A nearby restaurant called Victoria has been renovated. When I visited, I found that robots were serving food using a touch-panel system. The robots were cute. I ordered my favorite salad bar dish from Victoria. They had a variety of cut vegetables, cold pasta, seasonal salads, jellies, and fruits. Everything was kept very cold, almost to the point of being chilly, but it made the vegetables and dressings taste delicious. I left feeling satisfied after eating a full plate of salad. The cashier was operated by a staff member. I would love to visit again when I crave a bellyful of salad.

[Completely non-smoking] This is a restaurant of a nationwide family restaurant chain, Victoria Station, located along the national highway in Atsubetsu-ku, Sapporo. As of 2023, Victoria Station is one of the main brands of Big Boy Co., Ltd. This restaurant is located along Route 12 in Atsubetsu-ku, about 60 meters from under the elevated JR Chitose Line towards Sapporo city center. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from Shin-Sapporo Dungeon. I remembered the existence of this restaurant after seeing a review by the revisiting reviewer, Sakura Shifon, before. I had completely forgotten about it because smoking was allowed during weekday lunches, so I thought I would never go back. When did it become completely non-smoking? Now I can visit at least once every 2-3 years, right? I arrived just before 2 pm on April 9, 2023, and it was crowded, even though I had delayed my lunchtime. I was guided to the only available seat and ordered using the touch panel. I ordered a set menu with hamburger and domestic sausage for 990 yen. The sauce was garlic, with no extra charge. There was also a salad bar, rice, and curry bar for 490 yen. It took about 10 minutes for the food to be served, which was faster than I expected considering the crowded situation. As expected of a family restaurant. It's nice that you can enjoy the salad bar and rice curry bar while waiting, so you don't feel like you're being kept waiting. The curry wasn't spicy, but it had a nice kick from the pepper, surprisingly good. The salad was much appreciated, especially in this season with few fresh vegetables. The potato salad was quite tasty too. I was able to enjoy the hamburger and sausage without getting tired of them until the end. I'm satisfied. I tried to be fancy and arranged the white and yellow rice like a sunny-side-up egg. It was me, Mogutan, who will turn 50 in a few more months. Hooray! Hooray!

Weekday lunch at Victoria's is always packed with a salad bar included in the satisfying grill lunch. The grill lunch comes with a salad bar, soup bar, rice bar, and curry bar. It's amazing, right? Lunch is such a great deal. I was torn between the grilled chicken and the hand-kneaded hamburger 140g for 1,089 yen, but I went with the hamburger and I was surprised by the quality and quantity for the price. The thickness of the hamburger was just right, perfectly cooked with plenty of meat juice, tender and juicy. The flavor of the meat was also very well balanced and the onion sauce complemented it perfectly. The salad was delicious and I really enjoyed the limited-time spring dish, the spring nanohana tarako pasta. The rice and curry were so filling that I only had a little bit of each. Oh, the curry... was it always this delicious? Some people even asked for seconds. It's a popular choice. I left feeling completely satisfied. I hope Victoria's, despite having fewer locations now, will continue to thrive. I will definitely be back. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Located along Route 12, the Victoria Station salad bar in Atsubetsu also comes with a soup bar for 780 yen! It's a great deal♪ The hamburger was okay, but the salad bar was a nice touch. I even indulged in mango jelly and pineapple, and left feeling full and satisfied (o´艸`) Thank you for the meal.

Thank you always! I always order the same thing and even though it's a steak restaurant, I always go for the salad because of my age. But it's really helpful. So, I decided to order dessert occasionally. I tried the Only Chocolate Parfait. While eating, I realized that if I added the regular coffee jelly to it... it would be endless coffee jelly! It was super delicious! By continuing to visit, I can enjoy my own arrangement without causing any trouble to the restaurant.

