Sometimes I feel like casually visiting Nipponbashi Den Den Town in Osaka, and this time I went looking for home appliances. Lately, the town has become more of an "otaku" district rather than an electronic appliances hub. That's just how times change. But, I got hungry. It was lunchtime, so I decided to stop by "Tamakazen" that I found along the way. They had a wide variety of lunch menu options, including daily specials. I chose the daily special menu for today, which was "Yurin Chicken Set Meal." I also changed the rice to "fried rice." Ordering was done using the tablet on the table, which is quite modern. The food arrived promptly. It was quite a generous portion. I started with the "Yurin Chicken." The crispy fried chicken skin had a nice texture. However, the meat portion felt a bit lacking. But there were plenty of vegetables to make up for it. The side dishes included a "salad," a side of "tofu," and "soup," making the meal well-rounded. The cost performance was excellent for this lunch.

I visited a restaurant in Nipponbashi, Osaka for lunch on a weekday. I ordered the daily special B (Tenshinmen set) for 850 yen (including tax) using the touch panel at the table. The dish arrived in about 7 minutes. Hmm, the Tenshinmen was a bit different than I expected... The punch was lacking in flavor and didn't go well with the noodles. I used the pepper provided on the table to finish the meal. I regret my order selection. Thank you for the meal.

Hello everyone, it's been a while *\(^o^)/* I took a break from writing reviews for a while, but I'm sure all the fans know the reason, right? Yes, I was out on a tour in Osaka in February (*^▽^*) I visited a total of 12 places, so now I have a lot of reviews to catch up on (ﾉД`) I need to finish the reviews from the January New Year tour quickly (^_^;) I have 6 reviews left, so I'll do my best to update them... Now, after leaving Another 98, I headed to Imamiya Ebisu Shrine. Today is the last day, and since it's the remaining fortune day, I thought there wouldn't be many visitors, but as you can see from the photos, it was quite lively. However, compared to the night festival, the east side road was relatively easy to navigate. Unfortunately, due to COVID, the stalls and events like the "hoehoeho Ebisu Treasure Chest" were canceled, which made the festival a bit less lively than before. But it seems like COVID will be under control by May, so I'm sure next year's festival will be lively again *\(^o^)/* Back in Ebisucho, I headed north towards Nihonbashi, and since I hadn't had any rice dishes since the first Western-style restaurant, I suddenly felt like eating fried rice. So, I searched on Tabelog and found this place called Tamakakuen. It seems like they renovated the store last year. Despite passing by the front of the shop countless times, I honestly had no memory of this place... How forgetful can a person be? (laughs) As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was guided to a table near the entrance. I usually take a photo of the menu when I visit a restaurant, but this time, it was a tablet order system, so there was no physical menu. I ordered a draft beer first (^o^)/ It's cheap to have draft beer at a Chinese restaurant for 480 yen, considering it's usually around 600 yen in town. I operated the tablet and chose the shrimp fried rice this time (=^▽^)σ After a short wait, it arrived *\(^o^)/* The shrimp was there, but it seemed a bit lacking compared to the picture on the panel. The taste was average. This was the fourth place I visited that day. I returned to Amza for a break before the night was still young...

I visited the restaurant "Tamakayuen" for lunch on this day. It is a Chinese restaurant located on the main street of Nihonbashi. It recently reopened after a renovation. I arrived early after the reopening and the restaurant was indeed beautiful! The ordering system has changed to a touch panel at each table. It was a bit confusing at first, but I managed to order the "daily special set for 850 yen" which included Bang Bang Chicken and spring rolls. The portion size was generous, but I must say I got a bit tired of the Bang Bang Chicken with this amount. Thank you for the meal!

Today I had a lunch set that included mapo tofu rice bowl, spring rolls, xiao long bao, and soup, as well as a side order of dumplings. The mapo tofu rice bowl had a slightly sweet and spicy flavor, very delicious. The xiao long bao seemed to be frozen, but they were decent. The dumplings I ordered separately were flavorful with a chewy skin, absolutely delicious.

Went to "Gyokkaen" in Ebisucho with a friend. We ordered the Mapo Mala Ramen with 2 levels of spiciness and 2 levels of numbness. It was spicier than expected, so I recommend going with level 1 spiciness if you're not confident in handling heat. The tofu was nice and silky, not just spicy but flavorful. However, I wish the noodles were a bit firmer. The service was also good.

On Sunday at 1:00 PM, I walked to the dealer again and in 5 minutes, I arrived. "Welcome! Wow, it's cool in here." I had various things I wanted to eat but decided on the mapo tofu set meal. In just 4.5 minutes, it was served. "Here you go!" "Wow, that was fast. Did you microwave it?" No, it's just so hot that I can't eat it right away. The tofu was steaming hot and delicious. It wasn't too spicy, just right. The fried rice was light and fluffy, very tasty. Maybe white rice would be better with the mapo tofu. I will come back again, next time I'll try the recommended set meal. (They even had beer for lunch, enjoy!) The restaurant was quiet with only a few people, maybe due to the impact of the coronavirus. I hope more people will visit in the future.

Fukuseiro is a famous restaurant in the Nihonbashi area known for its decent taste and affordable prices. I had always wanted to try their Mabo Mala Ramen, a spicy dish that they are known for, so I decided to give it a try. The service at this restaurant is incredibly fast, and my Mabo Mala Ramen arrived promptly. Upon tasting the soup, I found it to be quite mild, with a thin soy sauce-based broth and a hint of spiciness from the floating chili oil. While not extremely spicy, it did have a strong kick from the red pepper. The noodles were standard egg noodles, and the topping of minced meat sauce went well with the 100 yen rice that came with the lunch set. Mixing everything together, including the soup and toppings, enhanced the flavor and made it quite enjoyable to eat.

