This is a restaurant located near Tennoji Station and Osaka Abenobashi Station, on the 4th floor of Abeno Q's Mall, where you can enjoy shabu-shabu buffet style. The restaurant is operated by Pier Thirty, a company originating from Okayama and operating restaurants mainly in large shopping centers nationwide. Dragon God Maru, located in Tennoji Mio, is also part of the same group. Despite being open at this location since the mall's opening 10 years ago, I had never visited before due to feeling awkward about having shabu-shabu buffet alone. However, while looking for lunch options in the restaurant area, I discovered that they offer set menus in addition to the buffet. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try for the first time. I was seated in a 2-person box seat with an IH heater and a stainless steel pot with kombu already set on the table. The restaurant has about 70 seats, all separated by partitions into box seats, which provide a sense of privacy but also a bit of a cramped feeling. Near the entrance, there is a bar counter with vegetables and noodles lined up. I decided to order the "Beef Shabu-Shabu and Matsukado Zen" (1,199 yen) as indicated on the sign. A lemon-infused individual pot and a solid fuel stove were brought out to replace the stainless steel pot on the IH heater. The staff poured dashi into the pot from a pot and lit the stove. Soon after, a plate of meat, vegetables, and soba noodles arrived. The lean meat had no marbling but was surprisingly healthy and of decent quality. The portion size was also satisfactory. The vegetables included daikon radish, carrots, mizuna, enoki mushrooms, and tofu. I quickly cooked the vegetables in the pot, and once it started boiling, I dipped the beef in for shabu-shabu. The meat quality was decent for the price. However, the highlight was the delicious broth - a blend of rich chicken umami, refreshing lemon acidity, and aroma, creating a harmonious and flavorful experience. The sliced lemon truly elevated the taste without overpowering the meat, vegetables, or chicken. The soba noodles were surprisingly good with a nice texture and did not become mushy even when cooked. They paired well with the chicken salt lemon flavor. The Matsukado Zen included six compartments with Yamagata dashi tofu, tomato and daikon salad, thick tamago, two types of rice bowls, and warabi mochi. The rice bowls featured grated yam and okra with tobiko on "bakudan-don" and "anago-don." While shabu-shabu alone may seem monotonous, the addition of these colorful Matsukado dishes added a sense of satisfaction to the meal. Surprisingly, there were many solo diners, especially women, in the restaurant. I now regret feeling hesitant about having shabu-shabu buffet alone.

Cost-effective and family-friendly! This shabu-shabu restaurant at Abeno Q's Mall is recommended for families. It's a popular spot so it's best to go a little early to avoid lines. We were able to shop a bit while waiting for our turn. The cost performance is really good. We ordered the all-you-can-drink option with drinks and alcohol included. Adults can enjoy unlimited alcohol while children can have unlimited soft drinks. This was perfect for our family with growing kids. Shabu-shabu, chirashi sushi, vegetables, and meatballs were all-you-can-eat! It was a lifesaver. The staff were all attentive and helpful, making it easy to order and answering any questions we had. The thinly sliced meat was brought to us fresh by the staff. We ordered one slightly spicy broth and could easily add more using the touch panel. The additional items were brought to us promptly, and they were happy to accommodate any requests. We ended the meal with soft serve ice cream for dessert. We left feeling satisfied and full. We definitely want to visit again with the family! (^-^)/

I went with my child. Children under 3 years old were free. We had the shabu-shabu course for a little over ¥1500 (tax included). It was for 70 minutes. The meat had a slight smell, but considering the low price of the course, it was acceptable. It's good for young people who want to eat a lot. There were plenty of sauces, and when we got tired of them, we enjoyed eating with yuzu pepper. I was happy to see lots of wood ear mushrooms. My daughter ate a lot of pork, ramen, rice, and wood ear mushrooms. Towards the back, there were small tables, and there were many women eating shabu-shabu alone. The dimly lit interior was also nice. And I was happy that there was Wi-Fi available.

The Wagyu beef shabu-shabu was delicious. All-you-can-eat was too much for me in my middle age.

I ate sukiyaki and shabu-shabu. The udon in sukiyaki was delicious.

If you want to casually enjoy shabu-shabu, I recommend this place. It's affordable and you can eat to your heart's content. The quality of the meat and service matches the price, but it's nice that you can choose the broth based on your mood for the day.

Shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat buffet

It was delicious. I am full. The restaurant was small and cramped. It was expensive but tasty.

Shabu-shabu & sukiyaki are my current favorite. This time, I came to this place located in Kuzu Mall in Tennoji. It was 2:00 pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was almost full, with many students and mostly young customers, especially women. It seems like the trend of "meat-loving girls" is still going strong. Personally, I haven't been interested in all-you-can-eat in recent years, but I decided to give it a try this time. The restaurant had mostly box tables, with a bar counter near the entrance where vegetables and noodles were placed. I chose the "Beef & Pork All-You-Can-Eat Course" for 1,580 yen, with the option to add a drink bar for an additional fee. I ended up only drinking one cup of oolong tea. There were four types of soup stock to choose from, and I chose the sukiyaki-style broth. The meat was as expected for the price, but it was nice to have plenty of vegetables. Overall, it's a good value for filling up your stomach.

