I revisited the Kinshiro Shokudo (Kinshiro Dining) today. I was nearby and decided to stop by as I had a good lunch experience last time. This place offers a variety of affordable set meals and is quite popular among locals and nearby office workers. I ordered the Service Set Meal A again, which changes almost daily so you won't get tired of it even if you visit every day. Today's set meal included assorted tempura (shrimp, squid, sweet potato), rolled omelette, side dish, pickles, rice, and miso soup. It seemed like the portion was slightly smaller than last time. The tempura was a bit soggy, and the rolled omelette was a bit bland. The side dish, pickles, rice were okay, and the miso soup was a bit salty but still good. The spacious restaurant was bustling with energetic staff, and the service was great. Overall, I was a bit disappointed this time, but I might visit again when I'm in the area.

On this day, due to a small accident, we ended up eating out. We decided to visit Kinshiro Shokudo, a restaurant we had tried to go to a couple of times before but couldn't due to the pandemic. It's only about a 5-minute drive from home. Just as mentioned in reviews, it was a cozy restaurant with a homely atmosphere. The miso soup and rice were delicious (*^^*). Both in appearance and taste, it was truly "home-cooked meal". It may not be fancy dining, but it was a good restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I visited this place for dinner. I've known about it for a long time but never really passed by, so I kept missing out on it. It's only about a 3-minute drive from my house (if you don't hit any red lights!). The inside of the restaurant is quite spacious. There are so many menu options that it's hard to decide. My husband ended up ordering grilled fish, which we don't usually have at home. I found some skewers on the menu and ordered those with salt seasoning. They were delicious! For dessert, we also ordered curry udon, which surprisingly had wakame seaweed in it. I was surprised to see that, but it tasted great and I enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal!

I went for lunch on a regular day. There is a coin parking nearby. Inside the restaurant, there are table seats as well as large communal table seats. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from individual dishes to set meals. There are also daily specials like A and B sets, as well as many fish sets. This time, I ordered the A set. While waiting and watching TV, my meal arrived. It included nikujaga (meat and potato stew), shirasu (small fish), miso soup, tonkatsu (pork cutlet) on a plate, rice, and pickles, all for 880 yen. Everything is homemade and delicious, just like a traditional set meal restaurant. I was very satisfied.

I was nearby for work. The area around the restaurant doesn't have parking, so it feels like only locals or people who know about it come here. There are various menus posted on the walls, which can be overwhelming when ordering. I tried the daily special, which was katsudon. It was quite a generous portion for the price. I didn't realize at first, but you can get free extra rice (which I ended up getting). Even with the extra rice, it wasn't quite enough (haha). The taste was nothing extraordinary, but it was safe and satisfying to eat.

I chose the daily special of mackerel today. I really wanted to eat grilled fish. The daily special comes with a fried egg, macaroni salad, and fried food. Just the rice, miso soup, and mackerel are enough, but for those who want to eat a lot, the daily special is recommended.

A homey set meal restaurant. I think the balance between cost and taste is good. The set meals come with a variety of side dishes and small dishes, so I think you'll be satisfied.

Casually running around the area near Kichijoji, I stumbled upon "Kinshiro Shokudo" restaurant. Since there didn't seem to be a parking lot, I parked at a nearby coin parking lot and decided to visit. The restaurant was in a house-like building, with the first floor serving as the dining area. As I timidly opened the door, a cheerful lady greeted me with a warm "Welcome!" Surprisingly, the interior was bright, with several local gentlemen already enjoying their lunch. There were no menus on the tables, and everyone was deciding their orders by looking at the menu written on the wall. The whiteboard displayed several options for the "Today's Special Set Meal," so I chose the "Tonkatsu Set Meal (from Okinawa) with Nikujaga" for ¥820. They also had other service menus like fish set meals and rice bowl dishes. While waiting and watching the TV broadcast, more customers started to arrive. Most of them were local gentlemen or labor workers from nearby, with a 100% uncle customer rate. The restaurant had 7 tables and around 14 seats around a large table, accommodating about 40 people. From the 4 people working in the kitchen, it was evident that the restaurant was quite busy. After about 10 minutes, the food was served. It included a plate with tonkatsu, a bowl of nikujaga, rice, miso soup, and pickles. I started with the miso soup with tofu, seaweed, and fried tofu, which was hot and had a slightly salty white miso flavor. The rice portion was larger than usual and had a decent taste and texture. The main dish, tonkatsu, was thinly sliced with a crispy batter that tended to separate from the meat. It was served with a ketchup-based sauce and was decent overall. The nikujaga could have had a bit more meat, but it served its purpose as a side dish. Overall, the cost-performance ratio, atmosphere, and taste were decent, with good customer service. In this area, there aren't many restaurants like this, so I think this place is quite valuable. Rating: 3.5 stars (68/100)
