Last night I went to dinner with some friends at Osaka, a great hibachi restaurant that opened up a few weeks ago, and let me tell you - what a great experience. I definitely don't recommend coming here if you plan on having a quiet dinner or for a first date (walk a block down and go to Regal Beagle) because this place is loud but so much fun nonetheless. There's also a non-hibachi side, so if you not feeling the heat you can pick that side for sushi or what have you. I think what made this hibachi much more special than other ones I've been to is that throughout their "show" the chefs give you free sake out of a squeeze bottle. Yup, you read that right, FREE SAKE!! I mean that's reason enough to go to me. So that's the main reasons why it's so loud since people are chanting when the sake is given out - think of keg stand style chanting. Beer is also pretty cheap ($8 for a large 22oz Japanese beer), but the food is a little pricey ($20-$25 for a meal) but very yummy. Waiters are really attentive and they were always coming over to see if we needed anything, water, etc. We didn't make reservations but were seated right away even though it was still packed, so I would make reservations just in case. Overall, it's a great experience especially for a group of friends and like the chants going on throughout the night, I recommend you "go,go,go".
