Came across Osaka Ohsho at the basement of Raffles City the other day and just randomly decided to pick it for dinner.

While it is more open-concept than your average restaurant, space is definitely a highly-prized commodity with fellow dinners sitting less than an arm's length to both sides. So private conversations are probably a difficult thing to manage here.
Osaka Osho translates to 'The King of Gyoza in Osaka' and as you would expect, the restaurant boasts of handmade gyoza as their specialty. The filling is wrapped in the restaurant's special wonton wrapper which is much thinner than what I usually get elsewhere, letting you bite into the juicy insides without having to get through too much dough. Loved the golden brown sear on the gyoza!
To go with my gyoza, I had the fried chicken. Served in bite-sized chunks, the crispy fried chicken were literally nuggets of indulgences, with that aftertaste of ginger that really wakes up the palate.
I would go further to recommend that diners pick up the restaurant's offer for additional chilli oil at just $1 for a small servings. A blend of chilli, some herbs and spice as well as chilli oil, the concoction was reminiscent of the seasoning that went with instant noodle brand, Chu Qian Yi Ding. For those who usually have a hard time finishing their bowl of rice, maybe this would help!
At $10.90 for a set meal including a main course, gyoza, rice and miso soup, I'd think that Osaka Ohsho offers a great value deal. So if you're looking for a good place in town for even dinner, give it a go! Post
