Katsudon Yoshibei Namba Doguyasuji — Restaurant in Osaka

Another walk-too-fast-and-you'll-miss-it single-stall joint that is easy to overlook but definitely worth a visit. You order with a machine that has pictures and English options so no Japanese is required. The menu however is basically all very Japanese food (lots of raw egg). Think of it as a more traditional less fast food version of Matsuya.

While the food is quite good and the menu very expansive with a lot of options, what is the eye-dropping part is the value. You get extremely large portions for the price here - in fact some of the rice bowls are actually a bit on the too large side so arrive hungry.

It's mostly counter seating here and the place is quite small so there...

This restaurant is located on Dōguya-suji, a famous street in Namba. It offers katsudon—a popular and delicious Japanese dish consisting of deep-fried pork cutlet simmered with egg and broth, served over rice—at a very reasonable price. However, please note that it only has counter seating, so as anyone with common sense would understand, it’s a place to grab a quick, satisfying meal before moving on to your next destination. While the atmosphere is pleasant, it’s not meant for lingering. Thank you for your understanding—this helps ensure that many people can enjoy the great taste this place...

First stop after arriving to Namba station before checking in to our hotel nearby. My friend and I were able to snag a spot right away and the food was prepared and delivered quickly. I ordered the pork cutlet set and my friend the curry. Pork was tender and perfectly crisp! I always love the shredded cabbage salad and dressing - so refreshing. I ended up giving my friend half my rice to soak up the generous helping of curry in his dish.

Overall great experience and...
