My two visits tell quite the story:
First trip was reconnaissance—I explored but balked at the steep prices (a meager portion for over 2,000 yen? No thanks).
Second attempt, I recruited reinforcements. Though we queued separately, our appetites were united in delicious anticipation.
With ironclad determination, I joined the line for their famous 3,800-yen grilled steak sandwich—
a craving born after seeing its juicy glory on TV.
I needed to solve the mystery: what alchemy transforms good steak into pure bliss?
Just as my confidence peaked, reality struck. The customer ahead asked about the wait time after payment.
The verdict? A soul-crushing thirty minutes.
Thirty minutes! My entire lunch break would vanish in that queue.
Defeated, I retreated as the crowd swelled, settling for consolation udon—a 1,600-yen bowl of meaty noodles.
To its credit, the udon delivered—springy, flavorful, and worlds beyond my sad instant version the next day.
But between the premium prices and endless queues,
office warriors might fare better visiting during leisurely evening hours.
Strangely, the experience gave me “Osaka’s answer to Heytea” vibes—
where hype meets hefty price tags, leaving you slightly underwhelmed.
I’ve been meaning to check out that food hall—those prices do sound steep, but the dishes everyone’s raving about are making my mouth water. I’ll definitely go with friends next time; splitting costs might be worth it for such unique local flavors!
