I arrived at Kadoma-shi Station and had lunch at Gyoza no Osho. While eating, there was a sudden torrential rain and thunderstorm, so you really can't let your guard down these days (sweat). I thought the food court at Lalaport would be crowded because Costco had opened, so I decided to have lunch near the station. But later I saw that it wasn't that crowded (laughs). Now, I had fried rice, gyoza, and chicken karaage, all of which are familiar flavors. The condiments are brought to the table when you sit down, so there is no vinegar, but if you ask for it, they will bring it. Today, I ate the gyoza with sauce and chili oil instead of vinegar and pepper, so no problem there. The fried rice was simple but delicious with a nice texture. The chicken karaage was a bit tough, maybe slightly undercooked. Overall, it was the usual taste, nothing special, but maybe that's the best part (laughs). By the way, I forgot my stamp card today, so I didn't make a new one. I'm full! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

We arrived around 12:00 on Sunday with 5 people. We were guided to the second floor. We ate and drank to our heart's content, and it didn't cost more than 2,000 yen per person. This restaurant offers bottled beer, which was convenient. The tables are large, and the restaurant has a high-class atmosphere with a feeling of being an old Chinese restaurant.

I usually order pork tempura rice bowl and dumplings, but today I ordered mapo rice bowl and dumplings with both sides grilled. Each Gyoza no Ohsho store has its own unique menu, but the pork tempura rice bowl in Kadoma might be my favorite, it's very satisfying with a good amount of vegetables. The sauce for the dumplings is already prepared, but if you want vinegar and pepper, or if you need more vinegar, you can ask for it.

I have been eyeing this restaurant since I first came to Kadoma. In recent years, I have heard that Osho is moving towards standardization. They are reducing franchise stores and increasing direct-operated stores. They even have a central kitchen where they wrap the gyoza. They no longer have unique menu items, and the set meals are all the same wherever you go. In that sense, this Kadoma store stands out. First of all, the sign is clearly different from the current design. Inside the store, it doesn't feel like Osho at all, it looks like a somewhat upscale restaurant. Maybe the previous tenant was like that. The menu items "Kadoma Luxury Gozen" (1577 yen) and "Colorful Gozen" (2564 yen) catch the eye, but they seem quite expensive. I ordered the fried rice set meal and mini pork tempura (original). The fried rice uses ham with the meat, giving it a Western flavor, which I'm not particularly fond of (although I occasionally enjoy it). The gyoza has a strong punch of garlic and chives, which is odd for a central kitchen product. The pork tempura is a hidden gem in Chinese cuisine and often a popular menu item. The coating is similar to chicken karaage, but with a different taste. I wish I could have eaten it with mustard soy sauce instead of regular salt. Both coatings were crispy and delicious. Currently, they are closing at 2:00 pm due to a shortage of staff. I hope they continue to thrive.

Gyoza no Ousho. If I were to count from my student days, this might be the first restaurant I've ever been to in my life. I prefer "Gyoza no Ousho" over "Osaka Osho." It feels kind of cheap... By the way, the taste can vary slightly depending on the store. Even the set meals they offer are different. I've been to various Ousho locations, but I think this one has the best tasting gyoza. They are really good at grilling the gyoza.

This is one of the many Gyoza no Ohsho chain restaurants, but for some reason the food here tastes better than others. I had 2 servings of gyoza and a small bowl of rice. It was seriously delicious. The restaurant has a Chinese-style atmosphere with round tables, which adds to the overall good vibe.

Pilaf and fried rice - the difference is in whether the rice is cooked before frying or fried after cooking. What about fried rice and yakimeshi? In the Kansai region, yakimeshi is called fried rice. Fried rice is made by frying the eggs first and then the rice, while yakimeshi is made by frying the rice first and then the eggs. Fried rice is seasoned with salt, while yakimeshi is seasoned with soy sauce. Personally, I think fried rice is light and fluffy, while yakimeshi is dry and crumbly. Chain restaurants are great because the taste is consistent no matter where you eat, which is convenient when you're in an unfamiliar place. However, Gyoza no Ohsho has different menus and services depending on the location, which gives each store its own unique personality. I don't mind this style, as it adds variety and excitement to dining out. I ordered the yakimeshi set for lunch at a different Gyoza no Ohsho location than I usually go to. The yakimeshi was a bit moist and not as fluffy as I expected, with a strong flavor. The gyoza and fried chicken were decent. I left feeling full and headed back to the station. On the way, I saw a street vendor selling takoyaki for only 300 yen. I considered trying it, but ended up just taking a photo. That's the end.

I came to Kadoma for a business trip. It was already past lunchtime, so I thought maybe anywhere would be available, but there was a line at the ramen shop next to Osho. Since there was no line at Osho, I went there. It's been a while, but I couldn't eat the gyoza because I have a meeting later, so I had the Gomoku soba. As always, it's full of vegetables, and the Chinese cabbage is sweet. I think the squid and shrimp were a nice little service touch. The soup also had a faint sesame oil fragrance and was delicious. The price, including tax, was 605 yen, which is reasonable. Thank you for the meal.

