【Chinese Dining Yui | Izumi Central, Osaka】This popular Chinese restaurant in Izumi City is a favorite spot that requires reservations. Last time we had dinner, so this time we went for lunch. The lunch set includes Sichuan Mapo Tofu (1500 yen), Almond Tofu (300 yen/lunch special price), and Chinese-style bonito sashimi (price unknown). The lunch set is a great deal, with a main dish, 4 dim sum items, soup, salad, and rice all included at this price! Even amidst the recent price hikes, the lunch set has been reduced in price, and the dim sum has been upgraded, which is fantastic. The Mapo Tofu is already incredibly delicious, but it keeps getting better with constant improvements. The "Drug Mapo" is so addictive that you'll want to eat it again right away. It has a strong flavor of Sichuan pepper, spicy but not just for the heat, the umami is amazing! You can also add extra spiciness, so spicy food lovers should give it a try (I stuck with level 2). And of course, the classic almond tofu that you want to eat by the bucketful. I also had the Chinese-style bonito sashimi for the first time, and it was delicious. I imagine it would be even better as a drinking snack. Can't wait to bring someone else here soon. Thank you for the meal!

Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, our family of four visited this restaurant for the first time in the evening. We made several pre-orders when making the reservation, and the chef decided the order in which the dishes were served. The lineup included jellyfish, chilled spicy eggplant (limited time), large shrimp with mayo sauce, Tajima chicken fried with aromatic sauce, pan-fried dumplings, Chinjao Hares steak (requires reservation), spare rib black vinegar sweet and sour pork, egg fried rice, dessert plate (to be discussed separately), and 6 soft drinks. The jellyfish was surprisingly delicious, with large chunks that were a first for us, and the texture was amazing. The chilled spicy eggplant was well-prepared, with a balanced level of spiciness and sweetness. The shrimp with mayo sauce was a nice follow-up, with the sweetness of the mayo and a hint of black pepper. The Tajima chicken was served separately with the aromatic sauce, catering to the plain taste preference of our children. The double main course of Chinjao Hares steak and spare rib sweet and sour pork was a highlight, with both meats incredibly tender and flavorful. The only slight issue was that the Chinjao Hares steak was sweeter than expected, overlapping slightly with the sweet and sour pork. Our conservative eater sons enjoyed the shrimp with mayo, fried chicken, dumplings, and fried rice. Finally, we ended the meal with a dessert plate featuring almond tofu, sesame balls, and coconut balls, which were all delicious and left us feeling satisfied. Overall, it was a great anniversary celebration. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

We visited for lunch. My husband's mapo tofu had a bit too much numbing Sichuan pepper, but the almond jelly dessert and coffee at the end left a refreshing feeling in the mouth, which paired really well. My shrimp chili was large, juicy, with just the right level of spiciness and very delicious. The staff was also very friendly and pleasant.

I made a reservation for lunch on Saturday at 11:30. There were already two groups of customers, but because I had a reservation, I was able to enter the restaurant right away. Of course, I ordered the black vinegar pork, and it seemed like many other customers around me also ordered the black vinegar pork lunch. The meat was very tender and delicious.

The staff at the restaurant were very friendly. I ordered the sweet and sour pork lunch that I often see on Instagram. I also added almond jelly recommended by the staff for an extra 300 yen. Maybe my expectations were too high, but the taste didn't quite impress me. The sauce for the sweet and sour pork was a bit too strong, and I didn't really like the filling inside the pork bun. Most of the other customers seemed to be ordering the mapo tofu, which is apparently a numbing dish.

I heard that the mapo tofu has been updated, so I invited my mapo-loving wife for our third visit. We chose the lunch set with mapo tofu, along with xiaolongbao and almond tofu. The mapo tofu had an authentic flavor and left us feeling satisfied, although personally I prefer it to be a little less spicy. The almond tofu was particularly delicious. I hope they offer dinner service as well.

