Monami Western-Style Restaurant

When it comes to hamburger steak in Osaka, this Western-style restaurant is one of the first names that comes up. It stands in a convenient location just a short walk from Osaka Metro's Tanimachi 6-chome Station, and is popular from lunch through dinner. A favorite among local food lovers and tourists alike, this popular restaurant almost always has a line.

The restaurant's signature dish is its hamburger steak, generously made with domestic beef. Especially popular is the hearty set meal that pairs a large hamburger steak with fried shrimp. Every set menu comes with soup, salad, and rice, and another draw is being able to enjoy meat dishes that fully bring out the rich flavor of domestic beef at reasonable prices. Rice dishes also include classic Western-style favorites such as hayashi rice and katsu hayashi rice.

Inside, the restaurant has counter and table seating, making it easy for solo diners and groups alike to stop by. Although it does not accept reservations and is cash only, one of its appealing points is the welcoming atmosphere that makes even first-time visitors feel comfortable. You'll likely need to be prepared to wait in line, but it's well worth it.
