I went to this restaurant recommended by someone who loves Korea. When I arrived a little before opening, there were only two groups waiting, so I entered right away when they opened. First, I tried the highly recommended "7-minute Pork Kimchi Jjigae." This is a must-try! Served in a bowl with rice, kimchi jjigae, and Korean seaweed on top. I heard it was spicy, but it was totally fine, maybe because of the seaweed. I could eat it endlessly. Next, I had the Kimchi Naengmyeon, which had the flavor I love. Unlike the firm Korean naengmyeon, this one was more like Japanese somen noodles. The broth was just perfect for me, with sweetness in the midst of spiciness. I wanted to drink it all up. The seafood pajeon was simply delicious. I still want to try more menu items like Chapchae. It was crowded with a lot of people, and I wanted to try many different dishes with a large group. It may be new, but it was clean, the orders were not delayed much, and many young customers were enjoying their meals, which left a good impression.

I visited the restaurant after lunchtime had passed. I couldn't decide between the Chapchae set meal or the Pure Tofu Stew set meal, but I ended up choosing the Pure Tofu Stew set meal. It wasn't as spicy as I thought and was easy to eat, but in the hot summer weather, I couldn't stop sweating... The atmosphere in the restaurant had a Korean vibe, which was enjoyable.

I passed by the restaurant on a weekend night and saw it crowded, so I decided to visit on a weekday night. I made a reservation for 5:00 PM, so it was still not too busy. It started to fill up nicely after that, but it didn't get too crowded. I ordered the popular A set course, and first came the soup and Chorogi salad... both were delicious. I almost mistook the green onions for the salad as a garnish for the pork belly, so I wish they had explained it to me since it was my first time... After that, the pork belly, pancake, and miso stew that I chose kept coming out one after another. It would have been nice if they had served the food a bit more slowly... but overall, everything tasted delicious and I was satisfied.

I ordered the "Pekpa set meal" with soy sauce flavor and 7-minute pork kimchi stew. The portion of rice was small, like a mini bowl, but it was actually quite filling. The amount was just right for a woman like me, as I had plans to eat at various places later. I visited on a Saturday at 11:30 am and had to wait for about 15 minutes, but after placing my order on my phone, the food came out quickly and I didn't have to wait long to eat. I was probably there for less than 30 minutes. Haha.

I went to a famous chain restaurant from Korea in Tsuruhashi for lunch. As expected, there was a line to get in, just like the information I found online. I ordered the signature dishes, Yorutan Bulgogi and 7-minute Pork Kimchi Stew. The Yorutan Bulgogi was not overly sweet as I had anticipated, but had a perfect sweet and savory flavor. It paired well with the spicy sauce for the green onions - deliciously spicy! The Kimchi Stew had finely chopped pork which made it easy to eat, and it was incredibly spicy - so good! I haven't had such spicy food at Korean restaurants lately, so spicy food lovers will be very happy. The DIY rice ball, Saba Ruchumokbap, was also delicious. The only disappointing part was the white kimchi. I saw a poster of someone named Pak holding a kimchi jar, so I thought the kimchi would be good, but it was just plain cabbage without any seasoning. Oh well, there are many delicious kimchi stores in Tsuruhashi, so I'll just buy some to take home. As for the service, one employee was smiling, but the other had no expression. When I asked where the chopsticks were, they just silently opened a drawer and pointed. They could have at least said "here." I wonder why they chose a customer service job. But overall, the food was almost all delicious, and we ordered so much that we almost burst our stomachs from eating so much. Korean food is still delicious! I will definitely go back. Thank you for the meal.