One of the top Chinese restaurants in Osaka where you can enjoy elaborate and high-level Chinese cuisine at a reasonable price is located at Izumi-Chuo, the final stop of the Semboku High-Speed Line. This popular Chinese restaurant attracts not only locals but also customers from far away. About six months ago, I visited for the first time and was impressed by the delicious food and cost performance. This time, I wanted to try their braised pork and sweet and sour pork, so I revisited. The braised pork requires a reservation in advance due to the time it takes to prepare, but it is definitely worth it. The incredibly tender meat can be easily torn apart with chopsticks, and the black vinegar sauce adds a wonderful flavor. The Chingao Heres steak also requires a reservation in advance, and the lineup for the steak is spectacular. The tender Heres steak is perfectly cooked and blends well with the flavor of the pork loin. Another highlight of this restaurant is the mapo tofu, which can be considered the best in Osaka. The aroma is pleasant, and the balance of numbing and spiciness is perfect. It is gentle on the body and has just the right amount of oiliness. The jumbo shrimp series lives up to its name with large, juicy shrimp and a mayonnaise sauce that pairs perfectly. The special menu item of creamy tantan noodles stands out with its fragrant white sesame and creamy texture. For dessert, the almond tofu is highly recommended, with an intense sweetness and aroma that will captivate you. Despite enjoying a variety of high-level Chinese dishes and drinking 4-5 drinks per person, the total cost is only around 6000 yen, making it a great value. This Chinese restaurant is definitely worth a visit!

Visited a restaurant with colleagues. I chose the shrimp chili lunch set, while my colleague ordered mapo tofu. However, my colleague also wanted sweet and sour pork, so we ordered that separately to share. As a result, we were able to taste three different dishes at once. They were all delicious, but personally, I thought the shrimp chili went best with rice. We also ordered crab xiaolongbao and almond tofu for dessert, and left with our stomachs full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

This popular Chinese restaurant in Izumi Chuo seems to be fully booked as many people are making phone reservations. I was told it was full, so I gave them my phone number and waited in my car. After about 30 minutes, they called me and I picked up the take-out menu from inside the restaurant. I had already decided on my order. I ordered the following: - Black vinegar sweet and sour pork for 1500 yen. The sauce was strong with black vinegar and the pork was incredibly tender and juicy. Onions and green peppers played great supporting roles. The sauce was so good that I even asked for extra rice to finish it all. This sweet and sour pork was so tender, unlike the usual crispy ones. The leftover sweet and sour sauce was also delicious with rice. One free rice refill is allowed. Thank you for the meal. I would love to try the spicy Sichuan mapo tofu next time. I will definitely visit again. Chinese Dining Yui 0725-25-5056 2-7-64 Karakunicho, Izumi, Osaka Amulet Izumi Chuo 1F https://tabelog.com/osaka/A2705/A270502/27122710/

For lunch on this day, we went to this restaurant. It was our second visit with my wife. This time, my wife ordered the A lunch with black vinegar sweet and sour pork, while I ordered the B lunch with Sichuan mapo tofu and crab xiaolongbao. The B lunch arrived shortly and it was deliciously spicy and addictive. Soon after, the A lunch and crab xiaolongbao also arrived. We enjoyed our meal, and you can get one rice refill. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I have visited this restaurant three times, so here are my thoughts: Shrimp Chili... It has 5-6 large shrimp which provide a satisfying crunch. The taste of the shrimp chili is sweet and spicy, which I love. Dim Sum... It's delicious, not incredibly amazing but still satisfying. Soup... It's just average, with a good amount of salt which I like. Pickled Vegetables... Delicious, I wish there was more. Mouth-watering Chicken... Very tasty, the sauce on the moist chicken breast with Sichuan pepper is excellent! Highly recommended (this is good as a standalone dish). All the dishes are really delicious. I am always very satisfied, except for the rice... The first time I thought it was a coincidence, but all three times the rice was dry and seemed old, which I don't like. Maybe it's good if you want to use the leftovers for fried rice? I'm not sure, but personally, I prefer shiny, sticky rice. It's a shame that only the rice disappoints me. Also, the tables are too close together, making it hard to eat comfortably. You feel like you're being watched by other customers and can hear their conversations too clearly. It's uncomfortable, so I just eat quickly and leave. The food is delicious, but considering the seating and rice, it's hard to come back.

The level is too high! Exquisite "Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork" ❤️‍ Izumi City (Izumi Chuo) 'Chinese Dining Yu' @c_dining_yu I've always wanted to go to this restaurant that I've heard is delicious. The chef has trained at Michelin-starred and Big Bullman restaurants. ◎ Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork ¥1,380 (with salad, pickled zasai, soup, 3 kinds of dim sum, rice) This sweet and sour pork seems to be the most popular, and it's totally understandable. It's so tender! It uses pork tenderloin, so it's very juicy yet easy to eat with little fat. The special black vinegar sauce has a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness, and as a sweet and sour pork lover, I was delighted. The 3 kinds of dim sum that day were steamed dumplings, sticky rice meatballs, and mini pork buns! They were all authentic and delicious. The taste, volume, and price are quite a deal. The shrimp chili and mapo tofu that the person next to me was eating also looked really delicious, so I'm curious...I'll definitely come back. #KansaiGourmet #KansaiLunch #KansaiDinner #OsakaGourmet #OsakaLunch #OsakaDinner #IzumiCityGourmet #OsakaDate #SouthOsakaGourmet #SouthOsakaLunch #SouthOsakaCafe #SouthOsakaDinner #AuthenticChinese #ChineseLunch #IzumiCityLunch #IzumiCity #FoodPorn #OsakaChinese #ChineseCuisine #GourmetInstagram #IzumiCityCafe #IzumiCityDinner #IzumiChuo #IzumiChuoLunch #IzumiChuoGourmet #ChineseDiningYu #instafood #foodlovers #InstaGourmet #InstaGourmetAward2022

