Fried rice with five ingredients for 680 yen. I keep coming to Asahi every day as if I were on a sinking ship. It's like putting the cart before the horse to go to Ichikawa after Asahi, it's all mixed up. Namo~ (Kagemaru). The fried rice had eggs, pork, and green onions, but I couldn't figure out the other two ingredients. The fried rice was slightly moist and salty. It didn't have any outstanding features, but it was just a tasty fried rice. I forgot to buy the sauce yakisoba... You can use PayPay.

It was a shop that I was curious about because it is located in front of Shiko Station and I often pass by the front of the store. A friend of mine said it was delicious, so I visited for lunch on a weekday. I ordered the Ebi Chili set meal for 1080 yen. You can choose from tonkotsu ramen, shoyu ramen, or Taiwan ramen for the half-sized noodles. I chose Taiwan ramen. It came with bamboo chicken, pak choi, and a mini almond jelly on small plates. Lastly, a small cup of iced coffee was served. I wish the Ebi Chili had a bit less sweetness to my liking. Many Chinese restaurants in town use too much sugar, so I guess it's normal. The sweetness was enjoyable with about 2 shrimp, but since there were about 7 shrimp, the sweetness lingered in my mouth after finishing the meal. I managed to finish it by balancing it out with the soy sauce flavor of the Taiwan ramen. I also tried a bit of my companion's hot and spicy pork, which was also on the sweet side. There were 7 parking spaces available, and the food arrived in about 5 minutes after ordering, so it seemed to attract office workers who quickly eat and leave. The turnover of customers seemed to be good, so it was rare to see the restaurant full and unable to find a seat.

Over the weekend, my family and I stopped by this restaurant nearby for lunch. We arrived a little before noon and noticed that the place quickly filled up with customers, indicating its popularity in the area. The menu offered reasonably priced set meals, but we decided to order a variety of dishes a la carte. We tried the liver and leek set meal, chicken and cashew stir-fry (880 yen), soy sauce ramen, and Taiwanese ramen. We were surprised by how quickly the food was served, but all the dishes were tasty and well worth the price. To top it off, we were treated to complimentary iced coffee after our meal, making it a great deal overall.

During the Bon holiday period, my colleague and I visited the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. The place was moderately busy, with both tatami and table seating available. We chose the tatami seating. The menu was extensive, with an option for all-you-can-eat. I ordered the Taiwan Ramen set, along with Mapo Tofu Don. The food arrived in about 5 minutes and looked spicy. The Mapo Tofu Don had a nice level of spiciness, but the Taiwan Ramen was too spicy for me. I struggled to eat the noodles without choking. Lastly, we were served complimentary coffee, which tasted good. Next time, I plan to order Soy Sauce Ramen and Fried Rice.

I'm full and satisfied.

Located diagonally in front of Edakari Station, this Chinese restaurant is recommended for athletic guys looking for a hearty meal. One of the staff members speaks broken Japanese, while all communication with the kitchen is in Chinese. The staff members are all very friendly and energetic. The daily lunch special is priced at 680 yen and includes two dishes of the day, rice, pickled vegetables, soup, coffee, and dessert. On the day of the visit, the two dishes were shrimp mayo and stir-fried vegetables. The shrimp mayo was delicious, and the pickled vegetables were also tasty. The taste, price, and portion size were all impressive. I heard that you can even get a free refill of rice. I ordered the ramen set for 780 yen, which came with tantanmen and a Chinese rice bowl. You can choose from 5-6 different types of tantanmen and rice bowls. Contrary to my expectations, both the ramen and the rice bowl were a normal size. The portion was quite generous, and it might be too much for females. The menu also offers a plan for adults priced at 3480 yen for a 120-minute all-you-can-eat and drink option with over 70 dishes to choose from. This plan is perfect for coming with colleagues or family and eating to your heart's content.

