I visited the restaurant around 2 pm, well past lunchtime, and remembered the delicious green curry I had. The variety of dishes has increased since my last visit, and they all tasted homemade and delicious with a gentle flavor. The fact that they are served in small dishes, possibly due to COVID-19 precautions, is also nice. The beef curry and green curry, which are not the typical spicy curries, were as delicious as I had hoped. The level of spiciness was just right for me, not too strong. The restaurant, run by a social welfare corporation, may not have a fancy atmosphere, but the heartfelt homemade dishes and cute desserts made for a very satisfying lunch. Thank you for the meal.

I finally went to Bodai-san, a place I've been wanting to visit for a while! The location is really in the middle of a residential area. Even after 12 o'clock, there were only a few customers so I could relax. There were homemade-style dishes lined up on the menu. With dessert and a drink included, it was a great deal for 1250 yen with unlimited time! I particularly liked the simmered yellowtail...I had three servings of it. The rumored Thai curry was a bit spicy but delicious. I indulged in both the regular curry and the Thai curry. The homemade dishes that cooled down were equipped with a self-service microwave. The desserts were stored in the refrigerator and also had a homemade feel to them, they were delicious. It was a recommended place to enjoy a leisurely meal!

I was able to eat unlimited until 4 o'clock and it was delicious (^｡^)

I visited this restaurant for the first time based on a friend's recommendation! It's a bit tucked away, but the parking lot is spacious and easy to find. I heard it was a buffet, but it turned out to be a set lunch on the day I visited. You could choose between Japanese and Western options, and for the Western choice, you could choose rice or bread. It has a simple and unique atmosphere because it is actually a restaurant that supports employment for people with disabilities. The food was served on a large plate with colorful and Instagram-worthy presentation. There were many varieties of dishes, all of which were delicious and made with a lot of care. They use plenty of vegetables, making it healthy and satisfying. They even grow their own vegetables, showing their dedication. The drink bar was included with free soft-serve ice cream, which would make kids happy. They also sell baked goods, making it a great place to chat over tea. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. I will definitely come back for a girls' night out.

■Lunch buffet for 1250 yen・This buffet restaurant is run by a social welfare corporation.・They use plenty of seasonal vegetables in their buffet, offering a healthy and delicious meal with all homemade dishes.・They have a wide variety of drinks and desserts, making it quite a deal for 1250 yen. Plus, there's no time limit, which is very generous. Every dish is well seasoned and tastes wonderful. However, perhaps due to the price, the selection of dishes is not very extensive. I also tried the popular Thai curry, but as someone who doesn't like spicy food, it was a bit challenging for me... I will visit again. Thank you for the meal♪

This is a restaurant located in a welfare facility in a residential area. The customers who attend the welfare facility seem to be working hard and doing their best. There are caregivers who assist, but the main service is provided by the customers, who serve food at the buffet table and clear used dishes. When I arrived at 11:00, there were hardly any dishes on the buffet table, so I ended up eating slowly until around 11:45 when more dishes started to be brought out. It is recommended to visit around 11:30 even though the restaurant opens at 11:00. I left before 12:00, and during my visit, there were two men who arrived around 11:30, a middle-aged couple who had made a reservation, and an elderly couple. Just as I was leaving, two elderly women arrived. The buffet mainly consisted of small Japanese dishes and a variety of fresh salads with gentle seasoning. There were three types of dressings for the salad. Despite the website mentioning freshly baked bread daily, there were only sandwich options like ham cutlets and egg cutlets, but there is a microwave and toaster available for heating. The soup options included beef curry, Thai curry, and edamame soup. The Thai curry was quite authentic, but may not be suitable for those who don't like spicy food. Some reviews mentioned that the desserts were not great, and I have to agree. All the cakes had dry sponges. Overall, I felt warm and cozy seeing everyone working hard, and the food was delicious. The restaurant was clean, bright, and spacious, so I left feeling satisfied. It seems that the buffet will not be available on Wednesdays starting in June, but it will continue on other days. I would like to visit again and hope they continue to do well.

Finally got to go to the restaurant! The vegetables were fresh and the dishes had a home-cooked taste. There were many options on the menu! Another favorite restaurant added to the list. The Thai curry had a great coconut flavor, but it was so spicy that I was sweating! However, it had a delicious umami flavor, not just spiciness. The dishes were very satisfying, but the dessert was just average... the cake was a bit dry. The jelly was tasty, and the cookies I bought as souvenirs were delicious, so maybe they should offer a variety of cookie flavors for dessert.

