juju

I wanted my family to experience Kobe Wagyu beef Teppanyaki style and we were simply wandering around the Dotombori district when we were checking out the menu of one place, when I spotted this place down the stairs The menu looked like it would take care of us with the set dinner selections and th...e place looked empty - so we chanced our luck, having not made any reservations The decor is cozy, with limited seating around the food prep centre - as it should be A stylish establishment that befits the character of what the place was offering We basically had the whole place to ourselves - it felt like the ultimate VIP treatment The maitre’d was exceptional all evening and making sure our 7yr old boy was well looked after Our chef was as exceptional and prepared a phenomenal delight for us Both were extremely friendly and made us feel at home The abalone, the prawns and the fillet was all cooked to perfection Price wise, you pay for what you get and it was 100% worth it in my opinion Highly recommend

Got a tip from a friend who was not able to gets table. We got our hotel to make a reservation - and you have to. The olace was awesome. Only seating like 10-12 people. Great food and awesome experience. It is located downstairs so you are in the right place - just Take the stairs downstairs :) ...Great food, great service and they have a nice wine list as Well!

If you are looking for the perfect Wagyu experience this is the place to go. My wife and I were only in Osaka for three nights and we ate here on the first, having made a reservation before we travelled to Japan, based on TA reviews. We enjoyed it so much that we booked it again for our third night!... It was just as good the second time and the two ladies - one front of house and the other a genius on the Teppen were great hosts. The beef from Kagoshima was just divine.

Juju was one of the most memorable meals from our trip to Osaka. The set I chose included a salad, mixed vegetables, turban shell, foie gras, beef fillet, bread and dessert. There was an English menu available. You have to know what you’re walking into when visiting a place like Juju. Most of th...e items take time to cook, and I found it to be a unique and enjoyable experience being able to watch the chef prepare the dishes in front of us. Juju isn’t the place to go to if you’re famished and prefer not to eat your meal dish by dish. It is also on the pricier side. All the ingredients were fresh, and were cooked and seasoned perfectly. My beef was cooked medium rare and it was so delicious. I liked the fact that the beef portion wasn’t cooked and served to us all in the one go as we were able to pace ourselves and enjoy the meal more. Other tasty standouts that weren’t included in my set were the garlic rice (I chose the bread instead) and the crispy prawn head and legs. It’s quite an intimate restaurant space and the customer service was top notch. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The chef explained each dish to us and advised on which sauce would be the best accompaniment. He even offered to take a photo of us and as we were leaving, came out to say goodbye. Being located in Dotonbori – a melting pot for good food – you can definitely find more affordable teppanyaki places and other eateries around. However, for the quality of the meal, customer service and overall experience, I really enjoyed dining at Juju. I would highly recommend going to Juju if you don’t mind spending a little extra, are celebrating a special occasion or looking for a fine dining teppanyaki experience in Osaka.
