This time, I visited "Mandan Tsuruhashi Store". It is a popular authentic Korean restaurant that also appeared in the popular manga "Oishinbo". They have a clean and smoke-free atmosphere. The food includes Samgyeopsal and Korean hot pot. The prices are reasonable. The specialty of this restaurant is the high-quality pork used for Samgyeopsal. They use domestically produced "beauty hot spring pork" which has a perfect balance of texture, sweetness, and freshness. The staff takes good care of the meat so you can enjoy it in the best condition. Once you try it, you won't want to go back to frozen meat. The dessert, sweet potato ice cream, is also delicious. Overall, I spent around 4000 yen for the following menu items: Samgyeopsal, Beauty Hot Spring Pork Belly, Napa Cabbage Kimchi, Tomato Kimchi, Fresh Lotus Root, Top Mino Ponzu, Sweet Potato Ice Cream, and Highball. Additional meat costs 980 yen, which is very reasonable. In a neighborhood filled with neon Korean restaurants, this place stands out for its focus on taste. Highly recommended. Thank you and goodbye!

The popular manga "Oishinbo," which has been featured in many media outlets, also features "authentic Korean cuisine." I heard from a knowledgeable acquaintance that the Samgyupsal here is incredibly delicious, so I decided to visit the restaurant. I arrived around 19:00, and the restaurant was packed. Walk-in customers were being turned away, so reservations are a must. Despite being full, the restaurant has a convenient layout tailored to different needs, including a stylish counter, casual and lively tables, and spacious private rooms for relaxed dining. On this day, I was seated at the counter and ordered the following items: - Squid Carpaccio: Surprisingly stylish presentation, with a perfect balance of squid's pleasant texture, refreshing jelly, and the exquisite blend of spiciness and acidity in the Cho-jang sauce. Absolutely delicious. - Upper Mino Ponzu: Another dish with an irresistible texture that was incredibly tasty. - Cheese Tteokbokki: The sinful combination of melty cheese and chewy tteokbokki was irresistible. - Cheese Kaelan Chim: A visually stunning dish with a generous amount of cheese, offering a fluffy and soothing taste that was so delicious it brought tears to my eyes. - Kagoshima Prefecture's Bijin Buta Samgyupsal: Thick cuts of pork are served to fully experience the sweetness and umami of the meat. Grilled generously, cut with scissors, wrapped in lettuce, and devoured in an instant. Incredibly delicious. - Tomato Cold Noodles: A whole tomato presented prominently, providing a refreshing and light taste when cut. The smooth noodles and the overall refreshing experience were simply delightful. To sum it up, the service was excellent, the food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the fact that the restaurant is always full makes perfect sense for such a fantastic place. If you want to enjoy authentic Korean cuisine, I highly recommend this place. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I had my usual Samgyupsal, half seafood jjim, intestines, and cold noodles. They were all incredibly delicious, but the cold noodles, as recommended, were outstanding. However, I feel like the prices have gone up recently, so the cost performance seems worse than before. Next time, I would like to try the Chugmisamgyupsal.

I went to a Korean tour in Tsuruhashi with my friends. There are many shops selling Korean ingredients and goods in the Tsuruhashi area. We bought kimchi, Korean seaweed, and beauty packs. We returned to the station area and had dinner. The three of us, girls, wanted to eat a variety of Korean dishes rather than just going to a yakiniku restaurant. We had kimchi, steamed pork, pig's feet, Korean-style chawanmushi, and many more dishes. The steamed pork was delicious and tender, something I can't make at home. The pig's feet were also good. We tried two types of jjimmy, steamed dishes: one with yam and the other with seafood. The yam jjimmy was fluffy and the seafood jjimmy was full of ingredients. The seared liver was beautifully presented and cooked on a hot plate. It's a must-try for liver lovers. We also had grilled oysters, which were creamy inside. For dessert, we had stone pot bibimbap, a classic dish. It was delicious. If you're looking for Korean cuisine instead of yakiniku, this is the perfect place to go.

I visited a Samgyeopsal course. The all-you-can-drink menu includes highballs and makgeolli with homemade syrup. Before the samgyeopsal, there were chapchae and namul. You have to cut the samgyeopsal yourself. There are plenty of side dishes, so it's satisfying. There are also kimbap and desserts, so I left feeling very full. I was sad when the store in Shinsaibashi closed, but the Tsuruhashi store is also nice and has many female customers. Next time, I want to try a different course.

It was delicious. Despite being busy during Golden Week, the staff were friendly and efficient. The shabu-shabu yakiniku was delicious, and the half-size chijimi was just right for two people. The restaurant was clean (contrary to the oily image I had of Korean restaurants), and the presentation was beautiful, making it a great choice for beginners to Korean cuisine.

