In this season, I had a rich dinner with a sirloin steak. The normal portion is 160g, but this time the dinner plan came with 240g, which is 1.5 times the usual amount. If you opt for an additional serving, it would be 320g, but the price goes up significantly. Starting from 2022, they allow extra rice, but no refills. The original sauce is a mix of miso and soy sauce, which is familiar and tasty. The Western-style demiglace sauce, on the other hand, lacks a bit of saltiness and feels more like a hotel-style sauce. The sirloin wasn't as tender as expected, perhaps due to cost considerations. The consommé was flavorful, and the salad helped refresh the palate. I ended the meal with a refreshing iced coffee. Thank you for visiting and reading my review.

The cost performance is good, right? I went there before and the Lunch Sirloin Steak Lunch here seems nice too, but the dessert may or may not be included depending on the gender, which I found disappointing when I searched online. It's a bit outdated and confusing menu, so I decided to go for the service lunch where you can choose the main dish. Pumpkin's mini soup has a gentle sweetness, and the appetizer salad is beautifully presented with enjoyable small dishes. The main dish is white fish beignet with a light curry-flavored coating, which is fragrant and delicious with a crispy texture. I chose rice and it went well with the drink bar offering refreshing options like ginger ale and iced coffee. It was a satisfying meal. Thank you for visiting and reading.

Hotel Garden Palace to the restaurant Season, looking at the website, it seems like nothing has changed but they are still operating. The buffet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays is no longer available (they should update their website). I opted for the lunch set where you can choose your main dish. There was no soup, but they had smoothies which were delicious, especially the one with kiwi and carrot base. The dessert-like items were very stylish. The chicken chilindron, a traditional Spanish dish cooked in tomato sauce, was also very tasty and seemed to appeal to female tastes. The portion sizes were on the smaller side, which might be seen as a negative, but the flavors were good. The chicken was cooked well and served with a tomato sauce with beans. I would have liked it to be served hotter. The appetizers were also stylish and hotel-like, with a light dressing on the salad. The coffee was lukewarm, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a delicious meal. Thank you for reading.

It's just average, I guess.

[Visit Date: 2016.2.1] Entered the restaurant at 12:50. Dropped by on the way back from Shinjuku. It was my first time seeing it, and it turned out to be a bigger and more splendid hotel than I expected. The 1080 yen buffet, including tax, is only available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so be careful with the dates. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, they have a buffet at the hotel's Japanese restaurant, but it's a bit more expensive at 1500 yen. Since it was past the lunch peak time, it was relatively empty. Initially, I felt that there were not many dishes, but that was because many dishes were covered in containers. There was also consideration in serving many dishes warm in heated trays. The pork fillet cutlet with demi-glace sauce was provided through a cooking demonstration. The soft drinks were from a dispenser of commercial drinks, not fresh juice. It was disappointing that there was no espresso machine and only one type of hot coffee. I tried all the dishes except for curry, pumpkin soup, cream puffs, and rolled kelp. The curry had two types, seafood and sausage, but there were hardly any ingredients.

The top three dishes were the coffee mousse, steamed salmon with white wine, and salmon sashimi. They were all decent but nothing particularly outstanding. However, considering the price, I think it was sufficient. The disappointing part was that the sweets, except for the coffee mousse, were probably not made by the hotel and were not delicious. What was good was the service where the staff did not bother you too much or leave you unattended. The service was impressive, as expected from a hotel restaurant. I personally don't like restaurants that frequently clear plates. Here, they would take them away after stacking a few, which was just right. Overall, I think it's a good choice for those who want to eat a variety of dishes at a reasonable price.

The restaurant is located inside Osaka Garden Palace at JR Shin-Osaka Station. I used the breakfast buffet. The hotel is quite big so I had high expectations, but the buffet had a limited selection. The main dishes were bacon, sausage, calamari rings, and nikujaga (meat and potato stew). They had takoyaki, which is typical of Osaka. It seems like they don't put much effort into breakfast, probably because they cater more to business travelers and foreign tourists. If you're on a business trip, it's best not to expect too much.

