Hirokawa

In terms of food quality, services, pricing, atmosphere, the restaurant performed excellently as many top tier restaurants with higher rating. However, you may not be able to find form other restaurants with higher rating are, the sincereness to provide the best products to customers, the friendl...iness to treat customers as their family members, from the chef and his colleague where we could actually feel.

I have made a reservation at Sushi Hirokawa more than 2 months ago, prior to my visit to Japan, and I have been very excited to finally try the restaurant. I completely paid for it in advance for 2 persons through Pocket Concierge, only to be told last minute, on the day of my travel, thay they had ...to cancel my reservation due to an error made by the clerk for my allocated booking slot. I did not book this 1 or 2 days ago, but months in advance. You would think that a "Michelin" restaurant would be way more professional at handling customers but unfortuntaley this is not the case with Sushi Hirokawa. I hve planned everything for this trip many months in advance, and I am really disappointed that it had to start this way, as informing me last minute didn't even allow me to book at another restaurant, as everything was already fully booked. I will also contact the Michelin guide due to this disrespect and unprofessnalism in dealing with guests. Regards Mohammad

Sushi Hirokawa is a small cosy restaurant that seats only 8 to 10 and not easy to find. It is on the second floor and a small sign in Japanese next to the staircase marks the entrance to the restaurant. They have only 2 seatings of 10 persons every night so it is best to reserve a month ahead. There... is no menu and they only serve Omakase course. Cost is about 14000 yen per person and it is one of the best value for money high end sashimi and sushi restaurant in Osaka. The sashimi and sushi were all extremely fresh and from finer cuts of seasonal fish. All in all there were about 19 servings & we were all full, happy and satisfied after the meal.

This restaurant gave us a warm welcome, even though the staff cannot speak much English l but they try to explain us all the dish we have and they are all delicious.

Reserved a 9 PM tasting a few weeks before I was in Osaka. The two hour dinner was all in all a great experience. Food was incredible and masterfully prepared (virtually no wasted movement behind the counter for the entire 2 hours), service was personable and light hearted, and sake recommendations... on point. Really great value compared to other Edomae style restaurants.
