I bought a Fukubukuro from Ootoya, which had a lot of coupons, so I've been visiting Ootoya quite often lately. I've pretty much tried all the menu items at Ootoya by now. Every time I go, I don't take photos, so I'm using what I have left. It's not a fish shop, so the tuna is a bit disappointing. The rice is warm, but the top is cold, so it feels lukewarm. It's good for your health, but it's not the best. If it's Ootoya, I think I like the Ootoya lunch set the most. The pumpkin croquette is sweet and delicious. Next time, I need to use the sauce that came in the Fukubukuro for cooking at home. Thank you for the meal!

This is my first time here. It's been a while since I last visited Ootoya. The interior of the restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. There are many small tables for a few people. The menu is extensive. I was in the mood for fish, so I was deciding between mackerel or something else. In the end, I chose my favorite, grilled Atka mackerel set meal. I was able to change the rice to multigrain rice. The Atka mackerel was plump and tender. I was happy that it came with spinach with sesame dressing and plenty of grated daikon radish. Atka mackerel is quite expensive even at izakayas, so I'm glad I could have it as a set meal here. I looked through the menu and noticed that there were no noodle dishes, and they were having an Asian fair with a few options, but not many to call it a fair. Still, it's fun to have seasonal menu changes. I will definitely come back here when I feel like it. Thank you for the meal!

The unbeatable number one menu at Ootoya, "Chicken and Vegetable in Black Vinegar Sauce," is a must-try! The dish costs 1,060 yen and looks visually appealing with a good mix of colors. The black vinegar flavor is mild, with a hint of apple vinegar adding a nice touch. The vegetables are cooked perfectly, and the chicken is coated with just the right amount of flour, giving it a crispy texture and rich flavor. Overall, the dish has a gentle taste without being overly healthy, and the balance of saltiness is just right as a side dish for rice. The miso soup that changes with the season, the delicious white rice, and fresh vegetables all complement the main dish well. The price is reasonable, and it's no wonder this restaurant is popular. It's a chain that offers everyday meals that appeal to women. Not bad at all.

When I came here before, I remember being impressed by this kind of set meal restaurant! But this time, it was a bit disappointing. The miso soup was like hot water. Maybe they forgot to put in the broth. There was also very little miso. It really tasted like hot water. I had the black vinegar sauce set meal with chicken and vegetables, and my husband had the miso-marinated pork loin...I think that was the name. I forgot. The black vinegar sauce was too sweet for my taste. Personally, I wish I could taste a bit more vinegar. The pork loin seemed overcooked. The meat was tough. I hope this set meal restaurant can become better than home-cooked meals.

"At Ootoya, I tried the oyakodon set meal (served with pickles and miso soup) and the taste was quite good. However, the egg was completely cooked and in a solid state, so it may not be suitable for those who prefer runny eggs in their oyakodon. Since it's autumn, the limited-time menu using plenty of mushrooms looked delicious."

The other day, I saw a feature on Ootoya on TV and it made me want to visit after a long time. So, for today's lunch, I decided to go there. I arrived around 2:30 pm, so the restaurant was empty and I was promptly seated by the staff. They recommended the Fried Oyster Set, but looking at the menu, I was quite overwhelmed by the variety of options. After much contemplation, I decided on Ootoya's most popular Chicken and Vegetable in Black Vinegar Sauce Set (with chewy five-grain rice, large portion/810 yen) and a side of Kimidama (100 yen). My girlfriend ordered the Ootoya-style Chicken Nanban Set (with chewy five-grain rice, large portion/728 yen) and a side of Homemade Tofu with freshly shaved bonito flakes (182 yen). Ootoya prides itself on in-store cooking rather than using a central kitchen, so I was expecting the dishes to take a while to be prepared. However, to my surprise, all the dishes arrived in about 10 minutes. Even though the restaurant was empty, the efficiency in serving the dishes showed that their operations are well-managed. At first glance, the portions seemed larger than I had expected from looking at the menu. By the way, changing from white rice to chewy five-grain rice is a complimentary service, and you can also request a large portion (180g to 300g) for free. I wanted to feel full with healthy multigrain rice, so I asked for a large portion of five-grain rice, and it came in a bowl, which was quite amusing. The vegetables coated in thick black vinegar sauce were deep-fried, giving them a nice texture and allowing the flavor of the vegetables to shine through. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, with a crispy exterior and a succulent interior. My girlfriend's Chicken Nanban had sizable pieces of chicken thigh, perfectly fried to a crispy texture, which paired well with the tartar sauce drizzled on top. The tartar sauce on the side was rich in egg flavor and not too tangy, more like a salad dressing. The homemade tofu, made fresh every morning in each store, had a strong soybean taste, and the freshly shaved bonito flakes added a perfect umami touch. The Kimidama, marinated in thick soy sauce, had a rich yolk flavor. I couldn't help but think, "I want to take this to go!" Apart from these, the sweet and savory bonito flakes sprinkled on top, and the side salad (cabbage, tomato, broccoli, potato salad) that came with my meal were all well-seasoned, and considering the price and portion sizes, it felt like a great deal. As we finished our meal, we were served warm tea, which refreshed our palates. The staff here maintained a smiling face and provided pleasant service, making us feel satisfied and healthy after the meal. With such a wide range of menu options, I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for the meal!

