Gyoza no Ohsho - Shinsaibashi — Restaurant in Osaka

Food: 4/5 for the Gyoza everything else is a 3/5 Service: 4/5 OK service unless busy Value: 4/5 for the Gyoza, everything else is a 3/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Counter and table seating downstairs, table seating upstairs, dated but everything is functional, just expect tourists with their suitcases parked around the tables.

Have dined at this location of Ohsho several times over the years, keep expecting that the other dishes besides the gyoza would improve, sadly that has not the case.

Everything either comes out greasy (like the karaage), or hard like a rock (sweet and sour pork), or bland (fried rice) or the meat just doesn't taste good (scallion/green onion beef).

Recommend just ordering some gyoza and a bowl of rice and maybe some pan fried vegetables since it is very hard to mess that up.

Other Ohsho locations at less touristy areas of Osaka are a lot better in regards to the quality...

This is my first ever review of a restaurant, and I am doing this out of rage. The staff were the rudest, meanest, extremely impolite, and the most impolite out of all the Japanese restaurants I have been to during my vacation in Japan. Two waitresses alternated between our table. Both were cold, harsh, and didn’t say any words or greetings. There was a button on the side of the table to call for the staff service, and I tapped on it three times, and no staff came. I had to call her over to take our order. No water was given to us, and we had to ask for drinks ourselves. When our food arrived, it was okay and all, but there was this disgusting soup that was extremely sweet. The staff literally tossed our dishes onto the table, and didn’t say a word. They even gave the wrong dish to everyone at my table. Never coming back to this...

A Cozy Refuge on a Rainy Day

On a cold and rainy day, I stumbled upon Gyoza no Ohsho - Shinsaibashi, and it was a welcoming haven! Despite being crowded, I was seated quickly and enjoyed a short wait for my food. The counter seating offered a mesmerizing view of the chefs preparing dishes with skill and speed, like culinary magicians!

While the food quality was average, it hit the spot and satisfied my hunger. The gyoza was decent, but not exceptional. However, the convenience and quick service made up for it. If you're looking for a quick fix on a rainy day or need a bite to hold you over, Gyoza no Ohsho is a good option.

Keep in mind that it's not a gourmet experience, but it's a cozy and bustling spot to grab a bite. I'd recommend it for a quick, comforting meal, especially on a chilly day.

(would be 5 if the food was more...
