What to order: Samgyeopsal all-you-can-eat + drink course (¥4,500 per person)
The second floor is set up specifically for large-group banquets, with the whole floor available for private hire. The all-you-can-eat courses and banquet packages are designed for everything from student parties to corporate dinners. The samgyeopsal here is marinated in a red-wine-based sauce with aromatics and fruit — noticeably more complex than the plain pork belly you’ll find at cheaper spots. At ¥4,500 all-in with drinks, it’s one of the best-value group options in the neighbourhood.

What to order: Daito Miraku Course with 2-hour all-you-can-drink (¥7,000 per person) — salted beef tongue, harami, and black wagyu assortment.
Daito Miraku can accommodate up to 50 guests and is one of the most-searched large-group yakiniku spots near Tsuruhashi Station. The flagship course leads with salted tongue and harami before moving into black wagyu cuts — solid quality for the price point. Book the ¥7,000 course if your group wants a proper spread; the ¥8,000 tier adds premium tongue and extra wagyu cuts.

📋 Tabelog
What to order: Thick-cut tongue and fresh yukhoe course (¥5,000–¥8,000 per person)
The course featuring thick-cut tongue and fresh yukhoe is the standout, and the restaurant is within walking distance of both Tsuruhashi and Momodani stations — handy if your group is coming from different directions. Tatami seating and a relaxed pace make this one of the better options when you want a proper sit-down meal rather than a rushed banquet. To explore more of Tsuruhashi, this neighbourhood has far more going on than just the market strip.
5. Ari no Ie (アリの家)
📍 2-8-9 Tsuruhashi, Ikuno-ku, Osaka
🕐 Mon–Sun 17:00–23:30 (as of May 2026)

What to order: Ari no Ie banquet course with abalone porridge (¥3,000 per person)
The Ari no Ie banquet course — which includes the house specialty abalone porridge — is one of the most recommended options for farewell and welcome parties in the area. The ¥3,000 entry point makes it the most accessible group option on this list, and the Korean home-cooking style means the food feels genuinely made rather than mass-produced. Groups of 10 or more can book the full floor.
6. Kikkouya Tsuruhashi (貴鶏屋 鶴橋)

🕐 Mon–Sun 17:00–23:30 (closed Wed) (as of May 2026)

The chicken hot pot course runs ¥4,500 with 120 minutes of all-you-can-drink, and the table time is a generous three hours. Charcoal-grilled yakitori from ¥109 per skewer keeps things moving while you wait for the pot to come to the boil.

📍 3-11-5 Higashikobashi, Higashinari-ku, Osaka
🕐 Mon–Sun 17:00–23:00 (as of May 2026)

What to order: Jinanbo Grand Course — 8 dishes with 2-hour all-you-can-drink (¥4,500 per person)
The Jinanbo Grand Course covers eight dishes with two hours of all-you-can-drink included at ¥4,500. The izakaya format — Japanese pub food rather than Korean BBQ — makes this the right pick when your group has mixed tastes and not everyone wants to sit around a grill. Birthday and anniversary groups can request a message dessert plate, candles, and a lighting change, which is a nice touch if you’re celebrating.
FAQ
Q: What is the best group dining restaurant in Tsuruhashi, Osaka?
A: For quality yakiniku with private rooms, Ajiyoshi Sohonten is the standout — it’s been running since 1970, ages its wagyu in-house, and the group courses are genuinely well-structured. For the best value, Richouen’s all-you-can-eat samgyeopsal course at ¥4,500 with drinks is hard to beat for a party of six or more.
Q: How many group dining restaurants are in Tsuruhashi?
A: Tsuruhashi and the immediately surrounding streets (Higashikobashi, Momodani) have well over 30 restaurants that accept banquet bookings for 10 or more. They cluster most densely within a five-minute walk of Tsuruhashi Station on both the JR and Kintetsu sides, with a secondary cluster near Momodani Station.
Q: Do Tsuruhashi restaurants have English menus?
A: Honestly, most don’t — Tsuruhashi is a working local neighbourhood, not a tourist strip. Richouen and Ajiyoshi Sohonten both have some English-language information online and staff accustomed to non-Japanese guests. For the others, Google Translate’s camera function works well on printed menus, and most group courses are fixed-price so ordering is straightforward.
Q: What should I order at group dining restaurants in Osaka?
A: In Tsuruhashi specifically, samgyeopsal (thick-cut pork belly grilled at the table) and yakiniku courses built around wagyu tongue and harami are the go-to choices. For something different, the Korean hot pot formats — budae jjigae (army stew) and nakkobbse (octopus, tripe, and prawn) — are excellent for groups and come in large shared pots.
