The deliciousness and portion size are as good as ever (lol). I haven't been able to come here recently, but they have finally returned to normal operation. Everything you eat here is delicious and the portions are large. The prices have gone up a bit, but I still think the Chun set meal in the photo for 1000 yen is cheap.

I visited around 1 pm. Thanks to other reviews, I found the parking lot easily. The tables inside were full, but I managed to find a seat as someone was leaving. I ordered the standard set meal for 1000 yen. The set meal included meatballs, shrimp fry, chicken Karaage, salad, side dishes, porridge (switched to white rice from the second bowl), jasmine tea. It was quite a lot and I was full. The taste was delicious. I would like to visit again with some friends at night. Thank you for the meal.

The whole family went out for a meal together after a long time. The destination was here! We were looking forward to the egg-wrapped spring rolls. Unfortunately, they were sold out today. So, my wife and I ordered set meals, while the kids ordered the mixed noodles and champon noodles. We also shared some boneless fried chicken. The prices are around $10 per dish, which is good value considering the generous portions. The fried chicken was also included in the set meal, so maybe we should have ordered something else, but the kids love it. Although it's a Chinese restaurant, they also serve medium fatty tuna sashimi, which we've tried before and were satisfied with the generous portion. The noodle dishes and rice bowls are also quite large, enough for 2-3 people to share. The fried rice, in particular, has a lot of ingredients. Thank you for the meal.

The parking lot is located behind the shop and the road is quite narrow, so it is recommended to scout the area beforehand. Most people end up parking at the ¥300/60-minute street parking in front of the shop. There are table seats in the front and tatami rooms in the back, resembling a bed for eels. The staff is accommodating when you express your preferences. The head chef fell ill and took a break, causing concern, but it's reassuring to see everything back to normal. However, the menu has become smaller. In the tatami room, there is a rotating table like in a Chinese restaurant, which is also nice. We ordered a variety of dishes for four people, including spicy chicken, braised pork, chive stir-fry, chicken noodles, fried rice, oyster sauce with oysters, and meat dumplings, which filled us up. The bill came to ¥9500, but the portions were generous and the ingredients were fresh. The dishes kept coming out one after another, providing a satisfying experience of "urban Chinese cuisine." The chive stir-fry was unexpectedly spicy, perhaps due to the oyster sauce. The taste is unique and can only be found here. Overall, the food, portion size, and price were all satisfying. Lunch portions are also large, and women may not be able to finish it all, so taking leftovers home is common. You can also order a half-size portion for lunch. Occasionally, there may be a menu item that is not as good. The tables can be a bit sticky, the building has a historical charm, and the friendly staff chat with locals, creating a different atmosphere from what you might expect from a Chinese restaurant based on the dinner menu prices. They efficiently pack up the leftovers, serve a complimentary egg soup, have a cheerful head chef, give jelly to kids, provide quick service, and offer satisfying portions and flavors. If you come expecting urban Chinese cuisine, this place might not be exactly what you had in mind. The prices are a bit high at night, but considering the value for money, it's worth it in my opinion. As part of a combination plan, I recommend getting cheesecake souvenirs from Swiss confectionery Lône, which is within a 5-minute walk of the Emperor's mausoleum, Bishamon-do, and Rakuto.

Suddenly closed... After hearing rumors of its revival, I finally visited again after a long time. Although I didn't go there often, the owner's wife seemed to remember us and warmly welcomed us back. The popular items here are the generous daily lunch specials and set meals, but we decided to order the fried rice and fried noodles that we used to enjoy. The ingredients were slightly different, but the taste remained as delicious as before... It was a pleasant surprise. The prices seemed to have gone up a bit, but considering they were originally quite affordable, it felt reasonable. The complimentary soup and jasmine tea after the meal were still being served. Although I had been away for a while, I now feel like visiting again. *The parking lot can be a bit tricky to find, so here are some directions... Go east from the front of the restaurant at the Gojo-Betsure intersection, then head south, turn west at the first corner, and it will be on the north side a little further down. (There used to be another parking lot, but it's no longer available)

I mistakenly ordered the fried chicken set meal thinking it was just fried chicken, but it actually came with sweet and sour meatballs, fried chicken, shrimp tempura, salad, two side dishes (potato salad and banbanji), rice, soup, and unexpectedly, fried white fish which was not on the menu. I'm not a fan of the apple in the potato salad. Everything else was delicious. If you don't specify, the rice comes out like porridge, which was a bit of a surprise. In the future, I'll need to remember to ask for regular rice. Overall, the cost performance and portion size were quite good.

It's a small Chinese restaurant on the street, not a fancy Chinese restaurant. The prices range from 1000 to 1200 yen per dish, which is quite reasonable. They offer a service lunch for 900 yen from Monday to Saturday, and a set meal for 1000 yen on Sundays, both of which provide a taste of the restaurant at a discounted price. The meatball sweet and sour dish is always the same, with several side dishes. The portions are generous and good value for money. A dish can be shared by 2-3 people due to the large portion size. Don't expect a fancy bill like a Chinese restaurant, but you'll always be surprised by the volume and variety of ingredients used. I recommend visiting about once a month. Both the set meal and service lunch come with just one rice bowl, so you might find yourself wanting more rice.

