Osaka, Japan｜Maido-okini-shokudo Naniwa-Nippombashi-shokudo

We stumbled upon this restaurant coming out of the Nihombashi Station (exit right next door) and it was a delightful surprise! This is a cafeteria-style eatery that has a wide variety of home-style dishes at budget-friendly prices. The friendly staff did not speak much English, we had no trouble ordering by pointing to our desired labeled dishes. At the end of the line, we chose our rice portion and helped ourselves to drinks at the table (ice water or hot tea). The Japanese omelette is a must-try, and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the numerous choices available. Grab a tray, select your dishes, and enjoy the cozy ambiance! It’s open 24hrs so you can grab a bite whenever.

Such lovely and homely meals that we came here for breakfast twice!! Conveniently located near the metro for a filling meal before starting a packed itinerary. Each day had a slightly different selection. Tamago and soup are ordered at the counter (along with rice which can be shared if you're a small eater).

Nice quiet restaurant with food you can select yourself. Everything is reasonably priced. Cash only. A good getaway from all the tourists and chaos.