I visited "Ootoya Sapporo Kiyota Store" located on Tsukisamu Street in Kiyota 2-jo 1-chome. This was my first visit to this restaurant, which is connected to the "175°DENO Tantanmen Lounge HOKKAIDO" that I visited last month. The restaurant is located next to it, so I decided to give it a try. I arrived before the opening time, and the restaurant has a large shared parking lot in front, which was convenient. As soon as they opened, I entered and sanitized my hands at the entrance. The menu was extensive, with a variety of Japanese dishes to choose from. After some consideration, I decided to order the Charcoal-Grilled Chicken with Green Onion Sauce set meal for 800 yen. It was served in about 20 minutes, and the dish was generously topped with ginger and green onion sauce. The dish had plenty of vegetables, which I liked, but the ponzu sauce at the bottom was a bit too salty for my taste. The chicken was slightly crispy and tender, with a sweet marinade that went well with the rice. They also offer the option to change the rice to "mochimochi Gokoku rice" for free, which was a nice touch. My wife ordered the Basil Chicken Salad set meal for 940 yen. It was a healthy set meal with a focus on vegetables, including a side of basil chicken and hijiki seaweed rice. The separate serving of plum sauce was a nice addition. We also received a complimentary Akamoku side dish through the restaurant's app. The restaurant mainly caters to an older clientele, and the service was polite and well-trained. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Ootoya DENO set meal. Thank you for the delicious food!

2020/5 ★ Side dish set for 1200 yen along the Kiyota Route 36 Stay-at-home during Golden Week I feel like it's not just a week, but a whole year of staying at home (￣▽￣;) I have no motivation to work... but... I also don't have the desire to work... The best way to save money is to not leave the house! However, I don't feel like my own cooking goes well with alcohol (´Д` ) I want to eat something made by someone else, so I decided to order takeout as a side dish for my evening drink. You can order online from the website and pick it up without waiting. If you don't need rice, the "side dish set" is a good option (*´∀`)♪ Choose 4 items for a total of 1200 yen including tax. You can choose 2 main dishes, 1 side dish, and 1 small dish as you like, with a maximum savings of 1010 yen. The main dishes I chose were sake-steamed cod with black vinegar sauce and miso chicken charcoal-grilled. They go well with both rice and alcohol, with a strong flavor. The sides were kinpira burdock, simmered hijiki seaweed, and red and white pickled vegetables. It's healthy and delicious (o´∀`o)ﾌﾌｯ The two side dishes I chose were A) mini grilled mackerel and B) spinach with sesame dressing. The mackerel with just the right amount of fat was refreshing with plenty of grated daikon. The spinach with black sesame seemed good for health (*´艸) My selection was a good deal for 500 yen less ( ´∀｀ )b Thank you for the meal (^ω^)

I'm heading to Kaikatsu CLUB Kiyota store to work on a report. It's almost 5 pm. I decided to have an early dinner in the Kiyota area, right before Kaikatsu CLUB. The parking lot is shared with the ramen restaurant next door, and there were no cars parked there at this time. I felt like eating fish today, so I couldn't decide and ended up ordering the cheapest option, the grilled mackerel set meal with multigrain rice. Since there were no other customers, they quickly refilled my tea when it ran out. The wait was quite long, I wonder if they were really grilling the fish over charcoal. The mackerel was delicious with a nice amount of oil. The multigrain rice was chewy and tasty, I wanted to get seconds. By the time I finished eating, there were about 4 more groups of customers. I felt at ease and left, saying I will come again.

"I have been to 'Yayoiken' before, but this is my first visit to 'Ootoya.' The prices here are slightly higher compared to 'Yayoiken.' The atmosphere inside is more like a family restaurant than a traditional set meal restaurant. I was seated and greeted by the staff who provided water and tea. Looking at the menu on the table, there were many options to choose from. After some contemplation, I decided on the 'Charcoal-grilled Four-Element Pork with Soy Sauce and Miso-marinated Chicken Set Meal for 1,080 yen including tax.' I called the staff over to order rice. I waited for more than 15 minutes, which felt quite long. It wasn't very crowded, so I wonder if it was due to the influence of COVID-19. The staff were not wearing masks or gloves, and I didn't see them using hand sanitizer either. I would appreciate it if they could sanitize their hands after serving each dish. I have reflected this in the service evaluation. The 'Charcoal-grilled Four-Element Pork with Soy Sauce' was well-seasoned but the meat was a bit tough, perhaps cut too small. The 'Miso-marinated Chicken' was very tender and delicious, with the sauce complementing the green onions and onions well. The 'Pickles' portion was small and seemed like leftovers. The 'Miso Soup' was average. I couldn't fully enjoy my meal as I was distracted by other customers and various things happening around me. It might have been the wrong timing. Thank you for the meal."

