Osaka is truly a unique and memorable experience and this restaurant is no exception. Look for the enormous movable crab to locate the restaurant. Reservations can be made online but we went when they opened at 11:00 and were able to secure a table for three. We each ordered a crab meal with cou...rses having the crab cooked different ways. Our server was not fluent in English but we were able to communicate. She was very sweet and worked really hard. We dined on the second floor which was fun to sit at a low Japanese table and cushioned bench. The food was a bit expensive but the quality of the food and the experience definitely made it worthwhile.

I had the crab sushi rolls and the crab pot rice. Both of them were really good. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The place is also very nice.

The food live up to the big crab sign outside the restaurant. Everything is all about crabs.... steam, raw, deep fried, crab soup, crab rice! The crabs tasted fresh and delicious! Good portion as well. The chawamushi and dessert were very good as well. Service in this restaurant was very good.... They changed the hot green tea at least 3 times to Ensure that customers had hot green tea all the time.

Great place to have everything crab! The restaurant normally has a huge crab hanging outside its doors. It's a friendly family restaurants. Boiled, barbecued, boiled, fried, sashimi, soup, poached....all with crab! Tasty, and quantity. For a good change of meal this is a great place to socialise and... enjoy ones crab meal.
