Let's have some chilled Chinese noodles after a long time. Osaka Ohsho offers chilled Chinese noodles at selected stores. It would be nice if they offered it at all stores. It's crowded in Dotonbori, so I went to the main Osaka Ohsho store. The restaurant is not very busy. I ordered chilled Chinese noodles for 790 yen. It took a long time for the food to arrive, maybe the second floor is crowded. The dish arrived with cucumber, shredded egg, jellyfish, ham, bean sprouts, etc. The way it was served seemed a bit strange, with the noodles visible underneath. Isn't it normal to evenly distribute the toppings? Since it's Osaka, there was no mayonnaise included. I thought about asking for mayonnaise, but the staff were not very friendly, so I didn't say anything. The noodles were firm and similar to the noodles I had in chilled tantanmen at another Osaka Ohsho before. ★I have a blog "Eating to Live" at https://pochi12345.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-13981.html

I went to an all-you-can-eat dumpling restaurant (о´∀`о) I had been wanting to eat a lot of dumplings for a while, so I decided to go there that day ✨ For only 600 yen, you can eat dumplings for 30 minutes! I think this is amazing! I enjoyed many dumplings while drinking a bottle of Premium Malt. I asked the staff and they said that the all-you-can-eat option depends on the stock of dumplings, so it may not be available at times. It's a good idea to call and confirm before visiting.

Restaurant: Osaka Osho Location: Namba, Osaka This Dotonbori branch is the only one in the country that offers all-you-can-eat gyoza for only 600 yen!

It is Dotonbori in Namba, Osaka, famous for its huge billboards. The restaurant Kuidaore Taro is also working hard. As usual, the giant gyoza is the signboard of Osaka Ohsho. It was empty, maybe because of the time of day. I sit at the counter. There is water and a glass. The limited-time menu at Osaka Ohsho has many silly items, but this time it's a traditional one. It's the Meaty Luce Niira Tamago Tenshinhan. It's my favorite Tenshinhan, but the only drawback is... there's no meat! This issue is resolved by adding the Meaty Luce. It's a great menu. The deadline is approaching, so I rush. I'm also tempted by the restaurant's original "30-minute Gyoza All-You-Can-Eat for 600 yen." It's a very cost-effective menu where if you eat three servings of 240 yen gyoza, you'll break even. I stick to my original plan, sit at the counter, and order the Meaty Luce Niira Tamago Tenshinhan for 750 yen. Of course, I also ask for a free extra-large rice service. Here it comes. The Meaty Luce Niira Tamago Tenshinhan with soup set. It's topped with plenty of thinly sliced pork covered in brown sauce. The soup is thick, so it stays hot for a long time. The Meaty Luce Niira Tamago Tenshinhan is just the right seasoning for the extra-large rice, so it might be too strong if it were regular rice. A group of young guys sitting next to me ordered the Gyoza All-You-Can-Eat. I watch with interest as two servings of gyoza arrive and the timer starts only when all of them are ready. ★ Blog "Living to Eat" is available at https://pochi12345.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-12725.html

I wanted to try the original King Shao restaurant in Osaka, so I went there! The first floor was a bit crowded, but they guided me to the second floor where I had a spacious seat and could relax. I had high expectations for the gyoza, but I was a bit disappointed. It seemed like there was too little filling or meat. However, the ramen and fried rice were delicious with the authentic flavors of a Chinese restaurant!

After leaving Ue Honmachi, we headed to Namba. We wandered around looking at various shops and before we knew it, it was already night. We tried to have dinner at a few kushikatsu places, but they all had long lines. Oh well, since the options were limited, we got permission from my wife and went back to Osaka Ohsho... We had gyoza with draft beer. For the finale, we decided to have ramen. We ordered the Spicy Negi-Doro Miso Ramen that caught our eye on the menu. After a short wait, it was served. The soup was not as thick as the name suggests, but it had a slightly viscous texture. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for this, but the miso flavor was strong and left a lasting taste. The minced meat was coarsely ground and chunky. The actual ramen had less green onions than what was shown in the picture on the menu... so it was a bit of false advertising? (laughs) This ramen seems to be a limited edition only available at the Dotonbori main store.

I was drawn in by the signboard outside the store advertising "Red Tempura Mayo Sauce Yakisoba," so I decided to stop by. It was lunchtime and the counter was almost full, so I sat at a small table for two in the back. The Red Tempura was just as delicious as I had hoped, with its simple flavor. Even during my trip to Okinawa, my go-to snack is always the Red Tempura. The portion of motsu (offal) was quite generous, providing a satisfying chewiness. One downside of Osaka Ohsho is that the plates are small. I had to be careful when picking up the plate, as the precious Red Tempura on top almost spilled onto the table. I was quite hungry, so I also ordered garlic fried rice, but the yakisoba alone filled me up. Thank you for the meal.

When it comes to Osho, Kyoto's Osho is what comes to mind, but in recent years, Osaka Osho has become popular with its hit frozen dumplings. Although we are "Osaka" Osho, we can't help but cheer for them. While Osho is known for its dumplings, as someone who has been eating there for nearly 40 years (a few times a year), I can say that Osaka Osho's ramen dishes are on par with local ramen specialty shops. That being said, today I ordered the shrimp chili set and sweet and sour pork with extra rice.

