Yuu is a Japanese restaurant in the basement of the Toei Building in Dotonbori, operated under the "ryouribito" (cook) identity. Its position - a minute from the Dotonbori river - puts it in the heart of the district, while the basement room keeps the experience focused and quiet. The kitchen turns out seasonal Japanese dishes, the kind of proper sit-down fare that suits a small group dinner or a special-occasion meal rather than a quick bite between sights. Reservations are advisable given the counter-style scale of the room. For a considered Japanese meal at the centre of Dotonbori, Yuu offers a counter-led, seasonal alternative to the district's louder izakaya.Operating Hours

My son found this for us via google reviews, and we were not disappointed. We showed up as he opened, and it was a one man show for the first hour. Very friendly, language was not a problem (we speak English) and the food speaks for itself. He is an excellent chef and picks wonderful fish. You will not be disappointed.

A small shop in the basement at Dotonbori. Highly recommend: grilled mackerel (depends on the market), deep-fried white shrimp, roasted green tea ice cream with deep-fried sweet potatoes, and potato salad with pickled capsicum. It's definitely the best meal we've had in Osaka. Plus, the owner/chef is really friendly
