You can add off the menu orders by talking to the chef on what is avaialble. One of the top tempura joints in Osaka! The chef changes his olive oil daily!
Wow! Summarized as an incredible tempura dining experience at a steal lunch deal price of ¥1080. This is a very small 8 seater diner that serves tempura set meals and drinks so at their opening time is, try to arrive early.

Ordered on:
03Oct2018
Lunch Set featuring x2 vegetables (onion, lotus root), x1 fish, x1 pork, x1 squid.
1080Yen
Fried egg onsen tamago served atop rice, miso soup and pickled vegetables.

 *So so very good. It would seem the chef times each tempura individually only after you finish what is presented to you. Thus in this way one can really enjoy each of the tempura ingredients with 3 different salt choices. That Onsen Tempura Tamgo is just divine and I don't know how they manage to retain the runny yolk on the inside. A beautiful golden, gravy center mixing with the rice. The rice egg serving is just sufficient to try with each of the individually served tempura.*

Dinner Menu
(Reservations are highly recommended as others have tried but got turned away)

Highly recommended to try the lunch set as the dinner set prices to cost a large sum. However with that said, I’d definately return to try their entry lvl ¥3500 set for dinner. Reservations are recommended due to the incrdibly small seating capacity.

Ambience 3.5/5
*It does have a very unassuming front, but the interior is clean, trendy with jazzy music in the background and the beautiful sounds from the frying tempura.*
Food 3.5/5
*Everything was excellent and the service gave one the chance to enjoy the nuances between the served ingredients. A truly enjoyable experience.*
Value 4.5/5 (Lunch set)
Service 4/5
*Even thou the seating is so limited, you don’t feel at all rushed throughout the entire meal. They try to explain each of the dishs and serve the tempura course by course!*

Total Fed 2 1080Yen each

A must go tempura lunch deal place. Not over filling and an incredibly satisfying meal. Will  try their weekday dinner some other time.

Tonkatsu KYK
(Keep You Kindly)

120m from Sheraton Miyako Hotel
Popular chain joint that's take away only!

Located at B1 of the mall. Take the escalator down and KYK is located to the left nearer towards the train station.  

 *Take aways only*

Tonkatsu Take Away Set 2

*Pretty good for a takeaway joint. Nicely packed and a nice fry. Not much fat distribution however. Although in the window, a freshly fried pork cutlet had a beautiful pink interior, am guessing the continued cooking in the take away pack get a medium doneness to the meat. Nice side condiments to compliment the dish and their tonkatsu sauce is packed separately. If one is already here one would be better of having Tonkatsu Kochi at HihiTown for the same pricing. A nice sit down place with free flow of fresh salad and rice. Tonzen in Narita continues to be number one thus far.*