"I can eat authentic Korean cuisine here!" My mother was recommended by a mom friend to a restaurant and she said, "I want to go!" so we had a nice lunch together. Since it was a weekday, we went with plenty of time, but when we arrived a little after 11 o'clock, there were already 2 groups waiting. We couldn't get in on the first round, so we wrote our name and took a stroll around for about 15 minutes. We entered the restaurant around 11:30. The interior of the restaurant had a Korean vibe, and the dishes and aprons got me excited (*ˊᗜˋ). We ordered through a QR code on our smartphones! The number of menu items and side dishes was a bit less compared to other Korean restaurants, but the prices were reasonable. - Beef Bulgogi set meal in soy sauce flavor (980 yen): Sweet and savory meat wrapped in vegetables and eaten either as is or with sweet miso sauce, which was much more delicious! I wished there was a bit more Bulgogi. - 7-minute pork kimchi stew (880 yen): A generous amount of Korean seaweed is served! This stew, made with minced pork belly and kimchi, was spicy and still had the acidity of the kimchi. It was delicious when eaten with a lot of Korean seaweed on top of rice. - Dried bonito and dashi somen (700 yen): The soup had a strong umami flavor of dried bonito and was delicious. It was warm and comforting, like ochazuke. Since the lunch portion was not very filling, I recommend adding a side dish as a substitute for the soup! The set meal didn't have much volume, so adding a side dish was just right. Most of the customers around us were female groups who ordered various dishes and shared them!"

My favorite place to eat Korean bulgogi in Japan is here! The bulgogi here is really delicious, with two types of sauce - soy sauce-based and spicy, both of which are absolutely amazing. The spiciness is just right, not too hot. The staff cooks all the meat for you, so before you know it, it's ready! Make sure to order the Korean rice ball, Sabalchumokbap, which goes perfectly with the bulgogi. The seaweed and everything else is just perfect. If you're going to eat rice ball bulgogi, it has to be Semaul! I go there at least once every two months haha.

I visited the always crowded popular restaurant Semaul Shokudo. There is always a long line. During lunchtime, reservations are not accepted, so I lined up 30 minutes before opening. It was full right away. The menu is very reasonable, with most items priced at 1000 yen or less. The taste was average. The cost performance is good.

I left Tsuruhashi Station before 11:00 AM to head to the restaurant that opens at 11:00. When I arrived, the restaurant was already full with a few groups waiting. After a 30-minute wait, we were seated. Apart from the lunch menu, there were also meat dishes available, but they required a minimum order of two portions (which could be two different types). This time, we ordered Samgyupsal and Bulgogi, along with Kimchi Jeon as a side dish. We placed our order by scanning a QR code and sending it through our smartphones, which was very convenient. The meat arrived promptly, and we were able to grill it ourselves on the hot plate in front of us, following the Korean style. The staff's efficiency was impressive and fun to watch. The taste was delicious, but considering the price, the portions were a bit small. I recommend adding extra meat or ordering side dishes if you are a big eater. Next time, I would like to try the stew.

This popular restaurant always has a long line. I was lucky to get in early. I ordered the popular dishes one by one. The portions were smaller than I expected. The pancake was crispy and delicious. The pork kimchi stew was small and easy to finish. It was just average. The unlimited seaweed topping was fluffy and tasty.

I used it for lunch. I had the 7-minute pork kimchi jjigae. It was more sour and spicy than I thought, but maybe that's the authentic taste. It was great when I put it on rice with Korean seaweed and ate it like a bowl. The kimchi and bean sprout namul on the side were also good. Next time I come, I might want to try the grilled meat.

I visited here again because it was delicious last time! This time, there was no line and we were able to enter smoothly. I had the 7-minute jjigae and this time I tried samgyeopsal instead of bulgogi! It was delicious! I still prefer bulgogi, but samgyeopsal was also good. It was a great time! Thank you for the meal!

The staff at the restaurant grill the meat for you, so you can enjoy it without any worries! The dish where you mix the onigiri by hand was so delicious that I ended up ordering it twice. Every dish was delicious! It's quite crowded, so I recommend making a reservation ☻

Hello. I'm Keinsuke. Today, I would like to introduce a Korean restaurant called "Semaul Shokudo" in Tsuruhashi. Atmosphere: Located along the main street between Tsuruhashi shopping street and Ikuno Koreatown area, I was looking for a place to have lunch after exploring the area. I wanted to sit in a cool place and enjoy a meal, so I decided to visit Semaul Shokudo. It is conveniently located within walking distance from Tsuruhashi Station. This restaurant is a famous chain from Korea with only a few branches in Japan. As it was around 2 pm, there were not many customers, and I was able to enter easily. The interior was not overly Korean but had a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Food: - Cold Kimchi Soba (740 yen): Since it was hot, I definitely wanted to eat cold noodles, and I was happy to find this menu. The bowl was filled with plenty of ice, giving a refreshing crunch. The coldness and spiciness of the kimchi were addictive. - Kimchi Jeon (950 yen): A fairly authentic jeon, and quite large in size. The texture was moist and chewy on the inside, while crispy on the outside. The sauce was rich and flavorful. I thought the quality was great for the price. Overall, I recommend this dining spot not only for its location in Koreatown but also for its authentic Korean taste and affordable prices. Thank you for the meal.

