I heard a rumor about a hotel with amazing views at Tennoji where you can enjoy an unlimited buffet on weekdays, so I decided to visit for the first time! I made a reservation through Jalan and got a discount from 4200 to 3990 yen (tax included). The buffet is available from 11:30 to 15:00 (last entry at 13:30), so I arrived at 11:30 to a surprisingly crowded place even on a weekday. I was lucky to be seated at what seemed like the best spot with a great view. The highlight of the buffet is probably the roast beef, along with a variety of Japanese dishes (including Inaniwa udon and curry), 4 types of dim sum, and French/Italian-inspired appetizers. The selection is wide, with 4 types of bread and even mini burgers! Everything looks beautiful and elegant, as expected from hotel food. The variety and quantity of desserts (over 10 types) were impressive, and I was thrilled to see 8 types of TEARTH tea (a high-end tea that costs around 1000 yen for a bag of 25). However, I couldn't eat as much as I thought I could. Nevertheless, enjoying a beautiful and delicious meal and desserts while looking at the stunning view might be the ultimate luxury experience. It was a refreshing and happy time spent indulging in self-reward with good food and a great view.

The view from the 17th floor was great. The customer service was okay, not bad enough to feel uncomfortable. The food had a light taste and was delicious. The space where the dishes were displayed was small, but I felt the variety was just right. It might be a bit lacking for men who eat a lot. It's nice that you don't have to worry about the time until 3 p.m. on weekdays. It's fun to be able to make your own soft serve ice cream with different toppings.

I visited this restaurant for lunch 4 times and dinner 2 times! It's really delicious, this is my favorite buffet place. Recently, I had a course with crab for dinner and was surprised by the amount of food (lol). My kids love it too, so we chose the crab course for their entrance celebration. I plan to visit a few more times in the future, as this buffet never disappoints. The food is delicious, but the desserts are the best.

It's been a long time since I last visited the restaurant "Etoile" after my friend threw me a birthday celebration. This time, we had a girls' gathering at a buffet that I rarely visit. When we arrived at 11:30, there were already many people lining up, all of whom had reservations. Once our names were confirmed, we were guided to our designated table. Everyone went to get their food at the same time, so we could relax a bit before going to get our food as well. This day featured a world dessert buffet, so there were plenty of sweets to enjoy. The crab was a specialty, and there was an option to add crab for an additional fee even during this season. The food included salads, appetizers like salmon and couscous, carpaccio, sautéed fish, shrimp, chicken, roast beef, dim sum, pasta, gratin, chirashi sushi, bread, hamburgers, and more. The roast beef was especially delicious, tender and flavorful with salt and sauce. The dessert selection was incredibly rich with strawberry Mont Blanc, mousse, pudding, Schneiden, donuts, fresh chocolate, opera cake, fruits, and more. There was even soft-serve ice cream for customization. Drinks were free except for alcohol. You could eat as much as you wanted of whatever you liked and enjoy a leisurely meal followed by tea, all in a beautiful setting with unlimited time. It was a fun and enjoyable lunchtime with a great view.

I wanted to eat crab, so I made a reservation even though it was expensive at 7,000 yen for lunch. I chose the 13:30 slot on Saturday, thinking it might be less crowded, but it was busy from the entrance. However, the staff guided us smoothly. Since you have to cut the crab with scissors yourself, I only selected the legs! I also had roast beef and dessert! Since I had a clear goal, I was able to eat efficiently. It was delicious! It was also convenient being directly connected to the subway. The croissant and dessert were also delicious. The service from the staff was good too!

