Osaka Reading is an absolute gem and easily one of the finest Japanese restaurants in town. The sushi here is exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Each bite feels like a true taste of Japan, with a perfect balance of ingredients and flavors. The atmosphere is another highlight, with a cozy yet elegant ambiance that makes you feel instantly at ease. Whether you're there for a casual lunch or a special dinner, the setting is just right. The staff is attentive and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience. If you're looking for top-notch Japanese cuisine in Reading, Osaka is the place to go. It's become one of my favorite spots, and I can't wait for my next visit.

Osaka in Reading is hands down my favorite sushi and Japanese restaurant in the world! Every time I'm in Reading, I make it a point to visit. The food here is simply incredible—everything on the menu is delicious and prepared to perfection. Considering it's located in a shopping center, it's as good as it can be. Be prepared to queue at peak times if you don’t have a reservation, but trust me, it’s worth the wait. The quality and shine through in every dish, from the sushi to the ramen. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff always provide excellent service. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine, Osaka is an absolute must-visit.

It was the 2nd time I visited Osaka in a month. Hot and cold dishes were both fantastic. Staff is friendly and professional. It is a great place for high-quality Japanese food that I would recommend it to friends and keep visiting.

MARUGAME UDON REVIEWS

I recently dined at Marugame Udon Reading and was blown away by both the food and service. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and attended to. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. The food itself (Chicken Katsu Curry) was outstanding - each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It's evident that the chefs take pride in their craft. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and I can't wait to return!

A regular customer here love Vegan Creamy Udon my favourite and an extra onsen egg on top. The tempura options are also fab.Thank you to Kulwinder and Dipu friendly great customer service, clean tasty and delicious food always.

A lovely surprise! Such a nice welcoming from all the staff, they all looked really happy and enthusiastic about work! Fantastic service and atmosphere, lovely place. Really easy to order as well, a tried the chicken katzu udon, signature dish. Freshly cooked in front of you, served with a smile ! Thanks LOLLO for your great service. Highly recommended.

KOROKO REVIEWS

I went to Kokoro today and ordered my favourite pumpkin katsu curry. They did not have any so the lady at the till asked me if I can wait 5 minutes to which I agreed. 15 minutes go by and it still was not ready. I was not in the best mood already but staff said it would be extra 2minutes. In the end the lady gave me free spring rolls and a large instead of the regular pumpkin katsu I ordered. This really made my day! I would recommend kokoro Reading to everyone and wish all the best to the nice lady who upgraded my order without asking her to do so.

I tried sweet and sour chicken with rice here and gyoza and fell in love! Very very delicious, big portion (at least for me, I took some home because I couldn't finish in one go) and nice prices.

I LOVE the food here. The staff is also really nice to be fair. Not very big, but clean, reasonably priced, and delicious food.