I had Samgyeopsal for the first time in a while. It was very busy on Friday night, but we managed to get a counter seat without a reservation. We ordered raw intestines, salted gizzard, half seafood pancake, and two servings of Samgyeopsal (from Kagoshima prefecture). Everything was delicious, but the Samgyeopsal and cold noodles were especially tasty. The staff seemed quite busy, but they were all very friendly.

Having a meal with my junior colleague and his wife. As the year-end approaches, I start craving for Ganjang Gejang, so I asked my junior colleague to make a reservation for us, and he chose a restaurant called "Madaan". On the way to the restaurant, my junior colleague sent me a message on social media saying, "We can't get crabs, so we can't have Ganjang Gejang. But we can have Ganjang-style shrimp. What do you think?" I couldn't refuse at that point, so we decided to go with that option. The restaurant was very clean, and more than 90% of the customers were young people. We ordered from the menu placed on the table. We tried the Ganjang-style shrimp called "Ganjang Seujang", where large raw shrimp were soaked in Korean-style soy sauce. We peeled the shrimp with our hands and savored it. It was delicious. I finished both servings (2 shrimp per serving) in no time. Later, I learned that "Ganjang" means soy sauce in Korean. Interesting. We also ordered seafood pancake and Kimbap. The Kimchi, which I love, came in a luxurious assortment of 9 types. Initially, we ordered 2 sets, but the staff recommended us to start with 1 set, but we ended up adding more as 1 set was not enough for 4 people. For the main dish, we had "Pulnatchichongol", a hot pot with meat, intestines, and octopus. It was a Korean-style hot pot, so it was bright red with chili peppers, but surprisingly the broth was mild. Even though I'm not a fan of vegetables, I enjoyed it. Lastly, we had the classic cold noodles. It was a clean white color, but it didn't leave a strong impression. We ordered raw rice wine, which was served in a ceramic vessel and shared with a ladle. It had been a while since I had rice wine, and it was delicious. Since we didn't have Ganjang Gejang, the total cost was around 6,000 yen per person, which was half of our budget. My junior colleague bought Ganjang Gejang from a nearby shop near Tsuruhashi Station and gave it to me. He is so considerate, and I'm grateful.

※This is a memo. It is a personal record of when, where, what was eaten, and drank. Orders (for 2 people): ■Draft beer (medium) 550 yen ■Bottled beer (medium) 660 yen ■Plain sour 528 yen ■Mega Highball x5 (around 990 yen) ■Madan's iron plate hot pot x2 1848 yen ■Madan cold noodles (regular) 968 yen ■Raw beef intestine 858 yen ■Kimchi assortment 682 yen ■Bean sprout namul 418 yen Searched for Korean cuisine near Tsuruhashi Station and found this restaurant, so we visited. Although it was a bit far from the station, the iron plate hot pot was sweet and spicy, and the cold noodles were delicious. The drinks were served in small glasses, so it's better to book a course with all-you-can-drink for better value.

This place is not outstanding in any particular way, but it offers tasty dishes with a good balance, easy to eat, and in a clean and sanitary environment. It has been popular for a long time. Today, I had lotus root kimchi, yangnyeom chicken, freshwater eel, and also some pancakes. The hormone hotpot and samgyeopsal are also delicious.

I made a reservation for a later dinner time as the early slots were already full. The restaurant was very crowded and the staff seemed busy, indicating that it's a very popular place. I was surprised at how quickly the 5 dishes I ordered were served. The table was soon filled with delicious food, and the Yannam Chicken tasted just like the one I had in Korea. The Senil Cake was not as sweet as I expected, making it easy to eat. There are many other menu items that I'm curious about, so I would like to come back again.

The voluminous and main dish-worthy specialty of Madan's iron plate hot pot. You can eat as many Kimpa pieces as you want. It's delicious with the sesame oil flavor. The beef tendon and green onion pancake. Combining the slowly simmered beef tendon with the pancake is a perfect match. Cold noodles are a perfect way to finish the meal. The smooth and chewy noodles are delicious. The presentation is also beautiful. The dessert was also impressive with its presentation.

I ordered without hesitation, the ☆Royal Samgyupsal☆ and ☆Choa Chicken☆. Both were my first time trying them, and the samgyupsal pork is raised drinking hot springs without ever being frozen, which made it delicious and flavorful. The Choa Chicken allowed me to choose my favorite chicken flavor and enjoy it with hot, melty cheese. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also great, allowing me to relax and enjoy my meal until the end.

