. Very sloppy, soggy, flavourless food. Absolutely disgusting.

This was the worst food I’ve ever eaten! How the hell is this 4 star! Fake reviews!

I ordered a takeaway from this restaurant, it was disgusting and extremely over priced! Will never order from this place again!

Food quality is poor, fake wasabi and edamame beans were like mashed potato

Always good food and friendly staff

Amazing as always. Friendly service and hands down the best sushi around

Delicious food and lovely staff.

Good food good service, one exception the soft shell crab was a little flavourless.

Love this place. Great value. Great quality

lovely food arrived hot fresh and quicker than expected brilliant service

Great size menu with lots of variety all cooked or prepared with a great love and passion for Japanese cuisine. Best sushi in Cardiff too.... Highly recommend!

Excellent service and lovey fresh food
