New Hankyu Hotel, located on the basement floor, has a gourmet buffet called "Olympia." I was able to make a reservation for the 13:30 session this time. Recently, it has been quite popular, and if you don't plan ahead, it's hard to get a reservation. We arrived at the restaurant a little before the reserved time. After confirming the reservation in advance, we entered the restaurant in groups. It was the final lunch session, but there were quite a few people. It seems that many people are looking forward to it. Now, let's enter. Perhaps due to COVID, all seats were not filled for this session. There is a certain order, but the table numbers are scattered. There are tables for 2 people, 4 people, and 6 people. The food includes Western dishes such as salad and bread, Chinese dishes, a drink corner, Western dishes, desserts, and Japanese dishes. First round. I start with the steak that I was looking forward to. The steak is tender, with a strong barbecue sauce flavor. The fried rice is well cooked, the mapo tofu is pleasantly spicy. The fried chicken is crispy on the outside, but tender on the inside. Quite satisfying. Next is the Japanese dishes. The sushi is small but the ingredients are fresh, the tempura is crispy, the mixed rice with ingredients cooked in broth is delicious, the corn soup is rich. And most importantly, the vegetable side dishes. The finishing is meticulous, bringing out the simple taste of the vegetables skillfully. The balance with the broth is good, and I felt that this is what it means to bring out the best of the ingredients. Is this what they mean by "bringing out the best of the ingredients"? I noticed people eating soba noodles around me. It's at the Chinese cuisine section. There were yakisoba noodles and soba in soup. The tofu dish in soy milk makes your mouth feel light. The shrimp chili dish surprisingly had tender shrimp. There was a slight spiciness afterwards. And again, steak. This time, I compared the barbecue and ponzu sauce. However, this time, whether it was the cut of meat or because I was starting to feel full, I didn't feel the umami as much as before. Unexpectedly, there was a pasta dish. They gave me a full serving because it was the last dish. I'm happy, but this amount made me feel quite full and heavy. Maybe it was because there was rice and another penne dish as well. And dessert. The Japanese-style Mont Blanc had rice crackers in it. The combination with the saltiness was good, but this is what "Japanese-style" means. The sweet potato with wings had a mix of Japanese and Western flavors. The nut chocolate was light, and the different texture was enjoyable. The pudding Bavarois was not to my liking. Ending with the yuzu sorbet was nice. There were several items I wanted to go back for, but after eating a variety of dishes, I was too full to eat more. Some dishes made me feel that it was indeed a hotel restaurant, different from what you would eat at a regular restaurant in town. It's nice to be able to eat without worrying about the price, thanks to it being a buffet. By the way, the checkout line was crowded when leaving the restaurant. It's good to settle the bill during a short break when resting your stomach, so you don't have to wait in line on your way out.

It's been a while since I visited Olympia. Today, I had a reward lunch with my colleagues at work. We all went to a buffet (member price: 4,000 yen). Even though we made a reservation for a weekday lunch a month ago, it was still quite crowded, with the 13:30 slot being full. We enjoyed sushi, steak, tempura, sukiyaki, and dessert for two rounds. The quality of the food is much better at Hankyu's International restaurant.

I went to the lunch buffet. I heard that the large construction on Sanbangai was closed, so I went when I had some free time. Olympia is very famous so I was looking forward to it. The food was just delicious. I think the cost performance is very good. The taste is not especially delicious...? The children found it delicious, but they said the place we went to before was better. My favorite is the tempura at the JR Group's? The cake, I forgot the name, was very delicious. I want to go again in the fall.

Buffet at the hotel is nice because you can eat in a relaxed space. There are Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, as well as soft drinks and desserts, so you can eat what you like and be satisfied. The staff are also very friendly, and I had a great time. Thank you for the meal.

