Can’t remember the street off the top of my head but downtown there’s a whole street with tacoyaki places that are amazing. Well, amazing if you like tacoyaki I guess.
Token Eatery Bar Pizzeria was pretty good when I went. It was pricey but satisfied the pizza cravings!
Vietnam’s food
Ganso Ajiho is always a good time
For pizza I like the following.
Kuma Kafe near Kaiyukan.
Imazato Craft Cafe about halfway along the shotengai that starts north of the Imazato station.
For pizzas…
If you are in Osaka today (or any Friday), Imazato Craft Cafe serves amazing pizzas in three styles on Fridays. Better go early, as they might run out.
See more info on their Facebook page, which I can’t link because automod is a fascist.
Pizza bar full house in amemura shinsaibashi is pretty good favorite of mine.
For pizza and beer, I found Pizza Bar Fullhouse pretty good. Imazato has way better beer selection, but as it’s mostly craft, it can get quite expensive.
Depends where in Osaka you’ll be. Tell me where and ill give you some recommendations
How about going to any branch of Kushikatsu Daruma? It’s a chain so there are many branches. It’s Japanese, but basically it’s food on sticks and deep-fried. Western people would love that too.
The one in Shinsaibashi has a train to deliver the food
Shinsaibashi, Ali’s Kitchen. Michelin star Pakistani restaurant
If you just want a quick no fuss meal, Pizzeria da Tigre (ピッツェリア ダ ティグレ) in Shinsaibashi.
More than just pizza, Dal Brigante (ダルブリガンテ) in Fukushima.
HUB kitchen in Oksaka if you enjoy “spice curry” type dishes. You can get everything from curry udon, dry curry kfc style chicken, curry burger, curry hot dog, curry pizza, briyani, and south Asian and Indian curry.
In America town there is a Korea street food stall called Oh My Chicken that sells fried chicken. Good luck, there’s usually a 1 hour waiting time and a really long line up to buy here. If you manage to savor it, you’ll never eat from kfc again.
Saved the best for last… possibly the best Kushikatsu place in Japan is in Osaka and it’s called Yaekatsu, with the variety and that freaking melt in the mouth delicious crispy batter this is clearly my favorite place in Osaka. Take friends with you or meet people at the restaurant and make friends. Very genki atmosphere.

Is Slices still around? I havent been in probably 6 years but always enjoyed it.
This is one, if not the favorite, pork place in Japan for the wife and I. It does ramen, but instead get the pork dish they serve there.

Pretty good BBQ place as well. They had a nice cornbread, albeit a little dry.

Pizza: Échi Ponte Vecchio a Osaka
On the Lucua dining floor.
I hear Bistro New Orleans is great if you’re into authentic Cajun food
Went to a place called サル食堂 in Osaka once.
Their ビーフカツ was very good and very affordable.
Not close to USJ though.
