I used the all-you-can-eat lunch option. I had all four types of cream puffs for dessert. As a sweet tooth, I was very happy ☺️☺️☺️

Finally, I was able to experience an all-you-can-eat buffet that I've been wanting to try for a long time (´；ω；｀). This time, I made a reservation and it went smoothly on the day. There was only one female staff member, and she provided incredibly polite service, which really impressed me (´；ω；｀). The all-you-can-eat barbecue was delicious without any complaints. If I had to point out something, it would be the kitchen staff this time... Even though I was dining alone, the salad tongs for serving were just in the way (lol). This review might seem like I'm nitpicking because the service was too good this time (￣▽￣;). Just as I finished eating, it was approaching the peak lunchtime, and I was surprised to see that the extremely polite female staff member was the only one handling the hall!?! Was it just a coincidence??? It's unimaginable for a major chain restaurant to have only one person managing the hall during peak lunch hours. Especially in an area like Umeda with many foreign tourists. It seemed like the foreign customers were struggling as the staff couldn't communicate with them. Since there are tablet orders at each table, couldn't they utilize more languages on the tablets? The meat was delicious, the staff was extremely polite, and the prices were reasonable, so I would like to visit again♪

I had been wanting to go for a while, so I stopped by on my way back from the Kyoto Railway Museum. I ordered the set meal with beef tongue, and thoroughly enjoyed the greatness of the express lane and the deliciousness of the yakiniku. The Wamim Calbi and beef tongue were especially delicious, and the tomato kimchi was also exceptionally tasty. I was satisfied with the reasonable price and generous portion. I would like to go back to eat again as a monthly luxury.

I went during the Obon period, but I was able to get a reservation even at the last minute. I thought it would take a while for the food to arrive after ordering, so I ordered a lot at first, but it arrived quickly and the table was full (lol). The staff's service was very good, the food was served quickly, there were many types of alcohol, the meat was delicious for the price, so I felt it was a good deal. However, I felt that there were few vegetables such as sliced tomatoes, so I wished there were more cold dishes other than salad.

I went for lunch. I was dining alone, so I was seated at the counter. They had a touch panel for ordering. I wanted to have the all-you-can-eat option, but I couldn't find it on the menu, so I ended up ordering the set meal with the most meat. It was called "jar pickles," but there was no pickling at all. It was just meat in a jar with sauce poured over it, and about half of it was chicken. The taste was average. A group of guys came in later, and the female staff who served me took care of them. I found out later that for the all-you-can-eat option, you need to inform the staff first, and then you can order through the touch panel. They also should have told me where the drink bar was, but they didn't, so I had some trouble finding it. The system is good, but the service and the meat quality... If they had just served the meat as regular meat with sauce, I would have been satisfied, but serving unpickled meat in a jar was really disappointing. Anyway, I like this kind of place, and now that I understand how to order for the all-you-can-eat option, I want to try it next time and have my revenge! LOL

I used this restaurant for a post-event party. I was surprised that I could use it without much help from the staff, as I had never used any of their affiliated stores before. I ordered meat using a touch panel, and it came down the lane. The same goes for alcohol and drinks, so even when the restaurant was busy, the serving time didn't change much. Thanks to ordering the best course, I had a delicious and very good time.

Yakiniku restaurant Wamim Umeda Chayamachi branch offers high-quality and delicious meat, especially the Kalbi and Harami are excellent and reasonably priced. The system of ordering dishes through a conveyor belt was fun. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and perfect for dining with friends and family. However, there might be long waiting times without a reservation, so it is recommended to book in advance. Highly recommended for meat lovers! :)

There is a chain restaurant style yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) establishment located on the upper floor of a mixed-use building just across the road from Hankyu Umeda Station, Chayamachi exit. The interior has tables with a conveyor belt system for delivering items, similar to a revolving sushi restaurant. This time, we opted for a course meal instead of all-you-can-eat. The drink option was unlimited consumption of zero-carb SPB beer, which is quite appealing with yakiniku. The quality of the meat is decent enough for the price. The A5 wagyu beef was quite fatty, but that is to be expected given the price. The table-side grilling robot also adds to the fun experience. The cold noodles served at the end were also good, and overall, considering the price, I think it was a good choice to visit this place.

I just wrote about the "Yakiniku Custom" one-coin Kalbi lunch, but here I am again with another one-coin Kalbi lunch deal. This time it's at "Yakiniku no Wamim Umeda Chayamachi Store" in Osaka, Umeda. You order using a touch panel and the food is brought to you on a fast lane. I have pointed out issues with this setup before. From the 16th to the 18th, for 3 days only, the regular 968 yen Watami Kalbi set is now only 500 yen. So, Watami Kalbi set ===========

The reason I exceeded my average budget is because I ordered too much, haha. There are no menu photos, so I can't give an exact amount, but the yakiniku (grilled meat) is reasonably priced at 429 yen per plate. You order using a touch panel and the food is brought to you on a conveyor belt like at a sushi restaurant. The restaurant has reduced the need for human labor quite a bit. Additionally, a robot handles plate cleanup. The robot moves around the restaurant and asks customers if they have any plates to take away. It was surprising that the staff didn't have to do this. The seating is mainly in booth style, with some individual seats at the counter. This setup makes it easy for solo diners to visit. The food was delicious, although I definitely overate.

