As indicated in Japanese by [the link that l'électeur posted in the
comment](https://www.hotpepper.jp/strJ001036886/), the name is a bit long:

  * 串【くし】カツ天下茶屋【てんがちゃや】 カメちゃん 天王寺店【てんのうじてん】

Names of stores that end in ～店 often indicate that this is a branch of a
chain. In the above Japanese, the 天王寺店【てんのうじてん】 on the end tells us that this
is the "Tennōji store". That matches what you've told us about this place.

[Here's a Google search that also spits out the name in _romaji_ (the Latin
alphabet)](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A1%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%93%22+%E5%B1%85%E9%85%92%E5%B1%8B).

  * Kushikatsu-tengachaya Kamechan Kyobashi

For this one, it's the branch located in the Kyobashi neighborhood.

So it's clearly a chain. The full name of the chain, cleaned up a bit from
Google's simple rendering and minus branch / location, would be **Kushikatsu
Tengachaya Kame-chan**. Breaking this down into its parts:

  * _Kushi_ = skewers, _katsu_ = deep-fried meat cutlets, so _kushikatsu_ = fried meat on sticks. ([English Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushikatsu))
  * _Tengachaya_ is an area in Osaka, probably where the chain first started. ([Japanese Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushikatsu); there isn't an English article about the area, but [there is one about the train station](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengachaya_Station))
  * _Kame-chan_ is a name or nickname, where _kame_ = "turtle" (apparently a feminine given name, [if this ENAMDICT entry is correct](http://nihongo.monash.edu/cgi-bin/wwwjdic?2MUJ%E4%BA%80)), and _-chan_ is a a suffix put on names to show endearment ([WWWJDICT entry](http://nihongo.monash.edu/cgi-bin/wwwjdic?1MUJ%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%93))

The long name can probably be shortened to just _Kame-chan_ , so long as you
make it clear that you're talking about the restaurant and not a person named
_Kame_.