Today, we visited the "Ootoya Sapporo Kiyota Store". We parked our car in the spacious parking lot and followed our senior colleague into the restaurant. We were guided to our seats by a cute waitress. Both of my senior colleagues ordered the "fried chicken set meal". I decided to go with the "seiro soba" as a single item. Despite there being a waitlist, the food was surprisingly served in about 10 minutes. The set meals ordered by my colleagues seemed like too much for me to finish (laughs). I immediately started eating the soba noodles. They were thin with a firm texture, just the way I like them! I dipped them in the dipping sauce... which had a strong flavor that I found to be okay! I slurped up the noodles in one go and finished my meal. I wished there was soba broth to drink at the end, but oh well... Thank you for the meal! (^O^)／

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while, and finally visited with my mother who is a regular customer. They mainly serve Japanese cuisine, but also have Western dishes and noodles, making it hard to choose from their extensive menu. Despite my love for rich dishes, I decided to go for the "Steamed Vegetables with Barley Miso Soup Set" as I had eaten too much the day before. The set came with a generous amount of food, including dessert of sweet red beans, but the total calorie count was 488 calories!! Oh, I also got extra rice, so it must be a bit higher (^-^;≡^-^;) The steamed vegetables in the set included cabbage, green beans, shimeji mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, lotus root, and two slices of pork belly, all served with walnut miso sauce. The cabbage was almost raw, which might be tough for those with weak teeth. The pickled Chinese cabbage was almost salt-free, and tasted delicious with the sesame salt seasoning on the table. The seasoning was so tasty that I sprinkled it generously on my rice. My mother had the "Black Vinegar Glazed Cod and Vegetable Set", which also had plenty of colorful vegetables. It was a healthy and well-balanced meal that allowed us to enjoy a variety of vegetables. Every time we pass by, the restaurant always seems busy, and now I understand the secret behind its popularity. Thank you, Ootoya, for the delicious meal! :)

Free drink bar coupons were available, so two of us visited for the first time. We had already visited the Tomakomai store, so we chose this one. Hiroshima oyster fry set meal (4 pieces) for 970 yen, with a little less rice for an additional 20 yen. Seasonal dessert, purple sweet potato parfait for 420 yen. Drink bar for 290 yen, but it was free with a JAF coupon. Since it was a special occasion, we tried the oyster fry. There's no disappointment with oyster fry. You can choose between five-grain rice and white rice. It's helpful that you can ask for less rice when you're not feeling hungry. The dessert is limited edition and looks great, so we chose the purple sweet potato parfait. The menu says "refreshing sweetness," but both the paste and sweet bean paste were sweet. Currently, the seasonal dessert has changed to "kumquat parfait." The service was proper, and the restaurant was popular with customers coming in one after another. The free drink bar for up to three people was generous, but we were the only ones ordering from it. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant in Sapporo when I went there for a training seminar. It is located along the national highway with a spacious parking lot, making it very convenient. We ordered dishes using black vinegar, as well as a tuna bowl and shared them with my family. The taste was consistent and satisfying, typical of a nationwide chain restaurant. We paid with points we had accumulated from previous visits, getting a discount of 1,000 yen. It felt like a great deal to pay such a small amount.

I went for the first time today! It was my first time going with my child. I've been to the ramen shop next door before, but I mistakenly thought they were connected inside! It turns out they are not related at all. I didn't know that. I had seen a feature on Ootoya on TV and had always wanted to go, so I finally got to go to Ootoya. But then, I forgot my phone and couldn't take any photos, typical of me. Haha. The menu was bigger than I expected, which made me happy. My child ordered the unusual hamburger steak with miso demi-glace sauce for 940 yen. I ordered the black vinegar sauce with chicken and vegetables for 890 yen, which my junior colleague had highly recommended before. I chose the large set meal. I was happy that you could choose individual items as well. You can also choose the size of the rice and even opt for multigrain rice, which is wonderful. Healthy. My child requested less rice, which was 20 yen cheaper. And then, my child ordered the children's set meal, which included udon, fried chicken, and tomato salad for about 390 yen. The cost performance seems good. The restaurant was not crowded, and the drink bar was easy to use. The drink bar may not have a wide variety, but it offers cola, Calpis, tea, etc., which children would enjoy. Personally, I prefer warm hojicha. I can't cook the dish with black vinegar at home, so I really enjoyed the delicious and rich flavor at the restaurant. The onions and lotus root had a nice crunch to them. The carrots were not too soft, which I liked. The cabbage salad was fresh and tasty with a dressing that had a Japanese flavor. I thought it would be even better if they had mayonnaise. As a mayo lover. It's a shame there are no photos. Even though this is my own record of forgetfulness. I would like to refer to other people's reviews before I try again next time. Thank you for the meal.

Today's dish is grilled mackerel. It's fatty and fluffy.

The sweet and sour chicken is the best. And my wife had the summer vegetable stir-fry.