On this day, I had some errands in Umeda. For lunch, we decided to try this restaurant where all grilled meats are only 390 yen each. We entered the restaurant almost right after it opened. The layout inside was similar to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. We were seated at a table for four and ordered our meats using a tablet device. The ordered meats arrived on a "bullet train" style conveyor belt, and we grilled them ourselves. We ordered: - Grilled green onion salted beef tongue: Good value for the price. - Japanese beef ribs (limited quantity of Sendai beef A5 rank): Fatty but tender and delicious. - Watami beef ribs: More quantity compared to Sendai beef, but slightly lower in quality. - Diced skirt steak: Tender and flavorful. - Napa cabbage kimchi: Not the best for a grilled meat restaurant. - Thick-cut domestic beef liver: Beautiful color, no strong smell, and delicious. - Bonchiri sauce: Not traditional bonchiri beef, but tender and tasty. The empty plates were collected by a robot. We ended up paying around 1,500 yen per person, which was affordable for us compared to all-you-can-eat options. This kind of restaurant is becoming more common, and I would like to try others in the future. Thank you for the meal.

Great value for money at only 390 yen per item. Ordered kalbi, harami, beef tongue, bibimbap, and cold noodles. Even with two people filling up on all these dishes, the total bill stays under 3000 yen, making it very cost-effective. The thick-cut tongue has an amazing texture. Though there's a similar place nearby, Kamimura Bokujou, I sometimes prefer coming here even if it's farther away. The menu has been updated and become more appealing.

Yakiniku goes well with beer, and although they no longer offer all-you-can-eat options due to the presence of mega jugs, the individual menu items are delicious and reasonably priced. The harami was especially tasty, and the fresh kimchi was crunchy and complemented the alcohol well. The dishes are delivered quickly, similar to ordering at a revolving sushi restaurant, and they promptly change the grills for you.

First time trying Yakiniku at Wamim! A shift from izakaya to yakiniku? I visited to see what kind of place it is. Not knowing what to recommend, I ordered a mixed platter and compared it with A5-ranked meat. The touch panel is convenient as we can handle things at our own pace without waiting for the staff. (For the all-you-can-eat option, you need to call the staff first) At first, the meat was delicious! But when I tried to grill the A5 wagyu kalbi, the grill wasn't hot enough, and it turned out mushy... tears. I ate the tongue, harami, loin, and kalbi from the mixed platter for a while, and then tried the A5 kalbi in between. There was a difference in taste, but... hmm. In short, I recommend ordering both yakiniku and izakaya menu items. It felt like it wasn't 100% a yakiniku restaurant, more like a mix of yakiniku and izakaya. They have a wide variety of izakaya menu items, so maybe they are not focusing solely on the meat? If you can enjoy both aspects, it's nice (^^) A must-try dish for me is the nori kuppah! If I can come just to eat this, I'd like to visit this place more often. Thinking about how the quality of the meat may change in the future. This time, I give it 3 stars. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again (*^^*)

Yakiniku restaurant affiliated with the popular chain "Wadamisaki" in front of Umeda Station. Choose between ordering individual items or opting for the all-you-can-eat menu. Orders are placed using a touch panel and delivered to your table on a conveyor belt. This time, I chose the most expensive all-you-can-eat course, which allows you to order A5-ranked domestic wagyu beef, thick-cut steak, and beef tongue. In addition to barbecue options, there is also a wide selection of izakaya-style dishes. The all-you-can-eat time limit is 90 minutes. While alcoholic beverages are available for individual purchase, soft drinks are only available through the drink bar. Desserts are all-you-can-order, but they are simple and lack options like parfaits or creative dishes. It's unclear who the target audience is, but if it's women, I think they should focus more on desserts. As for the meat, I ordered a variety of A5-ranked wagyu beef, but none of them were particularly delicious. I have doubts about whether they are truly domestic A5-ranked beef. Conversely, the cheaper all-you-can-eat courses had more tender and juicy meat, and there were instances where unordered items were delivered. I felt that the 90-minute all-you-can-eat time limit was short and believe that 120 minutes is necessary. This is especially true for women and families with children, as they may find the time insufficient. Lastly, an unreasonable amount was displayed on the touch panel for the bill. When I asked the staff, they explained that I had not selected the all-you-can-eat menu. Considering the possibility of confusion, especially for elderly or intoxicated individuals, I recommend paying close attention to the payment process. It's a relief that it didn't turn into a situation like the "Bokkuribar" infiltration video on YouTube. With various issues and the main point of the meat not being delicious, I find it unlikely that I will revisit this restaurant.

