I went to a training session in Nakashibetsu and had lunch there. I haven't been to Nakashibetsu in a while, but I remember going to Kawatei about 25 years ago. The beef stew lunch was delicious and brought back nostalgic memories. Thank you!

I came to a family restaurant in Nakashibetsu town that looks like it has been around for a long time. The interior is not trendy or appealing to young people, but it is quite spacious. I was seated by the window and looked over the menu, which includes a variety of Japanese set meals, Western steaks, spaghetti, curry, and Chinese set meals. I was overwhelmed by the choices, but I decided to order the assorted fried seafood set meal with shrimp, scallops, oysters, and salmon for 1,500 yen. While waiting, soy sauce, sauce, a wet towel, cold water, and a bottle of water for refills were provided. The food arrived surprisingly quickly, in about 5 minutes, with large shrimp, 2 oysters, scallops, and salmon fried dishes. They were all generously sized and served with tartar sauce on the side. The fried dishes were delicious and satisfying. The meal also came with potato salad, cabbage with dressing, miso soup with seaweed and tofu, sautéed burdock roots, and pickles. They even brought out warm tea (hojicha?) at one point. Around 6:45 pm, they had a sign saying "Today's business has ended." The closing time may be early, so if you plan to visit at night, please check in advance.

During Golden Week, I came to this restaurant to relax and unwind from driving fatigue. The menu was on the pricier side, but I decided to go with the chicken sauté set meal. My friend across from me ordered two large helpings. I ended up getting an extra serving of rice, feeling a mix of regret and satisfaction.

I visited Kotei-san after a long time and tried the Beef Stew Lunch for 1,100 yen. The tender beef stew was incredibly delicious! Plus, it even came with iced coffee after the meal, making it a great deal for 1,100 yen! My husband had the Pork Saute Lunch, which also came with two shrimp fries and he was very satisfied.

"Kawatei" in Shibetsu, there were two of us. I preferred a different town last time, but my wife wanted to go back after a long time. So, I had to give up on ramen. If I haven't been there, it has to be either Yamagokaya or Sanpachi. I will never go to any other place. For lunch, my wife always gets to decide. Since I have not been to the restaurant, she picks from the ones I haven't tried before. But to be honest, there aren't many great options in this town. I remembered a trattoria that I tried before but was closed, so we went there. However, it was full, and we were turned away. The next customer didn't even come out after entering. I don't know what was going on. Eventually, we managed to get in at the opening time, but it was packed. It was a popular place, I guess. My wife initially said it was an izakaya for lunch, but it turned out to be a Western-style restaurant. When we arrived, it was just a family restaurant. When I mentioned we were two people, they showed us to a table. There were a few other customers as well. A young woman looked confused, so she went to ask the woman in charge. The woman in charge asked if we were okay with it taking a bit longer, and then seated us. That was the right way to do it. Although our expectations were not high, the food came in just 10 minutes. They were efficient. This way, there was no need to say "Hurry up." I wonder if the woman in charge was the owner's daughter. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to handle it so well. The ramen looked like Kushiro ramen. The noodles were normal thickness curly noodles with good flavor. The green onions were roughly chopped, the bamboo shoots were seasoned, and the chashu was ordinary but might not be homemade. The seaweed was cheap. The soup was sweet, which was forgivable. If it were salty, it wouldn't have been acceptable. It was light and old-fashioned. It was a ramen that relied on soup stock, but it was better than Kushiro ramen, so I could eat it. There are many similar ramen shops in Kushiro and Nemuro, so the cost performance was not great. As for the mapo tofu, it was very expensive for me, although my wife didn't seem to mind. My wife accidentally dropped the spoon for the mapo tofu on the floor. Although it was entirely her fault, it was right in front of the cash register, so she should have noticed it. But she didn't seem to care. I am small, and my wife is infinitely large, so the size of a person is hard to determine. Well, whenever you want to come back, I'll be here to welcome you!"

