This is just horrible. I have no idea why this is 2 star. Salmon, grouper all over cooked. Sauces were too salty. The chef needs to taste his food. Why is the donabe such a big pot?? My helpers salmon miso rice using tiger rice cooker is better 🤯 And we were charged an additional 5000 yen per pax fo...r premium seasonal ingredients but what we got was absolutely sh*t. I simply do not accept such theatrics. There were 12 diners and 1 head chef and at least 3-4 other sous chefs. Head chef was just standing around watching the sous chefs who were on EarPods and used iPads to describe and show photos of the dishes. I did not finish most of the dishes and no one had the guts or decency to ask me what were wrong with them. Please also check out the google review with a super one defensive note from the Chef. Of course reviews are one sided. What does he expect?

Excellent food. But some ingredients stated in the menu were missing from the dish.

Everything about this meal / experience was fabulous. The physical restaurant was beautiful, it was comfortable, not pretentious but everything was perfect and well considered. The staff & service was amazing. We are not fancy dressers, we just love food. Everyone was kind & patient, we had many d...ishes that were new to us & lots of questions about preparation & ingredients. Every course prepared with the finest & freshest ingredients. Every dish was beautiful including the actual ceramic dishes. Each course was artfully conceived & plated.

Koryu is a 12-seat bar serving a kaiseki meal on a small side street in the downtown area of Osaka. Our reservation was made through our hotel, and consistent with some other reviews, we were only offered the 9:00 pm seating that appears to be the time for non-Japanese speakers. We selected the seas...onal menu focused (because it was winter) around fugu (blowfish). All of the courses, apart from the several fugu courses, were excellent and inventive in presentation and preparation. However, the fugu being served that night was exceptionally tough and chewy. One of us had enjoyed fugu previously and we both had fugu at other restaurants during this trip, and in none of these cases was the fugu so tough. It is a firm fish, but even the cooked fugu at Koryu was chewy. We chose to have sake pairings with our meal and enjoyed the choices. Several reviewers have suggested that the restaurant was not very friendly and that not enough English was spoken. Admittedly, the chef did not chat with us during the meal, but I think it is an unreasonable expectation that everyone in Japan should be comfortable in English. How many chefs and servers in Michelin-starred restaurants in the US are fluent in Japanese? Our server did a perfectly adequate job with his limited English explaining the contents of each course, including using a notebook containing the photos and names of the fishes, and the chef very graciously escorted us out of the restaurant and the end of the meal.

The restaurant is located behind ANA crown hotel. We made arrangement to have the winter special dinner ( Fugu or Blowfish) meal that cost 30,000y per person. The restaurant serves a Omakase meal with multi course food, both raw n cooked food. Overall good quality food, good service with staff abl...e to speak English. If you in town and want a special meal with a decent budget, give this place a try.
