My wife was nagging about wanting to go to Ichigotei, Ichigotei, so we decided to go with Q-chan. Well, I also wanted to eat the pork tempura set at Ichigotei, so it's fine with me. We arrived at the place where Q-chan stopped and headed in. We arrived at 12:30 and there were solo customers at each table, so the chances of sharing a table were high, but we managed to avoid it as one person finished eating. While we were eating, 1, 1, 2 customers arrived later, so the owner closed the curtain and began preparing even though it was only 1:30 (>_<). For our order, my wife chose omurice and fried noodles, and I chose the pork tempura set, totaling 1750 yen. The omurice and fried noodles were delicious, and the pork tempura, which I hadn't had in a while, had a soft coating that went well with the mustard soy sauce. There were even 10 bite-sized pieces of pork tempura, and I found that I didn't have enough rice (laughs). Next time, I'll try the curry fried rice and fried noodles. Thank you for the meal!

My daughter is on a school trip and I'm feeling lonely (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`). But I still get hungry, right?! (ｺﾗｯ!!) So, my wife, Q-chan, and I decided to have a leisurely lunch in the Konohana Kaga-ya area (>_<). The first place we went to was closed due to sold out items, and the second place was closed for the day, but we still tried our luck. Finally, the third place we visited was a local Chinese restaurant that we had enjoyed before. It was open and we had the whole place to ourselves since it was already 2 o'clock. We ordered chanpon and tenshinhan for my wife, and I chose fried rice and ramen, which came to a total of 1810 yen. The food started arriving within 10 minutes, and we were all hungry so we dug in right away, hence no overall picture (lol). My wife thought the chanpon was okay, but she really enjoyed the tenshinhan. As for my ramen, it was simple and delicious with the chicken broth typical of local Chinese restaurants. The fried rice was also to my liking and very tasty. We had tried the pork and chicken tempura set before, which was also delicious. I highly recommend this place (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ Oh, and the yakisoba looked tempting too. Ah, it was so delicious (´ω｀) Thank you for the meal ( *˙ω˙*)و ｸﾞｯ!

In June of the 5th year of Reiwa, during lunchtime (around 12:00 to 14:30), you can enjoy a delicious Chinese rice bowl for 500 yen including tax. It is filled with plenty of vegetables, pork, shrimp, and more, offering great value for money. As of June in the 5th year of Reiwa, all seats in the restaurant are non-smoking.

Today, I finally went to a Chinese restaurant that I had been wanting to try for a while in Fukahama. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere with red tents and yellow curtains. It was a small place with four red tables for four people each. It was crowded during lunchtime, and my family and I managed to find a table towards the left side. We ordered ramen, gyoza, mapo tofu, fried rice, and stir-fried leeks to share. The prices were very reasonable, so we ended up ordering a lot of food. The ramen was only 330 yen, which was a great deal. The classic ramen came with green onions, bean sprouts, and char siu pork. The soup had a nice balance of saltiness and umami flavor from chicken broth. The noodles were thin with a good texture and flavor. The toppings could have been more generous, but considering the price, it was understandable. The fresh vegetables and flavorful char siu pork complemented the ramen well. Overall, the menu had a variety of traditional Chinese dishes that gave off a nostalgic vibe. I also saw other customers ordering the Chinese set meals, which looked like a good deal. I would definitely consider coming back to this historic Chinese restaurant on Fukahama Street, called "Ichigotei." It's highly recommended by MASA☆RU.

Today, I visited a local Chinese restaurant in Konohama for the third time. It was a bit far, so I drove there and parked at Q-chan. I walked a bit north of the Konohama shopping street and was planning to stroll around the shops, but unfortunately, the shopping street was closed. I was hoping to buy croquettes and imitation goose, but oh well. We decided to head straight to the restaurant and arrived at 12:30. There were 3 customers already seated, and 1 regular customer. The regular customer's leek and egg rice bowl looked delicious. We ordered my wife's shrimp tempura rice bowl and my favorite pork tempura rice bowl, as well as a shared yakisoba, totaling 1880 yen. The food arrived in about 10 minutes. The shrimp tempura and pork tempura were both delicious and generously portioned. The soup and homemade cucumber pickles were also tasty. The tempura batter was soft and tasty, and the shrimp was plump. The yakisoba noodles were boiled before being stir-fried, giving them a nice texture. Overall, the cost, taste, and service were great, and my wife also enjoyed it. The only downside was that the rice was a bit soft. I haven't been lucky with rice since the end of last year. I wonder what would happen if they used this soft rice to make fried rice? That's something to think about for next time. Thank you for the meal!

