Today's wife's request: "I want to eat meat." She liked the restaurant called Cowboy Family before. In other words, she wants to eat steak. When reviewing Cowboy Family, I received information from a fellow reviewer, "Todowara," that Victoria has also changed its style to a dish-centric approach where rice and salad are freely available, like Cowboy Family. So, we decided to go to Victoria, which we had been avoiding for a few years. We went to the nearest Iwamizawa store! I was surprised by the number of cars parked! A few years ago, when I came, it was empty, but now there were quite a few cars. When we entered the store, the atmosphere was almost the same, but it was almost full. It seems that changing the style has attracted customers. Looking at the menu, it's the same style as Cowboy Family. What caught my eye was the "Thick-cut Pound Sirloin Steak"! And they seemed to be having a sale to celebrate the Fighters' victory. 1 pound = 450g. It's impossible to eat this alone. We ordered a set for two. We also got the drink bar. However, if you use the drink bar, it will be added to the bill at checkout, so ordering wasn't necessary (laughs). Now, it's a buffet style, so we checked what they had! There was curry. The salad was decent. The soups were Minestrone and Corn Soup. There might have been one more before... I made a mini curry for tasting. And I made a salad. The curry is spicier compared to Cowboy Family. But it's not really spicy. It's a thinner type. Well, it's okay (laughs). The salad is also decent and tasty! My wife also had the same impression and was happy. Then the Pound Sirloin Steak appeared!! Haha... I couldn't help but smile. Wow!! This chunk of meat is amazing!! The 450g is impressive just to look at! It's tough to cut because of its thickness. But the cut surface looks nicely rare. I'll eat it with the sauce. Hmm. I see. This has a good bite! The meat itself is not top-notch, with a certain level of firmness and no marbling, it's surprisingly light. I don't dislike this kind of meat. My wife also seemed to like it. We're both digging in quite heartily (laughs). Even if we split it evenly between the two of us, it's over 200g per person. It was a satisfying meat! In terms of the atmosphere of the store and the uniformly good service of the staff, Cowboy Family is far superior. But when it comes to just the food, Victoria is decent. I don't plan on using it frequently, but I'd like to come back occasionally when I'm in the mood for meat again! Thank you for the meal!!