I tried the garlic fried rice because it seemed to be available. When I asked if I could have the garlic fried rice instead of the regular fried rice in the dumpling set, I was told it was not possible. So, I ended up ordering the garlic fried rice and stir-fried leeks and liver separately. I am used to the taste of Gyoza no Ohsho, but I found the taste here to be more robust and delicious. If this place were closer, I would definitely come here more often. The garlic fried rice didn't have a strong garlic flavor, though...

When I went to Osaka, I had to go to Osaka Ohsho for their gyoza. This time I only had gyoza, but it tasted even better than before! I don't know if it's just me, but I was seriously impressed. Anjiro is said to be the best gyoza in Osaka, and it was the best gyoza I've ever had. I wish they would open one in Nagoya too, because places like Gifu and Chiryu are too far away.

I stopped by for lunch before work (I was originally planning to go to a different restaurant, but changed my mind after looking at the menu and realizing it was more of a lunch spot). This must be the main branch, but it's quite small (the products on the table almost spill over). Maybe they're trying to keep the original feel from the past? I ordered the gyoza and fried rice set, and while the fried rice had good flavor, I felt like the gyoza was lacking compared to Gyoza no Ohsho. I paid 975 yen with PayPay and left quickly.

Pessimistic thoughts can be expressed by anyone. But optimistic perspectives and how to feel happy cannot be spoken without a strong will. Marutani Tomoyo, the CEO of Sekoma, who is walking a unique path in Hokkaido. In this era of the coronavirus pandemic, it is not easy to speak optimistically, but it is important to firmly determine the basis for it. Today, I will visit Dotonbori. Even though the state of emergency has been lifted, many shops are still closed. I decided to try "Osaka Ohsho Dotonbori Main Store." I ordered the "Shrimp Mayonnaise" with a medium serving of rice (970 yen). The menu composition varies by store at Osaka Ohsho. There are set menus with substantial volume, but I decided to go with the individual "Shrimp Mayonnaise" dish and added a medium serving of rice. I love Ebi Chili, but Ebi Mayo is also a favorite of mine. About seven shrimp were used, with a crispy coating, a chewy texture of the shrimp, and the delicious taste of mayonnaise that goes well with rice. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. Normally, this restaurant would be bustling with foreign tourists, but it feels like a different world now. Let us continue to strive on the path, quietly, with no regrets.

Finally, with the lifting of the state of emergency, we can go out confidently! I went to Osho for the first time in a while! I ordered Mapo Tofu, large portion of Tenshinhan, Shrimp Chili, and Karaage - maximum calories! To be honest, I shouldn't have gotten the large portion of Tenshinhan. I regret it. Somehow, the taste was not quite there today. I wonder why? Maybe it was because the service from the staff was not quite up to par? The restaurant had good impressions with alcohol disinfection and sanitization measures in place! I hope we can return to our normal lives soon. Oh, and PayPay wasn't accepted. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the main branch of Osaka Ohsho in the bustling district of Dotonbori on March 2, 2020, at 12:15. It was before all the commotion with the Wuhan virus, and the main street was crowded with tourists. I ordered the "Golden Fried Rice" in a large serving and the "Original Pan-Fried Dumplings." As a fan of fried rice, my honest opinion is that I would have been fine with just the dumplings. Food & Taste: 3.0 The "Golden Fried Rice" was a plate of curry-flavored fried rice topped with chicken cutlet. Despite the generous portion, the taste and texture remained unchanged, and the greasy monotony made me lose interest halfway through. The chicken cutlet seemed pre-made (due to the speed of service and its texture). It is said to be topped with tartar sauce, but it was mostly mayonnaise. The "Original Pan-Fried Dumplings" were cooked perfectly. Simple yet delicious, especially compared to the mediocre fried rice. Service: 2.8 The system for ordering was through a touch panel on the table. I had a service ticket for the dumplings that said, "Please present this ticket when ordering," but when I tried to call a waiter using the touch panel, no one came. After waiting a few minutes, I tried again with the same result. Eventually, I had to wait a few more minutes until a staff member passed by to call them over. They asked in broken Japanese if I had already ordered, and when I inquired about using the ticket, they just said, "Order first." The service felt a bit careless. However, the Japanese staff member who handled the payment on the first floor was very polite. I hope it was just a one-time issue with the ordering staff. Atmosphere: 3.1 The exterior had a huge dumpling sculpture as a landmark. It stood out in the lively scenery of Dotonbori. The restaurant had three floors and had a typical fast-food Chinese restaurant ambiance. It was spacious inside, and Japanese music played loudly in the background. There were a decent number of customers, considering the busy street outside. Cost Performance: 2.9 The "Golden Fried Rice" was 938 yen, with the large serving costing an additional 214 yen. The "Original Pan-Fried Dumplings" were 223 yen. The touch panel mentioned that the large serving of fried rice was free, but it was not reflected on the receipt, making it slightly expensive. Drink: - Data not available. It has been about three months since then. In these times where attention to the environment inside the restaurant is crucial, I hope they have made improvements.

