One of the Zen Show Group's restaurants, Jolly Pasta. I have seen a few on my commute but have never visited before. Today, I finally went to the Akishima branch. When I arrived around 8:30, there were noticeably empty seats. We were seated at a table for two and given a touch panel to order. I thought the menu would be displayed on the touch panel, but I was wrong. I had to select dishes from a booklet menu and enter the corresponding numbers. I ordered the Bacon and Onion Peperoncino for 690 yen and a Salad Set (with a drink bar) for 390 yen. The Salad Set was served promptly. However, the pasta took a long time to be served! The lady next to me who arrived later received her pizza before my pasta arrived. Eventually, the Peperoncino arrived 20 minutes after the salad... Is this normal for Jolly Pasta? The wait was long, so I ended up drinking a lot of iced coffee from the drink bar. If the restaurant is not busy and the wait time is long, it makes me reconsider coming back next time.

I love tarako or mentaiko the most in the New Year spaghetti, which is made with expired canned food. I had a sudden craving for it and decided to go to a proper restaurant to satisfy it. I considered going to Saizeriya, but I didn't want to deal with noisy high school students, so I found a Jolly Pasta nearby and decided to try it for the first time. When I entered the restaurant at 1:20 PM, no staff came to seat me, so I had to press the call button to get their attention. Finally, I was seated at a table for two. The restaurant was quite busy with mostly female customers. I ordered the classic "mentaiko" spaghetti and waited for it to arrive. In the meantime, I went to the soup bar and got some egg soup, which was mostly broth with hardly any ingredients. After a 12-minute wait, my spaghetti arrived. It looked delicious with mentaiko, shredded nori, and shiso leaves as toppings. I can't eat spaghetti elegantly with a fork, so I asked for chopsticks before digging in. It was so delicious with the umami flavor of mentaiko, butter, dashi, seaweed, and shiso. The mentaiko was generously mixed with the noodles, making each bite flavorful. The noodles were perfectly cooked, easy to slurp, and had a nice al dente texture. I couldn't stop eating because it was so tasty. Despite the slow service and lack of ingredients in the soup, the spaghetti was above my expectations. Jolly Pasta impressed me with its variety of spaghetti dishes. I noticed that they didn't have Napolitan on the menu, but it didn't bother me as I'm not a fan of it. Overall, I enjoyed my meal at Jolly Pasta and would rate it 3.3 out of 5.

I work at a big company next door. It was lunchtime, and I had the Salmon and Scallop Butter Soy Pasta at Jolly Pasta Akishima store.

Around June 20th in the third year of Reiwa, my mom said she was interested in trying Jolly Pasta, so we decided to order delivery. We ordered a Margherita pizza and Bolognese pasta, didn't specify a delivery time, and it arrived early at 11 o'clock. The Margherita pizza was simple and delicious, and the Bolognese pasta was packed with beef and very tasty. Enjoyed the meal!

Let's Uber! In the era where takeout and delivery are recommended due to the pandemic. This area used to be a delivery desert, but finally Uber has arrived after Delivery Gourmet came last year. Today, I ordered a generous vegetable peperoncino from Jolly Pasta for delivery. The vegetables were packed separately, truly living up to the "plenty of vegetables" description. The peperoncino was delicious, but without a follow-up promise, the smell might be a bit off-putting for some. Ah, I wish I had some wine.

Let's Uber! In the current situation where takeout and delivery are recommended due to the coronavirus pandemic, this area, which was previously barren of delivery services, finally got Uber after Delivery Gourmet arrived last year. Today, I ordered delivery from Jolly Pasta. This shop was built after the dismantling of a pachinko parlor that used to be here. I had always been curious about it when passing by, but to be able to order from Uber! My favorite flavor is carbonara, but if they don't have that, I go for it. It used to be my favorite because it was the richest and most satisfying flavor. The dish comes in a container that doubles as a plate, and the sauce is served separately to mix in. The taste is, of course, restaurant quality. Sometimes, pasta is just so good!
