Nice fried skewered food. Remember, no double dipping into the sauce! We only order a small portion to share as there's just so many other food in the area that we wanted to try. We were lucky and didn't had to wait and managed to go straight in. When we came out, there was quite a queue to get in.

I loved the idea of everything deep fried. But when I finally got to try this place, it was quite underwhelming. Their seafood is so fresh, deep fry batter is amazing! The fried food doesn’t taste greasy at all. It tastes great! I ordered a set for 2200 yen which I got to try most skewers! Some were okay but not the best. You have a sauce to dip into. However you can only dip once!!! My partner and I found it kind of unhygienic??? In a way but I’m sure hopefully everyone follows the rules! Staff are lovely, some can speak some English! GreAt location in dontombori!

We had to queue up which was not too bad due to high turnover. They have the English menu with helpful attendants who speak English. we ordered a set followed by top ups of our favourites. Good snacking spot (we had a window seat overlooking the river as well as mega donki)

DELICIOUS kushikatsu, worth experiencing if youre looking for battered fried food dipped in sauce. Delicious sauce btw, like a sweet demiglaze sauce.Rule of thumb, dont double dip!!!

Nice place. The sticks are small, so you can try a bunch of different pieces. Don't forget the NO DOUBLE DIP rule! :)

This location is pretty busy, but the line moves quick. Recommend the assorted combo to sample most everything. They have english menus too.

What a great little place. There are seats upstairs as it looks very small downstairs. They have a half English menu. My daughter is a picky eater and we found a bunch of things she liked. I don't know what the sauce was made of but it was great. Follow the rules (they are written in English on the menu) and only do once! Enjoy

I wanted to love it but it was lacking flavour. Everything was under season. The best thing i had there was kimchi. We ordered beer and it was nice and cold. We did not have to line up. We went on monday around 7pm-ish.

Get that combo C, then proceed to only order shrimp. Absolutely amazing, just as good everyone told me it was. It gets pretty packed tho, but it's still good.

Really nicely done fried skewers. Thin coat of batter fried to crispy perfection. Dunk it into their special sauce (no double dipping) and each mouthful is wonderfully tasty.I'm not a huge fan of fried food but really enjoyed what we had. Go for the combo to try a bit of everything.

Better to go here during off peak hours as the restaurant gets packed easily but nonetheless excellent food! One of my favorites during our trip!

A popular place for some quick and cheap late night food in this area. Everything apart from your drinks will come deep fried, and then most of that will have a light batter on it.There is a good choice of vegetables, meat and seafood. Service comes really quickly and they serve their beer extra cold.It is not going to be all that healthy, but it is a fun and tasty restaurant.

Solid spot to load up on kushikatsu before a night of drinking. Had some language barriers but you can't expect every single establishment to 100% cater to your lack of the language. Be respectful and attempt to get through with your butchered Japanese and you'll be ok. The food is quick and rather delicious.

So good! Turns out while there are quite a few Kushikatsu Daruma branches in the touristy area, each has a slightly varying menu. This one has camembert cheese - which was amazing! And of course, NO DOUBLE DIP!

The place is very busy, you'll have to stand in line to get in. The line is pretty quick though. The real must is here the whole variety of kushikatsu, fried snacks of different kind of type. The personal is very friendly and quick, the place and accessoires seem to be clean evev if it is constantly crowdy. Only four stars because it's a bit pricey for what they offer. If you find the same food in another street or district of Osaka, you'll pay less and maybe eat better. If you're on schedule and want to stoll in Dotombori, then this is one of the places to be.
