Sichuan 2023.09.11 Today, I came with the feeling of "Let's go for it" while being careful enough, at least to support the restaurants. I missed eating mapo tofu today (lol), so I went to my favorite authentic Sichuan Chinese restaurant in Shimizu-cho, "Chinese Cuisine Sichuan." The location is right in front of Shimizu Station. The exterior is a large three-story building with white walls resembling a complex building or a condominium. Inside, there are 3 two-person table seats, 2 four-person table seats, and a private room and second-floor seating area. I ordered the Crab Fried Rice Set for 950 yen, with an option for extra-large for 200 yen (tax included), and Gyoza for 530 yen (tax included). The Crab Fried Rice is huge and delicious, with plenty of crab and crunchy leeks, moist but fluffy, packed with the rich flavor of crab. The texture of the bamboo shoots is also good, but the portion is large. The Gyoza was served piping hot, with juicy meat and a crispy and chewy skin, seasoned well and delicious on its own. The restaurant was busy as always, with the staff running around. Next time, I will come to try the Shrimp Fried Rice. Thank you for the meal.

Sichuan 2023.05.29 Today, I can at least support restaurants by being very careful. Let's all do our best together! I missed out on eating Mapo Tofu today, so I went to my favorite authentic Sichuan Chinese restaurant in Shimizu Town, "Chinese Cuisine Sichuan." The location is right in front of Shimizu Station. The exterior looks like a large white three-story building, while the interior has 2-person tables, 4-person tables, private rooms, and a second-floor seating area. Since I've been craving Mapo Tofu all day, I ordered the Mapo Don (mild spiciness) for 950 yen (tax included). As always, the tofu is big, the ground meat is coarse, and there is plenty of green onions. The sauce is thick with a rich flavor of Sichuan pepper, very delicious! The first bite burned my mouth, and it remained hot until the end, causing me to sweat profusely. When I went to pay, the staff asked if it was too spicy for me, but it's just that I tend to sweat when I eat spicy food. The restaurant was still busy, with the staff running around. Next time, I'll come to try the Crab Fried Rice. Thank you for the meal. Chinese Cuisine Sichuan is open from 11:30 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 21:00, closed on Sundays and holidays.

I'm having lunch in Shimizu-cho on my way to Sapporo. There are quite a few dining options in Shimizu-cho, and many highly rated restaurants. In the midst of that, I was in the mood for Chinese food, so I visited Szechuan, a Chinese restaurant. I arrived at 11:30 and entered as soon as they opened. It's interesting that you have to take off your shoes before going upstairs. It seems like there are separate dining areas on the first and second floors. The first floor had table seating. Looking at the menu, they offer authentic Chinese dishes. I wanted to try a rice dish, so I ordered the Chinese Chirashi Bowl for 950 yen. This was actually my first time trying Chinese Chirashi. It looked delicious and had a generous portion. Let's dig in. The taste is unique and delicious! The sweet and savory sauce goes well with it. The seasoning is just right. The ingredients include Chinese cabbage, carrots, squid, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, komatsuna, and eggs. There's no meat in it. The rice was also delicious. A place with delicious rice usually serves delicious dishes as well. I'm full now. I think the other dishes at this restaurant would be tasty too. The place was busy with customers coming in one after another. I'll definitely come back. Thank you for the meal!

