The "makunouchi" box for 600 yen includes both meat and fish, making it a good value. The grilled fish was a bit bland, which was disappointing. It would be nice to have condiments like soy sauce or sauce available at the counter. The fried chicken was freshly made, not like typical pre-made bento boxes, which was nice. The miso soup had bean sprouts and seaweed as ingredients. The menu is extensive and it's hard to choose. There are disposable chopsticks, toothpicks, and tissues available at the counter. You can also get a glass of water when you sit down. The counter can be a bit sticky. The service is decent.

◆Large Chicken Cutlet (250g) Extra Serving【600 yen】 Last time I tried the Mega-sized Fried Rice (almost 4 cups) and was surprised by its great value for money at this restaurant. This time, I tried a regular menu item. The extra serving of rice is about one cup. The 250g chicken cutlet is made with juicy thigh meat that goes perfectly with the rice!! The miso soup, which is surprisingly full of ingredients, also adds to the satisfying meal. All of this for only 【600 yen】 is fantastic♪ In addition to the Mega-sized menu, there are other tempting options like the ◆Thick-cut Ham Cutlet or the ◆Jumbo Grilled Meat Set (250g meat extra serving of rice) all priced at just one coin. This restaurant offers delicious and affordable meals. It's a bit far from where I live, but I will definitely go back!

◆Fried Rice Mega Portion【1,250 yen】Visited a restaurant I've wanted to go to for years for the first time! They have managed to maintain their weekly lunch special at just【500 yen】, which is really appreciated (please refer to the menu). The Mega Portion fried rice is about double the size of their regular portion, with almost 4 servings. It's a simple yet delicious combination of green onions, meat, and eggs, with just the right amount of salt and pepper to make it very satisfying to eat! It reminds me of the tasty fried rice from the now closed #Yasudaken, this dish really satisfies my craving for rice!! By the way, they also offer a ◆BIG Mega option for curry rice, which is about 5.5 servings of rice plus curry... Definitely impossible to finish, haha. Their regular set meal is only【550 yen】, with an option to add a large portion for an extra【+50 yen】. This is the kind of place I would want to visit every day, with a cozy family-owned atmosphere. Excellent!

Today is cold in Sapporo. The weather was forecasted to be rough, but it was just strong winds and not much snow. I was worried about bad weather causing public transportation to stop or be delayed, so I searched for shops within walking distance from my home the day before. It's been a while since I've been in this area, since last September. The building near the bus stop at Nishikawa Station looked like it used to be a pachinko parlor. Before entering, I used the alcohol sanitizer next to the entrance to disinfect my hands and fingers, then entered the restaurant. The interior had counter seats, raised seating areas, and was quite spacious. I naturally sat at the end of the counter. The restaurant seemed to have been in the food service business for many years, with a distinct smell of fried food. In front of me were hand-written menu on a whiteboard and regular menu. The whiteboard menu had items ranging from 500 yen to 600 yen, except for the beef sirloin steak bowl at 800 yen, which was quite affordable. There were only two staff members, and they recommended the specials on the whiteboard. I had decided on the omelette beforehand, but seeing the seasonal "Oyster Fry for 580 yen" on the whiteboard, I changed my mind. I asked for a large serving of rice for an additional 50 yen. While waiting, more customers in suits started to come in. After about 8 minutes, my order arrived. The plate had 5 large oyster fries, salad, spaghetti, tartar sauce, miso soup, and rice. The oysters were decently sized, and the tartar sauce was delicious. The miso soup was rich in flavor with lots of ingredients like seaweed, bean sprouts, and mountain vegetables. It was almost as rich as miso ramen broth without the fat, and it was tasty. The only downside was that 5 oysters with a large serving of rice wasn't quite enough. I felt like I needed to add another dish, maybe natto or eggs. But for 630 yen, I was full. I found a good restaurant so close by. They had some local dishes from Nemuro, and interesting dishes, so I'll definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

After finishing work in Nishikawa, it was time for lunch. I was invited by my colleagues to go to this restaurant that I had often passed by. The sign outside advertised a seafood bowl for only one coin, which had caught my attention before. It was a good opportunity to try it out. The parking lot next to the building where the restaurant is located was quite spacious, but it was crowded due to lunchtime. I managed to find a spot and went inside. The place was bustling with office workers and others. In the raised seating area, people were enjoying the all-you-can-eat lunch barbecue, and the smell of grilling meat made me even hungrier. This time, I decided to order the seafood bowl that had piqued my interest. The bowl came with five types of toppings - salmon, tuna, octopus, mackerel, and egg - all generously sliced for a satisfying bite. Some may find the toppings a bit mushy, but the inclusion of tuna and octopus made it a good deal for one coin. It also came with miso soup with onions and bean sprouts. Overall, the cost performance was good, and I would like to try other items on the menu next time. Thank you for the meal.

