I made a reservation online before going to a Samgyeopsal restaurant in the Ohatsu Tenjin shopping street in Umeda. When I arrived around 6 pm on Saturday, the place was crowded, and those without reservations were being turned away. I ordered the Samgyeopsal and Jukumi course for 2980 yen. The Samgyeopsal was mostly fat and honestly not very tasty. The Jukumi, pure tofu stew, and seafood pancake were delicious. However, the Chapchae and the final rice dish were mediocre. The staff members had different levels of service. When I asked if everything was cooked, I was told to wait a moment, but they never came back to check. The same staff member did come to confirm the last order. The restaurant was also too noisy, making it hard to have a conversation. It's not suitable for those who want to eat and talk leisurely.

It was my first visit to this restaurant. I saw it on TV and decided to give it a try. The staff cooked the Samgyupsal for us, which was convenient. However, the taste was just average and a bit disappointing.

I visited on the weekend, so it was quite crowded! The food was delicious, especially the Samgyupsal which the staff cooked for us, making it easy to eat. It's recommended for dates, but it's so noisy due to the crowds that you can't hear conversations (lol). However, it's tasty, the staff is polite, and the interior is stylish with a very clean kitchen. It's mostly female customers, so guys might feel out of place if they go alone!

All-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink, for less than 4,000 yen per person even at night!! The meat was thick and juicy, the kimchi was delicious, and the kimchi stew was also tasty. I'm so happy to have found such a great restaurant! I think reservations are essential even on weekday nights. I will definitely go again!

When I opened the refrigerator door, I found a mysterious shop inside! I went with my female friends and arrived around 9 pm. The place was packed and lively. The young staff members had varying levels of customer service. We got the all-you-can-eat samgyeopsal with 3 side dishes and free-flowing soft drinks for about 4000 yen per person. The samgyeopsal was delicious, thickly cut, and included offal, which was great. We were a bit nervous because there was a fine for leftovers, so we ordered carefully, but unfortunately, we couldn't eat as much as we wanted. The two-hour all-you-can-eat time limit felt a bit rushed, and the explanation of the time limit was lacking. The service varied depending on the staff member. The BGM in the shop was a bit loud, which is common in Korean restaurants. I would love to go back again. Thank you for the meal!

The taste is delicious, but the service is lacking. A friend made a reservation by phone on the same day, but it seems like it was missed because they even checked the call history. As a customer who didn't make any mistakes, it's frustrating to deal with this before even eating.

I was surprised to see that the entrance of the restaurant was a refrigerator door! The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, and all the staff members were polite and kind. They had a variety of soft drinks, including some from Korea, so even if you don't drink alcohol, you can still enjoy. The food was delicious no matter what we ordered, so I would love to go back again if I have the chance.

I visited this restaurant for the first time for lunch. The Korean staff was very polite and explained the menu well. They also recommended some dishes, which I ended up ordering and was satisfied with because they were delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice too.

Everything was delicious. Good cost performance, plenty of space between tables to eat and drink. The staff served all the samgyeopsal. It was a shame that the all-you-can-drink beer was a third-tier beer. So that's the only downside. Thank you for the meal.

A stylish and very easy-to-eat Samgyeopsal restaurant in Osaka Umeda ------------------------------------ FOOD - Thick-cut Samgyeopsal 3480 yen - Yukhoe-style rare steak 880 yen - Squid rice 780 yen - Chijimi (Korean pancake) ? - Jumokbap (rice ball) 580 yen - Tiramisu - Gelato 280 yen They also have cucumber and potato salad ☺️ ------------------------------------ Located in the popular Korean restaurant district of Ohatsu Tenjin, known for its refrigerator door entrance, this lively restaurant offers the best thick-cut Samgyeopsal that is incredibly delicious and easy to eat. The staff cooks it for you, so you get it at the perfect timing. The variety of vegetables for wrapping is abundant, so you won't get tired of it! I may have eaten the equivalent of a whole egoma soy sauce pickled wood. The other dishes on the menu are also delicious and not boring. They also offer all-you-can-drink options, making it suitable for various group sizes from small to large. It was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Thank you for the meal!

