Robatayaki Mizukakechaya

This izakaya is a chain with lots of locations in Kansai. Cozy, traditional atmosphere and great food for the price! If you’re expecting Western-style service, this might not be the place, but the staff here are fast, efficient, and friendly. The chef sometimes points out daily specials, and if you’re not sure about a dish, they’re happy to explain. Just keep in mind you may need a little Japanese to understand. Tip: check the menu or specials ahead of time so you know what to try and can enjoy it even more! I really hope this helps you enjoy Izakaya more!

We chanced upon this place whilst and are glad we did. This is about as local as you can get. We were seated at the chef's table with the wonderful spread in front. We ordered a couple of skewers and I must say the chef worked fast. It was fun watching him shuck the scallops we ordered right in front of us. The food is fresh and value for money at only 300yen per skewer except for the scallop and sashimi which you have to pay double. Presentation is good each dish came carefully garnished and some with sauce on the side. Wonderful experience seeing the chef serve the food via a long handled wooden "bat" Definitely a place you do not want to miss if you are around Dontonburi area.

It was supposed to be a chill and easy dinner. We found this restaurant and decided to walk in. The waiters and waitresses were not friendly at all, rushing us to order with zero communication. I ordered a Suntory Highball, but it tasted like pure soda—you could tell just from the color. If you’re planning to order alcohol, you might be better off choosing their beers. As for the food, my friends and I found it pretty average. It seemed like they were in a rush, so yeah. The prawns were tough.

Traditional food grilled in front of you. Outstanding food and ambience.. Supper fresh ,super quick,full of locals, so you know it's good. Seafood was outstanding.

First time experiencing this. Not much seasoning therefore I think all the ingredient were really fresh, truly Enjoy the original flavour of each dishes. Scallop is a MUST MUST MUST ORDER for me! Super huge and super fresh! The waitress was very attentive too. The whole vibe in the restaurant is fun. Tq so much for the service !

A hidden gem in the alley of Dotonburi. Wide selection of seafood and regular yakitori meat stuff. The scallops are a must-try. Visited the shop 1st in 2019, quality remains consistent.

Came to japan looking for an izakaya experience but was afraid of the language barrier. Staff spoke English. Menu also had different languages. Locals go there too so you can experience a "natural" feel. There was a review about it being smokey from the grill. Well it was smokey but you can feel the a/c and the air quality was good. Unless you're in a big group they will probably seat you in front of the grill master. Food was about 300 yen per dish

A good place in the middle of the busy streets of Osaka. We do not have patience in queueing for the other restaurants, so we tried to find other place to eat at, and found this place. Not a lot of tourist eating here and seems like a rest to us. We liked the food overall. The only weird taste I tried is the snail, maybe I am not just used to it. Glad we experienced eating here. Loved their scallops btw!

We had a marvelous meal!! We highly recommend the chicken wings!!! The dish comes with two, we loved them so much we ordered another servings! We sat up on the third floor.