Located a 9-minute walk from JR Yamashina Station, this restaurant has a parking lot. It was a bit hard to find, as it's apparently tucked away behind the Domino's Pizza. The restaurant, known for its legendary large portions, had temporarily closed due to the head chef's illness but has since reopened. The interior is long and narrow, with tables at the front and tatami seating at the back. I ordered the popular "set meal" for 1000 yen, which included meatballs with sweet and sour onions, 2 shrimp tempura, chicken tempura, fried fish, egg and ham salad, rice, and soup. The portion size lived up to its reputation. The taste was decent, nothing extraordinary, but for 1000 yen including tax, it was a great deal. I would definitely visit again if the opportunity arises.

This time it's lunch at Chun's. It's my second visit since it reopened (I went at night before). I had heard rumors about it, but the portion size is quite generous. For 900 yen, it's definitely satisfying. However, it's a local favorite spot, so if you come expecting a high-end Chinese restaurant, it's not that. The service is like being greeted by a local guy, and there's no delay when serving the dishes. It's a friendly and approachable place, which I personally like. I don't expect high-end Chinese restaurant treatment for a 900 yen lunch, and the dishes all complement the rice well. But it's hard to see the finish line with such generous portions. It's a lunch that I would want to recommend to many acquaintances. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I was browsing through food blogs trying to decide what to have for lunch when I came across a photo of a delicious-looking lunch set. Intrigued, I decided to visit the restaurant. I arrived around 12pm on a Sunday, but it was full so I left and returned around 1pm. This time, I was able to get a seat in the back room as a solo diner. The lunch set I wanted was only available on weekdays, so I opted for the set meal (1,000 yen including tax) instead. While waiting for my food, I noticed that the prices on the menu were quite high for a casual Chinese restaurant, with dishes going up to 12,000 yen for abalone. I thought I had made a mistake, but when my meal arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. The taste was average, but the portion size was generous. Although there were no photos on the menu, I felt that other dishes would also be worth trying at this restaurant.

This is my first time visiting. I was told by someone from Yamashina that they were surprised I didn't know about it. Since today is Sunday, lunch starts from 1000 yen. A mountain-sized plate is brought out, with sweet and sour meatballs as the main dish. The potato salad with apples has a homemade feel to it. There are also fried chicken, fried white fish, and various other items. It seems like a Chinese restaurant? Looking at the menu overall, I thought it might be a bit pricey, but when I saw the size of the rice bowl, it seemed reasonable. The old man behind me ordered the Gomoku soba, and the size of the bowl was impressive. I thought I would try the Gomoku soba next time. Thank you for the meal.

The dishes seem expensive starting from 1000 yen each, but because they are very filling, the total price doesn't end up being too high. If you want to try a variety of dishes, it's best to go with four or more people. The taste is delicious, but it might be a bit too light and lacking in depth for my liking. The lunch menu seems to be quite a good deal.

Thank you for coming back. I'm so happy. Today, I had the daily special set meal for the first time in a while. It was delicious with the same gentle taste as always. I will come back soon. Champon is good too, but the set meal is definitely worth it.

The resurrection is delightful. Familiar flavors are the tastes that have shaped our bodies. Today I had fried rice. Stir-fried vegetables also blend well with the taste. There was a congratulatory orchid for the reopening of Tenchi-kyo (related to Emperor Tenji in Yamashina?). I had never heard of Tenchi-kyo before, but I celebrate with joy!

Set meal 1000 yen or more per person with a generous portion and delicious taste.

My daughter wanted to find a restaurant that focuses on volume, so we decided to come here even though it was a bit far. When I called, they told me to go south from the Gojo Wakaremichi intersection and turn at the first corner where there is a parking lot. Once inside, we quickly ordered lunch and the food was served promptly, and we finished in no time. An elderly man who was getting a lunch menu to go was told, "For the soup this time, we will provide you with this container as a service, but please bring your own container next time," which surprised me with their polite service. I want to come back with my family at night next time. I feel like I understand why customers who return home say thank you repeatedly. It was a meaningful time.

Today's set meal was shrimp fry, but I wish there were more Chinese-style side dishes. The noodle dishes here always come in huge portions. Next time, I'll go for the fried chicken.

The restaurant was temporarily closed, but reopened in mid-June 2020. The regular closing day has changed to only Thursdays. Of course, the food is incredibly delicious!

Today, the restaurant has reopened. The menu has been slightly changed, but it still remains a classic local Chinese restaurant. Not a chain, but a truly localized establishment that has made a sudden comeback. It had closed before the pandemic, so this news is quite surprising. The flavors are still authentic and I hope they continue to thrive as a local Chinese restaurant. I read in a newspaper article that if you have a favorite restaurant, you should visit it while it's still open. The pandemic has changed the way we live, but it's nice to see that our favorite flavors are still around. While avoiding crowds, I hope people will continue to support their favorite and familiar restaurants.

The food is always delicious and served quickly. I tried the dumplings for the first time. They were light and had a vegetable flavor.
