It is located in the fanciest area of Osaka, high end for real. Very near the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. I could make a reservation in english from the hotel. The place was hard to find because there are three buildings with the same name, one for business, other for shopping and the last one is the Xex West elevator. The... More

I was so happy to return to XEX Umeda after the 2 previous excellent experiences I had there but got disappointed this time by the service. The staff is cold, no smile on their face, hurried, pushy to get more orders and looked upset to see that I "only" spent about 4000 JPY for 2 cocktails... We were even not... More

If you are looking for a place to enjoy the stunning Osaka night view, this restaurant is for you. The food tastes good and the place has a very cosmopolitan atmosphere. As a sweet lover, I would recommend their custard pudding which really taste like the real thing. The pizzas also taste good and they offer a very wide choice... More

There are a lot of awesome places to eat in Osaka, but this is NOT one of them. Unless you are a Japanese businessman trying to impress someone. We ate at the Aburiyaki & Sushi An bar area of the restaurant and we found the food/sushi to be 'just ok' and definitely not worth the high price. We did two... More

We were warmly welcomed by a friendly gentleman at the elevator. We did not make reservations, but... More

Love the atmosphere on evening time, the live performance, the service, the drinks, the decor.. Everything which makes me spend a wonderful time every time I go Tips; surprise your friends/lovers for their birthday and ask the musician for a song. Although pricy with 3000JPY (including a cake), the WOW effect is guaranteed

Wow. I found this place looking for sushi in Osaka. I was a little skeptikal as I was lead to a highrise building. I made it up the elevator and as soon as I entered the Restaurant I was transformed into a different World. There was a swanky bar with a black man playing piano; singing. Japanese power couples sat... More