I was invited by my former colleagues to the 17th floor Sky Restaurant at Tennoji Miyako Hotel, located at the base of Abeno Harukas, to participate in the popular lunch buffet that is currently in season. Every year from January to March, the Sky Restaurant "Etoile" is hosting an all-you-can-eat snow crab buffet. Period: January 6th - March 31st Adults: Weekdays 6800 yen, Weekends/Holidays 7000 yen Lunch hours: Weekdays 11:30 am - 3:00 pm (90-minute limit), Weekends/Holidays 1st session 11:30 am - 1:00 pm, 2nd session 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm Reservations are required due to its popularity. Apart from crab, there are other delicious dishes available. The menu includes items like crab and kiwi chop salad, marinated white fish, spring rolls with small shrimp and glass noodles, marinated octopus, smoked duck, ham and mustard dip, spicy chicken, Spanish omelette, herb and breadcrumbs roasted pork loin with demi-miso sauce, bouillabaisse, crab and crab miso ochazuke, roast beef, and more. In addition to crab and dishes, there is also a wide variety of desserts such as yuzu tartlets, Earl Grey tea flavored St. Marc-style cake, red bean cream Japanese-style bouchée, mini strawberry parfait, citrus fromage blanc, and pudding. As usual, I ended up getting tired of crab after one round and went all out on the dessert combo when I got back home. I regretted not eating more crab. I vowed to eat more crab next year! The snow crab used is the real thing, with slightly thinner legs but good meat quality. I'm good at peeling crab, so I silently peel about 7 legs first and then slowly enjoy the meat. It was delicious. I was satisfied! Thank you for the meal.

I had a strong craving for crab, so I went to a buffet with all-you-can-eat snow crab (due to not being able to travel far with a friend). In addition to crab, there were many other types of food. Since the food at the hotel was delicious, I ate too much of everything else and couldn't have seconds of crab (I was too full, haha). I was satisfied.

Every time I walk in Tennoji during winter, I always noticed the sign for "All-You-Can-Eat Snow Crab". Since the price is higher on weekends, I decided to go on a weekday after work with a premium meal ticket in hand. The night view of Tennoji from the window seat was quite refreshing. I ordered a glass of grape juice and then headed straight for the crab. I grabbed some bite-sized appetizers and then piled up on snow crab. The appetizers were normal, so the focus was definitely on the crab. Peeling the shells was too much work, so I aimed for the legs. I had planned to peel them all at once and eat them quickly, but ended up eating them as I peeled. After about 20 legs, I started feeling full. I also got tired of the vinegar soy sauce. Time for a change of taste! I grabbed some curry and mapo tofu. I mixed them together and it was delicious. The corn soup was also great. The cakes for dessert were good, especially the apple one and the pudding. I improved at peeling the crab as time went on, but towards the end, I slowed down. Two hours went by quickly. Next time, I'll plan to peel the crab efficiently before eating.

You can enjoy all-you-can-eat crab and roast beef from November 1st to March 31st♪ Weekday price for all-you-can-eat snow crab and sweets collection is 6,800 yen, and 7,000 yen on weekends and holidays. I made a reservation for the 11:30 am slot on a holiday through One Michelin Star Restaurants, and arrived 5 minutes before the start of the seating. The restaurant was quite crowded due to the crab offer. The crab meat was satisfying with a good texture and just the right amount of saltiness. I had 15 crab legs, but since lunch is limited to 90 minutes (dinner is 120 minutes), I felt rushed to enjoy the crab. The roast beef and sashimi were also delicious. The sweets collection was as expected, so I was satisfied with being able to enjoy the crab this time. Thank you for the meal.

Crab, crab~! The Crab Festival has already started! It's a crab celebration! I always look forward to crab season! With all-you-can-eat options, it's popular among repeat customers! I've been waiting for crab season! It's recommended to make a reservation! There's also all-you-can-eat and drink options, so it's a great place for a special lunch treat! I feel like there are more sweets this year compared to last year, and there are cute donuts that make me excited! I will definitely go again! Yay! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

I was drawn to the autumn sweets and decided to have lunch on a holiday from 11:30 am to 90 minutes for adults at 4,500 yen (tax included) using a discounted plan. The October menu included a variety of sweets such as Poire Agrume, Boo!!! (Pistachio mousse), Pumpkin Basque cheesecake, and more. There were also savory dishes like roast beef, chicken nanban-style with roast potatoes, and octopus, clam, and mushroom ajillo. The buffet also featured smoked duck with porcini mushrooms, chestnut and tandoori chicken tortilla, and more. The fruit selection included grapes, pears, persimmons, kiwis, and oranges. Overall, the food was satisfying, with highlights like the pumpkin Basque cheesecake and the variety of delicious fish dishes. The desserts were tasty, with the pumpkin Basque cheesecake being a standout. The donuts had different sauces inside, which prevented them from being dry, but they were on the sweeter side. The service was good, and the overall experience was enjoyable. Thank you for the meal.