My friend is off today, but I have to work. Let's go for breakfast. We have plans to go out for dinner later that day. During weekdays, I like to try different breakfast places, but on weekends, the options seem limited. So, we end up going to a hotel for breakfast. Garden Palace is a hotel I have known since I was a child. They even have a shuttle bus from Shin-Osaka station. My mother is from Nagoya, so she always wants to go out for breakfast. As a child, we used to go out for breakfast every weekend, and Garden Palace was one of our favorite spots. The breakfast buffet costs 1,050 yen now, payable in advance. They offer a mix of Japanese and Western dishes. It may not be as fancy as other hotels, but it's good for the price. The only thing I missed was scrambled eggs and bacon, which are a must for a hotel breakfast buffet. The hotel has been renovated, and it looks different now. It was a bit sad to see the old charm gone, but it still felt nice to have breakfast there. Bon appétit!

Season-san. When I was a high school student, I used to work part-time at this restaurant. During summer vacation, I would start early in the morning and have breakfast with the leftovers from the breakfast buffet. My friend agreed to accompany me to revisit the nostalgic breakfast buffet♡ The breakfast buffet costs 1050 yen. I remember it being a bit cheaper back in the day. The breakfast buffet is available from 7:00 to 10:00. I think it used to start at 6:30. It's been a quarter of a century already, so it's natural that things have changed a lot, including the interior of the restaurant. My favorite was to toast a small, thin square bread, top it with scrambled eggs and sausage, drizzle ketchup, fold it in half, and eat it, along with a simple Western-style salad for breakfast. But now, the scrambled eggs are gone and replaced with fried eggs. The large belt-type bread toaster has been replaced with a regular toaster. So, I tried a Western-style breakfast like this. Tomato juice is delicious♡ Rich and sweet with a good flavor. I also had a bit of Japanese-style food. Even though I was full, I couldn't resist dessert, so I had some fruits and small pancakes. And fruit yogurt. I was shown the lunch menu for future reference. It looks quite delicious, so I'll visit for lunch next time. They also have a buffet on Tuesdays and Fridays for a thousand yen! The mousse cake (bavarois cake) that I used to love has been replaced with regular cake, but there are still plenty of mousse desserts available. I'll drop by again sometime♪

The lunch buffet is usually only available on weekdays, but it was being offered on the weekend before Valentine's Day, so I went with some female friends. We met at Shin-Osaka Station and took the shuttle bus to Garden Palace Hotel. It only took 5 minutes to arrive. When we got there, even though it was 5 minutes before opening, there were already families everywhere and tables seemed to be reserved. As for the food, there were about 4 types of salads, including pork shabu-shabu, meatballs, chicken roll slices, beef tendon curry, calamari rings, small fish fritters, bonito sashimi, salt yakisoba, fried rice, seaweed chirashi, miso soup, soup, and about 2 types of bread. For dessert, there were a chocolate fountain, a special Valentine's chocolate mousse, and a fruit mousse cake, which was a bit disappointing. Considering the price (1000 yen), it was a good deal to be able to try various dishes, but personally, I just felt full and that's it. It seems like they will have another special weekend event next month (March), and my friends were interested, but I think I'm good for now.

The food and drinks were good, but I was quite concerned about the timing of the dishes being served. I ordered the full course, while my wife ordered the half course. First, my wife's half course appetizer and soup came out, and then immediately her main dish arrived. At this point, my full course hadn't even received the soup yet. Finally, when my wife had eaten about half of her main dish, my full course soup arrived, which turned out to be the exact same as my wife's half course soup. It would have been better if they had been served at the same time. In the end, my wife finished her meal quickly, leaving me to eat the fish and meat dishes alone. The salad was just lettuce and cabbage with store-bought shiso dressing. The price was cheap, so I was generally satisfied, but I wished they had been more attentive to the timing of the dishes.

The restaurant in the hotel has a slightly luxurious feel, with a sophisticated interior that is a mix of Japanese and modern styles. I really like the ambiance. The lunch buffet is 1000 yen and includes unlimited orange juice, oolong tea, and water. The main dishes vary each day, and on this day they had shrimp in chili sauce, ham steak, fried chicken, salad, soup, pasta, fried rice, and bread. The selection of vegetable dishes is a bit limited, but the dessert options are plentiful and perfect for those with a sweet tooth. There are cakes, Bavarian cream, fruits, and more, so you can leave satisfied. Overall, considering the location and quality, I think the 1000 yen lunch buffet at a hotel restaurant is a reasonable price.

