Hello! I was invited by my friend in Yao city. We had Makgeolli and Samgyeopsal, which was a new experience for me to grill at the table. The side dishes like Jjigae, Kimchi, and condiments were all perfect. The menu is extensive, ranging from individual dishes to hot pot options. We finished with cold noodles. I wonder how many bottles of Makgeolli we drank haha. The service was friendly and welcoming, typical of Minami. The second floor seating is spacious and perfect for gatherings. Thank you for the meal. Goodbye!

I went to Rakukando UrNamba store in Namba, Osaka. I used to visit their store in Shinsaibashi before, so I decided to check out this new location. The first floor has a counter and the second floor has tables. I was seated on the second floor this time. Orders are made using QR codes, which show pictures of each dish for easy selection. I ordered the cold noodles, seafood pancake, seafood sundubu, and hormone hot pot. We were served a small appetizer first. The seafood sundubu arrived after about 15 minutes, followed by the hormone hot pot after another 15-minute wait. Despite being the only customers, the food took quite a while to arrive. The seafood sundubu came in a small ceramic dish, with a smaller portion than expected. The hormone hot pot was quite delicious, with just the right amount of spiciness. We ordered porridge as a closer, which seemed to be made in the kitchen. The cold noodles were not as tasty as the ones in their Shinsaibashi store, lacking in chilliness. The seafood pancake was not as crispy as expected, with a thick texture. I had high hopes after enjoying the food in Shinsaibashi, but was slightly disappointed this time. Thank you for the meal.

【Order】Octopus, springy glass noodles.【Usage】This time, I visited with my friends! The atmosphere with the best staff in the restaurant was great. The deliciousness of the food was also outstanding.【Interior Environment】The turnover rate is impeccable, but I would like the tables and such to be arranged a bit more carefully...【Possibility of revisiting】80%! This restaurant is a must-visit. For those who are having trouble finding a restaurant in this area, be sure to come here!! I will visit again and enjoy the menu items I didn't order this time.

Got some takoyaki-shaped nachos, which were funny because they had a whole octopus inside (lol). It was a bit difficult to eat but delicious with shrimp, hormones, and transparent thick noodles in a spicy sauce. Also tried the fluffy and crispy mentaiko cheese balls, which were tasty with a good amount of mentaiko inside. There was a 10% off coupon for reservations made before 6 pm, but it wasn't applied at all. It would be nice if they paid more attention to these details. The food was delicious though.

After leaving Rakukando's Shinsaibashi store, I headed to their Uranamba store @luckando_uranamba and achieved the unexpected hat trick of visiting all their stores in one night! How did this happen? (laughs) Here, I tried the newly renovated "mandu." The visual has changed from before, and you can now feel the meatiness of the minced meat even more. It was such a fun night hopping between Rakukando stores with the shop owner, Mr. Konishi. Thank you for accompanying me, it was delicious. Thank you for the feast.

Today I came here at the request of a friend. This place is called "Ura Namba", but it feels more like Nipponbashi (laughs). The area seems to be expanding. There are tables outside the restaurant as well. With the upcoming season, dining outside might be nice. Inside, we sat at a small table by the right wall. There was a welcome card on the table. My friend had already arrived and was already enjoying a drink (laughs). They had ordered a kimchi assortment and seafood pancake for us. The pancake was so delicious! It was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. We also ordered beef tataki, grilled prawns, and stir-fried octopus as additional dishes. The grilled prawns were amazing. For dessert, we had hotteok with ice cream. The combination was unexpectedly delicious. The hotteok was crispy on the outside and the ice cream paired perfectly. We also tried Chamisul grape soju for the first time, and it was tasty. Despite being high in calories, I would love to come back here again! Thank you for the meal.

At the end of last year, we chose this place for a year-end party. Despite the state of emergency, they boldly advertised alcohol provision on social media. I wanted to have a year-end party with Korean cuisine, so I made a reservation in advance for this popular restaurant. We chose the Hormone Hot Pot Course with a 100-minute all-you-can-drink option for 4,356 yen including tax. The course included four types of kimchi, rare steak in yukhoe style, yangnyeom chicken, seafood jeon, hormone hot pot, and a dessert. The dishes were quite good, especially the sweet and savory hormone hot pot and the fluffy jeon. The staff were lively and fun, making it an enjoyable year-end party. This place gave off a good vibe, similar to the restaurant in front of Rakugando that we often used for competitive matches. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The food at both the Shinsaibashi and Ura-Namba locations is consistently delicious. I prefer the Ura-Namba location because it is newer and more spacious. We ordered a variety of dishes for three people, and everything was delicious. The quality of the meat was excellent, with the hormone stir-fry being tender and the tataki being very tasty. The sashimi was also incredibly delicious. Every time we visit, there are tables ordering hot pot, and it looks so delicious that I want to try it next time. Ordering a variety of dishes a la carte can add up in cost, but the food is so delicious that it's hard to resist. I highly recommend the moist and flavorful bossam dish.

When you feel like drinking late at night, head to Rakukando. They are open late, which is great. The cheerful staff will welcome you. Cheers with some makgeolli! You can enjoy delicious Korean food even late at night. The chijimi is tasty! I forgot to take a photo... The bossam is also delicious. Nom nom. This is the perfect place to drink and have fun with friends. Rakukando is the perfect late-night spot. Thank you for the meal! It's worth a visit. Nom nom.

I made a reservation for the terrace at this time of year and visited. I thought they only had Korean food, but they also had dishes like beef tongue sashimi and beef tataki. I ordered beef tongue sashimi, beef tataki, Korean steamed egg, japchae, Korean dumplings, and more. I wanted to try more dishes, but I was too full to do so. The staff's service was friendly and pleasant. Thank you for the meal.

