From start to finish, I was completely satisfied. First of all, be aware that reservations can only be made for 4 people or more! I heard it was difficult to make a reservation, so I made sure to book two weeks in advance, especially since it was the weekend. As soon as we sat down, we were asked about drinks. Since there was no menu, I asked what they had, and they said, "We have everything except for Moscow Mule!" I decided to order a beer, which was easy to drink and went down quickly. Along with the drinks, we were served a salad, kimchi, assorted hormone meats, and harami suji, all of which were really delicious. Before we finished grilling everything, a plate of glasses and lean meats arrived. We enjoyed the delicious meat without stopping, and just when we were running out, the owner asked if we wanted more, so we eagerly said yes. Another assortment of meat arrived, showing their generous spirit. I quickly fell in love with this place. When our drinks were running low, and I asked for a highball, they brought out a pitcher of ice and a whole bottle of whiskey. It was unique, but their excellent service and care made it one of my favorite places. We ate and drank to our heart's content, all for a fixed price of 5000 yen per person. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

You can leave it to the chef and delicious meat keeps coming out. When your beer glass is half empty, they bring you a new beer. The meat is all incredibly tasty and the portions are generous. They also serve delicious cold noodles. There were four of us guys and we couldn't finish everything. And the bill was only 5000 yen per person, which was unbelievable. It was fantastic. We took a picture of the kimchi, but then we got so focused on eating the meat that we forgot to take more pictures. We will definitely go back again!! Thank you for the meal!

Great value for money. The entrance may give the impression of a place that's hard to get a reservation at, with various types of meat available. However, once inside, the service is excellent. They even provide corn tea for pets and allow customers to adjust the strength of their makgeolli. If a man asks for a weaker drink, the owner will explain why he should try a stronger one. It's a unique experience and I want to go back, but getting a reservation is tough.

A friend made a reservation for us and we visited on a weekday night. The place was packed and lively. What surprised me was their ordering style. It was automatic? As soon as we sat down, we were asked if we wanted beer, and it was brought to us right away, one for each person. It was cheap beer, but tasty. The meat kept coming, all fresh and delicious, and the portions were huge. And the kimchi, cold noodles, and curry bibimbap were also delicious! The atmosphere made me feel like I was in Osaka.

Located a little south of the Umeda area, towards the Toganocho area, this restaurant is quite unique and deep. The atmosphere is great, and you can experience the true essence of Osaka. You don't really have to order here. As soon as you sit down, you are served 98 yen draft beer and mysterious meat, followed by more dishes served in a similar style. The cuts of meat are unknown. You simply grill the meat brought to you. The 98 yen draft beer, as stated, keeps coming one after another, endlessly. The bill is a flat rate of 5000 yen. It's a great deal. Enjoy delicious food in a deep and authentic setting. A fantastic restaurant.

It was a year-end party with members I hadn't seen in half a year♪ I requested and made a reservation at a restaurant where the food and drinks were mostly chef's choice, and the cost performance was surprisingly good! I would love to go there every month if possible. The first picture shows the meat, which I thought was eyeglass meat, but turned out to be ○○○○ meat! They also served other delicious meats like the ones used for yukhoe, loin, harami, horumon, all of which were mouth-watering. We finished off with cold noodles and kalbi soup. I ate and drank to my heart's content and it only cost me ○000 yen per person! Make sure to order the large rice because it's delicious! #Meiko-en #Nishi-Tenma #Nishi-TenmaGourmet #OsakaGourmet #Yakiniku #MeatLover #Meatstagram #KansaiGourmet #OsakaYakiniku #HighlyRatedOnTabelog #BestRestaurant

It was the fourth year of Reiwa era. In a month, it would be December, and the Fuma Clan gathered at the yakiniku restaurant "Meikoen" near Taiyoji Temple. This restaurant is so popular that there are no lights on the sign. It's best to use navigation to find the place. However, it's relatively close to Taiyoji Temple, so you shouldn't get lost. Around 7 pm, when our stomachs were growling, we entered the restaurant. Most of the seats were already taken. As soon as the meal started, beer was brought to us. Here, if you place the empty glass on the table with the bottom 3 cm showing, the master will automatically bring more beer. It's an endless cycle. Don't forget the rules of sharing. The food is up to the master's choice. The more we eat, the more delicious dishes keep coming. It's an endless feast. No matter how much we drink or eat, it's only 5,000 yen per person. You won't find such delicious yakiniku anywhere else. We'll definitely come back.