During weekdays, it's recommended to visit early as there are fewer people and it's more comfortable. The best time to go is around 5 pm when it's less crowded. Overall, the food was delicious, but the desserts were particularly outstanding. The autumn desserts featuring chestnuts and pumpkin were a highlight, especially the mille-feuille and pumpkin pudding. The donuts with sweet cream filling are great for those with a sweet tooth. The mango Danish bread was unique and tasty. The tempura was crispy, and the gratin, salmon, and sushi were also delicious.

Hello.. Continuing from the hotel drinking support, this is the breakfast buffet at the hotel, featuring a dinner buffet & all-you-can-drink alcohol, and breakfast included stay plan at the same place. The location is at the Sky Restaurant Etoile at Hotel City Osaka Tennoji. Location: - Address: 1-2-8 Matsuzaki-cho, Abeno-ku, Osaka City, Hotel City Osaka Tennoji 17F - Access: 1 minute walk from Abeno Bridge Station on the Kintetsu Minami Osaka Line / 1 minute walk from JR Tennoji Station / 1 minute walk from Tennoji Station on the Midosuji Subway Line - Nearest Station: Osaka Abeno Bridge Station, 90m away Operating hours: - Lunch: 11:30-15:00 (90-minute limit) - Dinner: 17:00-22:00 (120-minute limit) - Sunday business hours (please confirm due to the current COVID-19 situation) The restaurant has a total of 96 seats, including large semi-private rooms. The view is refreshing and lovely. The weather is nice, but I'm feeling a bit hungover. The menu includes scrambled eggs, broccoli and carrot sauté, potatoes, fried chicken, and more. I'm feeling quite hungover, but I'm going to eat properly. The view is beautiful, but I'm feeling a bit rough. The photos are of my companion N-chan's breakfast. N-chan looks fresh and doesn't get hungover. She has a great drinking etiquette. I, on the other hand, always get hungover. I'm going to eat a little, even though I'm feeling hungover. I'm going to drink lots of water. Tomato juice is a must for me. Natto is also essential. I'm going to eat a little bit of everything, even though I'm hungover. I'm going to regret it later. The miso soup is my second serving. The dashi is amazing. I'm going to have a little curry as a finisher. The taste varies from hotel to hotel, so I want to try it. (It's almost like that retort curry taste). I'm going to have a second cup of miso soup. It's not the hotel's fault, it's my stomach's fault. I love baking bread at Aladdin. I love making fried eggs in the toaster. I'm going to have bacon on top. No butter. It's delicious. Here comes the hungover drink parade! Tomato juice, mineral water, orange juice, milk, and maybe coffee? I love eating fried eggs on toast with iced coffee. I ate everything, including the salad and natto. On the right side, there's kimchi from yesterday's room drinking, but that's our little secret. I'm sorry. There's nothing special, but the breakfast buffet was delicious. The view from the top floor is very nice and open, making it a pleasant morning. Thank you for the meal. I participate in a ranking. If you press the banner, it will be encouraging. Thank you.