There is a yellow sign shop just after the main shopping street in Konohana-ku, Konohana. I arrived by bicycle on a narrow road. It seems like regular customers are drinking beer. It's a small shop. As soon as I arrived at the town Chinese restaurant, I definitely ordered fried rice, fried chicken, dumplings, and ramen. I also ordered a draft beer and waited with my family. I ate dumplings and fried chicken and washed it down with beer!!! "Awesome!!" By the time we finished eating, a local elementary school student came alone and ordered fried rice to eat. It was a nice scene. It was a cozy and very cheap shop.

Today is the day of the House of Representatives election and the autumn Emperor's Cup, so I decided to have lunch at this restaurant. Before going, I called to confirm if they were open. The restaurant said, "We are open for lunch as usual, even though there is an election today." When I arrived, the curtain at the entrance was not out yet, and there was a sign saying "preparing." I peeked inside and saw that there were already two groups of customers seated. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork set meal (660 yen including tax), which came with plenty of onions and about 8 slices of pork. The egg soup that came with the set meal later was delicious. The Chinese-style rice bowl (480 yen including tax) had just the right level of seasoning and was not too strong or too light. The Ramen (300 yen including tax) had two slices of chicken chashu on top of thin noodles that had a great texture and flavor, with a clear and tasty soup. I was full and satisfied with the delicious meal. Thank you for the meal. Note: The restaurant owner and a regular customer were discussing the Emperor's Cup, and when they mentioned "Ichigo-Tei" (1-5), they joked that it probably won't pay much. In the end, the horse racing bet for 1-5 actually won.

I visited this restaurant for lunch for the second time. This time, I chose the popular sweet and sour pork set meal from the service set menu. The price was 660 yen. In this day and age, it's rare to find a place that offers lunch at this price. The sweet and sour pork set meal included fried pork, onions, carrots, and green peppers, with plenty of onions. The sauce was light with a gentle and mild flavor of vinegar and soy sauce. The pork had a slight hint of odor. It was a good value meal and I left feeling full.

This is a Chinese restaurant located in Konohana-ku, Osaka. I had been curious about this place with its Showa-era prices for a while, and today I finally decided to try it out. Although the fried rice had high ratings, I ended up ordering the classic "omurice" from the typical Chinese restaurant menu. The taste was just as expected for a Chinese restaurant omurice, and at 530 yen, the cost performance is great. It's delicious. In addition to omurice, they also offer other attractive menu items such as ramen for 300 yen, and sweet and sour pork set meal for 660 yen. I'll probably be visiting this place regularly for a while.

This is a popular Chinese restaurant loved by locals! It is run by a couple and offers cheap and delicious food! Their must-try dishes include chicken tempura, pork cutlet, fried horse mackerel, and omurice. The chicken tempura set meal is exceptional! The omurice is also incredibly tasty! If you love casual dining, you must visit at least once. Parking is available at a nearby parking lot. Thank you for the meal.

This shop is located on the outskirts of Konohama Shotengai, and I decided to visit after being recommended by someone from another shop that their fried rice is delicious. However, when I tried to visit on the first weekend of Golden Week, there was a sign saying "Closed", so I finally managed to visit after Golden Week. The shop is run by the owner and his wife (I didn't confirm if it was his wife), with the owner in charge of the kitchen. On the day I visited, it was a hot day almost like summer, so I was grateful for the air conditioning in the shop. I ordered the fried rice for ¥430 and ramen for ¥230! It's amazing that ramen is only ¥230 in this day and age! While waiting for the food to be served, I watched the TV in the shop for a while. First, the fried rice was served. It was a simple fried rice with char siu, egg, onions, and a small amount of green onions, with an old-fashioned taste. It was not dry and fluffy, but rather moist with a bit of oil, well-balanced with salt and pepper, and truly nostalgic. As I was enjoying the fried rice, the ramen was served. The ramen was also simple, with char siu, bean sprouts, and green onions in a soy sauce broth. The soup was not too salty or too light, with a taste that brought back memories. The noodles were straight noodles, not the trendy ones that have become popular recently, which made me think that the owner has his own preferences for this ramen. Before I knew it, I had finished eating the fried rice, soup, and noodles. Although the times have changed from Showa to Heisei and now Reiwa, the menu here retains the goodness of Showa era in a positive way, and I felt satisfied and full after reuniting with something nostalgic. Next time, I want to visit in the evening, enjoy a dish with some beer. Thank you for the delicious Chinese food. I will visit again!

A simple Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. I knew about its existence, but visited after 2 years of moving in. Surprisingly, they have ramen for 260 yen, taste is average. Gyoza is also available for 210 yen. I will focus on conquering their set meals next time, aiming for good value for money.

I visited a popular Chinese-style restaurant for lunch with my colleague. My colleague ordered the pork tempura set meal, while I ordered the leek and egg set meal. It seemed like a popular spot in a bustling area. The place was filled with regular customers. One thing to note is that the food took a while to come out, about 20 minutes. The taste was not bad. It's understandable since it's run by an elderly couple, but it's better to have some extra time to enjoy the meal leisurely with some drinks rather than rushing during a limited work break. The taste is good and the elderly couple running the place are nice. I guess I'm just impatient.

