As the situation with the coronavirus begins to calm down and we enter the rainy season, I decided to relieve the stress of self-isolation by having a girls' night out in Umeda after a long time. While strolling through the Tenjinbashisuji shopping street, I came across this restaurant!! Located right next to "Naniwa Hitokuchi Gyoza Chao Chao" in the arcade on the south side, there is a staircase leading downstairs. It seems to have recently opened and offers the best cost performance for a Korean bar. Since both of us love Korean cuisine, we decided to make this our first stop of the night. We arrived before 6 pm and there were only about 2-3 groups inside, so we were smoothly guided to a table. We started with a toast with a beer for 380 yen, which is perfect for the hot and humid weather. While enjoying the cucumber appetizer, we ordered the recommended menu items: - Kimchi Assortment (480 yen): Authentic kimchi that was just right in terms of acidity. - Cheese Potato Balls (480 yen): A must-try for cheese lovers! When you break it, the cheese stretches out, and the taste is pure cheese! - Melty Cheese Kimbap (650 yen): Bite-sized and easy to eat, with the cheese stretching out when lifted. - Chamisul (Muscat) (1,200 yen): A Korean shochu that is sweet and easy to drink. - Aged Pork Samgyeopsal (1,120 yen): Served with various seasonings, it was incredibly delicious when wrapped in lettuce. - Sundubu Jjigae (680 yen): A new menu recommended by the staff, sweet and spicy with gochujang. - Makgeolli Glass (350 yen): A must-have with Korean cuisine, easy to drink and enjoyable. - Okoge Chicken (4 pieces for 480 yen): Juicy and crispy, with two flavors to choose from. - Keranjjim (450 yen): A fluffy and flavorful dish, perfect for the last course. The staff were very kind and accommodating to our requests. The atmosphere was great, with many groups of women enjoying their girls' night out. The restaurant was almost full even on a rainy weekday, with a mix of men and women. The cute dishes were a popular subject for smartphone photos. With reasonable prices, a variety of easy-to-drink alcohol options, and movable table seats, this restaurant is recommended for both girls' nights out and mixed gatherings. They also have private rooms, making it suitable for dates as well. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I saw it on TikTok and thought it looked delicious, so I decided to visit. I love Korean food. Each dish seemed a bit small in portion, but it was delicious. The fruit sour drink was Instagrammable and cute. It was packed with fruit.

I came to the incredibly delicious Korean restaurant, OKOGE. What I had: - Samgyupsal - Yukhoe-style rare steak (880 yen) - Homemade cheese balls (780 yen) - Sudachi cold noodles (880 yen) - Adult potato salad (380 yen) - Long Yukhoe sushi half size (1100 yen) - Mentaiko mochi cheese chijimi (780 yen) - Keran chim (580 yen) Honestly, it was amazing. Each dish was of high quality and I felt extremely satisfied. The samgyupsal was tender and delicious, the cheese balls were chewy and perfectly seasoned, and the Keran chim was fluffy and incredibly tasty. The Yukhoe steak was the best I've ever had, and the chijimi had a great texture and paired perfectly with the sauce. If you love Korean food and haven't been here, you should definitely go now. The service and food quality are outstanding, and I will definitely be coming back.

Umeda, OKOGE✨ A Korean izakaya located near Umeda Higashi Street. I visited with friends on a Monday night. Despite it being around 8 pm on a Monday, the restaurant was full. We ordered: - Chukumi Samgyeopsal (1800 yen x 2) - Yukke-style rare steak (880 yen) - Cheese Kimbap (780 yen) - Half portion of Yukke Sushi (1200 yen) - Keranjjim (580 yen) - Soft tofu stew (880 yen) - Cream cheese jjangajji (580 yen) - Avocado slices (380 yen) - Korean seaweed (150 yen). Some highlights: ● Chukumi Samgyeopsal: Octopus and vegetables cooked in a sauce, mixed with thick-cut pork and eaten with lettuce. It was surprisingly delicious and not as heavy as regular samgyeopsal. ● Yukke-style rare steak: Very tender meat with no odor, similar to yukke. It was also delicious. ● Cheese Kimbap: Seaweed rolls with melty cheese inside. A unique and tasty dish. ● Half portion of Yukke Sushi: We opted for the half portion, which was still quite filling with 5 pieces. The meat used is the same as yukke, making it a good choice for those who prefer it over sushi. ● Keranjjim: Korean steamed egg dish with cheese inside. It had a fluffy texture and was delicious. Overall, we ordered a la carte, but they also offer all-you-can-eat and drink courses, which may be more cost-effective. The restaurant has a chic interior with various seating options, including private rooms. The staff was friendly and provided good service. It's a great place for company gatherings or personal parties.