Good evening. I continued drinking at the hotel with N-chan. This time, we visited with a dinner buffet and all-you-can-drink alcohol plan that includes breakfast as well (visit was at the end of September). Currently (February), the crab all-you-can-eat option seems to be popular every year! The location is at the Sky Restaurant Etoile in the Toshi City Hotel Tennoji. The address is 1-2-8 Matsuzaki-cho, Abeno-ku, Osaka City, Toshi City Osaka Tennoji 17F. It is a 1-minute walk from Abeno Bridge Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line, a 1-minute walk from JR Tennoji Station, and a 1-minute walk from Tennoji Station on the Midosuji Subway Line. The restaurant has 96 seats, including large semi-private rooms. The buffet features a variety of dishes, including sushi, bread, salads, live cooking stations, and more. The atmosphere is lovely, and the chef prepares dishes live, which is a nice touch. The food was delicious, especially the roast beef and tempura. The all-you-can-drink option had a good selection of drinks, including beer, wine, and whiskey. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience with a beautiful view of the city.

Lunch Buffet~♪ I visited for lunch on a holiday from 11:30 am to 90 minutes. The price for adults is 4,500 yen (including tax and service charge). Although it was not fully booked, about 70-80% of the seats were occupied, so I couldn't take pictures of everything. The dishes included Ahi Poke, a bowl (for tuna avocado rice bowl), Mexican Enchilada, BLT hamburger, black vinegar-flavored pork loin steak with miso, Sawara mousse wrapped in Nishiki miso-flavored hollandaise, corn soup, curry, rice, fruits & Haupia (coconut dessert). The seasoning of the dishes suited my taste, especially the roast beef was delicious. However, overall, there were quite a few varieties of dishes and the desserts lacked excitement. The dessert station seemed more like commercial rather than homemade. It was nice to have mango and mango sauce as toppings for soft serve ice cream, but the limited variety reduced the excitement. The arrangement of the food station, dessert station, and drink station in a small space led to a crowded and congested situation at the start. It would have been better if the food stations were more spread out to disperse the crowd. When we were seated, there was information about the hotel's app, and upon downloading and registering the app, we were given 1,000 points that could be used on the same day. We had already booked a discounted plan, but we were able to use the points on top of that, making the lunch quite a good deal. The app offers a discount for each person who downloads it, so if two people go and both register, they can get a 2,000 yen discount! This is a very good deal. This service is available until July 31st. Thank you for the meal.

Restaurant located on the 17th floor of Miyako City Hotel in Tennoji. Until the end of June, they are offering a "World Buffet & Global Sweets" buffet. The buffet includes DIY poke bowls, curry, sushi, steak, tempura, and other exciting dishes. The freshly grilled steak was tender and delicious! I wasn't expecting much from the hamburger, but the meat inside was juicy and tasty. Even though I was full, there was a wide variety of desserts available! You can even make your own soft serve ice cream. The service was polite, and I left satisfied after enjoying delicious food! Thank you for the meal! ★

We go to the crab buffet every year. My wife and I eat together. Just like every year, the crab legs are salty and we mix them with the shell to eat. My wife spends almost 90 minutes eating mostly crab, while I finish in 60 minutes and then become the dessert carrier for my wife. The price has increased a lot, and when I ask why, I'm told that the crabs have gone up by more than 1.5 times. I want to know since when they increased by 1.5 times, but the variety of desserts has also decreased, so I think it must be hard to make a profit. I don't think it will continue like this forever.