Just a short walk north from the north exit of Ebisucho Station on the Sakaisuji Line, you'll find this longstanding restaurant called "Tamakaden" under the Nihonbashi arcade. Despite the atmosphere of Nihonbashi, this place offers a variety of authentic Chinese dishes. The daily lunch specials are a great deal, usually offering around three different options. I ordered the daily lunch set for 750 yen, which included tantanmen, half fried rice, 2 pieces of karaage, and dessert. If you go before 5 pm, you also get a free cup of coffee or black oolong tea. The portions and flavors were very satisfying, but be careful as the set menu items come out at different times, so you might end up eating the karaage last. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious Chinese cuisine. Thank you for the meal!

Emisumachi Station is about a 5-minute walk away, quite far from the area known as Otaro Road in the Nihonbashi region, so it may not be considered a central area anymore. However, back when Joshin's Excite and Sofmap's main store were around, this area felt more like Nihonbashi. This Chinese restaurant is a valuable lunch spot at the far end of Nihonbashi. They offer several daily lunch specials and serve lunch until quite late (4 pm), which is convenient if you missed the regular lunch hours due to shopping. The daily set menu is reasonably priced at 750 yen. The food is quite average with no particular standout features, but you can enjoy a self-service coffee after your meal until 4 pm. Having a coffee after the meal allows you to relax a bit and take a break without feeling rushed during the hot weather. However, it's a shame that smoking is allowed during lunchtime. Reading reviews mentioning the possibility of sharing a table during busy hours, I would avoid coming during peak lunch times.

This is a restaurant located in Nipponbashi, Osaka, Japan. I arrived a little early before my appointment with a customer, so I decided to visit this Chinese restaurant. It seems like many people are ordering the daily lunch set menu, probably because it offers good value for money. The restaurant is crowded, indicating that it is popular. I was seated at a shared table since I wasn't very hungry and ordered the "Niku Shoyu Ramen" from the a la carte menu. The staff assisted me in broken Japanese. Recently, there has been an increase in locally owned restaurants. The food was served in about 5-6 minutes. The soup, which is a soy sauce-based broth with a lot of pork oil, was surprisingly light despite the visible pork fat. The noodles were medium-thin and straight, providing a satisfying texture. The ramen was topped with pork belly slices and grated daikon radish, which added a refreshing touch when mixed into the soup. More customers kept coming in as I ate, and it seemed like there were more tables at the back of the restaurant. The interior was quite spacious. I finished my meal and once again enjoyed a delicious bowl of ramen. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Tamakazen in Nihonbashi 5-chome on Sunday because Fukuseiro in Ebisucho does not serve lunch on Saturdays and Sundays. On this day, they had lunch sets available, with Set A being mapo tofu, Set B being miso ramen with half fried rice, and Set C being tantanmen with half fried rice, all priced at 750 yen each. I ordered Sets A and B. The lunch mapo tofu was milder compared to the regular dish, but I wonder if they can make it spicier upon request? They also offer all-you-can-eat options for 2980 yen, which is quite impressive. They have a variety of Chinese dishes like tsukemen, showing their dedication to providing a great dining experience.

Dinner at this place after several years. The menu is still very extensive. There seem to be a few more options than before. I really wanted to eat the Sichuan mapo fried rice this day, so I came here. There's no way this combination wouldn't taste good. I was satisfied and full after the meal. There are still many more menu items I want to try, so I definitely want to come back. Thank you for the meal.

Located a short distance north of Ebisucho Station on the Sakaisuji Line and Hankai Tramway, right in the heart of Nipponbashi Den Den Town, is a Chinese restaurant. The interior, which can accommodate about 60 people in total, consists of table seating with private rooms available for small gatherings. The "Original Sichuan Mapo Tofu Fried Rice" (980 yen) is a perfect choice for those who want to enjoy both mapo tofu and fried rice. The mapo tofu is served on a round plate, similar to curry rice, with a dark color from the fermented black bean sauce and topped with green onions. It has a subtle sweetness and moderate spiciness, but the numbing sensation from the Sichuan peppercorns is quite strong. The tofu is soft and fluffy, with a strong meaty flavor due to a generous amount of meat. The fried rice is light and fluffy, with a restrained seasoning that complements the mapo tofu well. The soup, with added seaweed, is incredibly flavorful.

There was also an all-you-can-eat and drink option for two people, but it was not the discounted price of 2980 yen, it was 3500 yen. The restaurant used to be a Chinese restaurant, but now it has been renovated and rebranded as a Chinese dining room. The ramen, made by Chinese chefs, is more suited to Japanese tastes and quite delicious. Interestingly, ramen made by Chinese chefs often tends to be not very tasty. The fried rice was quite bad, but the fried chicken was delicious! Overall, the restaurant is clean, comfortable, and a good choice for a cheap Chinese restaurant. #ChineseDiningRoom #AllYouCanEat #2980yen #Renovation #WangHuaYuan #DeliciousFriedChicken #RamenAndMiniFriedRiceSet

I ordered lunch. There were various side dishes and you can get a large portion of rice. I had sweet and sour pork, which had plenty of meat and vegetables. I am very satisfied.

First visit after the renovation. The interior is now clean. I had Lunch B (meat soy sauce ramen, rice, chicken).

This is a Chinese restaurant. The food is not greasy and easy to eat. The restaurant has been renovated and looks clean and welcoming. The lunch menu is recommended.

Service A (Daily special set meal with mixed vegetables and fried chicken) for 750 yen. The mixed vegetables are full of veggies and the fried chicken is crispy, making it a great set meal! It's very filling and leaves you satisfied!
