" If you're looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience, this is the place to visit! The atmosphere is serene, and the food is to die for! My favorites included the rock shrimp tempura and the seafood udon—I was blown away! The service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend making reservations as it fills up quickly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Their menu is definitely varied and features some unique items. I loved the fresh flavors of the cascading sauces they use, but I felt that some of the prices were a little steep for the portion sizes. Ambiance was lovely, and service was adequate, just wish they would take more time to engage with their customers. Worth a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to try Izakaya Osen, but sadly it didn't live up to my expectations. The sushi was good but honestly not anything that stood out; I've had better elsewhere in the area. The atmosphere was lovely, but the service could use some improvement. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious and fresh food! I tried multiple items from the menu with my family, and we were all impressed. The kindness of the staff was also a huge plus. We particularly loved the yakitori and crab salmon roll. It's one of those places where you'll want to try everything. I'd recommend making a reservation as it gets crowded during weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Osen after hearing about it from friends, and it did not disappoint! The omakase was fantastic, with a wide variety of fresh fish. I particularly enjoyed the caviar and uni combination. Just be mindful that it does get busy, so it's wise to call ahead for a reservation. Overall, a wonderful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience overall! From the moment we stepped in, the service was friendly and inviting. Our server was knowledgeable and helped us pick out the most popular dishes. The miso black cod was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the assorted sushi platter was a feast for the eyes and taste buds. Definitely coming back and bringing friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is fantastic! The food is exceptional, especially the omakase bowl; each bite was bursting with flavor. The staff was very attentive without being intrusive, making us feel well taken care of. Not to mention the stylish decor which added to the overall experience. We walked away satisfied and excited for our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
