Chuka Shunsai Morimoto — Restaurant in Osaka

Rip-off merchants. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! The audacity to charge ¥8750 for the meal we were served was an insult.

The food is ridiculously bad, I ordered steamed chicken with leek sauce and it looked undercooked. The Peking """duck""" was a piece of skin with no meat on top of a single prawn cracker. The pork dish was belly (the worst fattiest cut) without mentioning it on the menu.

The mabo tofu was ok.

Speaking of, there is an English menu, which is appreciated, but it's barely usable with the names of the dishes clipping or nonsensical.

One of the waiting staff did her best with the language barrier, the other was just rude and dumped dishes onto the table.

Oh and they were playing the same four...

We found the place on Google maps and visited tad reluctantly. It was in a basement and the staff did not understand English.

However we were surprised at the food which we could order using an English menu. We started with a chef special steamed chicken starter which was out of the world - the cold steamed chicken blended beautifully with the chilli, coriander and the sesame. Infact was so good that we ordered twice. The Xiaolong Bao was fantastic and so was the fried rice. The Schezwan chicken was great too- in drinks, the plum wine and the lemon sour were both fantastic.

We loved the place and relished good. One of our best...

Food is so amazing, can’t praise more. The problem is terrible service, the staff ( the one only can speak English) looks he didnt want to serve non-Japanese customers. It’s the worse service I’ve experienced in Japan, he greeted Japanese customers with a smile but when turned to us, switched to poker face. Look at the photo of 麻婆tofu, the staff should spray some sesame after it come on the table, he quickly twisted the sesame bottle but nothing drop and he didn’t check then leave to serve other customers. I don’t think this is acceptable...
