Kogi Soul Umeda Ohatsu Tenjin Branch

The food is delicious! And the service was super fast and helpful. They grilled the pork belly to perfection and our other orders came out very quickly

They charged us 1400 yen for an "appetizer fee" which we never ordered. It was a cucumber on a stick which we did not eat... Also forgot one of our orders, twice! Never gave us water either. Either a tourist trap or unfriendly to foreigners, would not recommend despite the high reviews.

Found this restaurant by chance when i was searching for great dinner around my hotel. The pork belly is thick yet tender, combined with their own dipping sauce, it become one of the best combo for korean-japan bbq. The restaurant itself was tucked in the 3rd floor of the building with no sign, and even the door looks like the door of refrigerator. This restaurant is very popular among the local.

Top 3 meals we had in our two week stay in Japan. The best Korean fried chicken we ever had by far! Staff is also extremely and genuinely friendly

The food was not bad. However, the most frustrating part of the whole experience was that the staff only told us after we had finished eating and already ordered dessert that each person must order at least one drink (we were short by one). I tried to explain that I didn’t want any more drinks and asked if I could replace it with a dessert instead, but because of the language barrier, the staff just kept repeating that everyone needs to order a drink. In the end, I had to order an extra drink I didn’t want while I was already having dessert, which made the experience quite disappointing. If this rule exists, I really hope the restaurant can mention it upfront or be a bit more flexible next time. Thank you.