Olympia, the flagship buffet restaurant at the Shin-Osaka Hotel, is scheduled to close by next year. According to Hankyu Hanshin Holdings, the parent company, they plan to close about six hotels, including this flagship hotel in Umeda. The building is nearly 60 years old, and despite renovations, the aging structure and outdated interior have led to its inevitable closure. Leaving all that aside, I enjoyed the buffet today. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I went to the family-friendly event "Meat Festival - All-you-can-eat seafood as well" held from 15:30, and it was relatively empty so it was a good time to visit if you can adjust your schedule. I recommend the shrimp mayonnaise dish, which was placed on crispy fried dough, adding a nice crunchy texture. One disappointment was the sea urchin flavored mountain-style eel bowl, which was tastier without the sea urchin flavor added.

I was invited by my relatives to a buffet. Since it was a hotel buffet, the food was quite delicious. On Saturday night, many families with children were there. It might be a good choice for families with growing kids who can eat a lot. I couldn't eat much, so I felt like it was a bit wasteful. My two nephews managed to eat everything. My niece also ate a lot. It gets crowded as everyone lines up at the start time, but if you wait a bit before getting your food, there isn't much of a line at all.

I suddenly decided to make a same-day reservation. Luckily, there were a few openings for the 3:30 pm slot, so although there were quite a few customers waiting in front of the front desk, it wasn't too crowded, and we were able to enter the restaurant soon after. The dishes were all top-notch, as expected from a hotel or perhaps because it's Osaka, the seasoning was excellent. Everything was delicious. I especially liked the elegant size of the sushi. I was very satisfied with the tuna and the gizzard shad. There were many dishes that I had never seen or heard of before, which made the experience very enjoyable. I was surprised by the chocolate ball dish, but I admire the chef who turned it into a dish. If I had to pick one thing, the steak was just okay. The 90 minutes passed by quickly, but I had a great time. Thank you for the meal. It made my heart feel enriched.

I didn't have any pictures of my plate, so I usually didn't bother with breakfast at this crowded hotel. But this morning, I decided to go and woke up early, only to find a line already forming at 7:40. The restaurant had a lot of seats, so the turnover was quick, especially in the morning. I wanted to focus on vegetables since I felt like I hadn't been eating enough. They had a mix of Japanese and Western dishes, and I was a bit unsure about some items like takoyaki. The corn soup and dessert pudding were delicious, as expected from a hotel. Overall, it was a decent breakfast buffet with a good variety of options. It was worth it with breakfast included in the reservation. Now, back to the room for a nap.

We visited the Fugu Fair with a group of 7, so we aimed for fugu for lunch. The fugu was honestly just okay, but we made up for it with sushi, sashimi, and steak. The steak was a bit tough, but I personally enjoyed it. Also, the bouillabaisse was delicious, especially the soup. I wish there were more vegetables though. If they have another special menu item in the future, I would like to visit again.

I went to the gourmet buffet "Olympia" at Shin-Osaka Hotel♪ I've been there many times, but I always enjoy the food wonderland so much that I keep going back. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were open with restrictions in place. It's a shame that they will be closing in 2024 due to the hotel closure, but I hope to visit several times before then. I enjoyed all-you-can-eat meat, sushi, shrimp, fish, tempura, sweets... everything was delicious♪ This time, I ate so much that I couldn't move, it was that good. The staff at Olympia always come up with creative dishes to delight us. The presentation of all the dishes, desserts, and the market was really beautiful and delicious. This time, I had a great time enjoying the delicious food with my friends at Olympia♪ Thank you for the feast.

Happy New Year! I went to a buffet for the New Year and it was great because you can eat whatever you like without having to cook. I couldn't get a reservation easily, but I finally got one at the New Hankyu Hotel's Olympia. It's considered the best in Kansai. The price was a bit high at 8,000 yen per person, but it was worth it. They had good COVID-19 measures in place, so it wasn't crowded and the staff served the food for you. I ate a lot! The best dishes were the Peking duck and the grilled dishes. They also had sushi, steak, Chinese, Italian, bread, desserts, and more. Truly the number one in Kansai.

This was my second time at Olympia this year. This time, I went for the blowfish. I ended up ordering a lot of different dishes, and the table was quite crowded with plates! They kindly served the dishes little by little, which I appreciated. Everyone who provided the food was very kind. I would love to go back when the season changes.