I heard that there is a shop that appears in the manga "Oishinbo," so I came to visit! It's a Korean restaurant. The interior is spacious and has a calm atmosphere. There are tables and tatami mats, both with plenty of space between neighboring seats. The cushions are cute. Drinks: - Peach Makgeolli: Served in a Makgeolli vessel, it's delightful! It's slightly pink, cute, and has a slightly sweet and delicious taste. - JJ Jasmine Soju with Jasmine Tea: This is so delicious, so if you go, be sure to try it! It's very refreshing! The jasmine flavor is really prominent in this! Food: - Gyeranjjim: Korean steamed egg dish, similar to Japanese chawanmushi but a bit firmer, like a rolled omelet. The eggs are fluffy, and it contains finely chopped ingredients. - Choa Chicken: Fried chicken dipped generously in cheese. The cheese pot looks amazing, and the cheese itself is delicious! It's a mix of natural cheese, cheddar cheese, and butter, and it stretches beautifully! The chicken has a crispy outer skin, and the seasoning on it is all delicious, which pairs well with the cheese. You can choose from four flavors: garlic soy sauce, yangnyeom, honey mustard, and butter soy sauce. It's hard to choose the best one, but my personal recommendation would be butter soy sauce and honey mustard. Also, the cheese gets crispy and caramelized as you eat, and it's incredibly delicious when you spoon it over the chicken. The portion is for two people, but if two people eat this, they will be almost full, so be careful. - Korean Naengmyeon: A simple cold noodle dish with clear noodles and a refreshing soup with a hint of dashi and kimchi flavor. It's really delicious! Highly recommended! I couldn't try the Samgyetang that I was curious about because I was already full, but I definitely want to try it next time I visit.

The Kimpa has a great satisfying texture. I will definitely order this. There are a lot of menu options but the iron plate hot pot is voluminous and perfect as a main dish. I also love the Chapchae here. I thought it would be spicy, but the sweet seasoning is to my liking. The special spicy kimchi with clams is delicious and I can't stop eating it. The alcohol goes down so smoothly. The crunchy cucumber kimchi is irresistible. The dessert is also beautifully presented, which makes me really happy as a woman.

When someone told me that Tsuruhashi is like the Shin-Okubo of Kansai, I decided to visit this Korean restaurant during my business trip. Despite being a bit far from the station, the place was almost full even on a weekday. I ordered the Samgyupsal course, which included kimchi, namul, and japchae. The flavors were different from what I usually have, and I couldn't help but be impressed. The main dish, Samgyupsal, was delicious, especially when eaten with egg and kimchi. I also enjoyed Yangnyeom chicken, chijimi, and kimbap with chamisul. I added some yukhoe and was completely satisfied with the meal. The restaurant seemed popular, with couples, high school girls, ladies' groups, and office workers coming and going. The staff were friendly, making the dining experience enjoyable. There are many Korean restaurants in the area, but I'm glad I chose this one. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

When I went on a business trip to Osaka, I visited this restaurant for the first time with my colleague. Although there is a Korean town in front of Tsuruhashi Station with many Korean restaurants, we found a good restaurant a little further away from the station. The conclusion is, "This was a good choice!" The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was nice. We enjoyed the popular Samgyeopsal course and Chamisul. We were a bit confused about how to cook the Samgyeopsal, but the staff noticed and kindly taught us. We definitely want to come back again!

Korean Kitchen Madan Tsuruhashi Main Store is a popular Korean restaurant in Osaka! With reasonable prices and four locations in Osaka (Tsuruhashi, Umeda, Suita, and Higashi Osaka), you can easily enjoy Korean cuisine here. Their signature dish is Choa Chicken (order starts from 2 servings) with 12 flavors to choose from. The hot pot keeps the chicken piping hot, and the juicy chicken with melted cheese is a must-try. Another recommended dish is Kelanchim, a Korean-style steamed egg dish that is both fluffy and delicious. The Pork Kalbi Tare Yaki is also a favorite, with tender pork kalbi and a sweet sauce that bursts in your mouth. Don't forget to try their Kimchi platter and various flavors of Jounde (Korean shochu). Overall, the food was delicious and satisfying. Thank you for the meal!

Delicious!!! I was surprised to find such a delicious restaurant in Tsuruhashi!! There were many celebrity signatures, and it is a famous restaurant even featured in the manga "Oishinbo". Today's recommendation included a special dish that even Koreans know about! I discovered a unique dish that was hard to come by, which got me really excited. The soup with diced cob croaker had a perfect balance of sourness, spiciness, and richness. It was my first time trying it and I loved it! It seems like a great match for those who enjoy drinking alcohol. I definitely want to try it again. Overall, all the dishes were delicious and suited my taste.

Korean hot pot that's not too spicy, with lots of vegetables. The fluffy steamed egg dish, Keran-chim, was delicious. I tried it for the first time. I love the sweet flavor of Chapchae. The fluffy rice cake dipped in savory broth, Danchimi, was also great. The generous portion of Kimpa was satisfying. The dessert was also stylish and tasty. The prices are reasonable, and the spacious restaurant allows you to enjoy your meal leisurely.

The main branch of a Korean cuisine izakaya restaurant, Choachikin, offers a dish called Choachikin which comes in two variations of cheese or different levels of spiciness, making it a dish that doesn't get boring even after eating 8 pieces. On this day, the recommended Kanjangkejan (pickled blue crab) was incredibly delicious and fresh. The restaurant was bustling with young female customers, and I was able to rediscover the wonderfulness of Korean gourmet food.