I visited for lunch. I was on a business trip to Niikappu Town. I found this place on Tabelog and decided to come. It was lunchtime, so there was a line. Maybe it's a popular place? This time, I ordered "Shrimp Fried Rice" and "6 pieces of Gyoza". The Gyoza arrived first. Let's eat them while they're hot. They're delicious when freshly cooked. When I was halfway through, the fried rice arrived! It's filled with lots of shrimp. The fried rice is really delicious. I would like to come back to eat here again. Thank you for the meal٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Before attacking the newly opened gelato shop, I decided to have lunch somewhere with my companion, so we opted for Chinese cuisine at Szechuan Restaurant. We changed into slippers at the entrance and had our meal in the living room. I ordered the Mapo Tofu for 950 yen, Crab Fried Rice for 890 yen plus a large portion for an additional 150 yen, and Shrimp Ankake Yakisoba for 890 yen plus 150 yen for a large portion. The Mapo Tofu was spicy, but we added extra Sichuan pepper because it was not spicy enough for us. The tofu had a lot of sauce, and we could see the fermented black beans in it. The owner chef of the restaurant, who trained at Chen Kenmin's Szechuan Restaurant, seemed to cater to the taste of the Tokachi locals. The Crab Fried Rice, which was for my companion, was moist and had shiitake mushrooms in it, giving it a nice flavor. The key to the dish was the long green onions. The Shrimp Ankake Yakisoba had small shrimp and other seafood, but we were explained that it would have large shrimp, so we ordered it. When it arrived, we were surprised by the amount of food and had a moment of eye contact with my companion, wondering who would finish it all. The noodles were slightly crispy in some parts, and the sauce was thick. The dish had large shrimp and plenty of wood ear mushrooms, which I love. The soup that came with the rice dishes had green onions and seaweed. Overall, the dishes had a young and bold flavor, which would go well with alcohol for the younger crowd. I had only eaten a scone for breakfast, so ordering two large portions of food had its consequences for our later activities. If you're in the mood for hearty Chinese food on a hot day, I recommend this place. Thank you for the meal.

The area around the restaurant was crowded with parked cars, so I headed to what seemed like a shared parking lot across the street. The entrance looked like the entrance to a dormitory. I took off my shoes and put them in the shoe box, then changed into slippers before entering. However, I forgot to put on the slippers and felt a little embarrassed when I realized it later. Even though it was past 1 o'clock, the place was still busy. The seats on the second floor seemed popular. I had planned to go with the daily special, but when I asked the staff, they said it was mapo tofu, so I quickly changed my order to meat yakisoba for 890 yen. The staff told me it was yakisoba with soy sauce-based sauce. As expected from a Chinese restaurant, the dish was served promptly. It came on a deep plate, looking quite voluminous. There was a thick layer of oil around the edge of the plate. I could tell it was going to be very hot. The ingredients included pork, bamboo shoots, shimeji mushrooms, cabbage, and some green vegetables that I couldn't identify. The noodles were cooked just right. The taste was good! It was delicious, and I could see why it was popular. The portion size also felt generous. However, personally, I felt that there was too much oil throughout the dish. When I visited before, I had various negative experiences, but this time, I had a good impression, including of the staff. Next time, I might go for the daily special, fried rice, a set with ramen, or a Chinese chirashi.

On November 22, 2021, what I can do now is to support food and beverage establishments while being careful. I come with the feeling of "Let's go all out" ✨ Today, it's drizzling and cold, so I decided to visit my favorite authentic Sichuan Chinese restaurant in Shimizu-cho for some piping hot Chinese cuisine. I arrived at "Chinese Cuisine Sichuan"✨ located right in front of Shimizu Station. The exterior is a large three-story building with white walls resembling a complex building or condominium. Inside, there are three 2-person table seats, two 4-person table seats, and separate private rooms and second-floor seating. It was 11:30. I asked about today's daily special and ordered the following: ★Sweet and Sour Pork for 1,000 yen (tax included), ★Shumai for 390 yen (tax included), and ★Small Rice for 150 yen (tax included). In about 11 minutes, the dishes arrived. The ingredients included pork belly, bamboo shoots, carrots, green peppers, shiitake mushrooms, and onions. The pork belly was plentiful and piping hot, always a risk of burning myself (*´艸｀) The vinegar level was to my liking, with fatty pork and crunchy vegetables, making it very delicious ✨✨ The small rice portion was larger than expected. The Shumai was also piping hot with a hint of ginger, handmade with a smooth skin, and a Shumai that goes well with white rice (commercial-like laughter). It was delicious ✨ Next time, I'll come back for the daily special. Thank you for the meal m(__)m Chinese Cuisine Sichuan ☆ Business hours: 11:30-14:00, 18:00-21:00 ☆ Closed on Sundays and holidays. ####### February 2, 2023 Added photo ★Mapo Donburi (mild spiciness) for 950 yen (tax included).