This is an old-established restaurant in Nakashibetsu that I have been going to since I was in elementary school. The mapo tofu is very delicious, so I often order the mapo tofu set meal. It's spicy, with a nice kick to it. I can't get enough of it, even though the portion is a bit too much for me. The photo is of a jumbo shrimp curry, but I haven't tasted it yet, so I can't give my opinion on it. The shrimp fry looks delicious.

Established in 2017, this long-standing restaurant celebrated its 50th anniversary. While it may not be as popular among young people, it is a favorite among older generations. In 2019, the first floor was renovated with partitions and new chairs. With a wide variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, it is a great option for groups who can't decide on a menu. The demi-glace sauce and meat sauce dishes come highly recommended! Plus, the set meals offer free rice refills, which is a bonus for those with big appetites!

I'm obsessed with trying to replicate the taste of the beef curry from this restaurant.

The outdated interior was renovated in 2019, and the menu was also updated. It might have decreased, but still hard to choose!

I visited on a weekday in August. Ate lunch with a group. We had the makunouchi bento. The taste was delicious. I think it's a place where you can enjoy casually.

I love ankake yakisoba.

I've been coming here since I was a child. My family used to come here often, and I remember always eating miso ramen.

A few years ago, I visited this place. Since then, I passed by the shop several times, but I couldn't tell if it was open until I got right in front of it. There were no banners or curtains. Also, the inside of the shop was dimly lit, making it hard to see if it was open. I parked my car and entered the shop. It was dimly lit from the outside, and the same inside. The staff only said "Welcome" and didn't say much else, so I sat at a table and looked at the menu. I remembered seeing this place's meat sauce for sale at a supermarket in Nakashibetsu, so I ordered the "spaghetti with cutlet". After about 10 minutes of waiting, the dish arrived. It had large chunks of onions in it. I poured plenty of meat sauce and took a bite... Hmm? It was just okay. The pasta was thin and slightly crispy, which I liked, but it was medium thickness. The hot plate wasn't very hot. The onions in the sauce were distracting. The cutlet was... a thin, 3mm thick cutlet. It only had a textural feel to it. Oh well, that's disappointing. Goodbye.

Arrived in Nakashibetsu Town on a weekend evening. This was my first visit and I was surprised by the delicious Mabo set meal I had, so I decided to continue exploring and try out other dishes while feeling uplifted with American symphony playing in the background. It was around 6:50 PM with about 5 groups of customers, totaling around 13 people, with many families present. Additionally, there were 3 groups (2 people waiting) listed on the board for today's banquet. In a town where family restaurant chains are not present, this place seems to play a similar role. My goal for today was to try the recommended "traditional and legendary" meat sauce. I have never seen a menu with the word "legendary" in the past year, and the fact that it was inspired by something in Kushiro and called a teppan spaghetti left me with no choice but to try it. The dish arrived in less than 10 minutes after ordering, and it was quite different from the typical meat sauce, with a lot of onions. It may appeal to those who like this style, but personally, I was a bit disappointed. The pasta lacked the chewiness I prefer, and overall, it wasn't to my taste. While it may be different from the typical meat sauce served in the Kushiro area, I'm not sure if it lives up to being called traditional and legendary. I have now tried two of the recommended dishes, but I am unsure if I will continue to try to conquer all of them. This revisit was like taking three steps forward and two steps back. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I had only a few bites of Kameda Salad Senbei until late at night, so I was thinking I wanted to eat something more satisfying. That's when I decided to visit this place in Nakashibetsu town. The location is just a short walk north from the intersection of a local road and a main street. I thought there was only parking space for about 6 cars in front of the store, but it seems there is also parking space behind the store. I had been putting off visiting this restaurant for a while because the exterior gave off a dark vibe, making it seem intimidating to new customers. However, after recently stepping into another long-established restaurant in Nakashibetsu, my mental barrier was lowered, so I decided to give this place a try. It was 6:50 PM, with 2 groups of 4 customers already seated and 3 groups of 5 customers arriving later. It seemed like there was a party going on upstairs. As I entered, the staff greeted me warmly. The staff consisted of elderly individuals, about 4-5 of them, plus a sturdy-looking middle-aged man who seemed to be the boss. The interior had 10 tables for 4 people each, a small raised seating area for about 4, and a spacious second floor for parties. Without much thought, I chose the Mapo Tofu set meal from the extensive menu. The meal arrived in less than 10 minutes, and it looked delicious. The Mapo Tofu had a unique flavor that wasn't too spicy, and it went really well with the rice. The spring rolls, which I usually don't like, had a thin and crispy skin with a perfectly matched filling. The egg soup and kimchi were also to my liking. The rice was chewy and delicious, and I ended up having two helpings. There are many business hotels and bars nearby, making this restaurant a convenient choice for dinner. The staff kept a close eye on the customers, ensuring timely refills of water and serving tea after the meal. I look forward to returning and trying the traditional and legendary dishes mentioned on the menu. Thank you for the meal.

