Isomaru Suisan Namba Nankai-dori — Restaurant in Osaka

Revisited Isomaru Suisan after five years, but this time was with my family members. . In the beginning, we got Grilled Freshly Caught Seafood Set. It included squid, fresh hamaguri, freshwhole scallop and red prawn. The scallop was huge and juicy, the squid was chewy but tasted a bit blant.

We ordered Crab Miso Kourayaki as well, which was crab innards grilled with shell. Definitely the signature dish of the resto! The crab paste was rich, making it smelled fragrant. Esp enjoyable when u had them with rice.

Then, we got 4-colour Isomaru Bowl, which included salmon, tuna, negitoro and yellow tail. The sashimi was fresh but a bit thinly-sliced. We also got Luxurious and Overflowing Bite-sized Sushi and Nigiri Sushi. The overflowing sushi was mouthful, but I didnt really appreciate the sea grapes on top.

Hitting my face, my arm, my shirt, my pants... they cleaned the floor... not a F..ing word of apology. The customers were having a blast laughing... I expressed my discontent, switched places, finished pissed 😤, price? Exactly as listed, not a discount or remorse. I wouldn't go again, but if you do, do not sit next to the...

We had the abalone and scallops. The abalone was just okay but the scallops were delicious and tender. The snow crab and sashimi set is a must get. The mayo crab shell was very filling and overhyped, best to only order one and the bread on the side to go with it. The luxurious overflowing sushi was also pretty good. The sours are good but be sure to mix it as all the alcohol is on the top and is quite bitter if not mixed well😅. Ordering was online which made it a bit easier but wish the platform directly matched the menu as it was hard to find the items. Service was pretty fast and...