After finishing my morning work in Atsubetsu Ward, I had some time before my afternoon appointment so I decided to walk towards Shin-Sapporo Station from quite a distance. I stumbled upon a family restaurant with a steak and hamburger theme and decided to have lunch there after looking it up a bit. It was past 1 pm, so the restaurant was relatively empty and I was able to find a table easily. I ordered the "Handmade Hamburger Plate (858 yen)" which seemed to be their base menu item, with a choice of "Demiglace" sauce. I also opted for the "Drink Bar (198 yen)" set. The plate menu is a dangerous one as it comes with a salad bar and soup bar (laughs). Even though I tried to be moderate, I ended up having multiple refills of both salad and soup. The main "hamburger" was made of delicious meat and topped with tasty demiglace sauce. It was a satisfying and high-quality hamburger served with stylish side dishes in an atmospheric Western-style restaurant. Although I have visited Hokkaido many times, this was my first time discovering "Victoria Station". It is a steak restaurant born in Hokkaido, which has merged with "Big Boy" and is now part of the Zensho Group, which includes "Sukiya" and "Hama Sushi". While "Big Boy" seems to have a quite similar menu, I personally preferred the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of "Victoria Station" over the smoky impression of the former. Both "Tonden" and "Victoria Station", born in Hokkaido, are of high quality and I have come to like them.

Located along Route 12 in the Atsubetsu area, Victoria Station is a restaurant with ample parking space next to the building, making it convenient to visit. I was in the mood for hamburgers for lunch, so I decided to try this restaurant for the first time. The interior has many booth seats and a bright atmosphere. Even though it was lunchtime, I was seated right away without having to wait. They offer two types of hamburgers, "hand-kneaded" and "big bale," but I prefer the texture of hand-kneaded meat, so I ordered the "Hand-Kneaded Hamburger (200g) with Demi-Glace Sauce for 748 yen." Since I was hungry, I also ordered the "Buffet Set (550 yen)" which includes all-you-can-eat soup bar, salad bar, rice, and curry. The variety of vegetables at the salad bar seemed to have decreased compared to before, but the corn soup at the soup bar was delicious with a rich flavor. The hamburger arrived in about 10 minutes. It had a tender texture, and juices oozed out when I cut into it. It paired well with the light Demi-Glace sauce and was very tasty. The hamburger alone wasn't filling enough, but I had seconds of curry, so I left the restaurant feeling satisfied. The prices vary depending on the dishes chosen, but they offer affordable lunch menus on weekdays, making it a good option when you want to eat meat without spending too much.

★Jerk Chicken (Night Queue Set) 990 yen ★Draft Beer 280 yen Along the Atsubetsu Route 12 Deadline approaching, using up expiring d points Free meal night dinner (๑´∀`) From 5 pm on weekdays, there is a "Night Queue" all-you-can-eat full set starting from 900 yen (Salad/Soup/Rice/Curry/Drink Bar) super worth it ( ´∀｀ )b I tried the new "Jerk Chicken" and also... beer ( ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ With the drink bar included, for 280 yen with a coupon, you just have to drink it (o´艸`) The buffet requires wearing a mask and gloves, and for the salad bar, there is a vinyl curtain for splash prevention, better than nothing haha The salad is reasonably fresh, replenished in small amounts frequently. There are 2 types of soup that change daily, on this day there was consomme and corn, with few ingredients and a light taste. The curry has 2 types, white rice and turmeric, with spice adjustment done with chili powder, served hot on an iron plate. The Jerk Chicken has a mild spice level, the chicken is tender and comes in a generous 200g portion, with plenty of jalapenos which is great♪ Good cost performance, reliable family restaurant quality (^^)b Thank you for the meal (^ω^)

Sometimes I feel like eating a hamburger, so I visit Victoria Station, which is mainly located in Hokkaido. I ordered the 8-cheese hamburger (with demi-glace sauce), rice, and seaweed and mushroom Japanese-style salad (with onion dressing). I'm not sure if there are really 8 types of cheese mixed in, but the melted cheese is delicious. Scooping up the melted cheese from the hot plate is also tasty. The hamburger itself is quite ordinary, but when dipped in the demi-glace sauce, the richness of the demi-glace and the simplicity of the meat blend well. The rich pudding, which I thought might be a simple pudding based on the menu, turned out to be a well-made pudding. It was a delicious pudding with a high density of eggs and milk, as befitting its name "rich." I might want to see a menu item like a Big Rich Pudding in the future. Thank you for the meal. The cost performance is very good, so it could be a candidate for muscle-building meals.

On August 22, 2020, at Victoria Station Atsubetsu store, I ate some meat, which specific cut is unknown but likely to be beef. When eating this kind of food, it is convenient to use a fork. As a Japanese person, I usually use chopsticks for most things, but a fork is handy for grilling meat on the hot round plate provided. It was delicious.

