On August 3, 2023, I revisited Saizeriya in Izumiotsu after a bowling tournament. Unfortunately, the rib steak was temporarily unavailable, which was the main reason we came back. Despite my daughter's disappointment, we ended up having lunch there. I ordered the chicken diavola-style, shrimp salad, and spaghetti with tarako sauce, while my daughter had the mini frittata and hamburger steak. It was a bit surprising to learn that the rib steak was such a popular item, being the most expensive on the menu.

Monday afternoon. The restaurant is bustling with female customers. The lunch menu is only 500 yen. Cheap! The kids' menu is also affordable, but not enough for a noodle-loving child. My grandchild has a weakness for cod roe pasta. A serving for one is 399 yen, which is wallet-friendly. I even shared some with my brother. My meat-loving brother ordered steak for lunch, which is surprisingly only 999 yen! To provide a cheap lunch, Saizeriya is the perfect place to go!

Visited with my wife for the lamb rump steak. Simply seasoned with salt and spices. The lean meat was delicious, but it was slightly disappointing that it didn't come with a side of rice to complement it well.

I visited this place with a friend for a cheap and light lunch. The food was decent and the cost performance was good. I had the Fresh Tomato Spaghetti for 499 yen, a 500ml decanter of red wine for 399 yen, and Cherry and Raspberry Milk Gelato for 299 yen. The portion size was good and the taste was not bad. The cost performance is good. However, it was disappointing that the non-smoking section was hot compared to the smoking section. It made the lunch quite uncomfortable. The staff seemed busy, but I hope they can improve this issue.

On Sunday at 2:30 PM, I went to have a late lunch with my friends. We wanted to enjoy our meal while chatting leisurely, so we chose this place. I'm always surprised by how reasonable the prices are here, no matter when I come. It's a family restaurant, so I know the prices are reasonable, but it still makes me really happy! The menu is quite extensive, with glass of wine for only 100 yen, which is amazing! The Pork and Soft-Boiled Egg Salad had a bit less pork, but plenty of vegetables. The dressing on the salad was delicious. And the Milan-Style Doria is a classic, starting at 299 yen. So cheap! It's a menu item I've loved for a long time. The taste hasn't changed, which is great. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal! ♥

Today's lunch was at Saizeriya. I originally wanted to go to a government office related place for lunch since it was a weekday, but I had some business at the coffee shop next to it, Yamamoto Coffee, so I decided to have lunch there instead. It's located on a back road that connects Izumi Chuo to Izumi Fuchu. In front of it is Wakiki Elementary School. When I entered, I was surprised to see that it was quite full. Despite being far from the station, why? Upon closer inspection, I realized that they were all young mothers with their children. Ah, I see, maybe because of the nearby elementary school. With that said, the ratio of men was close to zero. The menu consisted of weekday lunch specials, which was quite a good deal. It's almost like a one-coin lunch. The drink bar is an additional ¥110. There were a total of 8 menu items - 3 pastas, 2 gratins, 1 pizza, and 2 hamburg steaks. As a man, my only choice was between the two hamburg steaks. I chose the Hamburg & Chicken Cutlet for ¥500. The hamburger was finely ground like a sausage. The chicken cutlet was served with tartar sauce. The side salad was just cabbage. The presentation and taste were a bit lacking, so I hope they improve on that. Well, considering the price of ¥500, I can't complain too much. It would be nice if they had more menu options catering to men. Oh, but the majority of the customers were women. Visit date: February 4, 2015

I entered the restaurant during lunchtime on a regular day. About 40% of the seats were empty. I ordered the daily lunch special (hamburger and chicken cutlet) for 600 yen. You can choose between rice or garlic toast, and I chose garlic toast. It comes with a drink bar, so 600 yen is a good deal. The portion was just right, and even though I have a small appetite, I was able to eat to my heart's content. The taste was okay, not bad. The drink bar had a coffee maker where you could choose from espresso, cappuccino, and coffee. I particularly liked the cappuccino. I usually add sugar to my coffee, but this one was good as it is. I drank three cups of cappuccino alone, so I felt satisfied with my 600 yen. If I have the chance, I wouldn't mind going back again.

The Izumiotsu store is easier to get into and has a comfortable atmosphere. It's not that far away though.
