Osaka Express Grill James City in New Bern

I LOVE the beef pho! Number 351 is my fave. Try the summer rolls. The flavor is mild and the sauce is tasty. Try an avocado bubble tea. So good! Their sushi is really good, too.

Absolutely Love This Place!!!!!! The Owner Is The Sweetest😁

Our server Kim was super friendly and patient as we decided what to order (the menu is huge). Our food was excellent, arrived quickly, and portions were big! Get a bubble tea to wash down those spring rolls and fried cream cheese (trust me it's great)and then dig into one of many main dishes. Sake, wine, and beer also available but I was driving 😢. Give it a try!

Food was interesting. Service was great! Dim atmosphere.

Good food fast service! it's all good!

Great food and fast service. Me and my son enjoyed our meal in a comfortable atmosphere. Will certainly be returning again.

My family is not usually into ethnic foods but this place does have something for every1! We love to pick something up to take home & the longest wait time from the time that u place ur order is 10mins- outstanding! I wish they still had a location outside of Jamescity BC then we would go more.

Yummy food and good service

One of the first restraunts open after the hurricane. Absolutely loved it and went back 3 times after. Literally everything is good. Waiter was a nice guy to. I hope his hurricane problems worked out

My first experience with this restaurant was outstanding. The chicken pho is delicious and will keep you coming back for more! Very friendly service staff too!

Also called Saigon Pho this restaurant specializes in authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Great Pho bowls. If that's what you're looking for, I give a five star recomendation. The sushi was good. Not great but good. Other Asian standards like fried rice were below my expectations. So overall this is a mixed review. Update: In recent visit to Osaka Express Grill I saw their summertime outdoor seating option. Nice.

Good as always. I'm sorry to hear that it is closing.

1st time here. Bun dishes are fantastic. Very flavorful and fresh. Will definitely be back.

Pho and sushi were AMAZING!!!! ( I put Sriracha in mine so it's red)! We will definitely be coming back!! Service was fast and staff was friendly!

Me and my mother grab takeout from here all the time, we love it; thank you for the great memories 😌

Always delicious food and friendly staff!

Food is good and prices okay!

The restaurant itself is clean and inviting. The service is awesome and the food was impeccable. I'll be back.

I love it! Intimate dining experience, sensational flavors.

Food was decent, prices a bit steep for the platter size. Chicken and broccoli dish was extremely salty

Bubble tea is great! Appetizers were good. Our main dishes were bland. They are very stingy with the meat. Not what I'm used to when I order Bun. They would not resolve the issue with the lack of meat. The just offered to take my food back and not charge me for it. After waiting so long I decided to keep my nearly meatless dish and just pay for it. Not satisfied. Waitress was nice.

It’s a great place to sit down and eat

Always love the sake and sushi!

The food was absolutely delicious!!

Excellent food and location is nearby for us.

Fantastic food selection. Quite overwhelming selection in a good way. I've had Phó in a few different states and this is one of my new favorites. Portions come in one size unfortunately, which is why I bumped down the rating. The preparation and portions of the food is great and the taste is nothing to be played with. What I mean is that you can definitely eat anything you order without having to add anything at all. Boba (bubble tea) is really delicious here as well. I've eaten at other places in Southern North Carolina that serves the same style of food, and I'll give you some personal advice: Don't waste your time and money. Come straight here for your Vietnamese and Japanese dining.

The food is good, not too expensive. Lots of menu options to include Bubble Tea. Sometimes the wait is long, so don't go if you're in a hurry or call ahead.

This place is one of me and my wife's regular spots! I would suggest trying the Bun dish, I prefer grilled chicken in mine. The dish is light and kind of refreshing being it's not a hot plate. If you want something warm and can feel soothing after a hangover try the Pho soup. The bowl is huge and you shouldn't be disappointed in the the taste.

I got steak and shrimp with noodles. It has onions and carrots and a mushroom or two. It was good. Fresh and hot with a good flavor. I ordered at the drive thru and it only took a few minutes. The person at the window was nice. They had a 100% sanitation grade. Came with plastic fork, soy sauce and a fortune cookie.

Excellent food! Owners were very attentive and exceptionally nice. Portions were small but delicious none the less

Sushi, Pho, Bubble Tea, fried cream cheese, and salad with ginger dressing were all really good. Wouldn't order the fried rice again as it was very plain. We were seated right away and food arrived in a timely manner. Fair prices. Our server wasn't the best. But then again...she wasn't the worst😉

We have ate here many, many times over many years. I can honestly say that the portions have continued to get smaller. On our most recent trip we could NOT eat our carrots! What happened to those sweet melt in your mouth vegies. Yuck, from a can and not seasoned at all. Hopefully this was just maybe a shortage for the day. Please put the carrots back!! We dont mind paying for the food, dont cut the portions. I should say staff is ALWAYS nice.

My wife and I came here for lunch and we were impressed with the ambiance of the restaurant. She started with the clear soup with was savory and flavorful for just being a broth with mushrooms and onions in it. Afterwards, she had the yakisoba. For the most part the dish was good but this restaurant doesn't use thick noodles in this classic Japanese dish. Instead they used a thin, almost angel hair pasta that was good but not reminiscent of actual yakisoba. I had the volcano roll and the pho dac biet. The sushi was phenomenal and well-priced unlike most places that offer sushi in the area. My pho was amazing. I didn't add any sauces to the broth because it was flavorful and complex. I added jalapenos and bean sprouts because I enjoy the added crunch to the dish. I would highly recommend both the sushi and pho but I can't say that I recommend the yakisoba.

Great Pho! Appetizers were great! Bubble tea 😊❤

I got a chance to introduce my fiancee to a new food while trying one of her favorite restaurants. After my first visit, I have to recommend this as the BEST Asian restaurant I have been to in North Carolina.

Great authentic food, wonderful service and a welcoming atmosphere

Tucked away at end the of a little strip of shops is this little Vietnamese restaurant with delicious food and they even have a drive thru

Has great soba noodle soup if you get the combo it's worth it too. It comes with light batter fried 2 long shrimp, summer squash, zucchini, mushroom, a orange squash. Really delishious with the soup.

a great restaurant with very tasty crab soup and Vietnamese food. I love coming here for lunch when I am nearby at lunchtime.

Absolutely love the Pho here. We regularly come here and get the house special. Service is sometimes sub par but has been much better lately.

We are sad to hear the construction of the new road has brought you to decide to retire early. After 19 years of serving our family and the community fresh food fast, we wish you the best.

Yummy! Great price and service

Osaka is extremely busy tonight. I just want to recognize the staff who are handling an overwhelming volume of orders. They are keeping their cool and working hard to deliver yummy food to everyone. Great job!

Delicious food, friendly staff

We've visited this location several times during our trips to New Bern. We always have fast and friendly service on top of delicious food.

Although this restaurant is not easy to get to it is worth finding it. The broth for the Pho is homemade and the best I’ve had in several years. Food is of the highest quality. Staff is friendly. I will be going back soon.

I love this place PHO all the right reasons!

Nice and yummy grill restaurant. Beautiful place to hangout.

Pretty good service and food is ready very fast.

Rice on sushi rolls was a little too sticky which created a non so appealing texture. Yakisoba with steak and chicken was cooked great, excellent taste and price!