This is a casual restaurant located on the first floor of the Osaka Garden Palace hotel, about a 10-minute walk west from the subway station Shin-Osaka. They offer a lunch buffet on Tuesdays and Fridays for 1300 yen. I visited with a friend and tried various dishes such as octopus and scallop marinade, mini tomato compote, shrimp cocktail salad, smoked salmon, smoked eel, cold pork, pork cold shabu, fried chicken, shrimp and white fish in chili sauce, omelette rice, penne with chicken ragu sauce, penne with tomato sauce, minestrone, shumai, and baby leaf salad, totaling 15 items. We also had orange juice, oolong tea, one piece of bread, cream mousse for dessert, and coffee. I tried to eat a little of each dish to avoid overeating since I had work in the afternoon, but ended up eating too much, especially the shrimp cocktail salad, shrimp chili, smoked salmon, and cold pork. For 1300 yen, the food was decent, with the cold pork being a favorite. It would have been nice to have more Japanese dishes like grilled fish or simmered dishes. The restaurant has a stylish and bright atmosphere with a glass-enclosed area facing the courtyard. The service was good, with staff promptly clearing plates to make room for new dishes. Unfortunately, I didn't feel very productive at work afterwards due to overeating. I realized I was foolish for eating so much.

I had a course dinner at night. The appetizer had seasonal items like persimmons, ham, and oysters, and the mushroom soup was rich and delicious. The main course was pork cutlet, and the potatoes served with it were also tasty. The dessert panna cotta had a sufficient amount, and the mango mousse on top was exquisite. Overall, it felt like a traditional hotel course meal. The hotel itself is about 10 minutes from Shin-Osaka, but there are several shuttle buses running every hour, so it's convenient if you don't want to walk.

I stayed at the Osaka Garden Palace Hotel and used the restaurant for breakfast. It was a open and casual atmosphere restaurant located in front of the front desk. The breakfast was a buffet style and cost 1000 yen. We were guided to a table by a male staff member and sat down with my colleague. The menu consisted of both Japanese and Western dishes, with not a wide variety but it was not crowded like many hotel breakfast restaurants tend to be, so we could enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. The taste was okay, nothing exceptional.

The food was pretty good. Overall, the flavors were strong. Is this what Taiwanese cuisine is like? World Gourmet Choice <Taiwanese Cuisine> Course for 2800 yen for 2 people, total 5600 yen. Appetizer platter with steamed chicken in kumquat sauce, tomato pickled in Taiwanese plum vinegar, and spicy wood ear mushroom salad. Stir-fried squid balls and vegetables with light salt seasoning. Taiwanese sausage and grilled xiaolongbao. Fried chicken with spicy sauce. Taiwanese pork belly minced meat rice bowl. Douhua with mixed berries and tapioca. Reservation bonus: Royal jasmine tea. I had been interested in the World Gourmet Choice event for a while, but the 3800 yen price with all-you-can-drink was a downside for me since I don't drink. However, the food-only option for 2800 yen was available, so I used various free tickets (facility usage ticket worth 5000 yen + GoTo Eat 600 points). Thank you for the meal.

We ate for three people between the two of us (lol). It was just delicious. The menu included a sirloin steak set for 1700 yen (steak 160g/soup/salad/rice or bread/coffee or tea/sherbet for women), shrimp fry for 1200 yen, domestic beef hamburger steak for 1200 yen, and strawberry banana berry sauce pancake for 900 yen. The total came to 5000 yen. The steak was okay, not particularly delicious. I preferred the steak I had in Okinawa for lunch at Steak 88. The soup was corn, and there were two types of bread, baguette and soft round bread, both warm. The soup was delicious. The salad was small, more like a side dish. The side dishes for the main course were potatoes, ratatouille, and greens. I love shrimp fry, but it was a bit difficult to eat with a knife and fork as the batter came off easily. I wonder if it was really delicious... I wish I could have eaten it with chopsticks. We used a 5000 yen voucher, so I ordered the steak set and shrimp fry, my family ordered the hamburger and coffee, and we shared the pancake, with more for my family and less for me. We thought we might get full and not be able to finish, but it wasn't a problem (lol). The portions weren't that big. The three shrimp fries were a nice surprise, as it looked like there were only two in the website photo. The pancake was fluffy, and the berry sauce was delicious. The sherbet was lemon-flavored, sweet and refreshing. However, the service was just okay... there was a staff member who was too loud and energetic, calling out reservation names in a booming voice when guests arrived, which I found a bit lacking in tact. Overall, it was a meal paid for with a voucher for accommodation and restaurants. Thank you for the meal. (Transportation cost: 0 yen)
