If you want to have an authentic local food crawl experience, this is the tour guide company for it. Momomi took me through various places, which i think would be near impossible for me to come across on my own. The food was great, the vibe was amazing, interactions with the locals was a big plus, and lastly the guiding by Momomi was really great! The whole session isnt too long. It feels just right. Also it was my first time eating proper sushi, tuna, and fish roe!
Excellent experience....

Solid food tour overall. Our guide was very new and that did show at times, but the experience still accomplished exactly what we needed, helping us comfortably step into small, cozy restaurants and hidden spots that we would have felt too intimidated to enter on our own. For that alone, it was absolutely worth it. The guide was friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly eager to learn. While still gaining experience, I’m confident that will come with time. If you’re looking for a way to explore lesser-known restaurants and focus primarily on the food experience, I’d recommend this tour.
Had a great time on food tour

Our guide (Shehab) was awesome. He took us to 4 dinner spots plus dessert on idea what the names were but he stood in line for us and / or got us into the restraints without any wait. My personal favorite was the bbq chicken place we went to. Would highly recommend!

I had a very pleasant time touring around with Sue. She was a great guide who took the time to educate me about Osaka cuisine, while also showing me around the neighbourhood. Sue was friendly and a natural teacher!
Great local spots!

Wonderful and authentic experience! Our group enjoyed a variety of foods - some familiar to us, and others we have never heard of before! We were impressed by the local gems we would have not otherwise found, and enjoyed walking between locations in the vibrant night. Some of the restaurants / vendors had confusion with our order or payment, but our guide was so helpful with communication. I would love to go again!
Not Worth It

Best to save your money and walk around Dontonbori yourself to explore. With no food or drinks included in the tour, it's just paying someone to walk you around to spots they sponsor and eat with you as you pay for your meal. Tour guide was nice,m but the experience is no worth booking.
Terrific, lots of excitement
