I often use Shangri-La for lunch when I want to relax or have lunch with older people. Today, I had lunch with two people in their 70s and 80s. They both ordered the Triple Lunch, while I had the Hamburger Lunch. The main dish is ordered separately, but everything else is buffet style. I ended up taking too much food, worried that I wouldn't be able to eat the main dish. But despite overeating a bit, we enjoyed a leisurely 2-hour lunch. It's a great deal to be able to eat a lot of your favorite foods at a relaxed pace.

Sakura Afternoon Tea at Delicious Kitchen EMONDEL on the 2nd floor of Tokyu REI Hotel in Shin-Osaka Esaka is a limited-time experience from March 3rd to March 26th. The theme is "cherry blossoms," with a variety of tea foods inspired by the flavor and motif of cherry blossoms. From the welcome drink to sweets and savories, it's a cherry blossom-filled afternoon tea experience. The welcome drink is the Sakura SAKU Soda, a refreshing pink drink with real cherry blossom flowers floating in it. The menu, illustrated by the chef, guides you through the delightful dishes, enhancing your dining experience. The Gâteau Fromage Chou à la SAKURA is a creamy delight with a hint of cherry blossom flavor. The verrine with sweet sake jelly and cherry blossom jelly is a perfect blend of Japanese and Western flavors. The assortment includes cherry blossom macarons, spring cookies, and more. The cherry blossom roll cake is a beautiful pink and green contrast, and the cherry blossom scones are topped with cherry blossom petals and large sugar crystals. The savory items, such as the quiche with bamboo shoots and bacon, and the cherry blossom manju, are equally delicious. The tea selection includes a variety of teas that pair well with the cherry blossom theme. The honey black tea from Lakshimi is a personal favorite, and the option for unlimited drink refills adds to the value of the experience. If you want to enjoy an early cherry blossom viewing experience, Delicious Kitchen EMONDEL is a convenient and cost-effective choice.

Visited the restaurant at Tokyu REI Hotel with my family. The interior was very clean, and we had the lunch half-buffet. (You can use the buffet if you order one dish) Children under 3 years old can use the buffet for free. Pork shoulder sauté... The pork shoulder was as big as a tennis ball, tender, and the sauce was made from onions and paprika from Osaka. It was delicious. Buffet... As shown in the photo, there was pork miso soup, corn soup, curry rice, salad, fruits, dessert, and a drink bar. It was satisfying and as a buffet lover, I was happy. I would like to come back again.

On Saturday in Osaka, we had a fixed main course hotel lunch with a buffet for everything else. They have parking with a parking ticket service. The three of us ordered steak, hamburger (2200 yen), and sakura crab cream croquette spaghetti (2250 yen). The hamburger was popular, but it had a bit too much bread crumbs. There were a lot of staff in the dining hall, which was nice. It felt like a luxurious lunch on a Saturday.

- Ordered item: Grilled Chicken for 1,500 yen - Food: Half buffet style. The cost performance is really good, and it's nice that you can eat slowly for 90 minutes. The price varies depending on the menu, but the Grilled Chicken is enough. There are various types of bread, desserts like pineapple and fruits, as well as sweets like roll cakes and cream puffs. Considering that drinks are included, the cost performance is good. The Onion Curry is surprisingly delicious, so a refill is a must! A valuable buffet restaurant in this area. - Atmosphere: It's really nice that it's not crowded. Is it not well known around here?

There is a restaurant on the 2nd floor of the REI Hotel in front of Esaka Station. It is a spacious restaurant with plenty of seating, including semi-private rooms. From the autumn grill fair menu, I tried the half buffet style lunch with roasted autumn salmon topped with walnut butter. The buffet included soup, salad, onion curry, bread, and dessert. The main dish was a generous portion of salmon with a herb-scented sauce containing chopped walnuts, topped with forest mushroom chasseur sauce. It was a taste of autumn. The side dish included several types of fried potatoes. Some people were also enjoying afternoon tea. Currently, they are offering menus where you can enjoy autumn flavors and Halloween menus.

Late post. Had lunch. I was so indecisive looking at the menu! I wanted to try everything, so I decided on a menu with a variety of items (forgot the name). It came with a half buffet, and they have thorough infection prevention measures in place. There's a salad, bread, drink, and soup bar. I filled up at the bar while waiting. Lunch arrived! The hamburgers, curry, quiche, and pinchos all looked delicious! They're cute sizes so I think I can eat them all! The taste was delicious for everything, especially the quiche which was my favorite! Next time, I want to try the steak! Repeat decision! Thank you for the meal!

