Luxu Wagyu YAKINIKU Restaurant AsukaZa — Restaurant in Osaka

I love Japanese beef so I make it a point to eat it every time I’m in Japan. I had looked up many Japanese Yakiniku restaurants reviews before I settled on going to this place for dinner as the restaurant uses charcoal grill vs gas. Upon entering the restaurant, the staff tried to sit me at their dining room upstairs. I didn’t enter the room as I was told to do so barefooted (at least that was my understanding using google translate). Instead I chose to dine at the bar/counter. I had a very accommodating waitress trying to take my order showing me pics and translations on her phone as I tried to ordered beef that has the right amount of marbling. I also ordered a rice with soup so it feels more like a meal. They brought an appetizer that is a stew of unknown meat (tasted like pork) & konjac. They have an electronic menu but I placed my order with the waitress since the menu does not have a detailed description. I ended up ordering the ramshin, ichibo and chazuke. I was served the chazuke which had raw beef on top. I had thought it was merely rice in broth. Since I can’t change/cancel the order, I decided to put the beef on the charcoal grill instead. Whilst I was trying to point out to the waitress that I’m unaware of the rice having raw beef, the beef for the grill was served. Immediately I noticed there were salt and pepper on top of the meat and I had specifically told the waitress many times when I placed my order “NO SALT & PEPPER, NO SEASONING” She had repeated and acknowledged my request. So once again I pointed out to her that my order was incorrect. She proceeded to communicate to the other staff what had transpired. They removed the plate and took it aside. Instead of preparing another plate of beef, I could see another staff attempting to wipe off the salt and pepper. I couldn’t see clearly if he was using a paper kitchen towel/cloth towel. I was flabbergasted especially since the restaurant is highly rated and it was the mistake of the waitress failing to inform on my request. Anyway, I reminded her that I had stated many times “No salt & pepper, no seasoning” She then admitted to her mistake and said that not to worry but that plate will be kept for the employees and they will prepare another plate instead… The ramshin was too lean and the ichibo was ok but I was quite sure the first plate of meat looked better. I tried to place more order as I was still not full. Since the ordering process did not go well and the ichibo wasn’t as good as what I had in Tokyo, I tried to order the meat that was initially shown to me at the very beginning of the night prior to placing any order. The waitress was no longer available and I finally gave up and asked for the check. They tried to charge me 20% service charge. I used google translate to check since the total amount was 30% more than the total amount displayed on the tablet. I enquired with the staff and he informed me that the charge is for switching out the plate of meat to one without salt and pepper. At that point, I was quite disgusted as he was the same person who tried to wipe the salt and pepper off the meat. I told him that I should not have to pay for the waitress’s mistake especially since I had stated to her MANY times to not put salt and pepper on the meat. He amended the bill after I agreed to pay for their norm of 10% service charge which I later confirmed is not the common practice/norm in Japan/Japanese restaurants unless it is in a fancy establishment which in this case wasn’t. I should not have stayed the moment I was told I had to walk barefoot on their floor. So no re-visit and I definitely do not recommend. Due to this experience, I tried to look for another Yakiniku for the night but gave up since it was too late into the night for any good options. The quality of the food is definitely not worth the...

A Hidden Yakiniku Gem in an Osaka Alley

Tucked away in a quiet alley in Osaka, this yakiniku spot is a true hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely top notch. The staff take care of everything for you – they grill each cut of meat to perfection and even help share the entrees into small plates, making the experience feel both personal and seamless.

We chose to order à la carte instead of the set menu, as we were on a mission to try all the ox tongue dishes – and we’re so glad we did. Every dish was delicious, with the green onions adding the perfect burst of freshness to the rich, savory meat.

The real standout of the night was the Koune Grilled Shabu Shabu Negi-Maki – four pieces for just 1,280 yen. The beef was incredibly marbled, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and honestly unbelievable for the price. It’s not easy to find on the menu (kind of a hidden item), but trust me, it’s an absolute must-try.

If you appreciate warm, attentive service, a calm and intimate setting, and truly high-quality food, this place is a must. Highly recommended – we’ll...

사전에 어떠한 리뷰 이벤트를 받거나 서비스를 받아 작성한게 아닙니다. 아버지가 지어주신 이름석자 걸고 맹세합니다.

