Kids Restaurants in Osaka
Japanese food in general is not what you'd call kid-friendly. But in Osaka you can find places where younger palates will eat well - if you open their minds, they'll open their mouths. (Or, failing that, there are plenty of American-style standbys.) Kids will have fun at Gyukaku, where they can grill their own meal. Located in the Hep Navio shopping center, it specializes in Korean-style grilled meat that you throw onto your own grill. Cui-daore is famous for its clown model outside the front door, which began beating a drum and wiggling its eyebrows shortly after the place first opened in 1950. The restaurant's name means "eat your way to bankruptcy," in reference to the Osakan joy of eating. Bubba Gump is a safe bet for more traditional appetites, as is the Hard Rock Cafe. For a lot of choices in one place, check out Windows on the World, a buffet with 40 main dishes and a stunning view. It will take the kids' breath away - as will the food in some of the more exotic Osaka eateries - but if you do a little research you'll find kid-friendly restaurants to keep the young ones happy.