It's a chaotic era, so I want to savor the happiness of eating delicious food. "Rakukando" is a Korean restaurant located in the area known as Ura Namba, which has expanded to include places like Otaku Road in Nihonbashi. The restaurant is new and clean, with lovely female staff. The first floor has a counter and the second floor has table seats. The drink menu includes items like fresh Makgeolli for 480 yen, various Chamisul for 980 yen, and fruit wine for 580 yen. The food menu offers items like Kimchi assortment for 750 yen, Seafood Pancake for 780 yen, Mandu (Korean-style dumplings) for 550 yen, Bulgogi for 1080 yen, and Samgyeopsal (pork belly) for 1380 yen. The atmosphere is enjoyable for both young people and older folks. It's a great space to have Makgeolli and have a good time!

Seafood stew course with 100 minutes all-you-can-drink for 4960 yen. Includes: 4 types of kimchi, green onion and salt steamed chicken salad, rare beef steak tartare, steamed pork kimchi, seafood pancake, spicy seafood stew, choice of egg drop soup or Korean chewy noodles, draft beer, makgeolli, peach makgeolli, chamisul soju, soju highball, and more.

"Rakkan-do Ura Nanba Branch" is a Korean restaurant where you can enjoy classic Korean dishes, trendy food, and drinks with a seasonal touch. The master, born in Osaka's Tsuruhashi area, opened the Shinsaibashi branch in 2002 with the goal of serving delicious Korean cuisine. The master personally visits Koreatown every day to source fresh and delicious ingredients. They also travel to Busan every year to learn about authentic Korean cuisine and incorporate the roots and trends into their menu. I tried Samgyeopsal, Yangnyeom Chicken, Seafood Jjigae, Kimbap, Bean Sprout Namul, and Rare Steak Yukhoe-style, and they were all incredibly delicious. Among them, the Seafood Jjigae was crispy and delicious. I highly recommend the Yuzu Calpis drink. I definitely want to visit this restaurant again."

I visited a Korean izakaya in Ura Namba to meet up with a friend. My friend was close with the manager, so we were able to visit. Since I had already eaten quite a bit, we only ordered Chapchae and Korean-style steamed egg. Both dishes were delicious, and the Chapchae had a soup-like texture that was also tasty. I also ordered Kimbap to go, which I ate the next day and it was quite delicious. I will visit again to try more dishes at a leisurely pace. Thank you for the meal.

Hello, tonight I visited "Rakukando" in Ura-Namba for the 6th time. The main seating is at the counter downstairs, with plenty of tables on the second floor. I was a little tipsy, so I made a light order of spicy yaccho and kupa. The spicy yaccho was really spicy! The kupa was comforting and delicious. Drinking makgeolli and toasting is a common practice in Korean cuisine. Thank you for the meal.

It is located about a 3-4 minute walk south from exit 5 of Nihonbashi Station. When you enter the shop, there are 6 counter seats on the 1st floor and 2 two-person table seats, with additional seating on the 2nd floor. We started with a plain chu-hai for a toast. The appetizer was steamed chicken. The drinks we had were as follows: Strong carbonated highball, Micho (Korean rice wine), Muscat raw rice wine, and a glass. The dishes we enjoyed were: Chanja - cod stomach with a crunchy texture and a spicy sesame oil flavor, Yangnyeom kalbi (Korean-style fried scallops) topped with shredded chili peppers and green onions, Mandu - Korean-style grilled dumplings with a crispy and chewy skin filled with a flavorful meat and vegetable filling, and finally, we had a stone bowl bibimbap as a finale. The bibimbap contained bean sprouts, spinach, fern bracken namul, napa cabbage kimchi, radish, and egg yolk with chopped seaweed sprinkled on top. Served in a hot stone pot, you mix in the gochujang sauce for a spicy and flavorful finish. The combination of spicy flavors and the crispy rice crust was a satisfying end to the meal. I look forward to returning for more drinks and food. Thank you for the delicious meal.

A popular restaurant in Shinsaibashi has opened a new branch in Ura-Namba!! It was the second day and the place was almost full, bustling with customers. Since it was my second stop of the night, I chose a dish that seemed to have a smaller portion... The style is more catered towards groups with many Korean dishes on the menu. The layout of the restaurant is more suited for individual customers on the first floor, so it would be nice if they had some menu options with smaller portions and lower prices. Dining alone might end up being a bit pricey. The taste is mild and even those who don't like spicy food should find it easy to eat. The quality of the food is high and delicious. The service is fantastic!! The staff will engage in conversation with you even if you are dining alone, so you won't get bored. However, as mentioned earlier, the restaurant is more geared towards groups dining together, so it's best to go with at least two people. It seems like they have a good image with their location and atmosphere.

It's a casual restaurant that seems to be a hidden gem, serving dishes that are easy on the Japanese palate. Don't expect authentic Korean cuisine, but it's a fun place to enjoy Korean dishes with friends. The variety of alcohol is limited, but they have a good selection of Makgeolli.

The cozy atmosphere inside the restaurant was interesting and nice. There were many menu options that I wanted to try, but this time I only tried a few. I would like to come back again!

The staff, despite being young, were very attentive. The food was also very delicious. If I had to say something negative, the portable gas stove for the hot pot was a bit dirty. However, I have no complaints about the taste of the food or the price.

Thank you for opening during the COVID-19 pandemic. I will definitely visit again when I come back to Osaka.