During our popular yakiniku tour, we visited a restaurant with M and N, two food enthusiasts, and a Retty expert. We enjoyed cola for 120 yen, and beer for 98 yen. The kimchi and salad were delicious, with the kimchi's spiciness being a personal favorite. The fresh raw liver was excellent, cut into easy-to-eat pieces and served with a secret sauce that has been passed down for 54 years. The harami muscle had a unique texture that was addictive. The 8-second heart was beautifully seared and had the perfect thickness. The salted tongue was flavorful and juicy. The mukade (a rare part near the pelvis) was sweet and juicy. The megane (another part near the pelvis) was savory and had a great texture. The akasen had a light fat and a pleasant elasticity. The upper mino was well-cut and delicious. The rice was cooked to perfection using high-quality rice. The harami was juicy and flavorful. The rib roast was beautifully marbled and had a great volume. The hane shita was tender and had an ideal thickness. The bara was seared quickly and used as a topping for Korean cold noodles. The uchihira was the highlight of the day, incredibly delicious. The curry bibimbap had a nice curry flavor. The Korean cold noodles had a different texture than usual, but the acidity was refreshing. Overall, the experience at this restaurant was fantastic, and we will continue to explore more delicious places in the future.

At first glance, I wasn't sure if this place was open for business due to its appearance. I decided to leave it to the staff to bring out various meats for me, and I'll stop when I'm full. The drinks are reasonably priced, and they even bring refills without asking. The meat is all fresh and delicious, including some varieties I don't usually eat. The recommendations are spot on. And the cost performance is excellent. It came out to about 5,000 yen for one person. I will definitely be coming back.

It is a great restaurant that is both affordable and delicious! There is no unpleasant smell, and you can taste the umami and sweetness. The kimchi side dish was also excellent. The salad vegetables were crisp, and the tangy dressing paired well with the meat. The sauce is light, allowing the flavor of the meat to stand out.

A popular yakiniku restaurant in Umeda. The menu consists only of drinks, and the meat keeps coming out one after another! You can tell them to stop when you're full. It's a rare style for a yakiniku restaurant! The huge harami is delicious! It's cooked up big and you cut it with scissors in a hearty manner. I was surprised by the delicious curry that came out as a palate cleanser in the middle! It looked like I could eat the whole thing by myself. The restaurant is located in a small building in a residential area. The sign is not lit up, so it might be a bit hard to find! The interior has table seats and sofa seats. The lady in the kitchen was busy preparing the meat. Eating and drinking cost me around ¥5,000 for one person! I will definitely come back for this.

Have you heard of the famous yakiniku restaurant in Nishi-Temmabashi called "Meikoen"? It used to be a hidden gem, but thanks to word of mouth and a popular Instagrammer's recommendation, it has become a must-visit spot. The retro-style interior with yakiniku tables is unique and the master, despite his tough appearance, provides excellent service. The system of refilling your drink when it's 20% left for only 98 yen per glass is great. The food is only available as a set course, and you'll be served meat until you're full - truly a meat lover's paradise. The bill always surprises with its reasonable price. The review details the various dishes enjoyed, ending with a total cost of less than 5000 yen per person. Amazing value for a satisfying meat feast!

