Oretachino-curry Ramen Koji Labo Osaka-namba

We've been in Osaka for a week and this is the only restaurant we've been to twice. (Not because other food was poor quality, but because this place is 6/5 stars.) The sauce is rich and flavorful. The sausage is tender but grilled nicely on the outside. The eggs are cooked very soft, runny, and delicately. The noodles are cooked perfectly. Everything blends together so well, and I recommend adding melted cheese on top. This is THE dish that I'll be thinking about on a rainy December evening when I'm back in Seattle.

Really good curry! You can choose which toppings you would like to add individually. They only have one type of curry - either as a soup or as a dish with rice. I picked the curry with rice and fried chicken plus spring onions. Just the spring onions were a little too much, despite that it was very flavorful. Highly recommend it

The food here is delicious, one of the most tender yet crispy chicken katau i have ever eaten. And the curry ramen is also really unique and tasty, noodles cooked to perfection. The shop is small and u have to order on the vending machine before you sit down at the counter seats. Get to watch tbe chef at work :)

A small counter restaurant ran by a couple - so expect to wait a little but it’s worth it! The curry is so delicious with its own unique flavor profile. The katsu and eggplant were fried to perfection. Also, the huge portions of green onion is a plus!

This place is very small and has limited seating which is pretty common in Japan but the food is so worth any potential wait. Went two times when I was last in Osaka in August and both times, I got lucky with no wait. Even though we were on a bit of a time crunch, it was a unanimous decision between the three of us where we specifically went out of our way to eat this meal again before heading to the airport on our last day. Price is fair, you order and pay from a ticket machine and then sit down. Food is served quickly and I demolished my food so fast because it was that good so you can be in and out in as little as 20 minutes when it’s not busy. The cutlet is light, tender and crispy, has a good flavour and not dry at all. The sauce is so yummy, I’m not sure how to describe the taste but it satisfies something deep within my soul. I ate the entire dish with a smile on my face. They also have a unique spicy asahi ginger ale that I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. If I had to critique anything, it would just be that I wish the portions were bigger because it was delicious and I wanted more of it but not a bigger portion enough to justify ordering another plate. I’ve been craving this ever since I left Japan and fantasize about this warm and comforting dish in the cold Canadian weather 🥲

The best Japanese curry in my life🥹 Both Cook and server were super friendly and nice. Their kitchen is organized and you can see how they cook all kinds of dishes 💚 definitely recommend and worth the wait! Server was super cute 🥰

Yummy! Oishi! Those are the only words that come to mind when I think of the curry here. Staff are friendly and the food is incredible. You go inside the restaurant and order/pay for your meal on at the kiosk. You’ll be issued a receipt with a number. When your number is called you’ll be ushered to your stool. The restaurant has limited seating, so you’ll probably have to wait in a queue/line. Pro tip: they have Asahi beer cans that function as mugs. Just place your hands around the can and you’ll see what I mean.

Always a queue for this curry joint. Recently they have a new queuing system where you order, and get a queue number. I think it's a fanatic idea. Been there a few times and the food is always consistent in taste and quality. Fast and friendly service. Always feel welcome when eating here.
