Yakiniku Rikimaru Namba Review 2026: Wagyu All-You-Can-Eat
Craving wagyu in Osaka? Discover Yakiniku Rikimaru Namba Minatomachi, a top-tier all-you-can-eat spot. Here is how we scored a table for seven without a booking!
Yakiniku Rikimaru
Namba Minatomachi Branch
All-You-Can-Eat Wagyu
5 adults and 2 kids
headed out for some all-you-can-eat Yakiniku!
We visited Rikimaru Namba Minatomachi.
Pro tip: definitely make a reservation on Google beforehand!
When I checked Google Reservation,
there were absolutely no spots available
until 9 PM...
But since it was a weekday,
we decided to just show up and try our luck.
And guess what?
They initially said there were no tables,
but then told us they could accommodate our group of 7!
So we waited a bit,
and got super lucky
to enjoy this amazing
all-you-can-eat Yakiniku feast!
The place was absolutely packed,
and tons of walk-ins kept coming in,
only to be turned away
because there were no free tables.
It's located on the 2nd floor of the building right across.
After walking up the narrow stairs
on the right side,
we noticed the indoor waiting area was quite small.
They asked if we wanted to look around and come back
or just wait there,
and we chose to wait inside.
Luckily, there were about 7 chairs to sit on!
They collect a deposit of 1,000 yen (~$7),
which is fully refunded
once you order.
For payment,
they accept both cash and credit cards!
Pricing
Standard 90-min course: 3,498 yen (~$23) | Premium: 4,158 yen (~$27) | Minatomachi course: 5,478 yen (~$36)
Standard 120-min course: 3,828 yen (~$25) | Premium: 4,480 yen (~$29) | Minatomachi course: 5,808 yen (~$38)
These prices already include tax.
We let them know in advance that
the kids in our group were 5 and 10 years old.
Kids aged 3–5 eat for just 770 yen (~$5),
and kids aged 6–11 get a 50% discount!
The main difference between the three options
is the quality and selection of meat.
The Minatomachi course is the one
that offers the premium all-you-can-eat Wagyu!
We went with the 90-minute
Minatomachi course.
The seven of us
dived into the 90-minute Wagyu course
and ate to our hearts' content...
It's a fantastic value-for-money spot!
The side dishes are
incredibly diverse,
and I loved that we could keep ordering them!
If you don't go for
the all-you-can-drink alcohol
or soft drink options,
everyone
in our group of 7
had to order
at least one individual drink,
so I initially worried it might get pricey.
But with such mouthwatering Wagyu
and side dishes
that we could keep ordering within the time limit,
I thought it was
actually an amazing deal!
The Menu
They pride themselves on serving
top-tier A5 grade Wagyu!
Japanese Wagyu is
so beautifully marbled
that it literally melts in your mouth
and is incredibly tender.
Meat
Dolsot bibimbap
Cold noodles, Korean pancakes (jeon)
Seafood (shrimp, scallops, squid)
Horumon (offal/tripe)
Sundubu (soft tofu stew)
Lettuce wraps
Seaweed soup
And! Kimchi,
pickled cucumbers, and more—
which was so great!
Even ice cream and desserts
are available in wide variety.
You can keep ordering
all these side dishes!
They also have a really diverse
selection of drinks.
We ordered easily
using a tablet
that supports English,
so we got exactly what we wanted!
Time actually flies by,
and since you have to grill and eat at the same time,
one person should keep ordering quickly
while another keeps grilling!
Since the meat
can get a little rich,
we ate it with kimchi to balance it out.
The Seating
All 7 of us sat together.
There are lots of 4-seater booths,
and they even have tables for up to 10 people!
The Food
The meat literally melts in your mouth!
It was absolutely delicious.
Since there were 7 of us,
we constantly and endlessly
ordered more Wagyu!
We ordered some side dishes
and even dessert,
making sure to enjoy every single bite!
Since the veggies are also unlimited refills,
we happily paired them with the meat.
The table next to us
drank about... 20 beers?
Their table was literally
overflowing with empty glasses!
When it came to paying,
we used our card.
We had ordered one drink each
and a bottle of soju,
but they accidentally added a beer we didn't order.
So we got it corrected
and paid the
correct amount!
Make sure to double-check your receipt! ^^
Total: 33,649 JPY
It came out to around ~$198
The restaurant itself
has a bit of an old-school, vintage vibe,
but we had a truly
delicious and satisfying meal!