"Osaka Ohsho Dotombori Main Store". This is the main store of the nationwide chain "Osaka Ohsho". It is different from the Kansai-originated nationwide chain "Gyoza no Ohsho", with various differences as detailed on Wikipedia. The flashy signboard is a landmark! However, there are many eye-catching signboards around here (lol). The crispy texture of the grilled side is excellent, but the flavor of the filling seems a bit weak and lacks depth. And wait, they serve the dishes on trays by default?! When you're feeling peckish in the bustling Dotombori area, you can easily enjoy it with a fast-food feel, so maybe it's just right for that kind of use. https://www.osaka-ohsho.com

Spicy ramen and gyoza ^_^ I came here for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. The ramen soup has a good level of spiciness and the acidity is also nice. The gyoza has a beautiful sear on it. The garlic flavor is strong, but the skin is thin and has a chewy texture, which was delicious. I also had a mix of vinegar, doubanjiang, and chili oil with it. I wonder if it's their original blend?

"I ate a Yakisoba U.F.O. at a Chinese restaurant in Osaka the other day." - When I told my acquaintance this, as expected, they said, "Huh? What does that mean??" Well, anyone would react like that, right? However, I am not lying, I did indeed have it. The only thing is, it's not the cup Yakisoba U.F.O. that everyone knows, but a real Yakisoba U.F.O. made by a Chinese restaurant. The "Osaka Osho U.F.O." that I had this time is a collaboration menu with "Nissin Foods," also originating from Osaka, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of "Osaka Osho" in 2019. It consists of freshly boiled and stir-fried noodles, pork, and cabbage, which the customer mixes with the sauce of "Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O." to finish. Initially, I was thinking of ordering some rice dishes or side dishes, but upon learning about this Yakisoba, I decided to order the U.F.O. along with the Okonomiyaki-style dumplings called "Dotonbori Gyoza" and a non-alcoholic beer (note that orders are placed using a tablet that supports multiple languages). The first to arrive were the dumplings and beer. The dumplings were topped with Okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, green onions, and pickled ginger. The taste was just like Okonomiyaki, which might be interesting for tourists, but personally, I felt that the flavor of the dumplings themselves was a bit overshadowed. After a while, the awaited Yakisoba was brought to the table. The paper lid had the sauce from the commercial "Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O.," and inside were medium-thick noodles with large pork pieces and cabbage. After mixing the sauce myself and trying it, the chewy medium-thick noodles were well coated with the sauce. The noodles had more elasticity compared to instant noodles, and the large pork pieces added more substance to it. This taste can be described as a real "Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O." that can only be experienced at the restaurant. This Yakisoba was just released recently and seems to be limited to 60,000 servings. For those who love U.F.O. or are looking for unique menus, I highly recommend trying it out (by the way, payment is made at the self-checkout on the first floor). By the way, on the first floor of this main store, they have a limited edition Gyoza hot dog menu that is only available here. Given that they have Yakisoba sandwiched in bread, it's not surprising to have Gyoza sandwiched as well, especially since it is also labeled in English, Chinese, and Korean, indicating it is likely targeted towards foreign tourists. Although I did not try it this time, there was a long line of foreign tourists waiting, so if I have the chance, I would like to try it as a conversation starter.

Honestly... Did it become tasteless!? (^◇^;) The filling improved, I understand that! But the skin and the cooking level have dropped significantly... I often eat at Osaka Ohsho, which is related to the franchisee Naniwa Foods, so I'm not sure if the quality is lower at the directly managed stores, but it was not good! We ordered two servings of pan-fried dumplings, which were not tasty, so we added an extra order for one serving with more cooking time, but it was just average (^◇^;) I'm not saying they added any filler! I'm speaking honestly, believing that those in the food and beverage industry who take pride in their work will strive for even higher standards. Dumplings rely heavily on the quality of the skin, and it felt like eating frozen dumplings from the supermarket! I can't judge based on just one store, so I will try a few more different locations. #OsakaOhsho #DumplingRenewal #NotTasty #DumplingsRelyOnTheSkin #They advertise as Dotonbori Main Store, so instead of serving tasteless dumplings to tourists, aim to be the best! #TotalPriceIncludingTax 3390 yen

This was my first visit with members who love gyoza. This restaurant was established in 1969. We visited during a weekday lunchtime, so it was not crowded. We tried the original pan-fried gyoza, which were larger than usual. The taste was okay, nothing particularly impressive. They offered a variety of other dishes besides gyoza. I personally like to eat gyoza with just vinegar and pepper.

The main store of Osaka Ohsho, a gyoza specialty restaurant located in Dotonbori, Osaka. It is within walking distance from the nearest stations, Nankai or Hankyu Osaka-Namba Station. I wanted to visit the main store once, so I stopped by while running errands. It may have a more flashy image compared to other branches, but the taste is top-notch! It's delicious after all. I ended up ordering things I don't usually eat. I am quite satisfied!