I always struggle to choose between the Chicken Tempura Set Meal with Gyoza or the Pork Tempura Set Meal with Gyoza. Both are excellent choices!

I had been curious about this place for a while, and since it was within biking distance from my house, I convinced my family to go there (haha). When we arrived outside the shop, we could already hear loud voices coming from inside, probably from the customers and the lady who seemed to be the owner. I mustered up the courage and went in, and as expected, the regulars were chatting animatedly with the lady while watching TV. It felt quite lively and exciting. We ordered ramen, fried rice, two orders of dumplings, and Tenshinhan to share among the three of us. The ramen, priced at 260 yen, was decently tasty. The fried rice was a bit salty, but still good. The best dish we had that day was probably the dumplings. The filling had a nice flavor, and the skin was crispy, exceeding my expectations. However, the air conditioning didn't seem to be working well, or maybe we just picked a bad spot, as we ended up sweating a lot (haha). ☀

This is a locally loved neighborhood Chinese restaurant located about a 5-minute walk from Tamade Station on the Yotsubashi subway line. I visited the restaurant at night in the pouring rain, and was impressed by the extensive menu displayed on the wall. The reasonable prices typical of a neighborhood Chinese restaurant were much appreciated. The relaxed atmosphere inside the restaurant was also nice. This time, I focused on trying various dishes, including classic menu items and ones that caught my eye, and compared them to dishes from other neighborhood Chinese restaurants. Starting with some basic menu items, the dumplings for 210 yen were crispy on the outside, with a light filling of vegetables and a tangy homemade sauce that balanced well with the dumplings. The boneless fried chicken for 580 yen was piping hot and crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and simply delicious. The ramen for 260 yen was surprisingly cheap and tasty, with a simple pork bone and chicken broth and slightly thin noodles with a good texture. The smell of kansui was nostalgic and added to the flavor. The addition of pepper halfway through the meal brought a change in taste, and unexpectedly, a toothpick was included in the dish, which made me laugh. The fried rice for 430 yen, served with Chinese soup, looked delicious even before taking a bite. It was moist and fluffy, coated with oil but relatively light in flavor, and tasted better than its price. The curry mapo tofu for 560 yen was rich in minced meat and had a slightly spicy curry flavor, reminiscent of a Chinese-style keema curry. The mildness of the tofu added an interesting touch to the dish, making it addictive. Eating it with the fried rice transformed it into a delicious curry fried rice instantly. The fried noodles for 450 yen, with plenty of vegetables and a salt-based sauce, were crispy and hot, with the noodles becoming slightly softer as they absorbed the sauce. The flavorful sauce with plenty of vegetables added to the deliciousness of the dish. Despite the rainy weather, many customers were ordering takeout, and families were dining in. On weekends, regular customers would sometimes have private parties, indicating the restaurant's popularity. With a wide selection of reasonably priced menu items, all of which are delicious, it's no wonder this place is a hit.

Visited Ichigotei in Suminoe Ward, Osaka City for lunch for the first time. It is located a 2-minute walk from the Kohnan Station on the Nankai Main Line. This time, I parked at a nearby coin parking lot along Route 26 (20 minutes for 100 yen) and visited the restaurant. It was the second stop of a plan to visit two affordable ramen shops with my colleague, with the first stop being Osaka Restaurant in Nishinari Ward. We arrived at 1:45 pm on a weekday and there were no customers in the small restaurant with 3 tables (total of 16 seats). I ordered the "Ramen for 260 yen" and it arrived in about 5 minutes. It was a chicken broth soy sauce ramen with medium-thin straight noodles, bean sprouts, green onions, and 2 small slices of chashu as toppings. The appearance and taste of the ramen were similar to the one we had at Osaka Restaurant, just with different noodles. The noodles were slightly clumped together, but considering the price, the taste was decent enough. It felt like a genuine old-fashioned ramen experience, not the modern refined style. It may seem a bit rough around the edges, but for this price, the ramen was more than satisfactory. The staff consisted of an elderly couple who gave off a vibe of being part of the local community.

I had some business to attend to in Tamade, so I decided to stop by Ichigotei for ramen and fried rice. It was dinner time, so I was considering getting a yakiniku set, but I really wanted to have ramen, so I went with the ramen and fried rice set. I've had both the ramen and the chashu noodles multiple times, but for some reason, the ramen always tastes better. The Tenshin noodles were also delicious, but I wasn't sure when I would have the chance to eat them again, so I went with the ramen. There are two 200 yen ramen shops around here, but in terms of taste, Ichigotei is the best. I couldn't decide between fried rice, omurice, chukadon, or curry don, but I chose the fried rice in the end, considering my diet. As someone with a sensitive tongue, the fried rice was too hot for me to eat right away.
