Osaka's popular oden restaurant experience | A real review of queuing for an hour

#大坂美食攻略 I checked in at this popular oden restaurant in Osaka. There was already a long queue at the door of the store at 6pm. I waited for a full hour before I was seated. The two of us spent 4,400 yen. Is it worth it? Dining experience record The store is run by several grandfathers. They have prepared a picture menu, so you can easily order even if you don’t know Japanese. There are many kinds of oden, including classic ingredients such as radish, bamboo rolls, konjac, etc. The soup base is moderately salty and sweet, but the overall flavor is not much different from other oden restaurants in Ichime. The unexpected surprise is the curry udon noodles - the rich curry sauce wrapped in the chewy udon, salty and slightly spicy, is the most recommended dish in the venue. Real evaluation The advantages are that the dishes are served quickly, the grandfathers are friendly, and the warm yellow lights in the store create a warm atmosphere. But to be honest, queuing for an hour to taste the "not much different" taste is really not cost-effective. We observed that more than 90% of the customers in the store were Chinese. We speculated that this may have become a "check-in point" due to online recommendations rather than winning by taste.