You were supposed to be playing with your friends since morning, right? That's why I just invited you to go out for lunch on purpose (sweat). But you still haven't gone to play yet (^_^;) I see you're exchanging messages with that friend. A friend from Shin-Sapporo asked, "Are you coming by subway or JR?" But someone sent "Totoron car!" without permission (￣▽￣;) So, the three of us came here (；∀；) and then two of them started getting excited about beer and wine. Totoron had the drink bar (；∀；) I had iced cafe au lait and oolong tea... For food, I had wine-steamed clams and bacon and clam pasta! Both dishes have clams in them! (；ﾟДﾟ) Well, they were both delicious though. Well, since it was fun, let's consider it a good time (*^^*)

After the end of the golden time on Saturday, a busy King restaurant with no smoking allowed caught my eye. I usually get full with the buffet, so I ordered the reasonable daily special. The soup was Chinese, the salad from the buffet, using disposable gloves with tongs. I ordered mild curry and non-red pickles. The main dish arrived sizzling, but I started with the salad and curry. The chicken was big and juicy, the croquette was decent. For dessert, I conquered almond jelly, strawberry and plain fruit cocktail, and coffee jelly. The almond jelly was replenished when finished. I will come back when I want to eat cheaply and get full.

2020/2★ Full Set (Handmade Hamburger) 900 yen Passing by a restaurant along the Atsubetsu Route 12, I noticed a banner that caught my eye: "Full Set 900 yen"! I was curious, so I looked it up and found out it's such a great deal (*´∀`)♪ Family restaurants can be surprisingly expensive, right? I always end up spending over a thousand yen if it's not a weekday lunch. So, it's nice to be able to eat at this price (^^)b Limited to weekdays after 5 pm! You can choose from 4 main dishes, and it comes with a salad bar, soup bar, rice, curry, and a drink bar all for 900 yen. The handmade hamburger caught my attention with the cheese inside, but I'm not a fan of cheese sauce, so I skipped that. Then, it's self-service from there~ First, the salad! They say you won't gain weight if you start with vegetables, right? It's not super fresh and crispy, but it's definitely a good deal for the price. The mild curry is not spicy, suitable for all ages. The turmeric rice has a hint of coconut flavor. There are 2 soup options: corn soup and red tomato chili soup. I love the spicy chili soup~ (*´艸) The sizzling hot handmade hamburger oozes with meat juices when you stick your chopsticks in. It's delicious (*´∀`)♪ Hamburger and white rice go well together, right? However, the rice was a bit too soft, which was disappointing (>_<) Plus, with free drinks, it's all under 1000 yen including tax! Such a great deal d(￣Д￣)b Thank you for the meal (^ω^)

Today is the last day of my four-day weekend! It's January 3, 2020. It's the day we go for our first shrine visit of the year. Yesterday was the 49th day since my late grandfather passed away. My wife, second daughter, and I went to Shiraishi Shrine. I got a "Chuukichi" fortune, my wife got a "Kokichi" fortune, and my daughter got a "Kichi" fortune. I got a traffic safety amulet and a health amulet (I have back pain), while my wife and daughter got good luck charms. After visiting the shrine, we went to the supermarket next door for our annual shopping spree. We aimed to spend only 10,000 yen. We brought a cooler bag and bought sashimi, Genghis Khan (grilled lamb), and a box of canned coffee. The parking lot was full on the ground floor, but empty on the rooftop. For lunch, we drove to National Route 12. I chose a restaurant on the left side, passing a big "Nitori" store. We arrived at a place with signs for "Victoria" and "Gusto". Luckily, there was parking space available. The food was visually appealing and delicious, especially the salad and curry rice. The staff were experienced and the service was perfect. The restaurant is either called "Steak Victoria" or "Victoria Station". I will ask "Zensho" for confirmation next time. Thank you for the meal!

It was a baked tomato cheese hamburger, I think? I also chose tomato sauce. When I cut it, all the cheese came oozing out. It was more like cheese sauce than cheese. The hamburger itself wasn't very tasty... it seems like they're trying to make up for it with the cheese. The presentation was also lacking. However, for 1280 yen, it's cheap because it comes with a salad bar, soup bar, rice, and curry. To be honest, I go to Victoria every time just for the salad bar. The food isn't anything special, but the salad bar is more extensive than other buffet restaurants. They even had somen noodles and dipping sauce at the salad bar. I didn't try it because it was just plain boiled somen noodles with no condiments.