Located right near Osaka Umeda Station, at the Chayamachi exit. I thought it might be impossible to make a reservation for a Friday, but I was able to book on the same day, so I made a reservation for 6:00 pm and went. I went with my mother on our way back from a date in Kyoto. It was great that they offer a senior discount for those aged 65 and above! We ordered the 110-item Kalbi course at WaMinn, with 100 minutes of all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink soft drinks. The Harami steak and Dragon Kalbi were a great deal and very good. I thought the quality of the meat was better than other yakiniku chain restaurants. Being a WaMinn, they also have a wide variety of izakaya side dishes to enjoy. The thick-cut Kalbi was tender and juicy, but not too heavy. Thank you for the meal!

Following Namba, Chayamachi also underwent a change in business format, so I was taken there by someone. It is a dining building just outside Chayamachi exit of Hankyu Umeda, on the north side of a pachinko parlor. In these times, big restaurants are empty. The course is basically 80 minutes with last order, and the seats are for 100 minutes. We chose the middle course, the "Watami Kalbi Course" (although it had a different name at the time). Since I don't drink alcohol, those who do had to order separately, but we could all use the drink bar. We ate and drank for less than 5,000 yen. Among the all-you-can-eat options, Watami Kalbi is a popular choice. The quality of the meat is not exceptional, but it's decent for an all-you-can-eat place. The service was good, with friendly greetings and a sincere effort, leaving a positive impression. Although we didn't experience it that day, the "Robotic Table" for lowering dishes seems like something kids would enjoy. However, if the meal pace is slow, the 80-minute time limit might be a bit tight. In Osaka, the key to success for this business format is whether it can compete with One Kalbi (Aburiya) in terms of cost performance. In that sense, the nationally acclaimed Gyu-Kaku by Watami Corporation may be in the same league. While izakayas are struggling, it remains to be seen if Watami can make a comeback. This is a restaurant worth keeping an eye on in the future.

It was a busy night even though it was a regular weekday. The restaurant was spacious with plenty of seating. Orders were placed using a touch panel and the food was brought to the table on a conveyor belt. I wasn't expecting much, but both the meat and side dishes were delicious. Especially the Wadakin Kalbi and the stone-grilled garlic rice. The barbecue sauce was quite sweet, so it may vary depending on personal preference. There was also red pepper paste and garlic on the table. The location was convenient and the prices were reasonable, so I would like to go again. Thank you for the meal!

After indulging in plenty of food and drink, the yakiniku was delicious! The price was reasonable and I was very satisfied. I even went for seconds of the thick beef tongue. Thank you for the feast. I will definitely visit again.

I went to a restaurant that offers all-you-can-eat wagyu for 3980 yen. I ordered the wagyu buffet and the all-you-can-drink light option. The restaurant is newly opened and very clean. The seating is arranged in a way that even solo diners can feel comfortable. I ordered the wagyu and it looked similar to what I've seen on TikTok, with a rich color. The taste was overshadowed by the marinade, but the meat was tender overall. Some pieces were tougher than others, possibly due to processing. The thin slices of wagyu surprisingly had a chewy texture. The quality of the buffet was as expected, nothing exceptional. The drink options were a bit disappointing, as the cocktail I ordered turned out to be made with a different kind of orange juice. Overall, I would recommend this place for lunch, as the atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly. I probably won't visit again.

Due to the impact of the coronavirus, the izakaya industry has been struggling, leading to a shift towards yakiniku. This time, I ordered the enthusiastic Kazoku course from Nekkyo Izakaya, which is all-you-can-eat for 100 minutes (last order 20 minutes before the end). What I ate included: pork tongue, pork loin, harami (skirt steak), rice topped with chanja (mixed vegetables), egg soup, squid foil grill, baby scallops and enoki mushrooms foil grill, watami kalbi, harami mountain (harami steak), cold noodles, and more including kimchi. Each dish was solid and satisfactory, and as an average person, I found them delicious enough. There were also plenty of side menu options, adding to the enjoyment of all-you-can-eat. I believe it offers a quality equivalent to the famous yakiniku all-you-can-eat restaurant Wan Karubi in Kansai. It's great that it's located right in front of the station. There are also counter seats, making it enjoyable for solo diners as well. With drink all-you-can-eat plans available, it seems suitable for groups of 1 to 4 people. The infection prevention measures, cost reduction through automation like the conveyor belt system and plate collection robot, and entertainment elements are impressive. It truly feels like a company with expertise. I hope they continue to provide delicious meat in abundance while bidding farewell to black labor practices.