The five-ingredient soba with plenty of ingredients costs 605 yen including tax, but with the Gyoza Club and app discounts, it was only 535 yen. It's so grateful to have such affordable prices in the Reiwa era. The soba is filled with ingredients like squid, shrimp, wood ear mushrooms, pork, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, onions, and fluffy egg. It's perfect for those who like soft noodles, with yellow egg noodles and a light, clear soup. The Gyoza Club offers double stamps for points now, so it's worth a visit. The interior of this franchise location is a bit flashy, but the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I wonder if the 2nd floor is available for parties? Maybe. The Kyoto-Kobe Moriguchi City Station branch serves pork bone soup for their five-ingredient soba. Since it's a franchise, each store has its own unique recipe.

I moved to Osaka and started using the monorail frequently for both personal and work purposes. Coming from Kawasaki, I was used to taking the Keikyu line to Haneda Airport, so I rarely used the Tokyo Monorail. Monorails always had a theme park vibe to me, so it feels fresh to use it in my daily life now. I got off at the last stop of the Osaka Monorail, at Kadoma-shi Station where it intersects with the Keihan Electric Railway. This area is a residential area with many Panasonic-related businesses, giving it a strong Panasonic presence. Just a 2-minute walk from the station, you'll find this restaurant next to Katsurakatei, which I recently wrote about. It's a nationwide chain, so the menu is familiar, but they have slight variations between Kanto and Kansai regions. For dinner, I chose the following: - Gokuo Tenjinmen (630 yen excluding tax): I was torn between Tenjin "rice" and noodles, but I was in the mood for noodles. The soup, or rather the sauce, has a rich and gentle seafood flavor. They use a luxurious dashi made from kombu, bonito, anchovy, and mackerel shavings. The hot and thick soup coats the noodles well, creating a flavorful experience. For a little extra dish, I recommend their "Just Size Menu": - Gyoza (Just Size Menu) (120 yen excluding tax): Thin but chewy skin with a fluffy filling that crumbles in your mouth. It had been a while since I last had Gyoza no Ohsho, and it was delicious. Intrigued by the menu, I decided to revisit. I was surprised to see a limited menu item at the Kadoma store. They have "Mapo Don" as a limited menu item! It's not on the regular menu. I was surprised. I was tempted to try it, but it seemed high in calories. So, I went with: - Buta Tendon (723 yen excluding tax): A Chinese-style rice bowl topped with pork tempura (or rather, close to fried chicken). It looked like chicken karaage at first glance, but it's pork! The pork is coated in a tonkatsu-like batter and fried. It was cooked thoroughly, juicy, and the rice was very satisfying. The soup that came with it was slightly thick, providing long-lasting warmth. This menu seems perfect for the upcoming cold winter months. The Gokuo Tenjinmen, the signature Gyoza, and the limited edition Buta Tendon were all flavorful and satisfying, with generous portions. It was a filling and satisfying meal.

April 2, 2021. Ryanger Coat 484 yen, Just Size Tianjin rice 294 yen, Free coupon for app gyoza -242 yen, Total 536 yen (tax included). On the second day of retirement, I had some errands in Kadoma City. After finishing my business at the city hall, I visited a ramen shop that had received quite good reviews next door. However, for the past few months, I have been hooked on Gyoza no Ohsho and today, without any hesitation, I entered the shop with only gyoza in mind. The first floor was full probably due to lunchtime, so I was guided to the second floor and sat at the counter without even looking at the menu. The waitress was extremely unfriendly (laughs). It took almost 10 minutes for my order to arrive, brought by the same waitress - Ryanger Coat, Tianjin rice, and soup. I couldn't stand the fact that they arrived together. Most likely, the Tianjin rice arrived first and was waiting for the gyoza, which arrived later. As expected, the Tianjin rice was a bit cold. The taste was fine, but the starch in the sauce was quite sticky. The soup was even more so. The viscosity of the starch dissolved in water was like nothing I had ever experienced, almost like jelly. If the combined serving was the result of their own mistake, the staff should be properly trained. However, despite my disappointment, the high ratings are probably due to the deliciousness of the gyoza. They were served piping hot, each one large and incredibly flavorful. Moreover, even though I ordered two servings, I received 13 gyoza for some reason. I couldn't help but think that someone else must have ordered only 5 gyoza, and while initially feeling a bit annoyed, my anger dissipated as I effortlessly ate the 13th gyoza. At this rate, it seems like my exploration of Gyoza no Ohsho in "the other side of Osaka" will continue for a while.

