“I want to eat some hearty meat in Namba.”
“I’m looking for something that’s uniquely Osaka and makes an impact.”


In response to such requests, Mallory pork steak is now gradually gaining attention .

It’s not beef steak or pork cutlet.
The main attraction is a “super thick pork steak . “

The visual appeal of the shop makes you want to pick up your smartphone the moment you see it, and
the careful cooking that is unique to Japan has led to an increase in the number of foreign tourists visiting the shop
in recent years .


Three reasons why Mallory Pork Steak is so popular

As the name suggests, this restaurant specializes in pork steaks. Thickly sliced ​​pork is cooked at low temperature and then grilled after the order is placed , resulting in a juicy inside and a fragrant outside.
The menu is divided into popular cuts by weight, allowing you to choose the portion you want (a wide range of sizes available, from 200g to 2kg).
Located inside the food area of ​​Namba CITY, it’s convenient to stop by between sightseeing and shopping .

① Overwhelming visuals – Thick slices = justice
