About this place
One memorable moment reported by a diner at Live Kitchen COOKA was having roast beef carved right in front of them. The same diner praised the tenderness of the meat and recalled being asked by a staff member to wait for a fresh batch of fried chicken. Menu listings include roast beef served at lunch with Hokkaido-grown wasabi sauce, as well as zangi, a style of fried chicken—options that may appeal whether you’re after a live-kitchen dish or a familiar chicken favourite.
The menu ranges across several cuisines. Listings include Hokkaido salmon chanchan-yaki, miso ramen and scallops with corn in browned-butter soy sauce, alongside dinner nigiri sushi and a creamy salmon-and-mushroom pasta available at dinner only. Another diner mentioned pâté and quiche among the themed dishes on offer during their visit, as well as dinner-only sea bream and wakame shabu-shabu, served at the table with broth. Themes and dishes change over time, so check ahead if there’s something in particular you’d like to try.
Dessert options include Hokkaido milk pudding with caramel sauce, haskap jelly with berries and gelato in 10 flavours. One diner singled out the kiwi-banana gelato. Sampling a little at a time before choosing something sweet is part of the flexibility of a buffet.
For breakfast, diners have mentioned enjoying the view from a window seat, freshly squeezed orange juice and miso soup with a choice of ingredients. The restaurant is on the 19th floor of Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel, with breakfast, lunch and dinner service.
