On a Sunday lunchtime, I visited "Teishoku Kissaten EIYO" located about a 3-minute walk from Takamiya Station on the Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line. As the name suggests, this cafe specializes in homemade dishes that are rich in "nutrition". **Store** The cafe is located on the second floor of an apartment building called "Asada-so" that is over 60 years old, situated in a quiet residential area. There is no signboard outside. Upon opening the door, the friendly female owner greeted us with a warm "Welcome". The renovated interior has a cozy atmosphere with bright wood accents. You can hear the pleasant sound of frying coming from the kitchen. It is very comfortable. The seating consists of a counter with five seats surrounding the kitchen in an L-shape, and about three tables for two. When we arrived around 2 pm, the place was about 80% full. We were seated at the counter. **Menu** The basic menu includes Masala Curry Teishoku, Chicken Nanban Teishoku, and Grilled Mackerel Teishoku. Additionally, there is a weekend-only daily special teishoku. On this day, it was a tomato-based simmered hamburger. All teishoku come with miso soup, two small side dishes, and a salad. Although I was tempted by the daily special, I ordered the Masala Curry Teishoku for 1,200 yen. Since the owner runs the place alone, the service is a bit slow. It took about 15 minutes for our order to arrive. Let's dig in. **Masala Curry** Beautiful presentation! It whets the appetite! I was expecting strong spices in the Masala Curry, but it was mild. However, it was not lacking in flavor, with just the right amount of spice that anyone can enjoy. The tender chicken pieces were plentiful. The fried onions, cilantro, and spices added accents that kept it interesting throughout the meal. The shiny rice was delicious. Truly the work of a teishoku restaurant. **Salad** The salad served alongside the curry was also generous in portion. The crunchy vegetables with fried onions were a nice touch. **Side Dishes** The side dishes included simmered root vegetables and simmered hijiki seaweed. The simmered root vegetables had daikon radish, lotus root, green beans, and pumpkin. They were lightly seasoned but well-prepared. The simmered hijiki seaweed had dried daikon radish, which added a nice touch. **Miso Soup** The miso soup was made with pre-prepared ingredients, but the generous portion was pleasing. I was skeptical about having miso soup with curry, but surprisingly, they complemented each other well. The dashi was well-flavored. **Final Thoughts** Thoughtfully prepared dishes in a warm atmosphere. It's no wonder they have a growing number of regular customers. Next time, I will try the daily special teishoku. Thank you for the meal.

Located about a 3-minute walk from Takamiya Station. It is on the second floor of an apartment, in the opposite direction of the stairs. Open only on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights during the summer. It is recommended to check their Instagram for the latest information. I ordered the Masala curry set meal. For my drink, I had an iced cafe au lait. Since they are short-staffed, the service may be slow, but I didn't mind waiting for about 30 minutes. The set meal came with a salad and miso soup on small plates. The curry appeared to have no ingredients at first glance, but it had tender pieces of meat hidden within. It was topped with fried onions and had a delicious aroma of spices. The set also included a pickled dish, and each dish seemed to be carefully prepared. Although they only open at night in the summer, I would like to visit again when the weather cools down.

There is a shop in a room of an old apartment. I barely managed to get a seat on the first try. It's a one-person operation, so it takes about 30 minutes to serve even for a group of 9 people. I felt like I was visiting my grandma's house in the countryside during summer vacation. The Chicken Nanban set meal was huge. The crispy coating on the chicken was a bit too much, but it was delicious when combined with the egg paste. The miso soup and side dishes were also well-prepared and tasty.

After arriving at the restaurant, there was no line! Lucky to find one seat available since I had given up before when told the wait was over 30 minutes with no time to spare! I ordered the special Masala curry set meal, which is their famous dish! Due to being short-staffed, it took about 30 minutes from ordering to serving! If you visit the restaurant, make sure you have enough time as it can be tough if you're in a hurry! The curry comes with cilantro on top, so be careful when ordering! The curry is full of ingredients, with pickles and cilantro on the rice! The sauce is on the watery side, not very rich, but packed with spices and delicious! The vegetable chips on top also add a nice touch! They go perfectly with the sauce! The side dish of pickles and simmered hijiki seaweed was also tasty, and I finished it in no time! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Working on a holiday, you have some discretion over when to take your lunch break and rest time. Don't miss this opportunity! (laughs) Let's go eat the curry we missed the other day! I got off at Nishitetsu Takamiya Station and headed to "Teishoku/Kissaten EIYO". It's about a 5-minute walk from the station. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of an apartment building with a retro Showa era vibe. There are no signs outside indicating the presence of the restaurant. Last time, I arrived 30 minutes before opening and felt unsure if they were open due to the quiet atmosphere, so I passed by. This time, I arrived at 11:55, just 5 minutes before opening. There were already 2 people waiting in front of the shop. As soon as I lined up, two more people lined up behind me. Somehow, it felt reassuring. At 12:01, the door opened, and the restaurant was open. When I entered, I saw an L-shaped counter with 5 seats, and there were two tables, one for 2 people and one for 3 people. The renovated interior had a mysterious atmosphere with a mix of retro and cleanliness that you wouldn't expect from the outside of the apartment building. Since I was dining alone, I sat at the counter. There was enough distance between the seats, and the counter seat was comfortable. The operation was handled by a single female staff member. There were about 20 spice jars on the kitchen shelf. First, she took orders for 5 people who entered at the same time and started cooking. I ordered the "Special Masala Curry Set (1,100 yen, tax included)". (Surprisingly, out of the 5 people, 4 chose this curry.) The serving time was about 20 minutes. By 12:15, 5 minutes before serving, the restaurant was full of customers. The dishes were served in the order of entry. The colorful curry was served on a large plate with side dishes. The curry had fried onions and pink pepper as accents. The spiciness was just right for me, although I wasn't asked about the level of spiciness. The tender meat texture was also good. The curry came with miso soup. The side dish was a Japanese-style simmered dish. They were delicious individually, but I personally feel that they might be better enjoyed separately from the curry. (I still can't get used to the combination of curry and miso soup at fast-food chain Matsuya.) Enjoying delicious food, I wonder if these thoughts are too luxurious? Thank you for the meal.