On June 21, 2021, I went to a Chinese restaurant called "Szechuan" near Shimizu Station. The exterior of the restaurant is a large three-story building with a white wall. Inside, there are small tables for 2 people, tables for 4 people, and private rooms on the second floor. I ordered the daily special lunch which included shrimp stir-fried with aged wine, croquette, simmered butterbur, salad, potato salad, rice, and soup. The shrimp dish was delicious with a nice texture and flavor from the aged wine and oyster sauce. The croquette had a crispy skin and flavorful filling. I enjoyed the meal and will come back to try their sweet and sour pork next time. The restaurant's operating hours are 11:30-14:00 and 18:00-21:00, closed on Sundays and holidays.

I visited Szechuan Chinese Cuisine for the first time! It used to be located in the east of Obihiro city center a long time ago, but it seems like it has moved to Shimizu. I didn't know about the relocation for many years. It's now in front of JR Tokachi Shimizu Station. Since the soba restaurant I wanted to go to was closed early, I switched to Chinese food. You have to take off your shoes and sit at a table. I looked at the menu and decided to go for a rice dish. I ordered the Chinese Chirashi Don with soup for 890 yen including tax. The food was ready very quickly, in less than 5 minutes. The portion was quite large. It tasted great! The familiar soy sauce base with a sweet and salty flavor stood out. It was a bit salty for my taste, but the fluffy egg was delicious. It had plenty of seafood like shrimp and squid. The dish was a bit soupy, but overall it was delicious and filling. I enjoyed the Chinese Chirashi Don. Coffee was served after the meal, which was a nice touch. Next time, I'll try the ramen. Thank you for the meal.

How about this? The airplane window seat is definitely the best choice. You can see such beautiful scenery like this. It looks like a stunning patchwork. The weather is nice too, making it even more picturesque. We are about to land soon. We have arrived at Tokachi Obihiro Airport. The season here is incredibly pleasant. Now, it's time for lunch. Let's try going into "Chinese Cuisine Sichuan". There are various options available. Of course, there's Gordo for shochu. It's a local favorite, right? There are also side dishes available, but... I was surprised by the prices. The "Gyudama Steak Don" is priced at 1,180 yen, even with a discount. Hmm... not quite worth it. I think the daily special set or ramen-fried rice set for 700 yen would be a safer choice. Yes, that's just my personal opinion. Thank you for the meal.

I used it for a banquet - Chicken Karaage: Is it a little too dark? If it's because of the seasoning, that's fine, but when I ate it, it was crunchy! (laughs) The juiciness also seems a bit weak. - Sweet and Sour Pork: I don't mind the strong sour taste, but the meat was not great. - Chinese Chirashi Sushi: Are you doing this because you know I grew up in Tokachi? It was a slightly soupy Chinese chirashi, but it was nostalgic and delicious! - Fried Rice: Rice? More rice after rice? Are you picking a fight with me while I'm on a diet (taking a slight break!)? Alright, I'll buy it! I'll eat it!! And it's delicious! The generous amount of green onions adds a crispy texture, making it a very tasty fried rice. - Ankake Yakisoba: More carbs? My satiety center is already overwhelmed, but it's so good!! I didn't see any dim sum like dumplings or shumai, but it was still a fun banquet! (It's also good material for jokes! laughs) Thank you for organizing, it was a great meal!

