Osaka, Japan｜大阪焼肉 焼肉Lab 難波店

I had the best beef that I’ve experienced in my 3 week trip to Japan at this BBQ place! We got the premium all you can eat package and the cuts of meat were amazing. As someone who doesn’t speak a lot of Japanese, the menu was a little hard to go through as the Japanese to English translations on the phone ordering app weren’t the best but we still managed! I did feel like it was a little strange to only be able to order a few things at a time, but I won’t knock on that aspect too hard. Staff were very friendly and explained everything very well. I think this meal is well worth the price for what you get, and you are even able to smoke at your table which I found as a plus.

This place is phenomenal!! Definitely one of my favorite social drink and eat spots in Japan, especially if you are looking for a good vibe with friends. The staff is so sweet and kind. The all-you-can-drink is a great deal. And the meat is very affordable (al a cart) when sharing with friends. They include a few items to grill (mushroom, squash, peppers) with the meat for free. The drinks are phenomenal. Would recommend the sours with fruit especially for my girlies (berry, orange, and pear specifically). They also offer a strawberry with cream at the end. Have been to quite a few restaurants with similar concepts around major Japanese cities, and it beats out most of them. Although it isn’t exactly the hole in the wall vibe if you’re looking for that, but a great change of pace. Lots of locals. Wish I had something like this back home!

One of the best meat i ever have. Absolutely melting in your mouth from the first to the last bite. Must try in namba.
