Kani Doraku Hirakata

Food is expensive but unique. Only came here because they got the best but my taste does not much their style. Service super but seeing them handle my shoes and serve my food using that same hand just gave me bad feelings.

Food was pretty good although more on the pricey side. The reason why I rate this place two stars is because of the service from our waitress. Based on her attitude and behaviour she didn’t seem very interested in serving us. Barely explaining what dishes were being brought out and how to eat them. I had better service at McDonalds.

Superb crab soup. price is not for the faint hearted.

I have purchased 4 crab cans but they only give 3 cans to me, what a cheater

A bit pricey but definitely worth your money. The smell around that shop is overwhelmingly decadent. A must for sea food lover.

This place is one of the most popular places for tuorisum. I have been to Osaka three times and finally decide to have try. Booked the seat two weeks in advancr to skip the line (highly recommend). There are great variaty of course you can choose with combination of all crab related dishes. We ordered one big set of course and added few single dishes. Overall not too impressive, other than the steam crab with rice in a small pot. The carb with rice is very good, with very traditional Japanese cooking method. All others I feel they are still good, but not too impressive and the price is a little bit high. So overall if you come to travel and want to experience different dishes with crab, I still recommend. If you come for really good food, then maybe order wisely.

Crab is fresh and large, however raw crab might be too exotic to certain people

Great place for crab themed cuisine. Usually need to reserve or a one hour wait while you shop in Dotonbori.

First off. It is expensive with the cheapest set at ¥5,500 before tax but I guess you’re getting what you are paying for. The service is exceptional even if we are English speaking tourists. It is easily spotted by the huge crab sign on the outside, diagonal from the famous glico man sign. You are able to choose if you wanted a Japanese style sitting or the usual table and chairs The crab are really huge and fresh! I was even able to swop my raw crab for grilled crab as I couldn’t eat raw food. Still an enjoyable dinner although it was pricey.

Good crab restaurant but it is very expensive. You should get their set menu because their a la carte is not worth it.

I was able to eat delicious Japanese food. You can enjoy a lot of menu lineups.

A must try when u u are in Osaka dontonbori! The prices are not exactly cheap, but will be much affordable during lunch. If you are unable to take raw crab, please take note before ordering. Reservation is recommended if you want to dine between 11.30am to 1.30pm.

If you come without reservation, the best time is before lunch time. I tried to come after dinner time, but they are already full booked. The manager suggest us to come around 11 or 12 for lunch to secure our spot

Amazing crab, everything perfectly done. The crab broth used in their various hotpot dishes is divine. Not a fan of raw crab sashimi. But that's my opinion, as I feel cooking brings out the flavor.

A high end "fine dining" crab meal. It was a nice experience trying out different dishes of crab. However, service could be improved. I had a reservation at 11am. Got there on time but saw a long queue for walk-in. They should have a different line for reservations. Overall the food was great, but atmosphere was horrible, not quite their fault though. Too many Chinese tourists (i am a chinese tourist myself) and they just talked way too loud. My suggestion is to not try this branch if you want a better dining experience.
