I love Osaka. Don't really have anything critical to say. Great food, great service. I put "moderately noisy" because I typically like to sit outside and sometimes the traffic on that street can get a bit noisy, but even then rarely have had issues with it not being noisy. They gave me free mochi ice cream for my birthday that I wasn't expecting and it was very good!