It is located on the second floor of a retro apartment in a residential area about a 3-minute walk from Nishitetsu Takamiya Station. The exterior of the apartment may look a bit unsettling at first, but once you climb the stairs, you will feel relieved to see customers waiting inside. I arrived 5 minutes before opening and was able to get in on the last round of the first seating. The interior has been renovated and has a stylish cafe-like atmosphere. For lunch, there were three choices: curry, salted mackerel set meal, and chicken nanban. I was intrigued by the chicken nanban set meal, priced at 1100 yen. Although I was tempted by the curry, I decided on this one based on MyRebi's review. The set meal came with miso soup, namul, simmered vegetables, and freshly fried chicken nanban. There were plenty of vegetables served as well. I found the simmered vegetables to be a bit too strong in flavor. The nanban had a crunchy coating and was quite satisfying. However, it wasn't to my liking. The tartar sauce was not in a sauce form but more like an egg salad, which was interesting. There were 4 seats at the counter and 2 tables, so I recommend going early or adjusting your timing. Thank you for the meal.

"Alicia's Food Log: By chance, I stumbled upon this restaurant. It's so lucky to end up at a place like this! I arrived at 1 pm and there were 2 seats available at the counter, so we were seated right away. We chose curry and the daily special for lunch. The restaurant was filled with many women. Seeing other customers' plates, I was pleasantly surprised and my expectations rose. The plate that was brought to us was filled with lots of vegetables! The root vegetables were cooked with their skin on, just like the name suggests, making it seem very nutritious. Each dish was served in adorable plates, warming my heart. It was a bit far, but it was worth going. The curry had a nice balance of spices, not too complicated. Coriander was included without asking, already on the dish. The daily special was a chicken and vegetable stew, but it was mostly vegetables. It had complex flavors and aromas. Everything was gentle and delicious. It truly healed my soul."

I visited this restaurant that I had been interested in for a while. It is located on the second floor of Asada-so. I arrived about 5 minutes before opening time, and there were already 2 people x 3 groups in line. One more person was behind me, and a total of 8 people were able to enter on the first rotation. [Ordered items] - Special Masala Curry ¥1100 - Today's dessert ¥300 - Hot coffee ¥200 The Masala Curry comes on a plate with side dishes. On this day, it came with okra salad, 5 kinds of simmered dishes, and a salad. I thought it was amazing! Each side dish, including the Masala Curry, was made with great care. The okra salad was full of ingredients, with green onions on top. There were vegetable chips on top of the fresh vegetables. Bonito flakes were sprinkled on top of the simmered dishes. Pickles and coriander were on top of the rice. These little toppings added complexity to the texture and flavor. The Masala Curry also had a crunchy texture and was full of ingredients to enjoy. The name of the restaurant, EIYO, seems to suggest enjoying a variety of ingredients for a well-balanced and nutritious meal. The dessert was also homemade, with a touch of honey and almond slices on top, which made it incredibly delicious. The attention to detail was great! If I can visit without waiting in line and be the first to enter, I would definitely like to revisit this restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

I had been interested in this place for a while after seeing it on SNS, but I hadn't had the chance to visit this area. I happened to have some business nearby, so I decided to stop by. It's a shop called "Asada-so," which is a renovated room in an old apartment building that is almost 60 years old. There are several other renovated shops in Asada-so as well. I heard it can get crowded, so I arrived about 10 minutes before the 12 o'clock opening time, and there were already 2 customers ahead of me. Lucky me! The shop is bright and has a casual atmosphere since it's located in a corner room. It seems to be run by a young and lovely female owner. Lunch menu: - Daily special (only available on weekends) - Chicken Nanban set (1100 yen) - Chicken Nanban with plenty of vegetables - The sound of deep-frying was heard, and the crispy texture of the coating was good. The chicken itself was tender, and the sweet and sour sauce was to my liking. It's the most delicious Chicken Nanban I've had recently. Instead of tartar sauce, it came with a paste similar to egg paste, which was also delicious. - Both simmered dishes had a gentle flavor that I liked. - The rice was glossy and delicious. - The miso soup had a good dashi flavor and the miso was tasty as well, which I also liked. The main chicken dish was delicious, and the meal included plenty of vegetables, making it a well-balanced meal nutrition-wise. I understand why there's usually a line. I would definitely want to visit again when I'm in the area.