Less than 30 minutes from Namba on the Nankai Koya Line. I got off at Hatsushiba Station and walked for a little over 10 minutes. I thought the restaurant name was related to the operating body, but I found out that this area is actually called "Bodai-cho." I thought it was right next to Bodai Kindergarten, but in reality, the restaurant is located a little further ahead, in the middle of a residential area. I came to this restaurant with a specific purpose, and luckily it was open (it seems to have private rental days about once a week, so it's best to check the operating information on the official website in advance). It's a restaurant attached to a supported living facility. They only serve lunch for the general public (¥1,250 for adults, ¥680 for children, ¥350 for toddlers), but it seems you can also make private reservations for breakfast and dinner. You can also order alcohol for an additional fee. The seating is spacious and the interior is bright. There were also tables for gatherings like alumni reunions. The ceiling has a projector, making it suitable for private events. The back of the restaurant has the kitchen, and in front of that is the drink bar and soft-serve ice cream corner. The drink bar has diluted Coke, tea bags (multiple flavors), and a coffee machine. There is also a soft-serve ice cream machine. As you enter the restaurant hall, the entire left side is a buffet table. The variety of dishes is not flashy, but each dish is carefully prepared with attention to detail. The menu on the day I visited included salads, marinated vegetables, meatloaf, Spanish-style omelette, fried potatoes, white fish fry, mapo tofu, tempura vegetables, daikon rice cakes, chapchae, meat sauce spaghetti, mini hamburgers, various bread, sushi, pickled seaweed, black beans, and more. The majority of the dishes were vegetable-based and light, and there was something for everyone. The menu seems to change daily, so you won't get the same dishes every time you visit. The quality of the Thai curry they serve is exceptional, not catering to children but authentically spicy and coconut-sweet. The restaurant's operations and food quality are impressive. Check their website for more information on their operating days.

Sakai City, Bodai, there seems to be a delicious restaurant nearby that serves Massaman curry. They focus on buffet style with organic vegetables and have a good reputation. Although it's close by, I've put off going for a while. Finally decided to go. It's a bit far to walk, so I drove and found a large parking lot. The spacious restaurant with large glass windows was visible from outside. Inside, it's all-you-can-eat. I headed to the main dishes area and noticed they had curry. It said Massaman curry. It's a Thai curry. Let's try it. I'll have it with brown rice. Overall, it was very delicious. It had a deep flavor besides the sweetness of coconut milk, and the spiciness was excellent. It felt like fresh chili peppers were used. Let's try a little bit of each side dish. All of them were quite tasty. Especially, the vegetable tempura was delicious. After finishing everything, I couldn't resist and had a bit more. They were all decently tasty, but nothing exceptional except for the Massaman curry. It felt special and worth coming just for that. Thank you for reading.

It's a revisit after about 2 years, and I heard that the food has improved greatly since then! The taste and variety of dishes have been enhanced. The Thai Green Curry was mild for Japanese taste but still quite spicy. The Momo Pilaf had plenty of beef in it and was served in a bowl with Nasi Goreng. I also had multiple helpings of vegetable-based dishes. For dessert, I had soft-serve ice cream, all for only 1250 yen which is quite affordable. The value for money is great, so the restaurant was crowded with customers. Thank you for the meal! Bodai no Ie is a vocational support and life care facility operated by the social welfare corporation Tokusho Welfare Association. They recently opened a vegetable buffet in the facility, so I decided to visit and report on it. It was a bit difficult to find even with navigation, but the Osaka Radio Tower served as a good landmark. I brought two beautiful wives on maternity leave with me to enjoy fresh vegetables. The buffet mainly focused on vegetable dishes and was perfect for a small farewell party. The facility has been partially renovated and was very clean and beautiful. Many local moms were also there, showing that it's popular among mothers. The buffet had unlimited time for 1200 yen until around 4 pm. The vegetables, mainly grown in their own garden, were fresh and had a good crunch to them. They were not greenhouse-grown but field-grown, so you could taste the sweetness. I filled my plate with vegetables cooked in various ways and also tried rice, dry curry, kimchi fried rice, and Thai curry. The Thai curry had a nice kick to it. They also had bread and desserts, and you could finish with coffee or soft-serve ice cream. It's not a for-profit organization, so they may lack a bit of business sense, but let's accept that with a big heart. Thank you for the meal - I will definitely visit again.

Both privately and publicly, I have been taken care of by this restaurant multiple times in the past. The green curry, in particular, is exquisite!! This time, I came with special feelings (my daughter is being taken care of here). The buffet is also delicious, both the salads and side dishes. The taste remains unchanged. Due to the coronavirus, takeout seems to be popular. We also ordered two servings of curry. The staff are all kind. I will definitely go back. They are thorough with disinfection and temperature checks, so I felt safe using their services. Please try going there again.

Thanks to the review from Mamochan in Sakai, I learned about this place. It's a buffet that uses vegetables grown by people with disabilities and offers handmade cookies as well. There are various types of restaurants, from affordable to upscale, but I decided to visit this unique place. The location is a bit narrow, but once you find it, it's easy to get there. The building is small but new and clean, with a spacious parking lot. I didn't know about this place at all, but it's quite popular, as the parking lot was full and many people were coming in. The food is vegetable-centric, which was great for me. The mini burgers with lots of vegetables were healthy and delicious. I also enjoyed the bitter gourd, white sesame tofu, and tempura, which were not too bitter. The Moomoo pilaf was surprisingly tasty, like the flavor of a steak-fried pan with a little soy sauce. The desserts were cute and in small portions, allowing you to try a variety. The drinks are free-flowing until 2 pm with no time limit. Overall, I had no complaints, but I suggest adding multigrain rice or konjac rice to appeal more to female customers. It would also be nice to have konjac menu options. It's a restaurant with safe and delicious food made from fresh vegetables. If you want to avoid the lunch rush, I recommend arriving at 11 am. It's interesting to see that there are many restaurants filled with people even without reviews. Thank you for the meal!
