It's a place that I'm not sure if it's Toyonaka or Suita, but judging from the name Toyonancho, it must be Toyonaka. I remembered that there used to be a public bathhouse called Shichifuku that I loved, but it's gone now and I haven't visited this place in a while. I thought there was a Chinese restaurant nearby, so I decided to visit. - Tianjin fried rice ¥600 incl. Hmm, the flavor is a bit mild... in more modern terms, you could say it has a "gentle taste"... the sauce is a bit thin, and the portion is not very generous. - Gyoza ¥350 incl. This one has a strong flavor. It's delicious with a crispy texture. - My friend had the Chinese set meal ¥800 incl. I got a taste of the Mapo Tofu and Squid Tempura. Hmm, a "gentle taste" again... I need to use the table salt. - They have ashtrays for lunch, and it has a drinking atmosphere at night. Above the 2005 championship team's autographs, there's a G Warrior sign haha, I don't mind this chaotic feeling. Across the street, there's a Kura Sushi. And they had a certain public relations newspaper... The old lady is very friendly. That's all...

A man who usually only drinks coffee for breakfast decided to treat himself to a morning meal at Gusto. By lunchtime, he was still full. However, his son was giving him a hungry look. He thought about quickly getting some self-serve udon to satisfy his son, but then he remembered a nearby Chinese restaurant that he had never visited before. It had caught his eye for a while, being a small, traditional Chinese place that seemed to have been around since the Showa era. Curious about why it had lasted so long, he decided to give it a try. Upon entering, he saw only one other customer enjoying a lunch beer. He ordered the Chinese set meal (800 yen) with stir-fried beef and vegetables, kimchi fried rice, and white soup noodles (small), and the service set meal (700 yen) with kimchi fried rice and white soup noodles (small), with an additional order of dumplings for his son. The dishes arrived one by one, with the white soup noodles being larger than expected and the kimchi fried rice having a generous portion enough for two people. The flavors were gentle and not overwhelming, making it easy to eat. The stir-fried beef and vegetables had a unique bitterness to it, and the balance between the three dishes was just right, making it easy for the man and his son to enjoy their meal. The added dumplings were of medium size, with a thin and chewy skin and a tasty filling. The total cost for the meal for two was 1,150 yen, which was quite affordable. There were two more customers who seemed like regulars, and the atmosphere created by the owners was warm and welcoming, indicating that it was a local favorite. The man regretted not visiting sooner. It was a delightful meal.

This is a popular Chinese restaurant located about 500m south of the "Hama" intersection on the inner ring road. I had always wanted to visit whenever I passed by. Finally, I had the opportunity to eat here and found a review from 7 years ago. The restaurant has a counter with 7 seats and 3 tables for 4 people each. The background music is from the TV. [Smoking allowed] Ashtrays are provided, so smoking is allowed. The menu offers a variety of options, including lunch Chinese set meals and service set meals. The Chinese set meal for 800 yen (tax included) includes Harumaki, Stir-fried leeks, Curry ramen (small), and Rice. The service set meal for 700 yen includes Stir-fried leeks, Curry ramen (small), and Rice. I chose the Chinese set meal for the extra 100 yen for Harumaki. The Stir-fried leeks were delicious with a spicy soy sauce flavor, and the Harumaki was a pleasant surprise with a generous filling. The set also included fried small fish, chicken karaage, and a generous salad. The Curry ramen, however, was a bit disappointing as it lacked curry flavor and the noodles were clumped together. The owner seems to be a fan of the Hanshin Tigers baseball team, with Tigers merchandise displayed around the restaurant. This might create a cozy atmosphere for Hanshin fans. (Translated by AI)

The restaurant is located along a national highway and has a cozy atmosphere loved by the locals. They offer set menus as well as individual items. I ordered fried rice and dumplings. It was my first time at this restaurant so I went with these classic dishes. The fried rice and dumplings were decent in taste, nothing outstanding but not bad either. Since I pass by this place often, I might come back when I feel like having Chinese food. The prices are reasonable, making it a convenient place to dine at.

Here, I always order the "Nagasaki plate udon," which is noodles fried on the spot and topped with a thick sauce. The owner says, "Back when Downtown wasn't popular yet, they used to make jokes about our plate udon." (Is that true?) The owner is a big Tigers fan.
