Vincent Tan: Family-run place with 3 tables of 4 - call to make reservations 2 months ahead. Unagi can sell out before closing time at night - call to reconfirm
Vera VvV: It's so worth visiting if you're in Tenjin! The sweet potato tempura was huge & everything is here is just delicious! Went there at 5pm & still had to wait half an hour for seats. Not for large groups
Vincent Tan: Hot sushi restaurant among the cognoscenti right now. Online bookings 4 months ahead https://www.tablecheck.com/en/shops/sushi-sakai/reserve
Shinnawy: Their Kabayaki boxes are divine go for the biggest (Super deluxe). Their dipping sauce is sensational! We also tried the Umaki (Eel wrapped with omelette) and Kimoyaki (Grilled eel liver). Cash only.
Fuyuhiko Takaya: Here is very popular beef offal pot restaurant among locals. They offers it with reasonable price. But English menu may be not available.
Bahar Ozkan: Everything is absolutely mind blowing. You can pour your own drink and get a 50 yen discount or ask staff for regular price. My favourite food is Uni no Aburi Nikumaki! Awesome restaurant. Must try!
