I had a great time cooking takoyaki while overlooking the Dotonbori River. The master was also handsome. I've decided to come back again for sure. Can't wait to visit again!

My friend had a birthday celebration at a restaurant where they are a regular customer! It's an izakaya with a wide variety of authentic dishes like curry and mapo tofu that you can enjoy. It's easy to access from Namba as well! Thank you as always!

I finally visited Dragon Sakaba, which I had been curious about for a while. I tried the "slightly tipsy set," which includes two dishes of oden. The portion size is small, but it's a great deal at 900 yen for two drinks included. The oden was well simmered, and the daikon radish and egg were soaked in a delicious broth.

Today was Hina Matsuri and we had yakiniku! But before that, we did some shopping and had some time to spare. What to do? Drink, of course! So, I searched in my mind and ended up here. I was surprised when I entered because it was not just a standing bar! Since we were going for yakiniku later, I just wanted to have a light drink. So, I asked the owner if it was okay. Me: "Is it okay to just have a light drink?" Owner: "Of course, no problem at all!" The friendly owner was great! He even asked if we would like something before going for dinner. It reminded me of when M gave chocolates to Katsuragi. So kind! We had a snack and tried their specialty. - Golden chicken wings (200 yen/1 piece) It wasn't as sweet and salty as Nagoya-style chicken wings, but it had a spicy flavor that surprised me! It would go really well with beer. Katsuragi and the others devoured it! It was delicious! This time, we just had a light visit, but the owner was so kind and the kids wanted more chicken wings, so maybe we'll bring them here again? Thank you for the meal! ♥

The restaurant Dragon, which used to have a Chinese chef from Dojima Hotel, has completely changed its concept to a standing bar. The recommended golden chicken wings were delicious. It might be a good choice for a third stop, but personally, the food menu doesn't match my taste, so I might not come back on an empty stomach.

It used to be a Chinese bar, but I heard it has become a standing bar, so I made a reservation for 10 people just in case and was pleasantly surprised to find both chairs and table seats. We started with a toast with draft beer! The medium-sized beer for 400 yen including tax felt like a good deal. Today was a special day with fatty tuna from the waters off Nagasaki for 680 yen, and it was incredibly delicious. We devoured 10 servings in no time. The chicken wings were also delicious, so we ordered more and enjoyed them while laughing and having a great time with everyone. The location is great in Dotonbori, so it might be a good place for meeting up. I will definitely visit again! Thank you very much.

Located on the west side of Dotonbori, on the 1st floor of Parkland Building, there is a standing bar?? The shop name is also written as "Tachinomi" on the lantern at the entrance, but there are chairs at all seats. The owner and the older brother run the place together. Both of them are very friendly. I ordered a medium-sized Asahi Super Dry for 400 yen. The price is okay, but the glass is small. For food, I ordered items ranging from 100 yen to 500 yen. The only standout dish was the curry roux from the Osaka auntie. It had a good balance of vegetable flavors and spiciness, with finely chopped vegetables and chunks of beef. The other dishes were lacking in variety and portion size. They should improve on that. Overall, the curry was great, but they could do better with the other dishes. Also, please serve the draft beer in a pint glass (laughs). That's all.

I wonder if the Chinese restaurant in Dotonbori has been renovated? It has become a standing bar now. Food prices start at 180 yen and drinks at 380 yen. They offer a light drinking set for 990 yen, which includes 2 drinks and chef's choice of snacks. There are chairs available, so you can sit or stand. The set may not offer the best value as the beer served is Pilsner, so it might be more cost-effective to choose bottled beer and snacks separately. Overall, the food is cheap but not necessarily a great deal. It's a convenient place to kill time.

When I visited the restaurant, it left a very good impression at first. However, the more time I spent there, the more I felt a sense of roughness and insincere friendliness. It seemed like the staff were just getting by with forced smiles. It's really disappointing. Despite being aware that things can get suddenly busy, I believe there is a better way to handle such situations. It's important to remain calm, make flexible decisions, and treat each customer with care, especially in unexpected circumstances. I debated whether to give a one-star rating or not. Although I won't be returning, I did have a decent experience. Thank you.

I used it with my friends! I like the cozy atmosphere.

We came here for a light drink during our third round. There was a 1000 yen all-you-can-drink option! We had 2 drinks and 1 dish for 990 yen. The dish was cucumber, perfect for a light and refreshing third round. It's unusual to have more dishes than drinks, which was interesting. This izakaya is perfect for a casual and light third round. I heard the chicken skewers are a specialty... I wish I had tried them!

The staff at the restaurant were kind and took the time to teach us how to cook the food properly. We had a delicious and enjoyable time. Thank you very much.

The atmosphere was great, and it was wonderful to be able to slowly enjoy drinking while cooking takoyaki.

The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious.

Revisited. I went to Namba just to eat the Dan Dan noodles that I had to give up last time because I was full. It was a luxurious time. It was lightly raining and there were few people on the street, so the restaurant was also empty. The Dan Dan noodles I was looking for seemed to have options for spiciness, so I asked for the spiciest one. Among the spiciness, there was sweetness, richness, and deliciousness. Oh, it was irresistible! It was exquisite!

My friend from Tokyo came to visit, so we decided to have a long-awaited drinking party for just the two of us! We wanted a place in Namba that serves Chinese or Japanese cuisine, and after some research, we found a restaurant that offers a unique 2-person course with a variety of dishes and included all-you-can-drink option called the "Ala Carte Nine Course." We met in front of the restaurant before 7:00 PM and went in. The first thing we noticed was that the manager was handsome and the atmosphere inside was very calming and pleasant. It was clean and we felt good vibes. Overall rating: Taste 4.8 - absolutely delicious. Drinks 4.1 - the standard drinks included in the course were excellent. Price 4.9 - although we knew the cost beforehand, the amount of food and 7-8 drinks per person for 7600 yen was a bit surprising. Total 4.7 - If you're looking to eat in Namba, and don't dislike Chinese cuisine, this is a restaurant that you cannot go wrong with for gatherings with friends or a date. Highly recommended!

Yes, I found a great restaurant! The staff are friendly and casual, the atmosphere is fun and lively, and the food is incredibly delicious and authentic! It's so good that you might wonder if it's really that affordable. I highly recommend trying the boiled dumplings, and the mapo tofu where you can choose the level of spiciness. I hope they add fried rice to the menu too. They have a wide variety of drinks and the service is quick. I will definitely be going back!

Osaka Dotombori is located a few seconds' walk from Yoshinoya on Midosuji Street, and I visited Dragon Punch, which is a Chinese bar specializing in gyoza, mapo tofu, and tantanmen. Although I actually visited about six months ago... The stylish exterior is reminiscent of Usagi Shokudo in the same Minami area. This place is a bit easier to enter as the menu and prices are easier to understand. Still, the bar-like interior may require a bit of courage to enter alone. Inside, there is a long counter with 12 seats and about four table seats. The age group of the customers is young, with many women, and it was lively. I was surprised to see many authentic Chinese dishes on the menu. I decided to try the recommended grilled gyoza, spring rolls, and mapo tofu. The grilled gyoza (12 pieces) for 580 yen can be enjoyed with four types of sauce. The staff will explain the sauces when they are brought to you. The skin is soft and slightly chewy, and the filling, which seems to contain bamboo shoots, cabbage, leeks, and pork, is lightly seasoned with a good amount of meat. The size is on the smaller side, making it easy for women to eat. Enjoy the change in flavor with the sauce as the seasoning is light. This is a place where you can enjoy more with a group than alone. The spring rolls and mapo tofu were also carefully made, and other menu items seem promising as well. Thank you for the meal.
