Osaka Sushi's knife-wielding kitchen staff slices an array of ocean-snatched sushi dishes and crafts flame-kissed entrees, incorporating distinctive twists into its menu of traditional cuisine. Engage in games of mouth lacrosse with the Salt Lake City Weekly–praised avocado bomb, a delectable orb of avocado-covered soft-shell crab, spicy tuna, and spicy crab ($9.95). The Rock & Roll maki envelops smoked salmon, eel, shrimp, and avocado within the snug embrace of seaweed and cucumber ($10.95) and precisely portioned cuts of nigiri inspire beach envy as they sprawl atop ricey atolls ($3+/2-piece order). In the kitchen, chefs simmer slices of beef and vegetables in a hot spring of teriyaki sauce to form the beef donburi ($9.50). Osaka flings open its doors for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays, filling midday breaks and adventure-hungry flatware with lunch combos that include platefuls of fresh sushi or crisp tempura ($11.95+).