First visit for lunch - Salted hormone and bean sprout stir-fry ¥550 Second visit - Yaki-sakimono lunch set at Hachiga Makunouchi ¥550 - Notes - Nighttime is izakaya style - Parking available, so accessible by car - Lunch options start from one coin - Great cost performance - Friendly service - Extensive menu, so it's hard to choose - Miso soup had plenty of ingredients but was slightly overcooked - Makunouchi set had a variety of side dishes, very satisfying - Lunch buffet option available for yakiniku

I went for dinner. I ordered the Pork Cutlet Pilaf for 580 yen. The dinner menu is 100 yen more expensive, so it was 680 yen. It seems that the owner runs the restaurant alone, so if there are many customers, the service may take a little longer. However, my food arrived promptly. The dish consisted of pilaf-style rice with a pork cutlet on top, along with shredded cabbage and spaghetti salad. The taste was nostalgic and not as heavy as I expected. It was surprisingly not too rich and I feel like I could eat it every day without it being bad for my health (laughs). There is also a parking lot available. I will definitely come back when I am in the area.

When I was reading Chun's reviews, I felt like I had to come here. But I ended up coming at night instead of lunchtime. It's a place where you can eat all you want without soft drinks for 1,300 yen for 80 minutes! But if you don't get a drink, the seasoning is sweet and salty, so you'll definitely get tired of it! (laughs) As the reviews say, the basic plate has a good volume. So maybe they asked about the number of people on the phone? There's also preparation like thawing, so I guess that's why. They said you can only add Genghis Khan once because of the high price (;^_^A). In the end, I only ate easy-to-cook beef belly, so I had a really bad stomachache (laughs). They made it so that you can cook the yakiniku later, so only the tatami seats are available. That was the hardest part for me (´；ω；`)ｳｯ...

I came to this restaurant to eat katsu curry. There was one customer before me and 10 customers after me. The katsu curry options are: Regular 500 yen, Large 650 yen, Special 800 yen (serves 2), Mega 1,180 yen (about 2 servings of Large), BIG Mega 1,500 yen (1.5 times the Mega size). I ordered the Regular size. I estimated the sizes to be: Regular 280g, Large 420g, Special 560g, Mega 840g, BIG 1,260g. The katsu was thin but freshly fried, a bit overcooked. The curry sauce was on the heavier side, which I liked. The rice was firm. Overall, it was a simple meal but the fact that you can have katsu curry for just one coin is great. On my way out, the chef loudly said, "Please come again!" which left a good impression. Last time I had the soy sauce ramen, maybe next time I'll try the seafood bowl. It seems like they do a lot of takeout orders. (August 2019)

Seafood bowls, pork cutlet curry, and other daily lunch specials are all priced at 500 yen, making it a very affordable option for weekday lunches. In addition to the 500 yen lunch specials, they also offer curry rice for 400 yen and ramen for 550 yen, making it a very budget-friendly restaurant. I heard that they offer all-you-can-eat yakiniku during weekday lunch hours, so I decided to check it out. The all-you-can-eat yakiniku lunch requires reservations made in advance by the day before, and it costs 1,100 yen including tax for 60 minutes of unlimited access to 5 types of meat and sausages, along with one serving of rice and a soft drink. The meat selection may vary, but when I visited, they had beef kalbi, pork belly, lamb, chicken thigh, and salted hormone. The first set they bring out has a decent amount of meat, so you may not need to order extra. However, the only seasoning available is the sauce, so the taste can get a bit monotonous. I wish they also provided salt and pepper. Overall, it's a good option for those who want to eat a lot of meat. They also have generous portions of curry, pork cutlet curry, fried rice, and other dishes for big eaters to enjoy. I look forward to trying their one-coin daily special set meal next time. Thank you, Hachiko restaurant!

