I came to Expo City, but everywhere was full due to the Obon holiday. I managed to secure a seat at the food court and chose to eat at Hokkyokusei because it was relatively empty. I wanted to eat omurice, so I chose the Chicken Omurice for 950 yen, along with cream croquette and a drink (cola) for an additional 500 yen. It was nothing special, but it was delicious.

Takoyaki alone wasn't enough, so I also added a Chicken Omelette Rice from <Hokusei>. The Chicken Omelette Rice costs 950 yen. You can watch them wrap the omelette rice right there. The chicken rice was a bit dry and hard, not very easy to eat. The seasoning was mild though. Well, it's a food court so speed is prioritized. That's the overall feeling. Thank you for the meal!

I visited Polaris in the food court of Expo City around 12:15, but it was really difficult to secure a seat... It was packed with people on a Saturday afternoon. After thinking for a while, I decided to have omurice at Polaris, which I hadn't had in a long time. I went for the classic Chicken Omurice (¥950). The fluffy egg was delicious without being too heavy, but there were hardly any ingredients inside... For ¥950, it's too expensive. It would be more reasonable to have it for a lower price, maybe around ¥650 or less. The service at the register was also not great. I don't think I want to go back again.

When it comes to omurice in Osaka, Hokkyokusei is a well-known spot. It's becoming a chain restaurant, but the food is still delicious. I ordered the Hayashi Hamburg Omurice, which comes with butter rice inside. The egg was soft and went well with the Hayashi sauce. The flavor was light, which I appreciated. The side pickles were refreshing. The hamburgers were tender and there were two of them, making it a satisfying meal. It's a bit pricey in the food court, but considering the parking fee, it's understandable. I don't usually go to chain restaurants, but I recommend this one. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Founded in 1922, the "Hokusei" is the powerhouse of Osaka's omurice, celebrating its 100th anniversary. While I have been wanting to visit the main store, I had the chance to try it at a food court in a shopping mall on New Year's Day. I ordered the Chicken Omurice (large) for 1,250 yen. The atmosphere created by the chef making the omurice was amazing, and the skill in wrapping the omelette was impressive. The omurice itself was delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors and a generous portion. Despite being in a food court, the quality was top-notch. The taste was exactly what I had been looking for in an omurice. The rice was nicely fried with a tangy ketchup flavor, and the sauce was a perfect blend of demi-glace and ketchup. The vegetables added a nice touch without making it too heavy. Overall, it was a fantastic dish that exceeded my expectations. I look forward to visiting the main store someday. Thank you for the meal.

My wife wanted to eat omurice, so we ordered the mushroom omurice at Hokusei. It was delicious as always. However, the cream croquette that came with it was a bit cold. Also, it was served on a small plate, so it lacked the visual volume I was expecting. Well, considering that this is a food court and other places serve it on a plate, I guess it's understandable.

There are 12 shops in the food court: Sendaitan-ya Rikyu, Machimura Farm, Fruit Bar AOKI Shizuya, Sanuki Udon Magokoro, Takoyaki Originating Shop Osaka Tamate, Aizu-ya Original Omurice Hokusei, Torisanwa Nihonbashi Tendon Kaneko Hanzo, Tsujita Hawaiian Gourmet Burger Kuaina, and Nationwide Donburi Yatai. The seating capacity is 1200, with a spacious and diverse dining environment. The menu includes items like Mentaiko Omurice and White Omurice, with various toppings and sauces available. The restaurant accepts credit cards and electronic money, and is accessible via Osaka Monorail from Banpaku Kinen Koen Station.

I visited a famous omurice chain restaurant located in EXPOCITY's food court. Here is the menu I had today: - Beef Omurice: 1,050 yen (tax included) - Total: 1,050 yen (tax included) Being a well-known omurice chain, the taste is consistent and reliably delicious at this restaurant. If you're ever unsure of where to eat in the food court, choosing "Hokusei" would be a safe bet. I look forward to trying a different variety of omurice next time. Thank you for the meal.

I really like the Omurice at Hokkyokusei, so I went out of my way to visit the Lalaport store after hearing they have a Dry Curry Omurice. However, it seems like the menu I saw was outdated and they no longer offer it. I was really disappointed. So, I ended up getting the Beef Omurice and Fried Chicken set instead. It felt different compared to the Horie store, maybe it's just my imagination, but it didn't taste as good. I'm not sure if it's because of my health condition. It was still tasty, but things are a bit complicated.

First visit to the most famous omurice restaurant in Osaka. For some reason, I had never been here before. The most basic chicken omurice was delicious with its traditional fluffy egg and mild sauce. Unlike many cafes where the ketchup flavor is too strong, the tomato sauce here has a gentle taste that even Kansai locals would enjoy. I now want to visit the main store in Minami as well. It was delicious, thank you for the meal!