I wanted to eat something quick and easy nearby, but it was really hot outside so I decided to go to this place with air conditioning where I could relax. It's been about 20 years since I last visited here, although I think I might have been here about 10 years ago in Obihiro. I used to come here a lot when I was younger. I remember going to the salad bar and eating lots of corn or lychee. Today, my whole family ordered handmade hamburgers. They were delicious, and I think they cost around 750 yen. The rice was a bit overcooked and had a strange smell, so I poured curry over the saffron rice and it tasted pretty good. I sprinkled chili powder on top and it made the flavor even better. We all enjoyed it so much that we went for seconds. The soup bar was included as well, but the soup was just okay. For dessert, I had a berry ice cream which was also pretty tasty.

I went to "Furanoya" that I saw in Takatoshi Land, but it was full so I gave up and came here instead. It was hamburger day, but there was no special recommended menu. My husband had the cheese-in hamburger and chicken steak buffet set for 1280 yen plus tax, and I had the cheese-in hamburger with whole roasted tomato buffet set for 1280 yen plus tax. They said it's non-smoking all day on weekends and holidays. They brought salad and curry. They gave us large cherry tomatoes this day. I love tomatoes, but the hamburger came out quickly? Whole roasted tomato? It's just a peeled tomato! And it's only half! They didn't even peel it properly, they just roasted it? Oh well, never mind. The total bill was 2764 yen including tax. Ah! I forgot the JAF member discount coupon!

After drinking barium, make sure to stay hydrated and eat properly! However, it was too early and there were no open restaurants... I really wanted to eat a lot, maybe I'll go to Ousho after all~ As I wandered around, I found this place that opens at 10 o'clock. I chose the cheapest option, which comes with everything except the drink bar. I ordered the hamburger lunch set for 928 yen including tax. It was delicious and hot, but I should have added cheese. I also tried the salad, curry, and soup that came with it. The soup was called Red Tomato Chili or something like that (I can't remember katakana even though I haven't been drinking). It was delicious! I think I drank 4-5 cups of it... It was cheaper than all-you-can-eat and had just the right variety for me. I am satisfied, satisfied ( ´ー｀)ﾌｩｰ...

I went back after a long time and found out that the Big Tawara Hamburg was back on the menu. I wasn't a fan of it before, but since it's back, I decided to give it a try. It used to be cooked on a hot stone, but now it comes with a small separate grill. It's fueled so the temperature stays consistent, but having it on a separate plate makes it a bit of a hassle to cut and eat... When considering the balance between effort and taste... hmm. I think I'll stick with the hand-kneaded hamburg. The change in the salad plate and overall upgrades make me appreciate the restaurant more.

★Handmade Hamburg Lunch for 626 yen in October 2018 It's been 25 years since I last visited Victoria. The ramen shop I wanted to go to for lunch at 3 pm on a weekday was closed (>_<) It was difficult to find a place open at this time, so I decided to go to the nearby Victoria. Even at this time, it was full of older ladies! It seems to have become a place for local residents to relax? When I was a teenager living alone, I used to go there often. My friends and I would go for a meal at Victoria, where we could get a cheap hamburger or chicken for around 500 yen. Back then, my goal was to become an adult who could afford to eat a steak that cost around 1,000 yen (*´艸｀*) And now, after many years have passed, I have become an adult who can afford to spend around 1,000 yen, but unfortunately, my stomach can no longer handle such large portions. From the lunch menu, I chose the cheapest option, the "Handmade Hamburg" for 580 yen (excluding tax), which comes with rice, curry, and soup bar. Ultimately, I ended up eating the same cheap meal as before. I decided not to order the salad bar after seeing a child poking tomatoes with their bare hands (^^;) While waiting for the hamburg, I had the appetizer of curry rice. The curry sauce was a bit runny and the ingredients included potatoes, carrots, onions, and minced meat, giving it a taste similar to a commercial product. No complaints, though. The soup consisted of Chinese-style and corn soup, both in small portions. I tried both and they were fine. The sizzling hamburg was about 150g and was soft and had no particular taste. It went well with the onion sauce and white rice. For this price, I can't complain at all. Thank you for the meal (^ω^)