A shop in Izumi Chuo that was featured on "Yo-i Don!" Finally made it. Chose between the tender pork tenderloin in black vinegar sweet and sour pork or the large shrimp chili, and decided on the shrimp chili! Black vinegar sweet and sour pork with large shrimp in chili sauce (salad, pickled vegetables, soup, 3 kinds of dim sum, rice). The large shrimp was easy to eat, slightly spicy, and delicious. The dim sum included jadeite dumplings, rice cake meatballs, and black pork shumai. The pickled vegetables went well with the slightly firm rice. Not enough rice - can I get a refill? But the place got busy with customers coming in, so I didn't ask. Maybe I should have ordered some steamed buns as an addition. It's been a while since I had delicious shrimp chili. Thank you for the meal.

Dinner budget around 4-5000 yen. A highly popular Chinese restaurant in Izumi Chuo, representing the Izumi region. Open for just over a year, but the reputation is quite impressive. After being recommended by @azu1124t and a few others for their excellent Mapo Tofu, I finally made a reservation and visited with friends. We ordered the signature dishes such as Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork, Mapo Tofu, and the Chinjao Hells Steak (recommended by AZU-san). Each dish was surprisingly delicious and of high quality, with a refined flavor that lacked the greasiness often associated with Chinese cuisine. The Steamed Chicken Trio was tender and flavorful, while the Prawn in Mayo Chili Sauce was packed with juicy prawns. The Sweet and Sour Pork was incredibly tender with a perfect balance of black vinegar sauce. The Mapo Tofu lived up to its reputation with a delightful aroma and a pleasant level of spiciness. The Chinjao Hells Steak was a luxurious delight with incredibly tender meat. Overall, every dish, dessert, and drink was satisfying and the bill was surprisingly affordable. The quality of the food far exceeded the price, making it a great value for money. The restaurant was bustling with customers coming and going, so making a reservation is recommended. Although it may not be a place you can visit frequently, I would love to come back again in the future.

Counter seats are a few seats and table seats are about 6 seats in a small shop!! It's a popular place, so making a reservation is recommended. I had made a reservation a long time ago, but on that day, I caught infectious gastroenteritis and had to cancel. So this time, I finally got to order the following items that I had been wanting to try: - Black vinegar sweet and sour pork lunch set 1380 yen - Shrimp chili lunch set 1380 yen - Explosion soup dumplings 600 yen I chose the shrimp chili as my main dish, and the shrimp was really big and delicious. It was shrimp chili, but not spicy, so it was easy to eat. I also tried a bite of the sweet and sour pork, and the meat was tender and the sauce was very tasty. My mother also said it was delicious! I'm happy with the portion size for this price. I will definitely go there again. There are so many delicious restaurants opening up in Izumi City recently.

Izumi City, Karakunicho 2-7-64 Amulet Izumi Chuo 1F [Chinese Dining Yui] @c_dining_yu I ordered this dish that I was curious about because of the "numbing spiciness" that was introduced on Kansai TV's "Yo-i Don"✨ Ma Po Tofu (numbing spiciness) ¥1,350. Hand-chopped minced meat with Yui's original blend of bean paste and homemade chili oil, this dish has a spiciness that becomes addictive (comes with salad, pickles, soup, 3 dim sum, and rice). It really numbs you~~ I tried putting it on rice like a Ma Po Don... Spicy❗️Numbing~~ but delicious. A must-try for those who love spicy food. The 3 kinds of dim sum are all delicious as well~ Spring rolls (2 pieces) ¥500. The skin is crispy, and the inside is soft and flavorful, so it is recommended to eat it without any additional sauce. I also tried a bit of the shrimp chili that my family was eating, and the shrimp was big and crunchy. I will definitely go back to try the shrimp chili next time. They also offer takeout. #ChineseDiningYui #IzumiCityGourmet #IzumiCityLunch #IzumiCityTakeout #IzumiCityChinese #IzumiChuoLunch #IzumiChuoGourmet #SouthOsakaGourmet #SouthOsakaLunch #DeliciousRestaurantsInSouthOsaka #KansaiGourmet #MaPoTofu #RestaurantFeaturedOnTV #FlukeOfficialAmbassador

