Sumibiyakinikutabehodai Rikimaru Shinsaibashi

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!

Restaurant was near where we stayed at Shinsaibashi and easy to find with a big signboard on the ground floor of building although it is at the basement. Near Tokyu Hands. We took the 3400Yen eat all you can and the 1000 Yen all you can drink. The beef was good, we chose the 4 cut platter and o...rder at least 2 other servings of the rib eye as it is our favourite cut. Also ordered 2 other servings of another cut and tongue so overall above the value that we paid. For 1000 Yen drinks, it will only be worth it if you can drink 3 servings of alcoholic drinks but it is not so expensive so I think to go for the 1000Y gives you more choices to switch from alcoholic to non-alcoholic drinks thorough the meal. The only problem is with the last order policy. We also did not know that you cannot order beef and only can order dessert during the last 30 minutes. Not so clear on the menu. My advice is to order what you think you can eat and all your favourites within the first 1.5 hours hours.

premium buffet costed me JPY4,060 (tax included) , after trying several types, I went for Rip eye steak only as it is the best in my own opinion. Go for quality not quantity, if you can't finish them all there are some fines.
