Ryu Ter Hua at Go Dotonbori

A Chinese restaurant on Shinsaibashisuji serving familiar East Asian dishes in the middle of Osaka’s main shopping arcade.

Ryu Ter Hua occupies a spot on Shinsaibashisuji, the covered shopping arcade that links Namba and Shinsaibashi. The restaurant serves Chinese-style dishes in a straightforward, family-friendly dining room.

Expect classics such as stir-fries, noodle dishes and rice plates, with set menus at lunch and à-la-carte options in the evening. Portions are generous and prices sit in the mid-range for the area.

It is a good alternative if you want a change from Japanese cuisine without leaving the arcade, and the central location makes it easy to find after a day of browsing shops.
