Today is Wednesday, September 21, 2022. I decided to have lunch at a Chinese restaurant that I haven't tried before, so I searched on Tabelog and found "Chinese Cuisine Yamahoukaku." I saw their sign while on the move and decided to give it a try without any prior research. I arrived a little after 12:00 PM to find only one truck parked in the three-space parking lot, making me think it might not be a good choice. I parked my bike and tried to take a picture of the exterior, but a two-ton truck backed in, so I could only get a close-up shot. Inside, the restaurant was almost full, with a few tables not yet cleaned from previous customers leaving. I was surprised by the busyness. I ordered the daily lunch special, which was chicken cutlet with a choice of soba, udon, or miso soup (tax included 770 yen). More customers kept coming in, and my order arrived in about 10 minutes. The taste was simple and suited my palate. I felt like more reviews would be beneficial. I hope to visit Chinese Cuisine Yamahoukaku again next time. The end.

It's lunch time and I visited this place for lunch. I heard they offer student discounts here. Let's take a look at the menu. I ordered the lunch set menu. The portion was generous and delicious. My companion also ordered the same menu. We enjoyed our meal. Thank you!

Today, I came here. While driving, I caught a glimpse of a restaurant with a sign that said "food" and a blue tent roof, which seemed to have a nice atmosphere. It was 12:20, and there were 4 customers already seated and 6 more came in later. The interior of the restaurant, filled with a sense of populism, had a TV showing, with a kitchen in the back and no counter seats, only 8 four-person table seats. It seemed like a family-run place with 3 people of different ages managing it. The menu was displayed on the right wall, featuring various rice bowl dishes, set meals, udon, and soba. There were manga books on the shelf, probably because there was a school nearby, and they even had a student discount set meal. I ordered the "beef bowl" and it arrived after a while. It came with a bowl, miso soup, and pickles. The beef, with a good balance of lean and fatty meat, was well-cooked with onions and green onions in a savory sauce, making the rice taste delicious. The sprinkled seaweed on top was also good. The miso soup had a rich broth with finely chopped silk tofu, fried tofu, and green onions inside. Together with two types of pickles, I finished the meal. Both the bowl and miso soup were made with care and attention to detail. It was a sudden visit, but this place was a hit. The service was good. Overall, a satisfying experience. Additional information: Prices exclude tax, wheelchair accessible, Western-style toilet in the back, and there are parking spaces in front of the restaurant and nearby.

This is a traditional set meal restaurant. There are many students living nearby, so there is a student discount which is a great deal. The pork bowl has a rich flavor and the rice is delicious, making it very tasty.

It's a student town, so there's an old dining hall that has been around for a long time. When you see so many menus posted on the walls, it can be hard to decide what to order. When in doubt, go for the daily lunch special. Today they had pork cutlet rice bowl and udon or soba, or miso soup. Since I was really hungry, I chose soba. Hmm, the soba was a bit disappointing. The broth was delicious but the soba was too soft. Oh well, let's move on to the main dish, the pork cutlet rice bowl. I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually really delicious. The thinly sliced onions soaked in broth, mixed with the half-cooked egg, tasted amazing. When you take a bite of the pork cutlet, its well-seasoned flavor enhances the overall experience. The taste is rich. However, the broth on the rice is light, which perfectly complements the rich flavor of the pork cutlet. There's something about the difference in taste between the rice and the pork cutlet that is just perfect. The addition of chopped seaweed to the pork cutlet rice bowl was a rare and delightful touch. If you ever crave a pork cutlet rice bowl in Kyoto Tanabe, I would definitely come back here. They have a variety of other menu items to try as well. And it seems they also offer student discounts.
