koreatown osaka and shin okubo

anyone have suggestions for spots in both koreatown in Osaka and koreatown in Tokyo?

I've been to a bunch of great places in Shin Okubo with korean friends but don't remember the names of any of them!

anyone?

What kind of spots? Restaurants? Bars?

both work!

but the usual eat / drink spots are fine!

That's the spirit!

Myondon in Okubo is known for their great futomaki, but I really like their stir-fried pork. Open 24 hours a day! http://www.bento.com/rev/3681.html

Ozakkyo has great barbecued pork and a very festive atmosphere: http://www.bento.com/rev/3678.html

Festina Lente isn't really a full-on Korean bar (i.e. no makkoli), but they show K-Pop on the big screen and have many Korean customers and bartenders. http://www.bento.com/rev/3683.html

If you do want interesting makkoli (and great grilled pork, a running theme here), venture a bit further south to Tejimaul in Nishi-Shinjuku: http://bento.com/rev/2561.html

Sorry, can't help with Osaka.

thanks for the suggestions!

You're welcome!

Though I have never visited there, Tsuruhashi in Osaka is said to have Korean Town.

And there is Ikuno Korea town.

I'm aware of Tsuruhashi and Ikuno. Anyone have recommendations to specific spots in Osaka?