The atmosphere is not like a chain store, it feels more like a local Chinese restaurant. This time, we ordered two servings of dumplings and a small-sized fried rice. The small-sized fried rice was about the size of a child's rice bowl, but ordering two servings of dumplings was quite a lot for women, so it was just the right amount. The dumplings were nicely crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The Gyoza no Ohsho near Kadoma Station has always been known for its delicious dumplings. The dumplings here are clearly tastier than other Gyoza no Ohsho chain stores, I wonder why that is?

【5 months later revisit】I stopped by for lunch on a certain holiday. As is customary for holiday lunches, I ordered gyoza. I ordered gyoza for 237 yen and a draft beer for 419 yen, and I was in a good mood from daytime. By the way, the draft beer is a normal size glass for this price, so it's different from Tokyo. For a side dish, I ordered stir-fried meat and eggs for 540 yen. It's basically a "moo-shu" pork dish. The bamboo shoots were delicious. Of course, I moved on to another draft beer. It was a great time even in the middle of the day.【Overview】A Chinese chain restaurant located near the intersection of Keihan Electric Railway and Osaka Monorail. The front is a U-shaped counter, so it's okay to dine alone. You can easily walk in.

The charm of King Shou is its addictive nature that makes you crave it periodically. When the craving hits, I head to the suburban King Shou which usually has a parking lot, making it convenient. I sometimes arrive around 11:05 AM, only to find a truck driver already enjoying his ramen with a satisfied "shi-ha" sound. Today's lunch special that tempted me was the "Tian Cha Set" for 950 yen plus tax, which includes Tianjin fried rice, a serving of dumplings, chicken karaage, and soup. It's a feast fit for a fool. I love King Shou's Tianjin fried rice, but I prefer white rice over fried rice inside. The chicken karaage is made with breast meat and is light and tasty. The dumplings are a must-try, being large and juicy. The soup, although unassuming, completed the meal. Despite feeling a bit gluttonous afterwards, I can't resist the sinful temptation of King Shou. I'll be back for more!

【Revisited after a year and a half】My visit after a long time was for takeout. It was quite crowded in the evening on a holiday. It took about 20 minutes from ordering, so I took a walk around before picking up my order. I ordered two servings of pan-fried dumplings at 242 yen each. I used a coupon for a free serving with an order of two or more. I also added a dish of small shrimp in chili sauce for 658 yen. It was indeed small shrimp, with a lot more batter than shrimp. The taste was more like eating the batter, and at this price, it seems difficult for even a chain like Osho to make delicious shrimp in chili sauce. 【Overview】A Chinese chain restaurant located at a station where the Keihan Electric Railway and Osaka Monorail intersect.

On Saturday night, I wandered around in front of Kadoma-shi Station by myself. There were a lot of people waiting outside the restaurant with takeout orders, so I wondered if the food was really good. It must be delicious if people are willing to wait in line. It was past 7 o'clock and there were about 10 people waiting outside for takeout. The restaurant was almost full inside as well. I sat at the counter and noticed the cool dragon carvings on the ceiling. I ordered some gyoza and a big bottle of beer for 480 yen, which was a good deal. I enjoyed the unique menu items like mapo ramen, kimchi ramen, and rajan noodles, all priced at 550 yen each. I'll have to come back to try the noodles next time. Thank you for the meal.

Every time I go to Yamadera! I tried the limited-time menu in April, the Ankake Chanpon. It had a thick, rich sauce and lots of vegetables, making it very satisfying and delicious. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was great, making it a wonderful restaurant. Although the Ankake Chanpon was a limited-time menu, it was so delicious that I hope they add it to their regular menu. It has become my favorite, so I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for the meal!

【2-year revisit with coupon】I visited a chain restaurant in Tokyo with a coupon for 200 yen off beer and one dish, which was valid at all locations. It had been 2 years since my last visit, and I ordered a bottle of beer and vegetable stir-fry for 399 yen. With the coupon, it came to only 199 yen, which was a great deal. It's amazing that you can now get yakimeshi fried noodles with vegetables for under 300 yen at a chain restaurant. Overall, it's a convenient place located near a station where the Keihan Electric Railway and Osaka Monorail intersect. The restaurant has a U-shaped counter at the front, making it suitable for solo diners.

It's a stable deliciousness! You can order anything with confidence! The combination of draft beer and dumplings is the best, right? ♫

I revisited a certain Chinese chain restaurant located near a station where the Keihan Electric Railway and Osaka Monorail intersect on a holiday evening to get two orders of gyoza to go. There was a slight crowd gathered from a distance, indicating a wait. Although I only had to wait for one person to order, I had to wait 20 minutes for the two orders of gyoza... I was taken aback. So, I decided to explore the area playing Pokémon GO while waiting, and then returned to pick up my order. Well, even though I got it to go, the gyoza tasted the same as usual, with a slightly strong smell. Indeed, it might be too strong to eat in a room. The restaurant has a U-shaped counter in front, making it suitable for dining alone. It's easy to casually walk in.
