Osaka Wagyu Yakiniku Restaurant NIKUYA — Restaurant in Osaka

My family and I came here on our first night in Osaka a couple of days ago. We wanted to eat at a yakinuki restaurant and are so glad we found this location. We got lucky and the 5 of us got seated right away upstairs. The staff and service were very friendly and kind to us, especially since we had our 2 year old son with us. Parents understand how hard it is to take a toddler out to a restaurant, and the friendly gesture towards us as foreigners, made us feel more relaxed.

Food was delicious, meat was on point, service was fast (those beers came out very soon after we ordered through the tablet at our table that had English translations) even though it seemed like they had a full house to manage. We stayed for maybe 2 or 2.5 hours and they never rushed us (we tend to eat a bit slower to make sure our toddler gets fed).

It was a great experience. We ordered a lot of different meats. I would definitely go here again with my family if we stay in the Kitahama area again. Nothing but praise and thanks to the staff and service for being so kind to us. We're grateful! 🙏...

I’ll definitely come back if I...

Meat choices are so fresh, delicious and melt in your mouth! You grill it yourself. We were seated in a small room of three tables, and it’s full of smoke, maybe the exhaust wasn’t too strong. Other than that, definitely recommend this restaurant. Great value for...
