Osaka Japanese Steak & Lobster House is a welcome additional to the culinary offerings in Newport.
I say "It's about time!!"
You can only eat so much fast food before your cholesterol levels peak out. When I saw the advertisement for Osaka I must admit, I was pretty skeptical. Especially after the cockroach story about Golden Dynasty that ran in the Cosby High School newsletter last year. There are some things small towns don't do well and Asian foods is often one of them.
I gathered my family and off we went to the new eatery which is located in the west end of town in one of the brand new shopping plaza's.
I was impressed with how clean the place was and even though the decor was simple, it was spotless. The service was great and the food was good too.
The prices for a combination lunch which can include steak and chicken, chicken and shrimp, scallops, salmon, and even filet mignon start at $9.95.
Combination Dinners start at $13.95 and include a bowl of chicken broth soup (very good) a super fresh garden salad with some of the best ginger dressing I've had, fried rice, and asian noodles with veggies. Those are just the fixin's that come WITH your combo! My favorite is the filet and lobster - it's out-of-this world!
Osaka also offers a limited Sushi menu and since my kids are the Sushi eaters I can only share with you their enthusiasm for the California Rolls which they say are very good.
All in all, this place gets a thumbs up. It's a great place to take a date or even a nice place to take someone for a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion.
I hope Newport will support this establishment and keep them with us a while.
