Best places: Beef rice bowl restaurants in Osaka, Japan

👍 Tasty meat dishes so long as you like your beef rare. Loses a star for being cash only, having to order through a Japanese vending machine, and having a long line outside despite many empty tables inside. Ko

👍👍 When in Rome do as the Romans do. When in Kobe, eat as much beef as humanly possible. I already absolutely love beef dons, so this one just felt like that but even more boujee. I loved the style of this restaurant. It was small, intimate, and predominantly counter seating. The vending machine out f...

Snug, popular eatery specializing in gyudon bowls made with Kobe beef & toppings such as raw egg.

👍👍 読み方は「やきにくどん・はじめ」です。 その名前の通り、焼肉系の丼のお店、種類は豊富、かつ、お安くいただけます。 よく前の道を通っていたのですが、なかなか行けず、今回初めて行ってみました。開店直後でちょっと行くのが早かったのか、僕だけでした（笑） どれにしようか迷う感じで、それくらいメニューも多いの...

👍👍 soooo good and really well priced! was pretty quiet when we went there for dinner too, and food was served fast. only downside is that you have to order from a machine (only in japanese), and if you take too long, your order resets.

👍 Yes missing my red meat after 5 days of tempura, sashimi, ramen, curry and katsu. USA Beef is okay but suggest you Buy the Japan local beef for a delightful fresh texture and good taste. Cost a few dollars more but worth it.

👍👍 I totally love this place. It's mainly for locals but the vending machine has an English menu so it was great. They have veggie options. The food is so hot 🔥 and you can add spices to it. The kitchen people don't speak English but your order will show up on the screen. No WiFi available here. There...

👍 Matsuya is the most elegant restaurant in Japan, with a vast hall overlooking the courtyard. Perhaps because it's a store inside a hotel, all the staff are cheerful and have a nice atmosphere. However, the only thing that bothers me is the red ginger. It smells like half-dried laundry, probably b...

👍 We just have to try their so-called quick-serve restaurant, chains like these serve affordable meals at a very fast pace. Head to the ordering station and order via the touch screen. Be seated and boom💥 your order will be called within minutes. Kinda of over ordered for 2person. Quality of food you...

👍👍 Absolutely loved this place for its convenience. Its a no frills, order from the machine style japanese fast food joint. We lived around the corner so dropped by for a few meals when there was nothing that appealed to us locally. Simple fast fresh. Large portions. Great value. They also do coffee fo...

👍👍 Delicious, quick, filling! This place is cafeteria style with pick your own fried side dishes. The restaurant was busy upon arrival but the queue moved very quickly and efficiently. Food was very good for the price point. Very chewy and springy udon noodles with tender gyudon beef. The best part wa...

👍👍 たまに行きます～スタッフさんよく声がでていて気分良く、又来たいと思って、帰ります。料理も待たせませんね～

👍 Located at the East end of Dotonbori Street. Open 24 hours. If you wanna Japanese fast food around here, I recommend to go this Sukiya. In addition to Gyudon (beef-ball), you can enjoy so variety of meals like curry, eel, grilled fishes, deserts. Credit cards, e-money’s are acceptable for the paym...

👍👍 You can count on Yoshinoya for a warm comforting meal of beef bowl! 🐄🐮 There’s even hotpot options available! 🍲 Beef is always soft and flavourful and goes so well with the egg, onion and rice 😋. Loveee it that there’s different sizes of bowls available depending on your appetite, and that they...

👍👍 English reviewer here! Yes this place is good! Cheap prices, but delicious and filling food. Great for a quick meal if you don't have the time to sit at a fancy restaurant like I did a few times. I wanted to avoid fast food like this, but I'm glad I didn't because it's not like American fast food. I...

👍👍 Cheap, delicious, many options. Great staff.

👍👍 If you’re considering choosing between yashinoya or matsuya. Choose the last one, matsuya is much better with service and flavor.

👍👍 The food is delicious and very affordably priced. The original gyudon is flavourful with fatty and tender beef slices. The portion is quite standard but honestly you can’t complain with the price you are paying for it. Moreover, you can always request for a larger portion at an additional cost. The...

👍 The atmosphere was nothing special, but the food was good. It was tasty, and the price was very reasonable👍👍👍
