    Excellent place near the river, great ambient and great heaters for warming up the cold winter night. Food was great and it was not expensive. The owner lady is really friendly and gave us free popcorn 😁 10/10 would visit again.

    Great place with amazingly good food and nice variety of drink at very affordable price. Staff is very frendly and most of them are foreigners, so it's a good place both for tourists and locals who wish to practice their English language. This place is next to Nipponbashi on the canal! Great atmosphere!

    Amazing place and even more amazing people! Met Luca-san (sorry if i got the name wrong!) and Megumi-san… Megumi-san is super nice and Luca-san was straight up a great bartender from Itqly and recommended me this awesome drink. Definitely will come back again!!

    Not sure who they’ve paid for all the other reviews, but comfortably the worst meal we’ve had in 2 weeks in Japan. (Ironically also the most expensive). The chicken was super greasy, croquettes tiny and from a freezer, and everything was overpriced. To be fair, it’s listed as more of a bar, so might be fine for a drink, but felt like a real tourist trap for anything else.

    We stopped by this great riverside pub because of the ratings and sat in the outdoor covered patio. The drinks were great and the service from both Shota and Kumiko were fantastic. They were incredibly attentive and polite and conversations with Kumiko were very friendly. Shota even set us up with a driver for their river cruise. If you're looking for a good stop in Dotonbori by the river and want a casual atmosphere, this is your place.

    I highly recommend this place, Luca is a great guy, speaks fluent English for all the English speaking tourists, great little place, prices are amazing and they have the absolute best fried chicken I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten it all over the Southern US and nothing there can come close to this places fried chicken. I’d give this spot 100 stars if I could

    Never given a review before but felt like this place deserved one. Went the other night with my girlfriend and the staff spoke very good English so we were able to have a good chat & laugh with them. The food and drinks were great, and they also gave us some great recommendations on other things to do in the area. Highly recommend.

    Our experience was a 1 star, but I know it was an honest mistake and I can see how everyone else was having a good time. We ordered the steak, shrimp and french fries. We got the french fries immediately. We were then waiting for our two main courses and after one hour nothing arrived. I was pretty upset and asked what was going on. It seems as if they forgot our order. So I asked them to cancel our shrimp and simply bring the steak. The steak was out in 3 minutes after my complaint and the restaurant gave us a free coca cola as an apology. I really wish that this did not happen as it practically ruined our only night in Osaka, but we are all human. Thanks for the nice views and atmosphere.

    I just happened to stop by this place with my mom. It was the best memory of Osaka travel. It was like a huge fluke. It's vibe, facility, food, and drinks in addtion to the price were alll more than satisfactory.

    I highly recommend here if you plan to visit dotonbori with the plan of drinking boozes. despite I realized that I developed alcohol abuse, I really enjoyed here. bartenders are fluent in english so despite me being not-so-fluent in japanese, it was enjoyable talking. I definitely recommend all-you-can-drink course if you consider yourself as a heavy drinker. all drinks below 600 yen is yours and they even give you a jug of Asahi if you wish.

    Fantastic atmosphere with fantastic food. Mai was so kind and attentive, and she made our experience very fun. It was nice to be able to order in English. We ordered some beers, and we ordered the most tender harami steaks! We thought it was just a nice, bar snack, but we needed up ordering more because it was so juicy and tender! Great food and drinks right on the river! So we will come back again

    We checked in at our hotel down the road and headed out to scope the neighbourhood. Stumbled across this place, right on the water and had the best time sipping high balls and keeping warm right by the river (outdoor heaters). Good end of year energy. Mumu, our waitress was a star. Thanks!

    Love their food! I personally enjoyed the caesar salad, most especially the fried chicken as I’m a bit picky with chicken, but they were so yummy! Servers are really friendly and they communicate in English very well. Will definitely go back when in Osaka.

    Great little bar near the water. Atmosphere is great. Good music. I think the best venue on the water for a drink. Come check out the friendly staff. .

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 5 months ago on Google
    Best pub in Dontobori with perfect view of river! Mumu and the staff were great and very attentive with perfect English! Food (Garlic Shrimp & Mixed Pizza) was 10/10 as well as the whole outdoor patio vibe, definitely a must do for food or a quick bite if you’re in the area!

  • 5/5 Karina P. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a vibe by the river! Mumu our waitress, was a sweetie who took good care of us! Food was 10 out of 10. The service in general from this lovely place was 11 out of 10 - foreign-friendly, super helpful and friendly staff, great food and drinks. Recommend the Bakudan (a popular local Japanese cocktail) if you like drinks that are semi sweet.

  • 5/5 Nick D. 5 months ago on Google
    Visited Japan for 3 weeks, starting/ending in Osaka. My wife and I came back to this place 3 times. Located riverside at a quieter end of the canal, it was perfect for a beer and snacks! The staff are great, and speak impeccable English, especially Yuna! Thanks for being so hospitable to us :))) Great atmosphere, I’d keep coming back but sadly we leave Japan soon. Well done guys!

👍👍 Go to the basement floor which has all kinds of food stalls and specialty stores. Go there an hour before closing and most of the packaged food items will be discounted like 30% or Y300 off. It’s great deal for budget travel. They also have very good yogurt drinks and other bakery items.

👍👍 An amazing dinning experience available in different locations throughout Japan, but we enjoyed ours most in Osaka. Quick and tasty, but take your time enjoying the savory cuts you get to cook to your own delight at your table. Very friendly and efficient staff. Some waiting likely during dinning...