When it comes to Hokkyokusei, it's known for its main branch in Shinsaibashi. The building, built in 1950, has a pure Japanese style and offers excellent Western cuisine. Over time, they expanded and became a specialty omurice restaurant in Horie. This is such a Osaka-like area. I haven't been there, but I have been to Kitahama. I only had the impression of non-commercial facilities, so I was amazed when I saw that it's actually centered around commercial facilities, especially food courts! I didn't know at all, so I remember being really impressed when I saw it for the first time here. Watching omurice being made is always fascinating. The ketchup rice is quickly stir-fried, then the egg is cleanly cracked and seamlessly incorporated in the pan, rolled up beautifully by the staff in a split second. It's not the fluffy type of omurice, but rather the firm type. Personally, I like this type, so I'm happy. Of course, it was delicious.

After leaving the hospital, we decided to go to Expo for lunch! My daughter and I had the Ladies' Set with a large portion at Hokusei, and I chose the Mushroom Omelette Rice. I felt like the taste has declined compared to when I used to frequent it in Shinsaibashi, but it was still a good meal. Thank you!

The popular restaurant Hokkyokusei, known for its delicious omurice, has a branch at the food court in EXPO City. I finally had the chance to visit and tried their standard chicken omurice for ¥850. The omurice had a gentle and mild flavor. I wonder if it tastes the same as the original store.

I was at Lalaport Expo City in Suita♪ Had lunch at the 3rd floor food court♪ - Chicken Omelette Rice 850 yen (excluding tax) - With Mitsui Outlet Park credit card, the drink was free! Thank you! The omelette rice was thinly and skillfully wrapped with egg♪ It had plenty of meat and was delicious at the food court♪ Just for your reference, this was from the Hokusei Star Lalaport Expo City storeヾ(*´꒳｀)ﾉﾞ❀~~~

Visited in February 2020, posted on April 18th (all information is from the visit) - A quick lunch at the food court in the Lala Port EXPOCITY store. Decided to try the original location of omurice, which I had never tried before, at Hokkyokusei. The predecessor of the current Hokkyokusei, Shigeo Kitahashi, started a Western-style restaurant called "Panya no Shokudo" in Shiomibashi, Osaka (now Naniwa-ku, Osaka) in 1922. This is where the famous Japanese Western dish, omurice, was born. In 1925, a regular customer named Kodaka, who always had an upset stomach, was served a special dish by the young idea man Shigeo, consisting of ketchup rice wrapped in a thin omelet. Kodaka loved it and exclaimed, "What is this delicious dish?" Shigeo quickly responded, "It's omurice," and that's how omurice was born. Ordered: - Ladies' Set for 1200 yen, with a choice of chicken or mushroom omurice. Selected chicken. The fluffy and soft thin omelet wrapped around the ketchup rice was delicious, with a special ketchup sauce that was sweet and not too sour. The homemade crab cream croquette and slightly firm pudding were nostalgic. Be careful, as the ketchup might spill over to the caramel side. Enjoyed with orange juice. It was delicious! The Ladies' Set is not too filling, more like a fun adult-kid set. In fact, the only difference from the kids' set is the choice of soft drink and croquette or fried chicken and shrimp. It's fun to choose based on your mood. - For a more visually appealing version with photos, please visit the blog: [link provided]

In Shinsaibashi, there is Hokkyokusei! I ordered mushroom omelette rice with cheese topping and consomme soup. It's a food court, but the omelette rice tastes delicious. The egg is fluffy and creamy, the ketchup rice is seasoned just right, and the cheese is gooey. The sauce is light and easy to eat, and it's rare to have pickles on the side. The quality was unexpected for a food court. Thank you for the meal!

I tried the tsukemen at Tsujita, while my wife had the omurice. It was a unique experience in the food court. The restaurant has a long history, founded in Taisho 11 (1922). I heard it is the birthplace of omurice. Oh, the main branch is in Shinsaibashi? I definitely want to visit the main branch next time. (≧д≦)

I ordered the Chicken Omurice from a famous Osaka old-fashioned restaurant located in the food court! It was a traditional "The Omurice" with a beautifully thin omelette wrapped around a light and tasty omurice. Thank you for the delicious meal! ❤

There is a shop near Osaka Monorail Banpaku Kinen Koen Station in Expo Park. It is located inside the food court. The omurice with fried rice, not tomato rice, is delicious. It is better to eat at the main store where the atmosphere is nice and the food is delicious. This is obvious, isn't it?

At Expo City during lunchtime, I wandered around trying to decide what to eat and ended up discovering Hokusei in the food court. I had never tried the omurice at this restaurant before, as I used to eat it at other chain restaurants (which focused on butter rice and had large portions), but I found their flavors too rich and oily, so I had drifted away from omurice in general. Here, I ordered the simplest chicken rice omurice with demi-glace sauce. The price was a bit higher, probably due to the expo, but the chicken in the chicken rice was quite generous, which was nice. I wished there was a bit more rice, but I was satisfied at 80% full. The taste was light and refreshing, just the way I like it. I might return to omurice again (laughs). If I come back here, I would definitely want to eat it again.