I visited for dinner. It was a Saturday, so it was crowded and we arrived a little after 8 pm, waiting for almost an hour to get seated. They offer a all-you-can-eat course with beef and pork, as well as unlimited vegetables. You can choose between sukiyaki or shabu-shabu for the hot pot, and if you choose shabu-shabu, you can have two different broths to enjoy. I wanted to try more flavors, so I chose shabu-shabu. The shabu-shabu broth had a sukiyaki-style flavor, which was lighter than sukiyaki, but perfect for the hot pot. It came with an egg, just like sukiyaki, and it was delicious. The kombu broth was light and refreshing, so I didn't feel tired of it like I sometimes do with sukiyaki. Overall, it was a satisfying and reasonably priced meal. Thank you for the feast!

When it comes to meat, there's yakiniku, steak, shabu-shabu, and sukiyaki. If I had to choose between shabu-shabu and sukiyaki, I would go for shabu-shabu because sukiyaki tends to give me heartburn if I eat too much. This place offers all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu with a choice of two broths - konbu dashi and selected dashi, and two sauces - ponzu and sesame sauce, allowing for flavor variety. I focus mainly on eating meat, with vegetables serving as palate cleansers. The price varies depending on the meat grade, but I find that lower-priced pork is often tastier than lower-priced beef.

I don't usually go to all-you-can-eat restaurants, but I happened to stop by this day. I went to Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki all-you-can-eat restaurant "Miyama". You can choose from several types of meat, and I decided to go with the recommended course of black pork shabu-shabu. It also came with beef, so I think it was both shabu-shabu and sukiyaki all-you-can-eat. The price was around 2400 yen per person for the course. You can choose your favorite vegetables self-serve, such as Chinese cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, komatsuna, mizuna, onions, maroni, udon, tsukune, and more. I noticed later that there was a rice cooker, so you could also make porridge. I didn't have room in my stomach, so I had to pass on that. You can choose one from four types of dashi (broth) in a two-for-one deal kind of pot, and I chose the sukiyaki-style dashi. There was kimchi, chicken salt broth, white broth, and one more that I can't quite remember. I was set on the sukiyaki-style broth. The price was low, so I was wondering about the quality of the meat, but it was tender and delicious! I thought it was worth it for this quality of meat at a low price! Since it's all-you-can-eat, I felt like I had to eat a lot of meat to get my money's worth, so I just kept eating meat. I was hungry, so I thought I could handle all-you-can-eat, but I quickly got full. It's a great place for kids and students who love to eat a lot! The staff were friendly, and overall, I think it's a good restaurant considering the price!!

On this day, I wanted to eat meat, so I met my husband at JR Tennoji Station after work. We decided to go to Abeno Q's Mall for shabu-shabu instead of yakiniku, and we went to "Miyama" on the 4th floor, where they offer all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu and sukiyaki. This restaurant seems to have branches in shopping malls nationwide. We visited during dinner time on a weekday and had to wait for about 15 minutes before being seated. There is a time limit of 70 minutes for the all-you-can-eat course, but it's enough time to enjoy the meal. The all-you-can-eat course includes options like pork shoulder loin, beef & pork, Kagoshima black pork, and domestic wagyu beef & black pork. The prices range from ¥1380 to ¥4700 (excluding tax). We chose the "beef & pork all-you-can-eat course" for ¥1880, which seems to be a popular choice. We also added two drink bars, which were discounted from ¥250 to ¥150 each on that day. The course includes vegetables, and you can help yourself to the bar area. They also offer rice, noodles, and soft serve ice cream for dessert. You can choose from four types of broth: kelp, tonkotsu, spicy Korean, chicken salt, and sukiyaki flavor. Ponzu and sesame sauce are provided at each table. You simply order the meat from the staff and enjoy it at your own pace. We started with a small portion of pork and beef, and then we asked for three plates each. We also added a variety of vegetables to the hot pot. We ended up eating a lot and were very full. The meat was thin and tender, and the Korean-style broth was mild and easy to eat. We skipped the carbs like rice this time because we were already full. Overall, we felt satisfied with the meal, and it was a good value for the price. The restaurant was busy with students and young people during the summer vacation, but there were customers from all age groups. It was a satisfying and accessible dining experience for us.

Queues Mall, every restaurant has a line during lunchtime. Do you really want to wait in line just to eat there? That's what can be said about Queues Mall. There are not enough dining options compared to the number of people it can accommodate, so lines form. (Do you really want to wait in line to eat conveyor belt sushi?) On this day, my wife and I decided to eat out after shopping because we didn't feel like cooking at home. We chose this restaurant, Miyama-san. Here's a rough overview of the restaurant's system: 1. Choose two types of soup for shabu-shabu. 2. While there is a menu option without all-you-can-eat meat, most people opt for the all-you-can-eat. 3. Meat is ordered from the staff when you ring the bell. 4. Other food items are self-serve. Hmm...since it was our first time at this kind of restaurant, my wife and I were a bit confused by the system...We randomly ordered some meat and tried it, but honestly, I think it's not that great compared to Japanese beef shabu-shabu. So, I ended up eating it in a more rough and hearty manner... Since you have to take something to balance it out, I consumed a lot of the most expensive-looking "vegetables." The interior design, the restaurant system, and the food seem to be geared towards students. My stomach is full now - thanks for the meal!

It is not common to have all-you-can-drink during the day, but it was allowed as one of the customer's requests. This was my first time visiting, and I had a good impression. I ordered the shabu-shabu, with rank 2 pork and beef. The value for money was amazing, with unlimited servings of meat and the hot pot filled me up completely. The sesame sauce was a bit spicy, and it was disappointing that there were no condiments for the ground sesame. For dessert, I had ramen with pork bone broth and soft serve ice cream with chocolate topping. My stomach was about to burst (laughs). I think this restaurant will become a regular spot for me. Highly recommended!!