In Hachiman Higashi Ward, at the corner of the Edako Station intersection on Prefectural Route 50, which opened last May, there seems to be a branch of the Chinese restaurant "Asahi" in Tagicho, Kokura Kita Ward. There is a parking lot for 6 cars on the right side of the alley next to the store. The exterior looks like it was originally a Seven-Eleven store, with only the sign changed. I visited around 11:40 on a Sunday morning. There is a stand sign in front of the store that says "Ramen Set". It includes "Taiwan Ramen, Shoyu Ramen, Shio Ramen, Tonkotsu Ramen" + "Chahan, Kaisendon, Mapo Don, Chuka Don, Tenshinhan", which is a high-value set that has been seen in many places recently. The interior of the store is spacious and comfortable. There are 2 tables for 4 people in the front left, 3 tables for 6 people in the center, 5 tables for 6 people in the raised area in the back, and 1 round table for about 10 people on the right. There was only one group of customers already seated. I sat at a table on the left in the back. There is a menu on the table, offering a variety of items including "Ramen Set" for 780 yen, alcohol sets, set meals, and a la carte dishes. It seems that a special "Daily Lunch" for 680 yen is also available during weekdays. I ordered the Ramen Set with "Taiwan Ramen + Mapo Don". There were two Chinese female staff members serving, chatting in Chinese. Soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, and pepper were placed on the table. A pot of cold water was also provided on the table. The Taiwan Ramen arrived about 6 minutes after ordering, followed by the Mapo Don. The Taiwan Ramen had plenty of minced meat, leeks, and chopped chili on top of a clear soy sauce-colored soup. The Mapo Don had plenty of tofu mixed with minced meat and topped with green onions. When I slurped the soup with the spoon that came with the Taiwan Ramen, I could taste the flavors of Chinese herbs and sweetness spreading in my mouth. The spiciness of the chili was not strong, and the saltiness was just right. The noodles in the soup were slightly firm. The yellow curly medium-thin egg noodles had a nice texture. The minced meat was lightly seasoned, with decent meatiness. I added chili oil from the table to enhance the spiciness. The Mapo Don was also mildly spicy, without much numbing sensation from Sichuan pepper. The rice buried under the Mapo Tofu was also slightly firm. I added chili oil to the Mapo Don as well to increase the spiciness. When I was about halfway through eating, a glass cup of hot coffee was brought to me. The female staff member, despite speaking broken Japanese, showed consideration by offering an umbrella when I left the store and waited at the traffic light in the rain.

I went to a Chinese restaurant called Asahi. I had always been curious about it on my commute, and finally had the chance to visit. It is located in front of Edamitsu Station, where there used to be a Seven-Eleven. There is a parking lot about 10 meters away, so it's convenient for those driving. The interior has both tatami and table seating, and it's quite spacious. This time, I ordered the ramen set for 780 yen, where you can choose one ramen and one rice bowl from four options each. I chose the Taiwan ramen and mapo tofu rice bowl that I had tried at Shikiko in Tobata before. I also ordered a chicken spicy stir-fry to share with two other people. In the kitchen, there was a lot of Chinese being spoken. The mapo tofu rice bowl arrived first. It wasn't very spicy, so I added some chili oil. When the Taiwan ramen arrived, it had minced meat and leeks as toppings. I took a sip of the soup, which had a distinctive soy sauce flavor. It was a bit disappointing because it wasn't as spicy as before. The chicken spicy stir-fry was served, and I mistakenly thought it was chicken nuggets, but it turned out to be chicken wings cut into pieces. Be careful of the bones. It had a nice level of spiciness, but it was a bit difficult to eat due to the bones. Nevertheless, it was delicious. The menu at Asahi is quite similar to Shikiko in Tobata. Perhaps it's a model case for Chinese cuisine? I was intrigued by the alcohol set they offered and would like to visit the restaurant again.

At a former convenience store... a Chinese restaurant? Drawn in by the flashy exterior, I wandered in♪ ■ Store Information The store is located across the road from JR Eda-Ko station. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the store (spaces 2-7). Seating includes three 4-person tables, three 6-person tables, a raised seating area for 6 people, and a round table for 8 people. The interior is surprisingly spacious and simple, but there can be a slight cigarette smell at times. ■ Menu & Prices The lunch menu includes daily specials (680 yen), noodle and rice sets, and various set meals, all priced around 700 yen. According to blogger information, the menu is similar to a Chinese restaurant in Tobata (Shikiko). ★ Liver and leek stir-fry set meal (780 yen) The day after eating this, I was surprised to find that my skin was in great condition (laughs) ● Main Dish (Liver and leek) Generously cut liver, bean sprouts, carrots, onions, and leeks in a spicy sauce. The dish is hearty, with the spicy sauce complementing the ingredients well. There is slightly more liver than vegetables, so some people might get tired of it halfway through. ● Soup A light pork bone soup with green onions, seaweed, and bean sprouts. A nice palate cleanser. ● Rice, pickles (lightly pickled radish) Served in a small bowl for women, the rice is soft and slightly smells of the rice cooker (bitter smile). ● Dessert (Almond jelly) Firm and bouncy almond jelly with a subtle sweetness. Easy to eat with its bite-sized portion. ● After-meal coffee A somewhat light Americano that goes down smoothly, even black. A nice way to finish the meal. By the time I finished eating, I was comfortably full. Surprisingly, there were more people ordering individual dishes than set meals, especially solo diners. I'll aim for the sold-out daily special set next time...♪ Thank you for the meal. ★
