Korean kitchen ZEN Dotonboriten — Restaurant in Osaka

Incredible!

From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality and mouthwatering aroma of grilled meats let us know we were in for a treat. The service was attentive without being overbearing—our server patiently explained the menu and even gave us tips on grilling everything to perfection.

We ordered the premium combo, which came with beautifully marbled cuts of beef, pork belly, and chicken, all seasoned to perfection. Each bite was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The side dishes (banchan) were fresh and plentiful—kimchi, pickled radish, japchae, and more kept our taste buds dancing between each grill session.

What really set this place apart was the quality of the ingredients and the thoughtful touches—like real charcoal grills, fresh lettuce wraps, and homemade sauces. The vibe was lively but not overwhelming, making it perfect for a night out with friends or even a special date night.

The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome right away. There’s a wide variety of food on the menu, so it’s easy to find something you’ll enjoy, whether you’re into classic dishes or want to try something different. It’s also a great spot for families. The atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s clear they’ve made an effort to be kid-friendly. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes and overall quality. Overall, I’d give this place a 9/10. It’s definitely worth checking out. Just one small tip—make sure to double-check the address when booking a table, as there are multiple branches and it’s easy to get...

Ordered Japanese AYCE for $5000 yen for two. Gas stove was on without a flame when we were seated, we weren't told to order via our phones, gave us 120 minute instead of 90 minute AYCD, meat was not very good, only a couple pieces of the wagyu were wagyu-like, bibimbap was not good, smoke ventilator above grill wasn't very effective, we had to manually position our grill under the ventilation as well, lots of the wagyu pieces had excessive untrimmed fat on the ends or back. Only pro is there was no line and the seating is really cool, traditional style floor seating. Would not recommend. Even Gyu Kaku is better than this...
