Customer Reviews
I’m not usually a fan of tendon or fried food, but it pairs perfectly with a cold beer! 🍺👍👍👍
Have no fear my fellow tourist mates. This restaurant provide English menus. Even if they don’t, you can always use google translate or point to what you would like. Order your ingredient and it is prepared immediately. You watch the chef work his magic, dip the stick into the batter and do a deep fry. Wonderful stuff this is. Every ingredient was fried to perfection. Do not double dip into the sauce and enjoy your meal. Once you dip, eat quickly as the batter goes soft quick. I like to eat these skewers when I’m in Osaka as I can’t find them anywhere else. Once you’re done with this meal, make your way down the alley and explore that wonderful 1980s/1990s arcade shop. I had a blast playing house of the dead, puzzle bobble, street fighter and old school super mario for 100 yen a game! Loved it!!
I like the old school fee sitting on the counter while the chef behind it does the frying of the food in front of you. Process is quite simple, they gave you a menu with prices on it and you pick from vegetables, seafood or meat. No need to order everything at one go. You continue to order more as you go. Great to go with a cold beer for sure. Staff is quite helpful but do be cautious as no double dipping of the sauce sitting in front of you is allowed.
Worth the long queue even I was there before peak lunch hours. They have English menu hence ordering was easy. Food was yummy. Recommended.