I felt like eating Chinese food, so I checked the reviews on Tabelog and decided to visit this restaurant. It was just before they were featured on the TV show "Yo-i Don" top 3. I made a reservation just before and the restaurant was almost full. It seemed like there was only one chef, so the menu was smaller compared to regular Chinese restaurants. Also, the dumplings were served with vinegar and pepper instead of sauce, and the spring rolls and xiaolongbao were eaten without any additional condiments. This might not be satisfying for those looking for more traditional flavors. The steamed buns had no filling like braised pork, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, the staff explained the recommended dishes verbally, but they didn't mention the prices clearly, only saying things like "plus how much for this dish," so I couldn't order confidently without knowing the actual prices.

Visited a Chinese restaurant within walking distance from home for the first time. As I was dining alone, I was seated at the counter where there was a place to store my belongings under the chair, so I didn't have to worry about where to put them. For lunch, there were three lunch menu options to choose from. I ordered the "B Lunch Mapo Tofu (numbing spiciness)". The staff confirmed with me if I was okay with the spiciness and numbing sensation. After placing my order, I went to wash my hands in the restroom, which was clean and even had cotton swabs available. The highlight, the mapo tofu, offered a spiciness and numbing sensation that you wouldn't typically find in a regular Chinese restaurant. As someone who enjoys spicy food, I was hoping for an even stronger level of spiciness and numbing sensation, so I asked the staff about it. They explained that they can adjust the level of spiciness and numbing sensation. Initially, they served dishes with an authentic level of spiciness and numbing sensation, but many customers couldn't handle it, so they have since toned it down. If you want the same level of stimulation as the authentic dish, you can simply request "Make it spicier" when ordering.

On my first visit, I tried black vinegar sweet and sour pork, mapo tofu, large shrimp in chili sauce, spring rolls, egg fried rice, sesame dumplings, almond jelly, and other recommended dishes. I was intrigued by the sesame oil chicken, but I was too full to try it. The sweet and sour pork was just to my liking. Each dish was perfect for sharing among 2-3 people, allowing us to try a variety of flavors. The prices were reasonable, considering the quality of the food. The restaurant is located in a quiet area, but I believe it will become more popular in the future. The service was good, although I think a few more smiles from the staff would enhance the overall atmosphere. I look forward to trying the sesame oil chicken next time. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Last time, I visited the stylish Chinese restaurant "Yui" for a lunch drink on Saturday afternoon. Two weeks later, I revisited with my family on a holiday night. By the way, when I called for a reservation in the early afternoon on the day, the table seats were full and only the counter was available. It seems to be quite popular. Regarding the dishes I ate, compared to lunch, the dinner menu has a wide variety of single dishes. In addition, the staff verbally introduced the recommended dishes of the day that are not listed on the menu. Let's try ordering and eating dishes that catch our interest, from the classics to the recommended dishes of the day. The dishes I ate that day were like this... - Spring Rolls (3 pieces for 750 yen): The skin was crispy and crunchy, and the filling inside was gooey and delicious. It goes well with a fizzy Shanghai Highball. - Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork (1400 yen): The pork used in this dish is lean pork loin, so it's not fatty but tender. The rich and intense flavor of black vinegar goes well with it. - Xiao Long Bao (600 yen): A recommended dish of the day, the steamed dumplings were thick and chewy, with a burst of soup inside. Very juicy and delicious. - Tajima Chicken Spicy Fried (1400 yen): Another recommended dish of the day, the crispy fried chicken with a generous amount of spice on top was flavorful and went well with drinks. - Large Shrimp in Chili Sauce (1300 yen): The classic shrimp dish was enjoyable, with a nice texture and mild spiciness. - Shrimp Miso Fried Rice (1200 yen): An interesting dish with shrimp miso, the fried rice had a good mix of flavors, but the slight seafood smell from the miso was a bit disappointing. - Char Siu (1200 yen): Roasted pork with a miso-like sauce, crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. Goes well with Shaoxing wine. In conclusion, the two recommended dishes of the day, Xiao Long Bao and Tajima Chicken Spicy Fried, were highlights. The Char Siu was also unique and delicious. The total bill for the day, including drinks like beer, highball, Shaoxing wine, jasmine tea, and non-alcoholic beer, came to 10,990 yen. It was a satisfying meal.
