I went to a popular Korean izakaya called "Korean Dining Mani Popo" located in Nagahori Bridge, Osaka. This restaurant offers authentic Korean cuisine and K-POP music. Inside the restaurant, you can enjoy watching K-POP music videos and live performances on a large screen. They offer about 50 different dishes and drinks, including classic Korean dishes and original creations. Some of the dishes I tried and recommend are: - Tepe Samgyopsal (Thinly sliced pork belly for 990 yen per person): Easy to eat and delicious when grilled with kimchi, bean sprout namul, and wrapped in lettuce with green onion salad and special miso sauce. - Nakchi Pokkum (Stir-fried spicy octopus for 1180 yen): A flavorful and spicy dish that even those who don't like spicy food can enjoy. - Salmon Kimbap (Half roll for 620 yen): A roll with pickled radish, cucumber, and salmon, topped with egg yolk and sauce. The sauce complements the kimbap well. - Seafood Jeon (Half for 670 yen): A fluffy and soft pancake with delicious ingredients and a tasty tangy sauce. - Golden Chicken (Half for 640 yen): Korean-style fried chicken with juicy meat and good seasoning. They offer both full and half sizes for many dishes, allowing you to try a variety of dishes. All the dishes were delicious, and this is the best Korean restaurant I have been to recently. Highly recommended!

It is located just a short walk from Shinsaibashi. The interior is very stylish with Korean neon lights. The drinks are full of fruits and have a fizzy texture with frozen fruits inside. The Salmon Yukhoe is served in an ice cone and is delicious with the runny egg yolk. The Bulgogi has plenty of vegetables and is sweet and savory. The Seafood Pajeon is loaded with seafood and chives. The Soup Mandu is a large dumpling with a satisfying taste. The Kimbap wrapped in meat is also delicious with plenty of ingredients. The dessert Donut Balls and Hotteok have a chewy texture. The menu is extensive and all dishes are tasty with good value for money. The atmosphere of the restaurant illuminated by Korean neon lights is great, and I enjoyed authentic Korean cuisine at a leisurely pace.

I wanted to try the Tepe Samgyupsal, so I visited this modern neon-lit Korean restaurant. The atmosphere inside was like something out of a Korean drama, with many young customers and a warm vibe. The Tepe Samgyupsal was very thin, as the name suggests, like shaved wood. It was so thin that honestly, I didn't feel like I was eating much. It cost 990 yen, which I thought was cheap, but in the end, the cost performance was not that great. The restaurant seems to cater more towards young people, so the taste and overall experience were okay, fitting the image I had in mind.

Korean food hopping! For the second stop, we chose a restaurant with a nice atmosphere. I tried the Epe Samgyupsal for the first time - it was thinner than I expected, but the atmosphere and music were great! I also ordered the Croffle for dessert.

This restaurant was particularly delicious, especially the fried chicken. The Golden Chicken was light yet flavorful. The Yangnyeom Chicken had a deep taste. The Cheese Tteokgalbi was tasty but gradually became a bit heavy. The Kimbap was really delicious. The menu also offers a variety of non-alcoholic drinks, so even those who don't drink alcohol can enjoy themselves. We have decided to go with a few people next time.

We had a drinking party with a new menu hot pot for a New Year's party. I tried Nakkopse for the first time and it was delicious with a bit of spiciness. We also ordered chicken and shrimp rolls for Samgyupsal, but I was so engrossed in eating that I forgot to take photos. The Kimbap here has a taste that becomes addictive and I find myself wanting to eat it regularly. We always end up ordering a few different kinds each time, haha. Also, the Makgeolli and Chamisul were easy to drink and popular with the women.

I used it at a networking event! The atmosphere of the restaurant is trendy with fluorescent neon lights shining brightly, and K-pop music playing in the background creating a great vibe. We ordered the Choa chicken, which was juicy and delicious with the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors. However, it was disappointing that even though they knew the number of people coming for the reservation, there weren't enough baskets for our belongings, and the staff who brought them seemed bothered.

I had a reason to go near Shinsaibashi with a friend, so I visited Mani Popo for the second time. The lunch used to be buffet style, but this time they had set meal menus available! It might be only during the state of emergency, but all the menus were priced at 1,000 yen (tax included) which was a great deal. This time, I ordered the stone pot bibimbap set and meat-wrapped kimbap! It was my first time trying the meat-wrapped kimbap, and it was delicious with juicy meat and mayonnaise. Mani Popo has a wide variety of menus, so I would love to try other dishes as well!

I went to Mani Popo for the second time!! They were running a campaign where if you post about them on Instagram, you get a free bubble waffle. I had posted about them during my last visit, so I was able to get the free bubble waffle this time! I had never heard of bubble waffles before, so I was excited to try it out. It was really stylish and had a huge portion, which surprised me. I ordered the bubble waffle along with a lunch set, and ended up feeling super full! I would definitely love to visit this place again!

I had the meat-wrapped kimbap that I wanted to eat last time but couldn't because I was so full. It was delicious! The menu was not common in other restaurants, so I was curious about it. The meat wrapping made it very filling, and the sauce was really tasty! I will definitely be coming back for this dish!

My friend wanted to eat Korean food, so we searched for a restaurant and decided to visit Mani Popo, which just opened in April. The Korean-style jerk chicken cheese was delicious and addictive! There were many other voluminous menu options as well. Both my friend and I were very satisfied. The interior of the restaurant was clean and had a stylish design. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was lively.

