点评:Dotonbori is often call the "Times Square of Osaka" that captures the city's lively, food-obsessed, and unpretentious culture. Personally, I've visited Time Square multiple times and would definitely pick Dotonbori. Here, you will find all foods that represent Osaka. There's a saying "If you're in Osaka, you must try Takoyaki". Though you can find restaurants/stall that serve Takoyaki (even in US), they're just not the same. Perhaps the atmosphere makes difference, but watching how they're made is definitely not the same elsewhere especially in US.
There are quite a few restaurants we went and some does have a branch locations (or even the main one), but you should try to experience when you're in Dotonbori. I have written separate reviews so I hope you'll read them. Evening is my recommended time to come here as you'll be able to experience the dazzling neon lights. Most are street food but they are world-class.
翻译:道顿堀常被誉为“大阪的时代广场”,完美展现了这座城市充满活力、热爱美食且不矫揉造作的文化。我个人去过时代广场好几次,但绝对会选择道顿堀。在这里,你能找到所有代表大阪的美食。有句俗话说“来大阪一定要尝尝章鱼烧”。虽然在美国也能找到卖章鱼烧的餐厅或摊位,但味道却截然不同。或许氛围有所不同,但亲眼目睹章鱼烧的制作过程,尤其是在美国,绝对是无法比拟的。
我们去过不少餐厅,其中一些还有分店(甚至总店),但你一定要在来到道顿堀的时候亲自体验一番。我已经写过几篇单独的评论,希望你能看看。我推荐晚上来这里,因为那时你能欣赏到璀璨的霓虹灯。这里的大部分都是街头小吃,但味道都堪称世界一流。