The staff at the restaurant were friendly and the atmosphere was nice, but it was very lively and not very calming. However, it was still fun. There was only one basket for storing bags for four people, so we had to place it on the floor. It seems there is only one basket per table. The kimchi assortment, chukumi, samgyeopsal, and jeon were all delicious. The staff cooked the samgyeopsal for us. I ordered a lychee sour and my friend ordered a lemon sour, but when it arrived, my friend received the lychee sour instead. Also, we wanted to order more but were told that orders were closed, so we added kimbap, honey mustard chicken, and gelato. Unfortunately, the gelato arrived before the main dishes and had melted. It was a shame, as it was a good restaurant!

Visited in May 2023 ◎ At the time of posting, the restaurant had a rating of 3.10 on Tabelog (based on 36 reviews). Located a little off the beaten path from Ohatsu Tenjin Street in Umeda, "Samgyeopsal x Korean Cuisine Kogi Soul Umeda Ohatsu Tenjin Store" (⑅˘͈ ᵕ˘͈) is quite eye-catching with its unique door when the elevator doors open to the 3rd floor. Despite it being a weekday, the place was bustling with mainly young customers! Upon being seated at a table towards the back, we were instructed to order by scanning a QR code. The all-you-can-eat "Thick-cut Pork Samgyeopsal" starting from 2,980 yen was quite appealing. This time, although I wanted to try the Samgyeopsal, there were many other enticing menu items, so we opted for à la carte. Here's what we had today: - Appetizer: 350 yen - Aged Samgyeopsal Medium (serves 2-3): 3,480 yen - Oil Kimchi: 380 yen - Kakuteki: 380 yen - Adult Potato Salad: 430 yen - Korean Seaweed Chorogi Salad: 580 yen - Spicy Yamnyom Chicken: 580 yen - Seafood Jeon: 780 yen - Yukhoe-style Rare Steak: 880 yen - Special Cold Noodles: 880 yen - Rich Tiramisu: 580 yen - Gelato (Pistachio): 280 yen We started with a toast with draft beer (^_^)／□☆□＼(^_^) For the main dish, I was a bit indecisive but ended up choosing the Samgyeopsal. When the Samgyeopsal arrived, it came with kimchi and bean sprouts on the same plate. The staff cut the thick-cut Samgyeopsal and once it was nicely grilled, it was simply delicious! The pork was juicy, perfectly grilled, and incredibly tasty! It was great wrapped in lettuce with sauce and special garlic chives. The Adult Potato Salad was made with green chili peppers and tuna, which I liked. There's also a Children's Potato Salad that seems to include corn. The Spicy Yamnyom Chicken, although it looked very spicy, turned out to be indeed hot! If you're not a fan of extreme spiciness, the Garlic Soy Sauce Chicken or Yamnyom Chicken might be a safer choice. The chicken was tender and delicious! Among the various Jeon I've tried, the Seafood Jeon was exceptionally delicious! It was thick and had a satisfying texture, melting in the mouth. The Yukhoe-style Rare Steak had a moist texture, and when mixed with the sweet and savory sauce and egg yolk, it was a guaranteed hit. The Special Cold Noodles had kimchi, radish, cucumber, and a whole egg on top. The cool, chewy noodles paired perfectly with the flavorful broth. The Rich Tiramisu was creamy and luscious, with a generous portion. The Pistachio Gelato was also delicious, with a strong pistachio flavor. I planned to try Kimbap and Sundubu as well, but I had to give up due to being full. Everything was more delicious than expected, so I'll save them for next time's enjoyment (๑￫ܫ￩) Thank you for the meal.

