About New Astoria
A no-frills kissaten in Senri Chuo since 1970, serving breakfast and lunch under 1,000 JPY—katsu sandos, egg sandwiches, house coffee in a functional basement arcade. Walk-ins only, cash only, closed Thursday; it earned Tabelog 100 Kissaten recognition for consistent execution, not innovation. Best for solo diners or quick pre-travel meals near Shin-Osaka.
New Astoria is a low-priced venue in Osaka with verified hours from 8 AM to 3:30 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, closures on Wednesday and Thursday. Its verified price band is JPY 999–JPY 999. For travelers exploring Osaka's broader restaurant scene, the useful confirmed facts are simple: plan around daytime hours, do not plan for Wednesday or Thursday, expect an inexpensive stop rather than a long evening meal.
What the Award Signals
New Astoria appears on the Tabelog 100 - Kissaten - 2022 list. That recognition places it within Tabelog's kissaten category for that year, but the verified record here does not support additional claims about exact scores, rankings, founding history, signature dishes, seating, payment rules, or reservation policy.
For a first visit, treat the award as a useful signal of recognition rather than a complete description of the experience. The verified information supports New Astoria as an Osaka venue with a 2022 Tabelog Kissaten 100 listing, daytime hours, a sub-1,000 JPY price band. Other details should be checked directly before making plans.
Practical Fit and Limitations

The verified price is JPY 999–JPY 999, which places it in a very low price band. Beyond that, specific claims about menu items, dietary accommodations, take-out, delivery, payment methods, seating, queues, or reservations are not verified here and should not be assumed.
For visitors comparing options, New Astoria can be considered alongside other named venues such as Kissa Ichi, AT THE 21, Sakura Grill, Nick&Renée Toyonaka honten, or Soba-ya Kida, depending on what is convenient and currently open. For broader planning, use Osaka as the location reference rather than relying on unverified neighborhood, station, or building details.

Among Toyonaka's Tabelog-recognized venues, this kissaten occupies the lowest price tier. Kissa Ichi matches the sub-1,000 JPY breakfast range but draws a younger crowd with seasonal fruit sandos and Instagram-friendly plating. If aesthetics matter, Kissa Ichi wins; if speed and reliability are the priority, the 1970 opening date and unchanged menu here deliver predictability. Sakura Grill sits at 4,000 JPY for dinner, targeting izakaya-style group dining rather than solo breakfast runs, different occasion, different budget.
Soba-ya Kida and Nick&Ren;ée Toyonaka honten both hover around 2,000 JPY, offering lunch sets with more variety (soba, Western-Japanese fusion). If you want options beyond sandwiches, either provides broader menus at double the cost. AT THE 21 mirrors this venue's 1,000 JPY price point but skews toward café culture, longer hours, Wi-Fi-friendly seating, lighter fare. Choose AT THE 21 for afternoon work sessions; choose the kissaten for a quick morning fill-up before exploring Osaka.
For value-focused travelers, the under-1,000 JPY breakfast here undercuts most hotel buffets and chains. The trade-off is menu depth: two signature sandwiches versus a rotating breakfast spread. If you're comparing Toyonaka options by ease of access, the direct station connection makes this the fastest stop pre-Shinkansen; Kissa Ichi requires a 10-minute walk from its nearest station. For splurge-worthy dining in Osaka, none of these venues compete, reserve budget for the city's Michelin-starred tier instead.
