When I can't decide what to eat or I'm feeling lazy to think, I usually go for the daily special at family restaurants. Today, I had the daily special at Osho. The portion size is great for the price of 680 yen! I'm a bit worried about gaining weight because it's carb-heavy, but the value for money is excellent. Osho now accepts the latest electronic money and cards, which is very convenient. My visits to Osho have definitely increased.

I think the dumplings have definitely become more delicious since switching from in-store preparation to using the robot in the central kitchen. Some staff members used to make dumplings that were messy and some were just pitiful...lol I hope they continue to uphold the values of being cheap, tasty, and fast!

Occasionally coming to Kokubu for work, today I came to the area near Kokubu Station in search of lunch. Despite the light drizzle, it was humid and hot. Inside Osho, the air conditioning was blasting so much that it was beyond cool, almost cold. Haha. I wanted to have ramen and gyoza today, but ended up having gyoza and fried rice. The soup that came with the fried rice was smooth and delicious. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I wonder if the taste can vary so much depending on the store, even though it's the same chain as Ousho located in front of Kawachikokubun Station... Σ( ´･ω･`)

After finishing a company meeting, we went to have lunch at Gyoza no Osho located in front of Kintetsu Kawachi Kokubu Station West Exit. At Osho, gyoza, fried rice, and ramen are the standard menu items, but when looking at the menu, there was an original menu item called "Yaki Mayo Tenshinhan"!! Just from the name, it gives off a strong B-class vibe haha. We ordered the Yaki Mayo Tenshinhan for 420 yen (plus 136 yen for large size), Negi Mayo Aburi Chashu for 420 yen, and two orders of gyoza for 210 yen each. The Yaki Mayo Tenshinhan arrived first, and it was surprisingly small, although the bowl was large so it seemed to be correct. Well, it was cheap at 420 yen, but the additional 136 yen was not so cheap, so a little more quantity would have been greatly satisfying. The aroma was like the smell when you pick up grilled salmon at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant and bring it to your mouth with chopsticks. The taste was a delicious balance of sauce, egg, and mayo, truly a B-class gourmet dish haha. The Negi Mayo Aburi Chashu was a tender chashu with mayo, green onions, and bean sprouts at the bottom, and it was very delicious when eaten together. Both dishes were high in calories due to the mayo overload, but we couldn't resist the deliciousness, so we enjoyed it. The gyoza, as always, had a delicious taste and we enjoyed them. After this, I feel like visiting other Osho locations to try out their original menu items. Thank you for the meal! ^^

The restaurant across the street was crowded, so I decided to come here. It was around 11:30 AM, but the tables were almost full. It seems like they are doing well. After being seated, it took a while for the server to bring water. There were many new staff members, and they seemed a bit flustered and not very proactive. I placed my order with the help of the kitchen staff. I ordered a ramen and fried rice set, as well as a fried rice, gyoza, and fried chicken set. They asked if it was okay for the gyoza to take 7-8 minutes, which was fine with me. The service was quick, and the food was delicious. Overall, it was a good experience.

My family and I received a message saying "Have dinner outside" so we visited this restaurant. Initially, we planned to go to a different restaurant across the street, but it was crowded so we changed our destination to this one. Food: I started with a refreshing beer, a large bottle of Super Dry. We ordered the restaurant's original SPD set, which stands for Speed, not LSD thankfully! The menu boasted "Taste, price, speed! The best in the area!" We ordered the following: - Grilled Mayonnaise Tianjin rice - Negi Ramen - Shrimp Tempura The Grilled Mayonnaise Tianjin rice had a nice blend of sweet and sour sauce with a creamy mayonnaise flavor. It seemed high in calories but delicious. The Negi Ramen, a chicken broth soy sauce ramen, had thin straight noodles that were a bit difficult to eat as they tended to clump together. The soup lacked a bit of flavor, perhaps due to the excess water from the boiled bean sprouts. We added a bit of chili oil from the table to enhance the taste. The Shrimp Tempura lacked the desired firmness, which was disappointing. After enjoying these three dishes along with the beer, we were satisfied. In my younger days, I might have ordered another dish, but now this amount was just right for me. Items consumed: - Super Dry (large bottle) ... ¥504 - National Station Front Store Original SPD Set ... ¥800 (Source: http://blog.livedoor.jp/kyuumudou/archives/52056011.html)

Gyoza no Ousho, located in front of Kawachi Kokubu Station on the Kintetsu Osaka Line, is a chain restaurant known mainly in Western Japan. The menu structure is left to the discretion of the store manager, so in addition to the regular menu, there are plenty of store-exclusive menu items. This particular store seems relatively new, and it is one of the few places around the station that stays open late, attracting customers at all hours. I ordered gyoza for takeout, but since they were just starting to cook when I arrived, I had to wait a bit. The price for two servings of gyoza, including the box, was 484 yen, which was a bit expensive. The gyoza, a signature dish, had a firm, elastic skin filled with plenty of ingredients, different from the bite-sized gyoza commonly found in Kansai. The area around Kawachi Kokubu Station is a quiet residential neighborhood, but with Osaka Kyoiku University nearby, there are also many student customers. Across the street, there is a rival restaurant called "Osaka Osho," but Gyoza no Ousho's bright signage seems to attract more attention. It is a convenient spot for those who work late.

This Thursday, I went to a restaurant called Osho in Higashiosaka with the same group of people I did a blind review with at Yamato Matsubara before. It was the Latin department's manager, a member of that department, and me. I actually had another appointment scheduled for that day, but the client in Higashiosaka urgently requested my presence. So, I had to reschedule my previous appointment to accommodate this new one. We ended up at Osho because we couldn't find any other suitable restaurants nearby in time. We didn't specifically choose Osho, but it was a convenient option at the moment. We placed our orders - the Latin department manager opted for fried chicken and egg drop soup as he was on a low-carb diet (which didn't seem to be working based on his food choice), the department member ordered plate udon, and I chose the rich ramen and fried rice set. While we waited for our food, the department member shared a funny story about a former colleague who invited him to a supposedly delicious Chinese restaurant in Namba, only to find out it was actually Osho. It seems Osho has quite a reputation, even among Chinese people. The food arrived - the plate udon was huge and looked delicious, the fried chicken was massive and definitely not diet-friendly, and my rich ramen looked surprisingly similar to Tenkaippin ramen. And the fried rice looked equally appetizing. I tried the ramen first and was pleasantly surprised by how much better it tasted compared to Tenkaippin. The fried rice was also incredibly delicious. The Latin department manager's egg drop soup was also surprisingly large and looked tasty for its price. Overall, the food was satisfying, and we enjoyed our meal at Osho.

On a certain evening in May 2021, I went to this directly operated store to get takeout for dinner. - Fried rice, 432 yen: Moist and just the right amount of oil. The seasoning is just right, fragrant and full of flavor. - Chicken Karaage, 540 yen: It was cold due to takeout, but when sprinkled with a little salt, the thick chicken was juicy and full of flavor. - Gyoza, 237 yen: Ordered them well-cooked. The crispy skin was nicely browned and fragrant. The filling was generous and full of flavor. Personally, I prefer gyoza with a solid texture, so these were to my liking. - Box fee, 32 yen. Total: 1239 yen. It was a delicious meal.