Tokachi Shimizu - Gyu Tamago Steak Donburi ¥1480

Today I went to Sichuan in Tokachi Shimizu Town (^ ^) / Inside the restaurant, you take off your shoes at the entrance. Looking at the menu, they have authentic Chinese dishes as well as tenshin. I told the staff that I'm not good with spicy food, and they recommended that I can change the ramen in the set, so I ordered the Ramen-Chahan set for 700 yen and changed it to Mapo Men for an additional 150 yen ✨ The ramen and chahan in the set had a surprising amount of volume. The Mapo Men had plenty of minced meat and green onions, with a rich flavor and just the right amount of spiciness. The noodles were cooked perfectly ✨ It was so delicious that I felt like eating rice (lol) The soup was also delicious with a chicken broth base ✨ The chahan had plenty of ingredients like chashu, green onions, naruto, ham, and egg, with a satisfying texture from the green onions ✨ All of this for 850 yen ✨ Great value for money. Thank you for the meal m(__)m

This is a popular Chinese restaurant located on the other side of Tokachi Shimizu Station. According to the reviewer's report, the two weekday lunch specials are popular. When you enter, you are asked to change your shoes to slippers and are guided to the back. The restaurant has authentic Chinese tables and chairs. The reviewer decided on the "Ramen and Fried Rice Set for 700 yen" from the start. The ramen had a nice oil film and was simple. There was plenty of chopped green onions and thick slices of char siu, which was satisfying. The set menu was more like a regular single item in terms of portion size. The char siu had a thick Chinese-style fried rice. There were also colorful narutomaki and lots of ingredients. They even included coffee after the meal. The cost performance is excellent. If you don't expect high quality, it's totally worth it.

I visited Shimizu town for work and was debating whether to have lunch on my way back to Obihiro. I checked my own restaurant on Tabelog and decided to order the Ramen set for 700 yen, with the Ramen changed to Mapo Men for an additional 150 yen, making it 850 yen in total. The fried rice was a typical stir-fry, but the taste was not bad. The Ramen was soy sauce flavored, but the taste became richer as I ate. The menu seemed to be displayed in Chinese characters converted from kanji, so it seems they have a strong commitment to authenticity. The cost performance was good, and I left feeling satisfied as I headed to my afternoon work. Thank you for the meal!

I had some business in Niikappu-cho on October 1, 2016, and decided to look for a restaurant where I could try the famous Tokachi dish called Chinese Chirashi. I found a restaurant near Shimizu Station and decided to give it a try. It was a cozy house where you had to take off your shoes before entering. The menu had a variety of traditional Chinese dishes, making it hard to choose. I ordered the Crab Fried Rice for 790 yen, while my companion ordered the Mapo Tofu Don for the same price. Surprisingly, the Mapo Tofu Don arrived within 5 minutes, and it was huge with rice barely visible. The taste was okay, not too spicy or flavorful. The Crab Fried Rice took a bit longer to arrive, and it was also quite large. The flavor was not too strong, and it had a good amount of snow crab meat. However, halfway through, I started to feel a bit tired of the dish as it was a bit oily and the portion was quite big. I struggled to finish it, but my companion managed to finish the Crab Fried Rice. Later, I found out that their ramen is actually delicious. If I have the chance, I will try their ramen next time.

Arrived at Tokachi Shimizu. It was lunchtime and I was getting hungry, so I wandered around the station area and found a Chinese restaurant. I decided to go in right away! When it comes to Chinese food, I always feel like eating mapo tofu, but when I looked at the menu, I found something called "Tokachi Shimizu specialty" and decided to try it. - Tokachi Shimizu Beef Steak Don Set @ 1200 yen The beef steak don with soft eggs and diced steak on top looks delicious! And it's quite a generous portion. When I tried it, the seasoning was quite sweet. With both the egg and beef being sweet, it started to feel heavy towards the end...haha. The soy sauce ramen had a slight chicken broth smell, but it was simple and easy to eat. I wonder if this steak don is being showcased at some competition or something? It seemed like they were promoting it throughout Shimizu... Next time, I want to try the mapo tofu! Thank you for the meal!