On a certain weekday, after having lunch and still having some energy left, I decided to check out a restaurant that I had bookmarked but was too hesitant to enter before. The restaurant had a spacious parking lot next to it, and as I entered the large building, I was surprised by the vast interior with a few tables and a raised seating area that looked like it could be used for yakiniku. The lunch menu had a surprisingly wide variety of options, with both regular items and daily specials at affordable prices. I decided to try the "Hamburger and Fried Chicken Set (580 yen)" this time. The food arrived quickly, and both the hamburger and fried chicken were hot and delicious. The atmosphere was a bit smoky due to the high smoking rate, but overall, the food was decent for the price. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant for the first time, which I had been curious about for a while. There is parking space for two cars next to the building. The opening hours are from 11:00. The restaurant is run by two men. I sat at the counter and looked at the menu, which had a variety of options. The prices range from 500 to 600 yen, which is quite affordable. They offer ramen, seafood bowls, curry, and set meals. They also have a lunch option for all-you-can-eat yakiniku. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen for 550 yen. It came with a choice of large, medium, or small rice, so I chose a small rice. The Shoyu Ramen was served promptly and included chashu, boiled egg, menma, seaweed, and chopped green onions. The chashu was on the meatier side. The soup seemed to be made with chicken broth, and had a noticeable sweet soy sauce flavor with hints of artificial seasoning. The noodles were thin and had a smooth texture. I enjoyed the small rice with seaweed and chashu from the ramen. The freshly cooked rice was a bit firm but tasty. The small size was actually quite filling for me. The voluminous Zangi dish that the customer next to me was eating looked delicious. I would like to visit again as they have a variety of menu options. (2019.06)

The first visit, I had the large chicken cutlet set meal which left a good impression. The second time, I tried the curry cutlet which was just okay. This time, I ordered the "large pork cutlet set meal" from the high cost-performance menu for 550 yen. It was still early for lunch and there were only a few customers, but the staff seemed busy with deliveries. The "large pork cutlet" that arrived was actually a small pork cutlet set meal? This was quite disappointing as it was not large at all. It was tough to eat, even though it was freshly fried. The only saving grace was the piping hot miso soup with lots of ingredients. However, overall, it lacked the feeling of being a good deal. It felt like it was cheap for a reason. After the disappointment with the curry cutlet last time, this was another letdown. I saw the fried chicken on the menu which looked good, so maybe I'll try that next time. I also considered the seafood bowl, but it seemed like it had a small portion. I'd like to try the weekly special menu next time. So far, it's one win and two losses for me. I'll win on my next visit for sure!

I visited this restaurant for the second time after being very satisfied with my first visit. I ordered the curry cutlet that caught my eye last time, but I was disappointed that it was priced at 500 yen. It was delicious but nothing special. The cutlet was small and thin for the price, and quite tough. The curry had more of a taste like a soba restaurant rather than a cafeteria. It was tasty. The portion size was decent, but maybe it's worth getting a larger size compared to the price? There are options for extra large, special large, mega, and big mega, so maybe it's worth trying those. There are still more menu items to try, so I might visit a few more times to see if it gets better.

It was unexpectedly difficult to find. I used a cheap car navigation system to search for the shop, so I had a hard time finding it once I got close. The building has a parking lot on the first floor, a few spaces on the right side of the building marked as "八起," but it's unclear if you can park anywhere else. There are menus and signs in front of the building, but they are surprisingly hard to notice. The first floor of the building exudes an old-fashioned dining district vibe, but it feels out of place. The shop is located immediately to the right as you enter the building. The menu offers very affordable prices and changes weekly. Upon entering, I felt a bit confused, but I found the atmosphere to be nostalgic and charming. The menu is incredibly cheap, and I wonder how they make a profit. The variety is impressive, and you could eat there every day without getting tired, at least for a while. The regular lunch starts at 500 yen, and the seafood bowl is also 500 yen. They offer curry and fried rice with extra-large portions, equivalent to about two servings. The curry, especially the pork cutlet curry, is 1.5 times the size of the extra-large portion. The prices are amazing, with the pork cutlet curry extra-large portion priced at 1,500 yen, which means each serving is about 250 yen. The all-you-can-eat lunch barbecue for 60 minutes costs 1,100 yen, which also caught my attention. The menu is truly wonderful. After some hesitation, I ordered the popular menu item, the large chicken cutlet set meal for 550 yen including tax. It was 250g! The friendly owner left a good impression on me, and I really enjoyed the experience, even with the water served in a pitcher. The large chicken cutlet set meal exceeded my expectations. The chicken was juicy and thick, made from thigh meat. It came with cabbage and potato salad. The miso soup had Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts, with a hint of spice that reminded me of miso ramen broth. The rice was served in a not-so-large bowl but was piled high. It was a meal worth applauding and I will definitely visit again. The makunouchi bento looked delicious, and I am also curious about the pork cutlet and tonkatsu. I feel like I made a great discovery with this restaurant.

