BATTEN YOKATO AMERIKAMURA

It’s our last day in Japan, and we decided to have skewers on our last night! Honestly wish we discovered this earlier!! The dishes I’d recommend are: - Tofu with cheese (must get!!!) - deep fried corn - chicken skin - chicken thigh - homemade meatball - Eringi mushroom Basically everything at this point…. The chef grills them in front of you, and staff are super friendly! The price is also reasonable!! When looking at reviews, I saw a few complains about having to order drinks pp at this restaurant, however it is actually really common at most Japanese restaurants! We also went early like 4:30PM for an early dinner hence there’s no line at all! We will 100% come back to this next time when we are back! Thank you for a delicious meal!! ❤️

Great meal for a reasonable cost. We spent around ¥4800. Plenty of skewers options to try. Lots of meat to select, and various vegetable options if you are vegetarian. The staff were very welcoming from the moment we walked in. Would recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for something in a great area.

Very disappointing experience. The staff clearly favoured local customers while making others wait outside. Some guests were let in immediately under the excuse of “reservations,” even though they had just arrived. Service was cold and inattentive, while locals received smiles and quick attention. Food was average and overpriced, made worse by the poor attitude. A restaurant should treat all guests equally not show such obvious bias.

Missed my flight back because been wanting to try out this space. Is comfy, food is nice and affordable. They do have happy hour from 4-6pm, check this space out!

Came here due a friend's recommendation and boy were we in for a treat! The food was cooked perfectly and flavored so well. The pacing of each portion coming out after each order was also good to allow steady eating and drinking. Definitely recommend and we'll be back next time we're in Osaka.

The corn is awesome . I had these for 3 days during my 8 days visit in Osaka . However, the pork intestine is also a MVP. Do expect a long queue .. and don’t come in big group due to the place is a bit small and unable to cater a big group of people . The food is awesome tbh . Surely will come back again

Fantastic izakaya serving delicious yakitori. Mix of various chicken, pork and beef meats along with vegetables skewers. Various appetizers, salads and other delicious sides available. Beer, wine, Soju, Saki and other alcohol available. Wife and I waited roughly 40 minutes on a Friday night to get in but was well worth the wait. They provide an English menu and the staff there were quite fluent in English. The staff there also made the experience extremely fun. We both ate as much as we could eat, drank as much as we could drink and it was still under ¥10,000. Definitely coming back tomorrow night for round 2!

This place is catered towards tourists/foreigners. The food is average for Osaka standards. They are not honest as you expect Japanese people to be. I ordered chicken heart yakitori and the lady who took my order did not tell me they were “sold out” instead she laid down a plate of skewers saying it was “chicken hearts” when they clearly did not look or taste like it. I am disappointed/disgusted they attempted to trick a tourist into believing chicken thigh were chicken hearts because I would not have sat down at the restaurant if I knew they didn’t have any. Overall the yakitori is average by local standards and you can certainly get better in local suburbs that don’t have an English menu.