New Osaka Esaka Tokyu REI Hotel 2F. It's an interesting place with Tokyu Hands on the 1st floor and Fashion Center Shimamura on the 3rd floor. Cash, card, and Rakuten Pay are accepted. Rakuten Card points are given. The mask case service was also appreciated. I took a half day off for personal reasons. I had a free 3-hour window and decided to make a reservation online in advance. It's a 2-hour time slot. Weekday, 3:00 PM. Towards the end of the afternoon tea time. The restaurant had over 100 seats and the interior was nicely divided by glass and walls, creating almost private spaces. I felt like there were about 3 other groups of customers besides us. I reserved the Strawberry Afternoon Tea Set for 3,800 yen. You could have up to 2 pots of tea, and coffee was all-you-can-drink. The stand had the following items: 《Top Tier》 - Tiramisu in a plant pot with strawberries - Strawberry pound cake with a macaron - Melon bread with strawberries and yogurt sauce - Smiling strawberry on a salt cookie - Icing cookie shaped like a strawberry 《Middle Tier》 - Baked fresh strawberries - Panna cotta with strawberries and hibiscus scent - Scones with dried strawberries - Strawberry jam 《Bottom Tier》 - Sandwich with strawberries, ham, and cream cheese - Truffle-flavored fried potatoes - Pickles and olive marinated pinchos - Pork rillettes crepe with strawberry decoration Three items stood out to me. First, the tiramisu in the plant pot. It was cute and delicious with the mascarpone and sauce added with a syringe. Then, the salt cookie. The texture of the cookie, sweet custard, and smiling strawberry were all finely crafted. Lastly, the sandwich. The beet-colored bread with thinly sliced strawberries, ham, and cream cheese was surprisingly not sweet but a solid snack. The truffle potatoes were freshly fried, the scones and jam were warm, and the panna cotta was vibrant with hibiscus. Although I wished the tea was loose leaf and noticed the lack of Mimolette cheese, I would like to check out their seasonal menu changes in the future. Thank you for the feast!

I visited the restaurant at Tokyu REI Hotel in Esaka for the first time. It was a half-buffet style, where you choose a main dish. I ordered the hamburger (2,500 yen including tax), while my companion ordered the double main burger set (2,800 yen including tax). The burger set does not come with buffet. It is served with a consommé sauce filled with flavors of mushrooms, beets, and ginger. The hamburger was not what I expected, so I regret not reading the menu description carefully. The salad bar and desserts in the buffet were enjoyable. The only thing that bothered me was that the rice, although good quality, seemed undercooked rather than having a firm texture. If I have the chance to visit again, I might try the curry. Thank you for the meal.

Visited for lunch on a Saturday using the Goto Eat campaign. Temperature checks and disinfection at the entrance, then escorted to our table. They take good measures against COVID-19, such as wearing masks and vinyl gloves when getting food. Many families with children were present. As for the food, it was tasty for the price. The highlight seems to be the sirloin steak, but it was a bit tough and imported from abroad. Ponzu and salt & pepper were provided. It's a shame they didn't have steak sauce. At 1,650 yen (with 500 points back the following month), I think it's a good deal.

I used the hotel for a year-end company party. I won a restaurant gift certificate in the raffle! Today, I had a day off, so I decided to go for dinner. If you make a reservation by 3 pm, you get a serving of beef Rossini for each person! So I made a reservation with excitement... They prepared a sparkling wine for the toast and the dinner was buffet style! The sirloin steak was ordered separately and served at the table. Although the group was a bit noisy, the overall atmosphere was calm and I was able to enjoy my meal. I will definitely go back again!

Today I got permission to stay outside the hospital and went out for a meal! (But let's keep the eating out part a secret from the hospital) However, a huge typhoon, Typhoon No. 19, is approaching! (>﹏<｡三 ｡>﹏<) I'm scared~! I left the hospital around noon to be picked up by my daughters. The wind is a bit strong and it's raining due to the typhoon. Now, where should we have lunch? Oh, I remember, how about trying the hotel buffet at the Tokyu Inn Hotel in Esaka called "Shangri-La" that I've been to before. To my surprise, my wife, who doesn't usually like buffets, had no objections for some reason. We arrived at the restaurant 10 minutes before opening time. The restaurant has recently been renovated and the name has changed to "Emoindel." On Saturdays, they offer a lunch buffet for adults for 1650 yen and for elementary school students for 880 yen. We were the first ones there and quickly went to check out the dishes. The main dishes included steak cooked in front of you, prawn and mushroom, stir-fried pork and cabbage, pork cutlet, curry, red fish, gnocchi, pasta, salad bar with fresh vegetables, fruits (pineapple, lychee), bread (croissant and others), soup, miso soup, rice, desserts (mini rolls, mini cakes), chocolate fountain, ice cream. I ate a lot! I even tried the desserts at the buffet, which I don't usually eat. My wife was satisfied with lychee, and surprisingly, she was also satisfied with the sweets! Of course, I, the sweet tooth, was very satisfied with the feast after a long time! The food outside is really delicious, right? However, as expected, I was scolded by the hospital for gaining weight during the weigh-in on Monday. The end. Good luck to you all! _(._.)_ ヘンヘン ===========