Due to the impact of the coronavirus, I finally visited a restaurant that I hadn't been able to go to for a while. The style of the restaurant had changed from cooking your own dishes to having the chef serve them or having them pre-portioned on small plates. The highlight this time was the blowfish hot pot and blowfish tempura. Of course, they didn't have tiger blowfish, but the tempura was delicious. The chili hot pot was okay. The blowfish was replaced with other dishes like a pot-au-feu or a bouillabaisse-style soup, which were also very tasty. This restaurant in Osaka truly lives up to its reputation for delicious food. I especially enjoyed the Chinese-style steamed soup with shark fin and abalone. All the Chinese dishes were delicious. The sushi made by the skilled chef was also very tasty. I would love to visit again.

I had breakfast at Olympia for the first time in a while. The food is served on individual plates, so you can take what you want, and the staff also prepare fresh dishes right in front of you, which is reassuring for hygiene. You can also have seconds if you like. There is a wide variety of dishes, so I am satisfied with just one serving. They even have takoyaki. I enjoyed the mix of Japanese and Western dishes.

Today's dinner was at "Gourmet Buffet Olympia" in Osaka, a place I have been wanting to visit for a while. It was my first time there. They offer a wide variety of delicious food including Japanese, Chinese, Western, and desserts. The time limit was not enough to try everything, so I piled my plate high and enjoyed dishes like blowfish, Peking duck, and steak. Everything was delicious. I ended the meal with some sweets. I was really full by the end. I definitely want to come back again.

On Thursday holiday, a few minutes before the 6:30 opening, about 10 groups had already gathered in the breakfast venue. It was a buffet style, but due to COVID-19 measures, the food was pre-portioned on small plates, which made the variety seem limited. I had omelette, curry, takoyaki, etc. Overall, it was a normal dining experience.

I wonder how long the hotel buffet, which everyone in Osaka knows about, has been around. I vaguely remember going there when I was little, maybe about 20 years ago. I revisited after all these years and found that the menu is extensive and the time limits help reduce waiting stress. The menu consists of classic dishes and the taste is suitable for families with children.

I saw it on TV and felt like going, so I made a reservation for 11:30 and ended up being about 15 minutes late. The restaurant was very strict about the reservation time, with announcements made at 13:00 and 15 minutes before 13:00. The staff serve all the dishes, so the presentation is beautiful. However, I couldn't serve myself a little bit, which was disappointing for someone like me who wants to try a variety of dishes. I ate a lot this time, trying all the different dishes repeatedly. The autumn menu was not extensive, with only a few items like chestnut rice. The daikon tempura was delicious, like tempura made from daikon mochi. The Szechuan mapo tofu was also very tasty. Unfortunately, as a pregnant woman, I couldn't eat raw food. The person I went with who ate sushi said it was fresh and delicious. The Western cuisine section had partitions that blocked communication, making it difficult to place orders. I hope they improve this. The staff at the Chinese cuisine section were friendly and accommodating. The Mont Blanc dessert, which was delicious last time, was disappointing this time as it was a salted Mont Blanc with less chestnut flavor. I love Mont Blanc, so I hope they bring back the original version. The wide variety of dishes was a positive aspect of the experience.

I visited using the Osaka Welcome Campaign. They offer a variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, as well as sweets, but all of them have a buffet-style reminiscent of a Showa-era hotel, which I don't particularly enjoy. The restroom facilities are also old and seem quite outdated compared to the rest of the world.

I made a reservation for lunch on a regular day and visited. They are currently hosting a summer power charge event with all-you-can-eat meat and eel. The menu was delicious! ・Grilled shrimp with mayonnaise: The lightly grilled shrimp with mayonnaise sauce was delicious. ・Roast beef: The tender roast beef paired well with the rich wasabi butter sauce. ・Lamb and vegetable tomato stew: I was surprised by how tender the lamb was, as I had never eaten it before. Other items included kohada sushi, raw shrimp sushi, and grilled conger eel, providing a diverse lineup. It was a bit disappointing that there was only one type of eel, a mini eel bowl that seemed stewed rather than grilled. There were plenty of desserts to enjoy until the end, and I left feeling satisfied with a full stomach.
