Shin-Sen-Gumi Chanko is an extremely popular and busy hot spot with a lively atmosphere that can transport diners to late nights in Osaka. Be prepared to wait even on a weekday, as it can sell out of daily items quickly and a two-hour wait is possible later on; coming at opening time is recommended. The restaurant offers an awesome take on Japanese cuisine, featuring delicious yakitori skewers like chicken thigh, beef tongue, and shishito, each with a nice char. The shio ramen and, of course, the braised pork belly are also standout dishes. The food is great and arrives fresh, with skewers arriving fast, though some note that other orders can come out very slowly. The service can be inconsistent, with servers sometimes seeming inexperienced or overwhelmed, leading to mistakes. The draft beer is crisp and cold, and the vibe is lively without being chaotic, good for small groups. It is a place with more locals than influencers, where you can sit at the bar and watch the grill. Despite the occasional service frustration, the delicious food at reasonable prices makes it a best meal for many, and a place diners will definitely be back to soon.