I went to this restaurant because it was a hot topic on SNS! I had no idea where it was, but it was underground so I was surprised. I went without a reservation and arrived right at the opening time of 12:00. I had to wait a bit to confirm my seat, but then I was seated right away. They operate on a one drink per person system, just like a typical bar. While many places offer all-you-can-eat for lunch, I decided to order individual items. The cheese kimbap, which is said to be very popular, was a bit small but the cheese was stretchy and it was the most delicious! The cheese balls were sprinkled with powdered sugar so they were sweet, but they were also crispy with the cheese stretching. I also ordered the chumokbap, which was recommended by the staff. It was a Korean-style rice ball that I mixed and rolled myself. The crunchy texture of the pickled radish and flying fish roe was amazing and delicious. The chicken was very crispy and consistently delicious. This was my first time at a Korean restaurant, so I would like to try other places in the future! I want to try various dishes.

Make a reservation and visit. This shop is so popular that you can't get in without a reservation. - Cheese Kimpa 780: The stretchy cheese and sauce blend well and taste delicious. Be sure to eat it quickly before the cheese hardens. - Chicken Plain 780: I forgot to take a photo, but the chicken was crispy. It was a normal taste. - Avocado Chorogi Salad 680: The portion was quite generous, and the Korean seaweed and chorogi matched well. The avocado was soft and tasty. - Mentaiko Mochi Cheese Jeon 780: I ordered this later, but it took about 30 minutes to come out. The portion was relatively small, but the combination of mochi and mentaiko was amazing. It was hot, crispy, and delicious. * I ordered alcohol for drinks. Thank you for the meal.

I searched for a Korean bar in the East Umeda area because I wanted to eat Samgyupsal around Umeda, and this place came up with a lot of mysterious Google reviews, so I visited. I made a reservation and went on a Sunday evening, but that day was fully booked and seemed to be popular among young people, so I recommend making a reservation before going. By the way, the operation is decent for the price. You order by scanning a QR code with your smartphone. The octopus tempura came mysteriously with 2 pieces, but I definitely didn't order more than one. Even with the all-you-can-eat and drink option, some items on the menu are not included, so popular items like beer, Chamisul, Yukhoe, Kimbap, and Galchi are subject to additional charges, so be sure to check before ordering. The thickly sliced pork belly for Samgyupsal is more satisfying than the thinly sliced one, so I recommend it. You can only order one item per person for the last order, so if there's something you want to eat, make sure to order it before the last call. The most delicious dish was the onion fry, haha. The seafood pancake was also delicious. Be careful because additional charges will be applied if you leave food uneaten. We didn't leave any food uneaten, so we were fine, but the couple next to us, probably on their first date, was charged. If you don't mind the noise, I recommend it to you. Definitely give it a try! ✌️⭐️ All-you-can-eat and drink for 2 hours with Samgyupsal (140 items in total) for 3,850 yen per person + drink all-you-can for an additional 550 yen per person. - Thickly sliced pork belly - Thinly sliced pork belly - 1 Kimchi - Kanjang Salmon - Avocado slices - Onion fry - Octopus tempura - Seafood pancake - Orange sherbet

I went to OKOGE Umeda Ohatsu Tenjin store in Osaka Umeda to eat Choachicken. The restaurant is located on the Ohatsu Tenjin street and has a dark interior with K-POP music playing. I ordered the Choachicken for 1680 yen, which was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, especially delicious when dipped in melted cheese. You can choose from 8 flavors such as Yangnyeom, Basil, Honey Mustard, Curry, Cheese Powder, Garlic Soy Sauce, and Jalapeno Mayo. The restaurant also offers hot pot dishes and samgyeopsal. The smell of Korean food is appetizing, but be prepared for it to stick to your clothes.

Visited a Korean restaurant "OKOGE" near Higashi-Umeda Station at the request of my partner. We called ahead to reserve a table, so we sat down and first ordered drinks. Then we proceeded to order our dishes. We ordered stone pot bibimbap, sweet and spicy tteokbokki, japchae, yangnyeom chicken, and crispy cheese jeon. The standout dish was definitely the crispy cheese jeon, with a rich cheese flavor and a crispy exterior, reminiscent of pizza. The stone pot bibimbap was not too spicy and had a delicious blend of various ingredients, including Chinese yam. The other dishes were also tasty, but the serving times were quite inconsistent. Some dishes arrived 10 minutes after others, and it took almost 5 minutes for water to be served, although the next round of water came quickly. Additionally, the restaurant was quite noisy with loud background music, making it less than ideal for those looking for a calm dining experience. Overall, it was a good meal.