출국전에 구글으로 예약하고 이용했습니다 도톤보리나 다른가게들은 한국인들이 전부 장악하고있어서 .. 진심리뷰인지 .. 뇌물공세인지 구분이안가서 알아보고 또알아보고 예약했습니다 오사카 일정 유니버셜 스튜디오 를 마무리로 돌아가는길에 식사했는데요

일단 분위기는 너무 좋습니다. 발을 아래에 둘수있는 좌식 테이블이구요. 한국인도 없고 일본현지사람들이 많이 식사하시는 곳 같았습니다. 그래서 한국어패치가 잘안되어있습니다. 직원분이 한점한점 정성스럽게 다 구워주시는데 일본어가 안된다면 영어라도 조금 할줄 알면 스몰토크도 하고 먹는방법도 추천받으면서 즐거운 식사 가능합니다. 요새는 파파고가 너무 잘되어있어서. 솔직히 식사만 하는데는 문제는 없습니다. 직원분들이 고기를 인원수 별로 팍팍 구워주시기 때문에 적당히 배가 좀차면 쉬는시간을 달라고 하거나 조금 천천히 진행해달라고 하면 천천하게 즐길수있게 구워주셔요 (친절합니다 직원들)

고기는 다들 세트메뉴 먹었던데 저는 그냥 샤토브리앙 200g. 부채살 2인분(2명이서 먹기 너무많다고 1인분으로 하는게 어떻겠냐고 물어봐서 1인분만 먹었네요), 치마살 2인분, 파말이 우설1인분 호가든 맥주2. 소주하이(츄하이) 6잔 정도 먹었구요

가격은 서비스비용 , 세금 포함해서 2만900엔 나왔습니다. 서비스비용이 10% 있는데 좋은고기 홀라당 태워먹는것보단 충분히 값어치 한다고 생각합니다. 비싸다고 생각하시는분들은 패스하셔요

가격은 그렇고 맛은 어떠하냐 저는 야끼니꾸가 간장? 갈비소스? 그렇게 먹으니까 많이 느끼하고 물렸었는데 여기는 소금이 메인입니다. 그리고 질 좋은 숯불을 사용하구요. 환기 팬이 크기때문에 옷에 냄새도 잘 안배겼어요

소스는 기본 천일염과. 핑크솔트. 히말라야 솔트라고 하신거 같았는데 넓고 얇은 결정으로 된 소금이 있고 마늘다짐, 시그니처 인듯한 말린다시마 절임 무침? 감칠맛 최고입니다. 그리고 와사비 있습니다.

소스는 부위별로 직원분들이 추천을 해주시기 때문에 기호에 맞게 드시거나 추천을 받은 대로 드시면 됩니다.

제일중요한 고기는 Top 1 샤토브리앙입니다. 말해 뭐합니까. 샤토브리앙인데 ! 알맞게 구워주시는데 약간 미디엄하게 주십니다. 기호에 맞게 덜익은거 안좋아하시는분들은 조금더 익혀달라고 요청하시면 됩니다. 입에서 녹아사라지는데 풍미가 어마무시하구요 한장밖에 못찍은 샤토브리앙을 큰 피스로 주시기때문에 입안가득 육즙이 넘칩니다. 사치스러운 맛 그자체..

Top2 부채살 인데 채끝 등심 처럼 생겼어요(제가 못알아 들었을수도... 메뉴판 확인하고 수정할게요) 이거 얇은 한장 센불에 파바박 구워서 주시는데 생강초절임 을 한가득 싸서 아무것도 찍지말고 드셔보라고 직원분이 추천해주세요 와 이건진짜 요물입니다. 소고기 기름의 풍미와 생강 초절임의 향이. 잘어우러져서. 처음먹어보는 맛을 느꼈네요. 엄청 깔끔하고 샤토브리앙으로 약간 느끼해져갈 속을 리프레쉬 해주는 메뉴였습니다.

Top3 우설 파말이. 일본 야끼니꾸의 꽃이죠 우설 다른집들은 기름이 많고 두껍게 썰어주는 가게가 많던데 엄청 느끼하다는 리뷰가 많더라고요 여기는 1인분에 얇게 6조각 정도 나오구요 센불에 화르륵 구워서 파무침 을 고기로 싸주시는데 기호에따라 다른 추가 소스 ( 마늘~와사비) 곁들여 먹으셔도 좋고 정말 맛있습니다. 대신 입에서 녹는 부위는 아니에요) 정말 적당히 야들하면서 쫄깃쫄깃한 부위로 준비해주셨고 이를 식사전에 사전공지해주셔요 우리집은 씹는맛이 있는 고기다 라고

Top4 치마살 한국인이 좋아하는 기름 풍미와 부드러움 그자체입니다. 야들야들한 고기가 또 생각나게 하네요 .. 제 기준 맛 돌이 랭킹이고 사람기호에따라 다르게 느낄수있는점 감안해주세요 순위는 의미가 없을정도로 메뉴들이 좋습니다 너무 신선해요!

우메다쪽 여행계획짜시는 한국인분들에게 도움이 되었으면 하는마음에 리뷰를 진심을 담아 작성합니다.

*저희는 2차 약속이 있어서 위에 설명드린 메뉴 외 식사는 안해봐서 잘모릅니다 !

저렇게 다먹었는데 후식 디저트도 안먹어도 될정도로 느끼함이나 더부룩함 이런게 없었어요

강 력 추 천 합 니 다.

친절히 맞아주신 가게 여러분들 좋은추억...
