Gyoza No Ohsho Shinsaibashi - Osaka

With its famous brand and good location, the food is shockingly cheap (USD 2.2 for 6 dumplings) taste good for me, but perhaps salty for some other people.

This is Japanese style Chinese restaurant. The price is very reasonable and very delicious food. Your service is really fast and efficient. I would recommend to anyone who wants to taste a reasonable Japanese food.

Gyozas came with cabbage/leek/pork filling and thin envelopes I prefer. Also ordered a vegetable plate, which tasted like roast vegetables and pork pieces with soy sauce. The dishes are usually fat, so pay attention if your diet does not allow much oil/fat.

Gyoza No Osho is a famous chain restaurant for Japanese Gyoza in Asia and we tried it at one of their locations in Taiwan a couple of years ago. They announce that all their gyoza is handmade freshly everyday and they fry on unique skillet, which is customized specially to properly heat up to the best temperature for the size of their gyoza. However, we couldn’t tell the difference between other restaurants and it was too salty for us. Their sauces with variety are also the reason why they are popular but we didn’t try them due to it’s heavy flavors.

Food: 4/5 for the Gyoza everything else is a 3/5 Service: 4/5 OK service unless busy Value: 4/5 for the Gyoza, everything else is a 3/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Counter and table seating downstairs, table seating upstairs, dated but everything is functional, just expect tourists with their suitcases parked around the tables. Have dined at this location of Ohsho several times over the years, keep expecting that the other dishes besides the gyoza would improve, sadly that has not the case. Everything either comes out greasy (like the karaage), or hard like a rock (sweet and sour pork), or bland (fried rice) or the meat just doesn't taste good (scallion/green onion beef). Recommend just ordering some gyoza and a bowl of rice and maybe some pan fried vegetables since it is very hard to mess that up. Other Ohsho locations at less touristy areas of Osaka are a lot better in regards to the quality of the food.