I went to a new restaurant that just opened! It's always exciting to try out new places. I don't usually eat Korean food, but I think I might get hooked on it now! The photo is of UFO Chicken, I love the portion size and the impact it has! It's a lovely space where you can enjoy delicious food.

I went to a new Korean restaurant with my friends. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, and the staff were very kind and attentive. They had excellent COVID-19 measures in place. The menu was extensive, and my friends and I were very excited. We will definitely go back again!

When I went on a trip from Tokyo to Osaka with my friends, we came across a newly opened restaurant and decided to go in. Each table had partitions between them, and it seemed like they were taking measures against Covid-19. The partitions were quite stylish too. They had a fruit liquor made with Muscat of Alexandria from Okayama Prefecture called "Muscat Off Alexandria," which had a great Muscat aroma and tasted delicious. The "Chapchae," a Japanese-style stir-fried vegetable dish, had a nice soy sauce flavor and was also delicious. The service was quick, so it's good to order it along with your first drink. They also have other delicious dishes like fried chicken, so why not visit and try it out?

I found a Korean restaurant with a sign for UFO Chicken in a lively area with many bars and restaurants away from the main shopping street of Shinsaibashi. I decided to go in with my friends for dinner. The restaurant had a cute pink neon decor that seemed appealing to young women. We ordered the UFO Chicken, Kimbap rolls, and Bulgogi. The chicken was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked to bring out the flavor of the chicken. The Kimbap had a hint of sesame oil that made it appetizing. The Bulgogi was flavorful and paired well with rice. Everything we ordered was delicious and went well with drinks. The portions were generous, especially the UFO Chicken, so we couldn't try everything, but we all agreed we would love to come back again when we're hungry.

A shop located in Shinsaibashi, Osaka. When I visited Osaka for work, I randomly walked into this shop and it turned out to be a great find! The moment I entered the shop, I felt like I had mistakenly walked into Korea because of the authentic atmosphere. The food was also top-notch. I ordered their signature dish, "UFO Chicken," and was delighted to have a choice of 4 different sauces. Korean music videos were playing in the shop, adding to the overall experience. I left feeling visually and gastronomically satisfied!

In the area between Shinsaibashi Station and Nagahoribashi Station, which is packed with restaurants, I stumbled upon a Korean restaurant while looking for a good place for dinner. I haven't had much experience with Korean cuisine before, but the UFO Chicken looked very delicious, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant was located on the 4th floor of a building, and as I nervously rode the elevator up, I was greeted by a cute interior with neon lights and fences. There was a large screen playing music videos, creating a trendy atmosphere. The menu featured popular dishes like UFO Chicken, Tteokbokki, Kimbap, and Jjim, all clearly displayed with photos. They also had a variety of drinks, including Chamisul, which was served in small dedicated glasses, adding to the fun. I enjoyed the UFO Chicken, Jjim, and Pork Kimchi with some drinks, and they were all delicious and paired well with the alcohol. The UFO Chicken was served with melted cheese for dipping, and the chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. The combination with cheese was perfect, and the portion was generous, leaving me very satisfied. The other dishes like Jjim and Pork Kimchi were also very tasty. I was worried that the focus on style in trendy restaurants often comes at the expense of taste, but I was pleasantly surprised that all the dishes were satisfying. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making it a place I would love to visit again. The restaurant seemed popular, with several other customers dining there, so I could tell it was a hit. I will definitely be back.

I went to a lunch buffet and ate until I was full! I had trouble finding where to put the lid of the buffet, but the food was delicious and I could eat as much as I wanted. The staff were kind and quickly replenished dishes when they ran out. I want to go back again!

I was lured in by the cute sign and decided to go have lunch there. It was a buffet style lunch, which was rare, so I could eat as much as I wanted of my favorite foods. The chijimi was especially delicious. You can also make your own bibimbap in your own style, so there's no need to worry about portion sizes, especially for women. The interior was super cute and the staff were really nice, so I will definitely go again. Maybe next time I'll go in the evening!

To the newly opened Korean dining restaurant Mani Popo in Shinsaibashi! I was very curious because the sign in front of the store mentioned that it was modeled after "Itaewon Class" which I saw on my way to work. When I entered, it felt just like Korea! The attention to detail in the interior design, such as posters, neon lights, and fences, made me feel like I was on a trip. The restroom was also stylish and left a good impression! I visited for lunch on a weekday and had the buffet! It was only 1500 yen including tax (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) There were a variety of authentic dishes like chicken, kimbap, bibimbap, tteokbokki, bulgogi, pork kimchi, and korean pancake, and the cost performance was too good~~＼(^^)／ This is a must-visit for Korean lovers (*´∀｀*) The access from the station is good, and I will definitely come back, next time for dinner to enjoy some drinks♪

Recently opened Korean restaurant Manipop right by Shinsaibashi Station! Once you take the elevator up to the 4th floor of the building... it's super stylish ✨ They were playing music from Korean idol groups on a projector, and the atmosphere of the Korean cuisine was lovely~♪ On this day, they had set meals, but usually they have a lunch buffet which I'm looking forward to as well~ I ordered the fried chicken set lunch (*´∀｀*) The fried chicken had a sweet sauce on it, so even those who don't like spicy food can enjoy it♪ I was able to ask the staff for recommended dishes, so even for those new to Korean cuisine, it was easy to use~(*^^*) The lunch is a flat rate of 1000 yen, but I was able to eat to my heart's content♪ Such great value for money!