In March to April, we will be running two series almost simultaneously: "2022 Meaty 30 Challenge" and "2022 Seafood 30 Challenge". The seafood series will focus on dishes where seafood is a key component rather than the main ingredient. As for the meat series, in the 16th installment, we visited Semaul Shokudo Tsuruhashi in Osaka and ordered the Spicy Charcoal Bulgogi Set Meal in Soy Sauce flavor for 880 yen.

I wrote my name on the reservation list of a very popular restaurant and had to wait quite a while. I wandered around a nearby store for about 40 minutes. Even though the wait was long, I really wanted to eat there because the food is delicious. The onigiri, meat, and chijimi are all tasty. It's Korean cuisine that suits Japanese taste buds, sweet and savory, and really delicious.

I heard there is always a line at this restaurant, so I called ahead to confirm before going in. I ordered Samgyeopsal, Myeolchi-gui, and Jumokbap. My friend had been to Korea before and suggested we leave the menu selection up to them. The meat that came out during the all-you-can-eat was of good quality, not the small pieces you sometimes get. Samgyeopsal rarely disappoints, so I was more concerned about the Myeolchi-gui. The presentation is crucial for this dish, but how does it taste? It was delicious! I don't know the taste of the authentic Semaul Shikdang, but I know the taste of real Myeolchi-gui, and it was delicious. I enjoyed it all. I wouldn't go alone, but I'll invite friends next time to try the Kimchi jjigae.笑笑

I got off at Tsuruhashi Station and walked a few minutes to come across a Samgyeopsal restaurant. The place was quite crowded, so I wondered if it was really good. But I was in the mood for Samgyeopsal, so I decided to go in without hesitation. It was around 6 pm on a Saturday evening. I ordered Samgyeopsal and thinly sliced beef, I forgot the name of the menu. The staff cooked the meat for us. The thinly sliced beef was enjoyed with ponzu sauce, it was refreshing. It was delicious! For the Samgyeopsal, we dipped it in a mixture of salt sesame oil, put it on a piece of lettuce, added some shredded cabbage mixed with gochujang, and wrapped it up to eat. The sesame oil flavor was fragrant and delicious! It goes well with alcohol. I felt like I was in Korea. Thank you for the meal.

It seems like a famous restaurant from Korea has opened in Osaka, and I finally got the chance to visit as I was nearby. Just as rumored, there was a line during meal times, and I was about the 7th group in line. Since there were only two of us, we couldn't order everything, so we decided to go with the signature dishes - Bulgogi and 7-minute Kimchi Stew. You have to order at least 2 servings for the meat dishes, and the ordering process is done through a smartphone, which was a new experience. The Bulgogi looked just like in the menu photos, with the meat and leaves served separately. The staff grilled the meat for us, and we were amazed by the experience of wrapping the meat in the leaves before eating. The meat itself was incredibly delicious, and it was even better when wrapped and eaten. The 2 servings were not too much, and we finished it quickly, making us want to try other dishes as well. The 7-minute Kimchi Stew came with rice and seaweed, allowing us to enjoy it in different ways. It was hot and flavorful, with the kimchi's sourness not too overpowering. It was delicious! This made us look forward to trying other menu items as well. I would definitely want to come back. Thank you for the delicious meal!

In front of Tsuruhashi Station, a Korean restaurant chain opened in April. As someone who misses Korea, I definitely had to go. The restaurant had a lot of female customers and I liked that each table had partitions. I ordered three dishes: ✔︎ Hot Charcoal Bulgogi ✔︎ 7-minute Pork Kimchi Stew ✔︎ Egg Jjim. I had never tried such a sour stew before, but it was surprisingly good. The Bulgogi was a safe choice and the Egg Jjim was surprisingly filling. I had a delicious and enjoyable time, and I was satisfied. Later, when I passed by the restaurant again after shopping in Tsuruhashi, I saw a long line of people waiting. I was glad I got in at a good time.