Visited in November 2021 with a rating of 3.51 on Tabelog (based on 60 reviews). Had a yakiniku feast at "Yakiniku Meikoen" in Nishi-Temma. The nearest station is Higashi-Umeda. The surprising thing here is not the beer, but the happoshu which has remained at a fixed price of 98 yen since the opening. They only offer an omakase course, not a la carte. Started with salad and kimchi, then various meats kept coming. - Liver: Cook for less than 4 seconds on each side, eat with sesame oil and salt for amazing flavor. - Raw intestine: White raw intestine with a great texture and taste. - Harami tendon: A part with a bit of chewiness, sweetness, and richness. - Megane (glasses) bone: A rare cut around the pelvis, large and flavorful. - Hormone assortment: Fresh mino and teppanyaki, quite tasty. - Meat assortment 1: Tri-tip, rib loin, and skirt steak, exciting! - Meat assortment 2: Asked if we could eat more and got served "Red meat yukhoe," "Harami core," "Tongue tsumire," and "Intestine." - Cold noodles / Curry bibimbap: Had these two as a finishing touch after indulging in meat. The food is delicious, and with happoshu at 98 yen, you can drink as much as you want without worrying. Even after eating and drinking so much, the bill was only 5,000 yen per person, which is really cheap! Thank you for the feast.

[Yakiniku Meikoen] The state of emergency has been lifted, so I met up with some friends I haven't seen in a while (*´艸`). As always, they served us various unique and delicious cuts of meat. This time, we tried a cut that was a bit chewy with sweet fat on the side of the glasses? It was delicious! They also served us rib roast, harami, raw liver, and seared liver, among others. The food is always amazing at Meikoen! On this day, they had some new rice (can't remember the name) that was incredibly tasty, almost good enough to eat on its own (laughs). I had to get a second serving when I tried it with rice (*´艸`). And of course, their famous dog beer was still available (laughs). My friend was going to order a highball, but I ended up having it instead (*´Д`*). For dessert, we had cold noodles first, followed by curry bibimbap. Just when I thought I was full, my friend wanted to try curry cuppa, so we had that too. We ate so much (｡-∀-)ﾆﾋ♪ It was a fun reunion and I look forward to coming back again!

Instagram @rikogurume At Yakiniku Meikouen in Higashi Umeda, the atmosphere is a bit intimidating at first, but the owner is actually really kind! The harami (skirt steak) was so impressive! #HigashiUmedaGourmet #OsakaYakiniku #Meikouen

I made a phone reservation for my first visit to Akarien for yakiniku. The restaurant was full of customers. I ordered the chef's choice yakiniku. The draft beer was amazingly cheap at 98 yen. Thank you! The meal started with salad and kimchi, then came the meat, meat, meat, and more meat! A large piece of meat was served, I forgot which part it was but it was huge! We grilled it and enjoyed it. The meal cost around 12,000 yen for two people. Thank you for the meal!

This is a yakiniku restaurant that I visit 1 to 2 times a year. This year, it was the perfect way to end my business trip in Osaka. They offer 98 yen draft beer, and you can leave the meat selection up to them. No matter how much you eat, the bill is always around 5,500 to 6,500 yen per person. It's like a miracle restaurant! I will definitely be going back next year too!

【Osaka/Umeda】Delicious, cheap, and generous portions! If you want to enjoy a hearty yakiniku meal with all three elements, this is the place to go!! ~ "Yakiniku Meikoen" A new discovery for meat-loving ladies looking for a yakiniku restaurant. This time, I visited "Yakiniku Meikoen," located a 10-minute walk from Higashi-Umeda Station on the Tanimachi Subway Line. When I arrived at the restaurant, half of the shutter was closed and the entrance seemed a bit dark... Upon entering, a well-built owner greeted me. Despite the somewhat hidden appearance, the restaurant was all table seating inside. More and more customers arrived later, and the restaurant was bustling with young students and businessmen. I was surprised when I looked at the menu! The drinks were incredibly cheap!! Beer for only 98 yen!! Highballs for 200 yen! Soft drinks for 120 yen, and they were even served in large mugs! The pricing was truly unbelievable. Now, onto the meat. The system is basically to leave it up to the chef to bring out different cuts of meat for you to grill and enjoy! Once you order your drink, all you have to do is cook the meat as it arrives and eat to your heart's content! Starting with salted tongue, followed by loin and kalbi... a variety of fresh meats were served at a good pace! <Enjoying a variety of meats> - Salted Tongue: A classic, slightly thick cut of salted tongue, best enjoyed with a squeeze of lemon. - Assorted Lean Cuts: The main dish was an assortment of lean cuts! The main meat platter was impressive, with plenty of harami, loin, and hane-shita cuts. - Giant Harami: A large piece of harami grilled on the net! It was incredibly filling! Once cooked, it was cut into easy-to-eat pieces with scissors. - Beef Tripe: Not a fan of tripe, so I only ordered a small portion. The beautifully colored tripe was chewy and delicious! - Curry Stone Bibimbap: The restaurant's specialty curry stone bibimbap was a delightful way to finish the meal. The bibimbap, with minced meat paste and vegetables mixed thoroughly, remained hot and tasty till the end! This restaurant is a must-visit for those who want to indulge in a hearty yakiniku meal. With its generous portions and great quality meat at a low price, it's an amazing yakiniku spot. Thank you for the feast!