Curry is a delicious food that I have recently come to appreciate. I used to only know katsu curry, but the more I learn about curry, the more I enjoy it. It takes time, money, and curiosity to explore different types of curry, so maybe that's why I didn't know about them before. The curry here was delicious. It had more volume than it looked, and even though I was full by the end, it was so tasty that I felt content. It was a great lunch experience. Thank you for the meal!

My daughter and I had lunch together. I wanted to eat a vegetable-filled set meal, but they didn't offer it on weekdays, so I ordered curry and my daughter ordered lo-lo rice. The authentic curry with plenty of spices wasn't too spicy, just a hint of spice, making it very easy to eat. In fact, it was a taste that made me want to try it again. The salad was plentiful, and there was also miso soup, nanbanzuke, and simmered hijiki, making it truly nutritious. I also tried a bite of the lo-lo rice, which wasn't greasy and had a subtle spice flavor, making it easy to eat too!

Located in Takamiya, this shop is on the second floor of an apartment called "Asada-so". Be sure to check out the photos of "Asada-so"! I really like it. It must have been a very stylish apartment building when it was built. It feels like traveling back to the Showa era. Now, is it not being used as a residence? Several shops have renovated and opened, each with its own unique charm. It's really nice. Today, I had the daily special set meal for 1050 yen and the chicken nanban set meal for 1100 yen. Both are very generous in portion size and use a variety of vegetables. The daily special had a simmered dish, which was delicious with a gentle home-cooked flavor. The shop is small, so there may be a wait, but I would love to visit again when I want to relax. The female shop owner was also kind and had a good demeanor.

I came two days in a row. I entered the restaurant at 2 p.m. on a weekday. Even at this time, it was full. The daily special set meal was sold out again this day. The Masala Curry I ordered for 1100 yen came with a variety of side dishes on the same plate. The shredded chicken curry had a strong flavor of various spices, like an authentic curry specialty store. The refreshing flavor of the pink pepper topping was enjoyable. The rice was Japanese rice with barley. The burdock salad side dish was homemade and you could feel the freshness of the burdock. In Fukuoka, where a bowl of pork bone ramen costs 280 yen, a curry for 1100 yen may seem expensive, but this place has a charm that doesn't make you feel that way. Many people leave the restaurant saying "It was delicious" to the owner before leaving. It's that kind of place.

I decided to have a slightly late lunch during work hours. I visited a restaurant around 3 PM. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor, room 12, of a building called "Asada-so," which has a 60-year-old exterior. The place is popular among customers, especially women, during lunchtime, but it was quiet and had more male customers at this late hour. I ordered the Lurou set meal for 1150 yen, which included Lurouhan, miso soup, salad, and two side dishes. The presentation was elaborate and the food was delicious. The dish had a good balance of flavors, with ingredients like pork, komatsuna, and takana. The variety of ingredients made it a nutritious meal. The restaurant also serves alcohol, making it a good place to enjoy a meal with drinks in the late afternoon or evening.

I arrived a little before the Saturday opening time and waited in line for a bit (there were two groups ahead of me). The name of the restaurant includes "nutrition" so as someone concerned about my health, I was quite intrigued. Although the daily specials caught my eye, I decided to go with the Masala Curry set. The curry came with miso soup and side dishes, like a regular Japanese meal. It was a nice mix of home-cooked flavors and authentic spicy curry, making me feel like I got a great deal. Everything was seasoned gently, but the curry had a strong spice kick, creating a perfect balance. I also enjoyed a glass of wine, making it a very satisfying lunch. I would like to visit again to try their daily specials next time.

It was so delicious that I decided to visit again. The apartment has a retro Showa era vibe, and the interior has been renovated into a stylish space. There are a few seats at the counter and a few tables. I tried the unique "Rurou set meal" for the first time. It has an ethnic flavor with the texture of pork, konjac, pickled vegetables, and stir-fried komatsuna which gives a satisfying chewing sensation. The taste is also delicious. It's a quiet space, so having some light background music might be nice. Since it's popular, there may be a wait before being served, so it's best to visit when you have some extra time.

Oonami has a charming atmosphere with a retro Showa vibe, located in a renovated old apartment. It was almost full when I arrived around 2 o'clock, showing how popular it is. I ordered the Masala Curry set, which not only looked cute but also tasted delicious. The texture was excellent, and it came with miso soup. There are plenty of parking spaces nearby, so no need to worry about that.

The taste exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere and service in the restaurant were also excellent. I plan to come back at night next time.

The restaurant had a gentle flavor that made me want to visit every day.

I was very satisfied with the vegetable-rich set meal enjoyed in a calm space.

First time having lunch here! We had to wait outside for about 20 minutes because it was full. I had the pork belly rice bowl and my companion had the curry rice. Both dishes were reliably delicious and we left feeling satisfied!
