About this place
If you like to share kimchi and namul alongside grilled meat, Yakiniku Kawa lets you build a lively table with Korean side dishes and other small plates. Diners have mentioned being served four dishes, including kimchi and namul, at the start of the meal, and asking for more. Another diner remarked that the portions were substantial for the price, and enjoyed the harami and kalbi.
The yakiniku menu includes tongue with salt, harami, kalbi and loin. Some diners found the salted tongue thick and juicy; others liked that it was not too thick, so impressions differ. There are also positive comments from people who ordered harami and kalbi. One approach is to choose a few cuts you like and pair them with side dishes. The samgyeopsal set comes with lettuce, sesame leaves, garlic and choregi salad, making it a convenient choice if you want to wrap the meat in leaves. Beyond yakiniku, the menu includes seafood jeon, gamja-jeon, samgyetang and stone-pot bibimbap.
For something cooked in a pot, Ossam bulgogi is another option. Pork, squid and vegetables are cooked with kimchi in a sweet-and-spicy gochujang broth; rice is added at the end to make a scorched fried rice. It offers a different way to enjoy the ingredients, with rice to finish, rather than a meal built around grilling meat.
Yakiniku Kawa is in Nishimagawa, Higashisumiyoshi Ward, Osaka. It offers lunch and dinner menus, making it an option for Korean food or yakiniku at lunchtime, or a more leisurely evening meal with a beer or other drink.
