This is a yakiniku restaurant that opened in April this year (2023) on the 4th floor of the Tennoji Mio Plaza building directly above JR Tennoji Station. This is my second visit. It was a hot day outside and I was feeling exhausted from the heat, so I decided to have something cool and refreshing nearby. I came here for some cold noodles. The newly renovated interior has 45 seats, including table seats and counter seats facing the wall. It is bright and clean, targeting women with its new look. The lunch menu includes various yakiniku lunches (starting from 1,190 yen) with rice, miso soup, salad, and kimchi, as well as the original yakiniku set meal (990 yen) created by Daido-Mon, who invented the yakiniku set meal. Additionally, Korean dishes such as "Pure Tofu Chige Set" (1,280 yen), "Stone Pot Bibimbap Set" (1,080 yen), and "Cold Noodle Set" (1,280 yen) are also available. I was tempted by the variety of options, but I stuck to my original plan and ordered the "Cold Noodle Set." The restaurant uses QR codes for ordering via smartphone, but since it was early in the day and not crowded, I was able to place my order verbally. The Cold Noodle Set arrived promptly. It consisted of cold noodles in a ceramic bowl, roast beef salad, and two side dishes, with vinegar on the side. The side dishes included soybean sprouts and komatsuna namul, as well as carrot and daikon pickles. The roast beef salad was elegantly prepared with diced beets. The cold noodles were served in a clear soup with translucent noodles, kimchi, steamed pork, cucumber, daikon, and half a boiled egg, topped with shredded red chili pepper. When I took a sip of the soup, the refreshing coldness hit my parched throat, followed by a subtle umami flavor. The right amount of saltiness made it refreshing and satisfying for my sweaty body. The chewy texture of the noodles added to the enjoyment, although it made my jaw tired. The steamed pork had a rich meaty flavor, and the sweet and sour vegetables were a nice touch. Sometimes watermelon is served with the cold noodles during this season, but I prefer it without. Watermelon tends to overpower the overall flavor of the dish. Adding vinegar halfway through enhanced the refreshing taste and balanced the flavors. I finished every last drop and felt refreshed. Thanks to this meal, I was able to cool down and relax on this hot and humid day.

There was a shop in Daito City where I used to go frequently and have the cheapest yakiniku bento. I visited Daido Mon for the first time in about 20 years. I also come to Mio occasionally because I earn Mio points. It was around 1:30 pm on Friday, but except for Kamukura and Kohaku, it was empty. I sat at the counter. For some reason, even though it was empty, there was a customer sitting next to me. I had a medium bottle of beer for 650 yen and the bestseller for 2,380 yen. It included black wagyu sirloin, kalbi, tongue, and harami, two pieces each. It also came with eringi mushrooms, salad, kakuteki, soup, and I chose bibimbap for the rice. I thought it was nice that you could choose the rice. Compared to the yakiniku restaurant in Suminoe Park the other day, the portion was small, and I wish I had eaten better tongue and harami. Tennoji is becoming a fierce battleground for yakiniku too, so I hope they improve the quality a bit. Thank you for the meal.

Since the headquarters is located in Osaka Esaka, this shop is not very common in the city. By chance, a new store was opened in Tennoji this time. I didn't plan to eat here during this homecoming, but when I suddenly came to Tennoji, I saw an opportunity. It's important to cherish your ancestors, right? Hidomon Tennoji MIO store was there. With Abeno Harukas attracting people and making JR Tennoji side look clean, once you step outside, the lively Osaka downtown atmosphere remains unchanged - this is Tennoji. I took the elevator to the 4th floor, and there was a spacious Hidomon store. Since it was before noon, we were quickly seated. We checked the menu and found a variety of lunch specials. We decided to order a BBQ set economy, beef rice set, Reiwa BBQ lunch with 250g of harami, and kalbi BBQ lunch. We ordered a lot so that everyone in the family could enjoy their favorites. We shared the dishes and had a great time eating. The rice was free to refill, and I wish we had ordered some tetchan. When I was in Osaka, I rarely ate tetchan. After trying pork hormone, I started liking beef hormone, my taste preferences are still as unpredictable as ever. First, we had salad and kimchi. The sauce was a bit limited but was refillable anytime. The beef rice set, harami, and economy meat were brought one after another. We grilled the kalbi and loin moderately, and carefully checked the cooking of the harami. When eaten with sauce, ah! This harami is really delicious. It's a mystery that the harami in Gunma tastes different. I think it's because of the sagari, but the harami or sagari in Gunma has a different texture and taste. Why is that? The kalbi and loin were grilled and eaten continuously. My wife really liked the beets in the namul. She even took some from other set meals to eat. You don't see beets often in BBQ restaurants. We shared the extra rice and had a satisfying meal. It was a bit pricey, but for the first lunch in Osaka, it was worth it. If my last meal in life comes, I want to eat a lot of harami at Hidomon. Thank you for the meal!

