Sukiyaki Shabu-Shabu Kobe beef Ishida — Restaurant in Osaka

Nice ambience, polite service and great food, what else do we need?

I got a lunch special Kobe beef sukiyaki set and it was wonderful. The meat simply melts in your mouth, leaving that lovely wagyu flavor to explode in your taste buds. The egg gives a creamy texture to each bite, and the veggies give that nice crunch to make you feel good about the dish. Price was just below ¥6000 which was just for the dish, and they also have fancier versions for dinner time.

I was seated in a private 2 person room, which was really interesting, and I didn't even have a reservation (it was a Saturday, but I did arrive before noon).

Service was efficient, direct to the point and everyone was professional.

Overall, a great place to have sukiyaki...

We arrived at this restaurant by taxi during our travels and were very hungry, so we forgot to take a photo of our meal. The taste was very authentic, and we tried one of Japan's famous dishes called Shabu-shabu. The meat was very fragrant and came in large pieces! It was even smoother after dipping it in the raw egg. The vegetables were also very fresh, and the service was great. The staff even tried to communicate with us using English because they could tell we were foreigners. The cleanliness of the restaurant deserves a 10 out of 10. We were very satisfied with our experience, and we'd recommend our friends who are traveling to...

🚨 BE CAREFUL of foreigner scam! 🚨 This place scams english people by adding hidden costs that equate to 1/5th of the meal.

Hidden $20pp foreigner fee on top of $200pp meal Hidden 10% servicing fee. Other fancy dinings don't have this e.g. Tokyo Tax not included in original pricing. This one's ok, but our other fancy restaurants included it.

Altogether for 2 people, we paid $484 instead of $400 which was on the japanese menu. The owner's reply to the message is fake news - you can check the menus in the restaurant yourself for proof.

Also the service was minimal compared to other...
