Dōtombori Arcade
Dōtombori Arcade (Dōtombori Chūō-ku; Namba Station on the Midōsuji, Yotsubashi or Sennichimae subway line) is the heart of Minami, and it's crammed with eateries. This is not the place to go for refined dining, but if you want heaping portions of tasty food in a very casual atmosphere, this place can be a lot of fun. And because it sees a lot of tourists, most of the big restaurants here have English menus.

Genroku Sushi
Of course, Minami is all about shōtengai (shopping arcades) and the Sennichi-Mae Arcade is one of the biggest. In addition to all the pachinko parlours here, you'll find lots of cheap, casual restaurants like Genroku Sushi a bustling automatic sushi place where plates of sushi cost a mere ¥130, and Izumoya an old unagi (eel) specialist that serves tasty dishes like mamushi nami (small unagi over rice) for ¥700, or the larger tokujō (special unagi, ¥1400). It's on the corner with a brownish marble front.

Tonkatsu Ganko
Sometimes you need something a little heavier than noodles and rice, and tonkatsu may be the call. This popular tonkatsu specialist near Namba station is easy to spot with food models in the glass case out front (next to an NTT Docomo shop). There's a picture menu.

Gin Sen