A Korean restaurant near Omi Tenjin. They offer all-you-can-eat options for Samgyupsal and Choa Chicken, but we ordered dishes separately. - Yangnyeom Chicken (Yangnyeom and Honey Mustard): Crispy and delicious, with a mild level of spiciness. - Seafood Jeon: Crispy and fluffy, very good. - Chamchi Kimbap: Simple rolled kimbap with tuna on top. - Chicken Moo: A refreshing dish that cleanses the palate. I realized later that it would have been more cost-effective to order the "Okoge Chicken Set" if we were going to eat this much.

A Korean dining restaurant with a traditional name near Osaka Station. Must-try dishes include Cheese Kalbi Chim and a 50cm long Yukhoe Sushi, both visually impressive and delicious. They also offer hot pot dishes and all-you-can-drink options, making it a great spot for dining with a large group.

I wanted to eat the cute Okoge Chicken Set at the Korean bar Okoge in Umeda, so I visited the restaurant. - Okoge Chicken Set / 3000 yen - Raw Yukke Sushi (half) / 980 yen - Pork Kimchi Jjigae / 580 yen I heard that they also opened a new store in Higashi-dori Shotengai. When I posted this Okoge Chicken Set on Instagram, it got over 2000 saves (lol). It seems like they have captured the hearts of Korean cuisine lovers (*ﾟーﾟ*). Plus, you can eat and drink for about 2500 yen per person and get really full, so the cost performance is good♡ There are also other popular menu items like Samgyeopsal and Cheese Dakgalbi, and everything was delicious＾＾

This is my second time^ ^ The cheese kimbap is delicious and highly recommended! I like that you can choose from various chicken flavors. The menu is diverse, so I think both spicy lovers and those who are not good with spicy food will enjoy it. I want to go again!

Cheese Kimbap, Handmade Cheese Balls, Avocado Chorogi Salad, Tataki Cucumber, Seafood Jeon, and Special Cold Noodles were all delicious, but the best was the limited edition Cheese Kimbap♡ You can also enjoy various Korean dishes like Samgyeopsal and Dakgalbi. Due to its popularity, reservations are required! Thank you for the meal ☺️

Umeda Station, 3 minutes walk from Higashi Umeda Station! The best cost performance Korean bar with unlimited eating and drinking for about 3,000 yen, including delicious dishes like Samgyeopsal, Choa Chicken Cheese Dakgalbi, and Putechige! The cost performance is amazing! They also have private rooms, perfect for dates or girls' night out. They provide alcohol disinfection and temperature checks at the entrance... very thorough COVID-19 measures! The 50cm long Yukhoe sushi was so delicious, I've only seen it in Korea before but they have it here too! The stretchy cheese balls were also amazing, so Instagrammable! Definitely coming back!!!

I was able to make a reservation smoothly and visited the restaurant. I was seated at the counter. I was surprised by how close I was to the person next to me, especially considering the current situation with COVID-19. There was no partition between us, and we were only about 30 centimeters apart. I wanted to enjoy my meal, but I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. I thought it would be better to have more distance between customers at the counter. I ordered the all-you-can-eat Korean fried chicken. It was a weekday, but the restaurant was crowded. It was a 2-hour time limit, but it took a long time for the food to come out, and by the time it did, I was already full and couldn't eat much. It was a bit disappointing. However, the taste was really delicious! The individual dishes also looked tasty, so I would like to visit again.

Friday night was full of reserved customers. You can have as many cheese balls as you want.

Had a great time with friends, it was lively and fun! Not really suitable for a date. The food was delicious as usual. It was crowded even though it was a weekday. Many people were doing the all-you-can-drink option, so the service was a bit slow. However, all the staff were nice. Ordering was done through adding the restaurant on LINE from your phone, which caused a moment of confusion. It would be better if they had touch screen ordering. Overall, we enjoyed the all-you-can-eat experience and left feeling extremely full!

I went to the OKOGE restaurant for lunch at the Otenjin branch. I think 3800 yen is expensive for all-you-can-eat Korean food, even with chicken included. I didn't even have time to look at the menu before I was quickly explained the all-you-can-eat menu and had to order. I wanted to confirm the price before ordering because I went with friends who are students, but I didn't even have time to see the price of the all-you-can-eat menu. The price for the all-you-can-eat was also displayed very small and hard to see on the menu.

If you want to eat Korean food with great cost-performance, I recommend this place! It's seriously delicious ☺️ All-you-can-drink alcohol for 3800 yen!
