Why Travelers Love Dotonbori Riverside
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Great place, Rena is an amazing member of staff, she really looked after us and brought our drinks and food swiftly. This bar & restaurant have great views, and u can book river tours. The food was amazing and delicious, and we will be back tomorrow for more 💯 I had a wonderful experience at Dontonburi Riverside Grill Wonder in Osaka! The location is perfect—right by the water—so you get a beautiful view while you eat, especially in the evening when the river lights up with the city’s energy. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming, and most spoke english for those who dont speak japanese, which made the atmosphere feel relaxed and enjoyable. The food itself was delicious, with great flavors and quality that matched the setting. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka who wants good food with a view! OMG THE BEST TIME EVER! Yaka, Santa and Daishi or Daishu (apologies i was drinking…) were the best ever!!!!!! I did also forget to ask for the chefs name who make us delicious food. If you’re ever in Dontonbori and do not know where to go - GO HERE! Right by the water for views and for the smokers (they have tables where you can smoke) They speak great English and take the time to explain everything. Honestly felt like I was back home in Toronto vibes 🥰

We've been here for two days in a row now and it's a great place to sit. It's beside the canal so you've got a nice refreshing breeze. Drinks are very good and not expensive and the food is really good as well. Service is great as well. The second day we were served by Santa and he's a really great guy. Speaks very good English and makes a little fun chat when he comes to your table. They're also very fast when you ring the bell and the drinks are there in a couple of minutes if not less. If you're looking for a place to wind down after a long day and have some drinks or a bite this is the place. 10/10