On a scorching Sunday, I took my grandchildren to Abeno Harukas. We went to a yakiniku restaurant on the same floor as the sushi place we visited earlier. My third-grade grandson really wanted to try yakiniku, so we ordered a variety of meat dishes. I also wanted to have a beer, so I ordered some small dishes to go with it. The meat, such as salted tongue, lean meat, harami, and premium loin, was all delicious, especially the premium loin. The lean Japanese beef came in a single piece and was easy to eat. The marinated kalbi was also tasty and tender. The atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit cramped, but it's understandable given its location in the heart of Abeno. The service was average. My older grandchild started to get a bit bored, so we decided to wrap up our meal before it got too late. We had a great time enjoying sushi, yakiniku, and the view of Osaka from the observation deck with my grandchildren. It was a truly enjoyable experience.

The historic restaurant Oodoumon, known for its original yakiniku bento, also makes an appearance at Mio! The service is very polite, with both experienced and inexperienced staff (laughs). They even bring warm tea after the meal and have candy at the register, very thoughtful. The original yakiniku bento is 990 yen including tax. It is said that Oodoumon was the first to come up with this type of bento. The sliced yakiniku is delicious with a sweet flavor and good portion size. The namul, vegetable salad, rolled omelette, and Korean seaweed are all fresh and well-balanced in nutrients. The homemade feel of the rolled omelette is a nice touch. With rice and miso soup, you can definitely overcome the heat with this meal.

Tennoji MIO Plaza building 4th floor. It just opened in April, so it's very clean. I was thinking of getting the Harami set meal, but I found a wonderful menu. ⚫️Harami & Tetchan lunch 160g for 1480 yen! Comes with white rice, miso soup, and kimchi. I chose the large rice portion without hesitation. I was so happy to see my favorite Harami and Tetchan in a set. Both the Harami and Tetchan were delicious ♡ The Tetchan was so big that I had to borrow scissors to cut it into bite-sized pieces and grill it. The fatty meat was so tender and tasty. I ate a lot of rice too ( ^ω^ ) I asked for an iced coffee for 200 yen after the meal. Is there no iced coffee? When I looked at the menu, they served me hot tea instead. It was refreshing after the oily meal. Thank you for the meal.

I am "Noronori," who mainly eats lunch around Sakai. MIO-san apparently opened 30 new stores from February to April 2023. The two that caught my attention are "Sekai no Yamachan" and "Daidomon." I think I'll visit both at once. First, I went to Daidomon. It's a long-established yakiniku restaurant in Osaka. You can order through mobile ordering, and all menu items are available for lunch. I had the 1,190 yen Harami yakiniku lunch. The Harami was delicious. From the time of mobile ordering to finishing the meal, it only took 13 minutes. Maybe I eat fast, but I'm grateful for the quick service at Daidomon. Thank you for the meal.

When I was younger or when my children were small, I used to appreciate cheap restaurants where you could eat a lot. But lately, there are times when I don't mind spending a little more for good food. The other day, I was in that mood so I went to a restaurant. Oh, it was delicious! I ordered the stone pot bibimbap for the finishing touch, but I also want to try the cold noodles next time. Thank you for the meal!

Date of visit: May 1, 2023, Monday Time of visit: around 11:30 AM Number of people: 2 adults I visited the newly opened restaurant in late April and it was very clean and stylish inside. Lunch special: Harami Yakiniku Set (tax included 1880 yen) - Harami 150g - Namul 3 types - Kimchi - Rice (multigrain rice) - Miso soup * You can choose between white rice or multigrain rice, and also opt for a large serving. The meat was very tender and the sauce was delicious. The staff was very attentive, including the timing of serving cold water and tea at the end.

I went with my parents. We enjoyed both the meat and the side dishes. I would like to go again.

I ordered the 150g harami lunch. The portion size was good, but the quality of the meat was poor, and the smell when eating was unpleasant. It was bearable when eaten with kimchi. The sauce was also bland.

I received wonderful service and had a pleasant meal. It would have been nice to have individual vegetables like cabbage and onions in addition to the namul.

It was delicious.

The lunch offers great value for money.

The cost performance was good.

It has been 16 years since the last new store opening for the long-established Osaka-style sauce grilled meat restaurant, Daido-mon. It was my first time visiting in years, back from my student days. I ordered a luxurious platter with top loin, top kalbi, and wagyu lean meat, along with salted tongue and harami. The black-haired wagyu female cow meat had a fine marbling, offering a rich taste in the loin and kalbi cuts. The salted tongue was thick and had a good bounce, allowing you to enjoy the texture of the tongue. The harami, a signature dish of Daido-mon, was moist and tender, and at 800 yen per serving, it was quite a bargain. The performance of the smokeless roaster was impressive, as there was no worry about the smell sticking to clothes. As expected from a restaurant that has been loved in Osaka for a long time, I was able to enjoy affordable and delicious yakiniku.
