Chef Thomas Wakasugi is a Japanese classicist with a unique twist. Though he was born in Japan, his sushi experience has all been acquired in Houston. And his soft-shell crawfish, sweet shrimp and raw beef-like toro creations all suggest that he has developed a knack for fitting Japanese sushi to the Texan palate.

  • 2010 | Best Sushi

    It's refreshing when you find a place that's as genuinely comfortable as it is delicious, and that's exactly our experience at Osaka. The menu at this diminutive Japanese joint isn't mind-blowing, but it's consistently refreshing, with delicious... More >

  • 2007 | Best Sushi

    Nestled into a small Montrose-area strip mall, this place has been a favorite of neighborhood patrons for some time. Osaka serves up some of the largest and freshest pieces of sashimi a person can find in the city. The salmon is always so... More >

    It's the dish that sushi lovers and aficionados test any spot by: toro, or fatty tuna. Specifically, it's the cut of fatty meat along the fish's belly. A bad cut yields junk; a precise cut offers perfectly marbled flavor and a buttery texture.... More >

    Tired of Turkey?

    By Robb Walsh | Thu, November 28, 2002

    Bright red and streaked with fat, the large slab of raw meat glistens invitingly. It looks like a quarter-inch-thick slice of raw filet mignon. But it's toro, the fatty underbelly meat of the bluefin tuna. I bite off as much as I can chew. It tast... More >

    The best and freshest Sushi around! I like it because it has a cozy atmophere, dim lighting and it's a great place for a date or birthday dinner. The people that work there are super nice and they always give complimentary dishes to try. I would recommend the Caterpillar Roll and Kirin Ichiban. It's a must try in the Westheimer/Montrose district.
