Yorokobu — Restaurant in Osaka

I stumbled upon this gem during my trip to Osaka and it was the perfect finale to my holiday! After starting my two-week adventure in Osaka, then visiting Tokyo and Kyoto, I couldn't resist returning to Osaka just for this hotpot experience before flying out the next day – that's how good it was!

The mala hotpot was divine – not overly spicy and numbing, and the broth was so flavorful I could have sipped it all night. The lady attending to us was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel at home, even offering recommendations for other dining spots in Osaka.

I'll definitely be recommending this place to all my friends, and I will be back when visiting Osaka to indulge in another meal here. Truly an unforgettable...

BEST ALL YOU CAN EAT HOTPOT I've ever had! Great price, great quality, and extraordinary customer service: the store owner made sure to bring us more large plates of meat whenever we finished our current plates, we didn't even need to call her over. The all you can eat package also comes with a giant plate of veggies and mushrooms + all you can eat meatballs and tofu curd.

Only thing to watch out for is that the store owner can only speak mandarin, but some simple google translate will solve that problem. She is extremely nice and wholesome if you can speak...

Easily hands down the best Chinese hot pot in Osaka. During my trip to Japan I was craving for hotpot, went to Kyoto,Osaka and Tokyo to try different Chinese hot pot and found yorokobu to be the best. It’s so good that I went to eat it twice and on my last day in Osaka.

The Mala soup is spicy but yet drinkable - not oily. Overall the price is also very cheap. In my honest opinion, the overall vibe and taste of the hotpot is so good that it beats so many hotpot places I’ve had back in Singapore.

A definite must try if you’re in Osaka...
