Adventure at Mario-themed Restaurant in Universal Studios Japan

When visiting Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, you absolutely cannot miss the Mario-themed restaurant in Super Nintendo World! As soon as you step through the door, you'll feel like you've been transported to the Mushroom Kingdom. Giant Piranha Plants, walls made of coin blocks, and pipe-shaped chairs—all corners of the restaurant are meticulously designed to replicate the game scenes. Even the placemats feature maps from the Mario Brothers games. The staff, dressed as Toad, greet you warmly, adding a touch of charm to the experience. Pro tip: wear bright-colored clothes for photos that look straight out of a game poster. The food here is equally impressive! The Mushroom Meat Sauce Pasta features springy noodles coated in a vibrant red sauce, topped with a juicy, flavorful mushroom. The Mario Brothers Burger is a delight with its cheesy, juicy patty and thick bun, which is stamped with Mario's face—so cute you might hesitate to take a bite. Don't miss the Super Star Drink, a blue gradient soda with edible star-shaped glitter—it's a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. For reservations, make sure to book your park entry ticket in advance via the USJ app, and then reserve your spot at the restaurant based on your entry time (restaurant hours are 9am - 8pm; double-check on the day of your visit). You can also scan the QR code at the restaurant entrance to book, but be prepared for crowds during peak seasons. Visiting Universal Studios Japan? The Mario-themed restaurant is a must-visit top spot. Bring your appetite and your camera—it's time to dive in!
