Sumibiyakinikutabehodai Rikimaru Shinsaibashi

I am writing to express my disappointment with a recent experience at Yakiniku Rikimaru Shinsaibashi, which I had highly anticipated but unfortunately left me quite dissatisfied. I had a reservation for 8:30 PM on 22 Aug, which was unexpectedly canceled at 8:28 PM, just two minutes before the sched...uled time. However, upon my arrival, the waiter, who spoke fluent English, informed me rather rudely that I was late by two minutes. I was taken aback by the lack of courtesy and understanding. It was disheartening to encounter such a dismissive attitude. Busy evenings can present challenges, but the manner in which this situation was handled was both unprofessional and disappointing. I would not recommend anyone to try this restaurant.

Wagyu Heaven in Osaka! 🥩🍶 We stumbled upon Rikimaru without a reservation and were thrilled they could still accommodate us — a lucky find! The all-you-can-eat Wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the all-you-can-drink option made it even better. Great vibes, friendly staff, and incredible v...alue for the quality of meat. A must-visit for any meat lover in Osaka

Checked out this place for lunch and got their premium all you can eat option for about 3900-4000 yen per person. They had some really great premium cuts of meat that were delicious. Stand out dishes to me were the salted beef tongue (with the green onion side dish) and the ribeye. Rib fingers and... skirt steak were also good too! The waiters and staff were very attentive, lunchtime had a quiet, family crowd - suspect dinnertime would be really different.

If you are ever in Osaka and are craving for great cuts of meat, this place is a must to visit. Place is located just outside of Hotel Monterey and right next to JR Namba Station (great for those who have the JR pass). I recommend making a reservation a head of time. We walked-in without reservation... and luckily they were able to accommodate but we had to wait 90 mins (well worth the wait) so they took our name and told us to come back at a certain time. The staff are very helpful, pleasant and courteous. Service was top notch. Highly recommend to go with the Premium Course (3480¥); the entire party must order the same course when choosing ayce, this also goes for the ayce drink. But when you visit this place go for the Premium Course. Now to the food! Highly, highly recommend start of with the short ribs and ribeye. These two cut of meats are like otoro (fatty tuna), melts in your mouth type of dish. If you want that meat flavor, go for the skirt steaks and tongue. If you like pork, you can’t go wrong with the fatty pork and bacon. There are over 100 items on the menu (meats, veggies, noodles, fried items, rice bowls, desert and etc) and you have 120 minutes to feast (last 30 mins is for desert). My wife and I didn’t explore much because we knew what we went there for... MEAT! The price is excellent for the type of service and especially the quality of food you are being served. We enjoyed using the charcoal grill to cook our food. Binchōtan (japanese charcoal) adds a flavor to the food compared to using gas and it cooks the food very well and fast (great for these types of meat). We’ll definitely visit this eatery again.

Best meal we had so far in Japan! You can buy eat as much as you can menu in different price ranges.. and we sure did eat as much as we could! Same system on drinks. Including booze. I would defiantly come back if I ever come to Osaka again!