Stayed at Tokyu Inn and had a luxurious breakfast at the hotel. The hotel's restaurant Shangri-La was under renovation, so breakfast was served in the banquet hall. It was spacious and luxurious. There were not many inbound guests that day, so I heard English (presumably from an Indian group), Chinese, and Japanese being spoken. The most prominent language I heard was Japanese. I ended up eating a bit too much because of various options available. The breakfast buffet at the hotel was quite extensive. Personally, I didn't enjoy the coffee and the scrambled eggs were just okay, which was surprising. The homemade tofu was warm and not something you usually see at a breakfast buffet, but it was delicious. Since I rarely stay at hotels, this breakfast left a very positive impression. Thank you for the meal.

Lunch buffet for 1,250 yen, but with a discount coupon it was 1,125 yen this time. You can choose one main dish with a salad bar. The steak was cooked to a medium doneness. It felt like a restaurant in a hotel. In addition to the salad, there were various desserts, making it a great value for the price.

I made a reservation for lunch at 12:00 two days in advance, and arrived a little early around 11:40 on the day. Despite arriving early, I was smoothly seated and ready to enjoy my lunch. I chose the steak half buffet today. While enjoying the salad, bread, and soup, the steak arrived. It had a nice grill mark and the 200g portion was satisfying. I finished it off with bread and olive oil. I leisurely enjoyed a 1.5-hour lunch. I will revisit for afternoon tea next time. Thank you very much.

Near Esaka Station, there is a restaurant in the Tokyu REI Hotel. The interior is bright and spacious, with comfortable sofa seats. The service was polite, although some staff seemed inexperienced. It is rare to find a restaurant that accepts GoToEat for solo lunches, but this one does and you can earn 520 points. Although there were reviews mentioning a buffet, there was no buffet during my visit. I ordered the Triple Set for 2000 yen, which included Japanese steak, salmon tartare, foie gras daikon, mimosa salad, yogurt soup, rice, dessert, and a drink bar. The steak was tender and served with mashed potatoes and saffron rice, which were delicious. The foie gras daikon was excellent, especially the soup. The salmon tartare was decent. The dessert selection was good with three options. When using the drink bar, be aware that you need to add a lot of ice when making iced coffee for the button to respond, as it recognizes weight.

This is a restaurant on the 2nd floor of the Tokyu REI Hotel in Esaka, which was recently renovated. Formerly known as Shangri-la, it was known for its affordable buffet, and even as EMONDEL, it still offers great value for money! I visited around 1 pm on a Saturday and it was very busy, with all seats taken. There isn't a particular dish that stands out as a must-try, but where else can you find a lunch buffet in Esaka on weekends and holidays for 1,650 yen (tax included) with a selection of high-quality fish, meat, vegetables, pasta, and desserts in a hotel restaurant? The overall quality is impressive. The price for elementary school students is 880 yen (tax included), making it a welcoming place for families. The staff are attentive and they have thorough COVID-19 measures in place, so you can visit with peace of mind. It may have been due to the full house, but I felt that the food replenishment was a bit slow. However, if you talk to the staff, they will prepare it for you right away, so it's not a problem. The large windows let in sunlight, and the newly furnished sofas and tables create a very nice atmosphere. I will definitely visit again.

I often use this restaurant that I love. However, this time, despite making a reservation, it took a long time to confirm, and the staff forgot to take my temperature. When asked about the soup, I ordered a cold one but received onion soup. Although it was delicious, I felt a sense of distrust in the service. It's very disappointing because this is not something that usually happens. Nevertheless, the food is always delicious and the cost performance is good, so I definitely want to use this restaurant again. Thank you for the meal.

I enjoyed a leisurely lunch at a spacious restaurant. I could choose between bread or rice as my main dish, and pumpkin soup or miso soup. Dessert and a drink bar were included. It was nice to be able to choose side dishes as well. They also took thorough measures against infectious diseases, so I felt safe eating there. They provided children's chairs and tableware as well.