This is a yakiniku and izakaya restaurant in Nishikawa. The restaurant is not on a main road, so it may be a bit hidden and not easy to find without checking on Tabelog. They offer a lunch special for just one coin. The parking lot has space for about 2 cars with a sign, but there are additional parking spaces without clear markings. I visited in the afternoon and parked in the spot with a sign. Inside, there is a counter and a tatami area with ducts for grilling meat. The weekly special menu is displayed on a whiteboard, and this time I tried the seafood bowl for 500 yen. I opted for the large size, which was a good choice as the regular portion may be small. The bowl also came with salad and miso soup, and water is served in a jug. They also offer iced coffee for 80 yen. The seafood bowl was decent for the price, and I would recommend it for a budget lunch. I would like to try their regular one-coin set meal next time.

I experienced a lunch at an izakaya with a rich one-coin menu. Lately, lunches have been on the pricier side, so I feel like I need to start cutting back. I couldn't find any wet towels or tissues, and I wasn't sure if they would bring them if I asked, but it's always appreciated when they're visible and readily available. It was before 12 o'clock, and the place was empty. The owner seemed humble, which was nice, but as someone who tends to be a bit neurotic, there were a few things that bothered me... (continued) There were three staff members for one customer, but it didn't feel overwhelming. There's parking for a few cars, which is convenient. They served water in a wild-looking glass. The pork bowl for 500 yen was topped with thinly sliced pork in a sweet sauce. It was a bit tough to eat on its own, but when mixed with the lettuce, onions, and mayo underneath, it tasted much better. The rice was a bit clumpy, but it was still easy to eat as part of the bowl. There was a whiteboard in the hallway of the building that said lunch starts at 11, but elsewhere it said 11:30, which was confusing. The restaurant had a counter with 10 seats and a raised area with around 31 seats. ☆☆☆ Next time on... ☆☆☆ I think the restaurant's name is "Nanakorobi Yaoki," which means falling seven times and getting up eight. Will this be a resilient and strong place that keeps getting back up no matter how many times it falls?

Welcome! Oh, long time no see! I was greeted by the lively voice of the owner and came for lunch after a long time! Here, you can always have a delicious lunch starting from just one coin. Staring at the whiteboard, feeling a bit of summer fatigue, I decided on the reliable seafood bowl for 500 yen ❤️ When in doubt, it's always between the seafood bowl and the makunouchi for 550 yen, every time (lol). The ingredients vary depending on the day, but the taste is always reliable. The makunouchi that my friend had also looked delicious. The whiteboard menu never disappoints! After the meal, be sure to try the 50 yen iced coffee (served in a beer mug) www. Another satisfying day. Thank you for the meal! ^ ^

~~~Revisit~~~The other day, I went back to Hachioki after a long time. As usual, there were a lot of men, including salarymen, hahaha. Normally, I would choose from the weekly specials, but on this day, I was in the mood for meat, so I went with a classic menu item, the beef kalbi grilled rice. The portion was as generous as ever, with plenty of meat. Of course, I finished it all, it was delicious. Afterwards, I had a hot coffee for only 580 yen, so cheap! Hachioki is really great! Occasionally, I use their services. They have a variety of classic menu items, most of which are priced at just one coin. They also have weekly specials that all look appetizing. It's exciting to come across a new item on the menu that you might not see again. The portion sizes are quite large, almost like a mountain, so it might be a good idea for women to order a smaller portion. The meals are tasty and filling, perfect for powering through the rest of the day. By the way, the iced coffee after the meal comes in a pitcher, it's a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit. I'm looking forward to trying their all-you-can-eat dinner, it's a great deal!

It was introduced on a TV broadcast and I finally had the chance to visit. I used the subway instead of JR on the day of the visit, so I walked quite a bit to combine exercise and enjoy delicious food. For lunch, I chose the seafood bowl. The food arrived in just a few minutes. The restaurant had a counter and a raised seating area with a duct for grilling meat. This time, I had the seafood bowl from the lunch menu. It contained salmon, egg, cured mackerel, salad, and miso soup. After finishing the meal, I left the restaurant.