★2-hour all-you-can-eat and drink Samgyeopsal (3980 yen + weekend fee 330 yen + otoshi 350 yen = 4460 yen) with Korean chicken, Chumokbap, and pure tofu included! With 4 pieces of Korean chicken, a generous portion of Chumokbap, and these 3 dishes along with one serving of Samgyeopsal, most people would feel full^^ This was my first time trying Chumokbap, and it was like Korean onigiri with tuna mixed in the rice - delicious! The pure tofu was quite spicy, with tofu and bits of something like hormone mixed in, which I really liked! The Korean chicken comes in 4 flavors to choose from, and they are consistently tasty. The Samgyeopsal started with thick pork belly^^ I added hormone and pork shoulder loin! The pork belly and hormone were really fatty and delicious^^ Wrapping the kimchi, white leek, and crown daisy in lettuce and eating it made my mouth happy and satisfied♥ Crown daisy is not that common to see, right? I was happy to have it! All-you-can-eat makes you eat too much. Not good. The restaurant had many young staff members, and the operation was a bit lacking. They brought a large amount of Chumokbap and pure tofu to the wrong table, and even though I spilled all the sweet sauce on the hot plate, they didn't change it, and they cooked the meat on the burnt sauce. Also, the drinks were very slow to come. It's understandable because they were busy, but depending on the staff member, the grilling skills and service varied, so I honestly felt there were hits and misses. 🙇‍♂️

I went to Kogi Seoul in Umeda, where you can eat all-you-can-eat thick pork samgyupsal for ¥3,980. When you open the interesting door that you often see on Instagram, you'll find a spacious restaurant inside! This time, I went with a group of U25 gourmets. Personally, it was my first time trying samgyupsal, and I felt that the pork fat was a bit heavy, making me feel full quickly. It might not be suitable for those who get full quickly from the fat of sirloin in yakiniku. Also, the staff seemed a bit inexperienced, with some awkward interactions and mishaps, giving me a mixed feeling.

Exciting entrance, fun to open and the atmosphere is excellent. Just a short walk from Higashi Umeda. The meat is delicious and the side dishes are of high quality. It can be a bit difficult to talk because of the noisy surroundings, you might have to speak loudly to be heard. Laugh out loud.

The food was delicious, but it took a long time to be served because it was crowded. The atmosphere was lively and more geared towards young people, so it may not be suitable for those looking for a calm experience. The staff's service was excellent!

It was nice to dine at a trendy Korean restaurant! The staff seemed a bit busy, perhaps due to being short-staffed. [Food Received] - Samgyupsal set for 2 people: The staff takes care of everything! The dishes are served at the perfect timing, so there are no mistakes in taste! Also, the set comes with a variety of condiments, so you won't get bored of the flavors! - Sundubu: It had a gentle spiciness. It also had egg whites, so you can get your protein intake. [Interior] It has the feel of a typical Korean eatery, with iron tables and bright lighting. The entrance is like a refrigerator door, which is interesting. The spacious single-floor interior. [Staff Service] There were quite a few tables, but only 2 staff members were managing the whole floor (during dusk). The orders seemed to come a bit slowly, but it could vary depending on the day. The young staff members are working hard.

I've always wanted to go there! There were a lot of women, even on weekdays, so it seems like it's better to make a reservation! The staff cook all the samgyupsal for you, so it's easy but a bit awkward (laughs). The samgyupsal set alone feels a little small.

I made a reservation for 5:00 PM and the restaurant quickly became full. The Samgyupsal, Jumokbap, and Jjigae were all delicious. What made me happiest was that the lettuce was cut in half. When I usually eat Samgyupsal, the lettuce is too big and difficult to eat, and I could taste the grassy flavor a lot. It's a really small thing, but personally, I was so happy about it that I want to go back again.

Taste: Good Everything was very delicious! The "thick-cut samgyupsal" was especially good! I also recommend the "kimbap"! Atmosphere: Good I was surprised by the entrance of the restaurant at first, but once inside, it was spacious and nice! The staff were polite and the excitement of waiting for the samgyupsal to be grilled was great! Price: I think the prices are affordable even for students!
