Tasty place but overpriced for the portion size and quality of ingredients. Although they do use quality ingredients, you’re paying about 25% more because of the high-rent location and atmosphere. Definitely more for business dinners than locals. With that said, the service was friendly and I did enjoy some dishes but I could also hear them talking shit about me in the kitchen thinking I couldn’t understand.

Beautiful service and food!
Stylish decoration restaurant with super friendly staff, the boss-sommelier-entertainer is so cool!

I will come back really soon.

I recommend the Japanese sake. All the dishes are delicious and go well with alcohol. The spring rolls and fluffy fried mehikari were especially shocking. Karasumi mochi was of course exquisite and delicious.
There is a wide variety of drinks available and you can have a good time, but the prices are high.

大阪北新地「食堂たのし」

気さくでオモロい店主のいる、何食べても旨いお店！

お造り盛合せの雲丹はどんだけ甘いねんと思うやつでした。
世界２位の手羽先唐揚げは野口太郎さんのが1番だからとか。昆布汁に漬け込んだ百日鶏は少し口に含むだけで旨みがぶっしゃーなやつ。
黒毛和牛ビフカツは店主が歯が入らんやつですとオススメ。歯があるけど注文(≧∀≦)箸で掴むだけでちぎれるほど。デミソースも絶妙に旨い！
カラスミは酒が進み過ぎるのでやめとくべき一品(≧∀≦）

ちょいちょい店主がボケをかましてくるのがオモロい(^^)

また行きたいお店が増えました(≧∀≦)

Osaka Kitashinchi “Shokudo Tanoshi”

A restaurant with a friendly and funny owner, where everything you eat is delicious!

The sea urchin in the sashimi platter made me wonder how sweet it was.
Taro Noguchi's is the No. 2 fried chicken wing in the world. The 10day chicken marinated in kelp soup is bursting with flavor just by putting it in your mouth.
The owner recommends the Kuroge Wagyu Beef Beef Cutlet if you can't get your teeth into it. Even though I have teeth, I can tear the order (≧∀≦) just by grabbing it with chopsticks. The demi sauce is also exquisitely delicious!
Karasumi is a dish that you should avoid as it drinks too much alcohol (≧∀≦)

It's funny how the shop owner makes fun of me every now and then (^^)

The number of shops I want to go to has increased (≧∀≦)

接客が、芸人！楽しくて、美味しい店

店名にある「たのし」は、楽しいなのか…これほどデートに相応しいお店ってと考えてみても、浮かばないなーって、考えてました^ ^

自分の中でも行きたい店になりました(^^)。

お料理は、食材にこだわりのある品物という事で、それぞれに書いてある。メニューにオススメが付いていて、中でも酢豚と言う方も多い様ですが、ビフカツは、歯がなくても食べれるクォリティでした！

メニューを細かく書くよりも是非とも予約していく方が良いです。カウンターも良いですが、関係の浅い異性と日曜日あたりに利用すると、楽しくて距離感がグッと近くなる感じがしちゃいます。

場所は、北新地にある新ダイビルの2階でした^ ^。

Customer service is like a comedian! A fun and delicious restaurant

I was wondering if the word "tanoshi" in the store's name means fun...Even when I tried to think of a restaurant that would be suitable for a date, I couldn't think of one ^ ^

It has become a store that I want to go to (^^).

Each dish is written with special attention to ingredients. There are recommendations on the menu, and many people say the sweet and sour pork, but the beef cutlet was of such quality that you could eat it even if you didn't have teeth!

It is better to make a reservation than to write a detailed menu. The counter is nice, but if you use it on Sundays with someone you don't have a relationship with, it's fun and you feel like you're getting closer.

The location was on the 2nd floor of the Shin Dai Building in Kitashinchi ^ ^.