Black-haired wagyu beef omakase course with all-you-can-drink alcohol for under 5000 yen! The cost performance is unbelievable at the must-book yakiniku restaurant "Yakiniku Meikoen" where both the quantity and quality are top-notch, as confirmed by gourmet friends. I finally got to visit this place that I've always wanted to go to, and it was simply amazing. I almost don't want to tell anyone about this wonderful restaurant. Located about a 10-minute walk from Umeda Station, in the "Udaganocho area" where accommodation facilities and unique dining establishments are clustered, the restaurant has a dark exterior but inside, it is bright and bustling with many customers. With seating for 30, reservations are recommended for groups of two or more. There doesn't seem to be a menu for meat, so we ordered the omakase course and started with salad and kimchi. The meat show is about to begin...! - Harami suji Beautiful "Harami suji" with a firm texture. Satisfying to eat. The beer just keeps flowing. And the surprising thing here is the price of the alcohol. Prices have remained the same since the restaurant opened. Beer for 98 yen, Chuhai for 200 yen, which is an unbelievable pricing for the Umeda area. It's a dream for drinkers. - Namase mai Refreshing and delicious. The crunchy texture is also good. - Gyutan Gyutan is always delicious. Full of umami. - Megane A new cut called "Megane". It's meat around the pelvic area. Cooked boldly, it develops a crevice. Cut with scissors and finished. Place it on top of hot rice with wasabi and it's just amazing. The rice and alcohol just keep coming... - Horumon assortment Here comes the horumon. All of them are delicious. - Akami assortment The main dish is an assortment of lean cuts. Special Kalbi, Harami, loin, and hangeshita are piled up like a mountain. The Harami is quite large and requires quite a bit of strength to lift, which is quite impactful. It's so big that it barely fits, which is impressive. Cut after grilling, just like before, and enjoyed on rice, it's heavenly. The meat quality is really good. Not too greasy with plenty of fat, you could eat it endlessly. - Tantara and Yukke Although the course was supposed to end with the lean cuts assortment, we agreed to the owner's question of "Would you like to add more?". Tantara and Yukke arrived. Even though we were already full, if it's delicious, it surprisingly fits in the stomach. - Korean cold noodles Finishing off with vinegar added generously is recommended. It removes the greasiness of the meat eaten so far. - Curry Bibimbap The restaurant's specialty "Curry Bibimbap". It's hot until the end. The minced meat is just right. I was a bit scared of the bill after drinking 4.5 drinks and ordering additional meat, but it was 19,800 yen for 4 people! That's less than 5000 yen per person, which is an absurdly low price considering the quality and quantity of the meat. Even though the beer is 98 yen, the pricing is unbelievable. And the owner's attention to detail is top-notch. Just when I was thinking about getting a refill, he would ask "Another serving?" every time. It's like he can read our minds. There's nothing wrong with this place. I will definitely come back again!

I finally got to go to a restaurant I've always wanted to visit! First, they had hand sanitizer for COVID-19 prevention. Then, I sat down. The menu only had drink options. I was nervous... what if it's super expensive? But then, drinks arrived like they were running a relay race (lol). Delicious meat followed suit, and freshly cooked rice was the best. I couldn't stop laughing from the deliciousness and fun. "Deliciousness" saves the world. This restaurant is a hero. Such a happy time. It cost 4,500 yen for one person. I want to go back soon. Thank you so much.