Located adjacent to the Kintetsu Minami Osaka Line's "Osaka Abenobashi Station," the hotel "Hotel City Osaka Tennoji" operated by the Kintetsu Group. This time, I visited the restaurant on the top floor (17th floor) called "Sky Restaurant Etoile," which operates in a buffet style. From November 1, 2020 (Sunday) to April 30, 2021 (Friday), they are offering the popular "Horsehair Crab All-You-Can-Eat" which is usually crowded. Since this restaurant is eligible for GOTO Eat points, I decided to treat myself a little and went to visit. I made a reservation online using a website called "Ikyu" about a week ago. I chose a weekday Friday, starting from 5:30 pm. The price is 6,000 yen per adult on weekdays and weekends (tax included). It includes all-you-can-eat and drink for soft drinks, with alcoholic beverages available at an additional cost, and the time limit is 120 minutes. Lunch is a bit cheaper at 5,000 yen, but the time limit is 90 minutes. Since there were many people, I only took photos of the dishes I served myself, but the lineup of dishes is as follows (copied from the menu page on Tabelog): [March-April Menu] Boiled Horsehair Crab, Firefly Squid with Honey Yuzu Vinegar Miso, Seared Bonito with Kekka Sauce, Crab and Potato Triangles with Saffron and Tomato Accents, Cherry Shrimp, Steamed Chicken, Ume Flavored Bamboo Shoots, Penne Salad, Charcuterie and Cheese Assortment, Jambon de Paris with Beet and Red Grain Mustard Dip, Fried Chicken with Yam Nyom Flavor, Pork Porchetta with Balsamic Sauce, Crab Spanish Omelette, Oriental Style Roast Pork with Mashed Potatoes, Chicken and Asari Thai Red Soup Curry, Teppanyaki, Western-style Sukiyaki, Poached Egg with Truffle Oil Flavor, Roast Beef, Potato Gratin, Pasta, Pizza, Curry Sandwich, Sashimi, Assorted Sushi, Salad, Fruit Verrine, Cherry Roll Cake, Rose Eclair, Strawberry Mont Blanc, Soft Serve Ice Cream, Assorted Fruits, Various Soft Drinks, Coffee, Tea, Flavored Tea. In reality, there were a few more types of desserts. It may seem like a lot when listed out, but honestly, I felt that the variety was relatively small compared to other buffets. I was able to complete most of the dishes before feeling too full, and I had room to go back for more of the delicious items. So personally, I think this amount of variety is just right. The main highlight was definitely the crab! Even though the crabs were a bit small for a buffet, the taste was undeniably that of real horsehair crab, so I enjoyed three servings. It took time to extract the meat, so it became a 120-minute buffet where I kept moving around. Other highlights included the seared bonito, sashimi of yellowtail, firefly squid, freshly served roast beef, and sukiyaki-style teppanyaki. The yellowtail was rich in fat, and I had four servings of it. The roast beef was moist and chewy, which was my preferred meat texture. The desserts had a spring-like lineup and were visually appealing. Most of the dishes were individually portioned, which is good for hygiene, and it's nice to be able to neatly plate your own dish. It was raining on that day, but since I had a window seat, I could also enjoy the night view. The price is somewhat high at 6,000 yen, but considering it includes all-you-can-eat crab, it was a buffet with a high level of satisfaction. Thank you for the meal!

I went to a crab all-you-can-eat restaurant that I had been interested in for a while. I made a reservation for 7:30 pm at the Sky Restaurant Etoile in Umeda, Osaka, through Ikkyu Restaurant. The plan was all-you-can-eat boiled snow crabs and all-you-can-drink soft drinks (2 hours) for 6,000 yen per person. The table I was seated at was surrounded by sofas, which was really nice. The night view was also very beautiful. The crab was packed with meat and delicious. I thought it would be frozen and empty, but it was not. There were also various other dishes available, including curry. The dessert options were plentiful and well-made. This may have been the first time I've eaten so much crab (laughs). The crab vinegar was also very good.

I wanted to eat crab, but there are family members who are not fond of it, so we decided to have dinner at the "Sky Restaurant Etoile" at the Hotel City Osaka Tennoji, where they offer a dinner buffet with all-you-can-eat snow crab. Upon entering, we had our temperature checked and sanitized our hands. We were given instructions on how to proceed with the buffet, including wearing masks and disposable gloves provided. The food was mostly served in small plates and covered containers, with tongs provided for serving. The staff frequently disinfected the serving utensils. Despite the thorough COVID-19 prevention measures, I was a bit surprised by the number of people present. The restaurant boasts an open and relaxing atmosphere on the top floor, but we were placed in a separate room with two other groups, which felt disconnected from the advertised ambiance. The food was delicious, especially the crab, but the overall dining experience was affected by the lackluster setting. If I were to visit again, I would make sure to confirm the seating arrangement when making a reservation. Thank you for the meal.