I decided to stay in Nakashibetsu for the first time while driving around Hokkaido in my beloved car during the long weekend. As I was leaving my accommodation, I came across a restaurant right in front of me. After a moment of hesitation, I decided to go in. The interior was dimly lit and had an old-fashioned family restaurant feel to it. It was exactly like a traditional family restaurant. I ordered the Spaghetti with Meat Cutlet (Spa-katsu) even though I was planning to go to Kushiro the next day. In just a few minutes, the dish I ordered arrived. The portion was quite large. The taste was slightly sweet, reminiscent of old-fashioned family restaurant style. If you are looking for a refined meal, I wouldn't recommend it, but this is what I imagine when I think of the Western food I admired as a child. The menu offers a variety of Western and Chinese dishes, and I would like to visit again when staying in Nakashibetsu.

This is a restaurant located in the town of Nakashibetsu. On a rainy night in June, with the temperature dropping to single digits, I decided to dine here as it was close to my accommodation and I didn't want to go far. The interior of the restaurant is very spacious, with seating on sofas. The menu mainly consists of steaks and Western dishes, but there are also Chinese dishes available. With a wide variety of choices, I had a hard time deciding what to order, but I ended up choosing the mixed fry set meal. It didn't take long for the set meal to be served. The portion was quite generous - it included 2 shrimp fries, 2 oyster fries, 1 scallop fry, and 1 salmon fry. The salmon fry was surprisingly delicious with its fluffy texture, especially when paired with tartar sauce. The oyster fry was large and satisfying to eat. It was a delight to have oyster fry after a long time. The shrimp fry was not as big as I expected, but the meat was tender and easy to eat. The scallop fry was of decent size and slightly firm, but packed with flavor. The set meal also came with rice, miso soup, pickled vegetables, and salted squid guts, which added a Hokkaido touch to the fry set meal. Overall, the freshness of the ingredients may not have been top-notch, but I was satisfied with being able to taste a variety of fries all at once.

I decided to have lunch at this restaurant based on the reviews on Tabelog. The menu is extensive, with a variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes. It's clear that this place is popular among locals. My friend and I ordered the Hamburger Lunch Set for ¥920, and it was brought to us in about 15 minutes. However, the hamburger did not look very juicy, and as expected, it lacked juiciness when I tasted it. Strangely, the inside was pinkish in color... I wondered if it was undercooked. The vegetables that came with it also seemed a bit lifeless. Maybe it was because we arrived slightly after lunchtime... I seem to be the only one giving a negative review, so they probably serve tastier dishes on a regular basis. Lastly, the service was excellent. Thank you for the meal.

The entrance showcases a variety of menus, giving off a nostalgic Showa era vibe. Inside the restaurant, there are countless types of dishes available, including Western, Chinese, and Japanese cuisine. Let's order different genres from each other. I ordered the mapo tofu set, while my companion ordered the hamburger set. The dishes arrived with generous portions that made me think "Wow, this is a lot!" The mapo tofu had a spicy kick to it, and was incredibly delicious. The soup and spring roll (not mini-sized!) were also included. My companion's hamburger was huge, topped with a fried egg and sizzling hot. The standout feature of this restaurant is the exceptional service. They provided us with small plates for sharing, offered us more rice, and promptly refilled our water. The secret to the deliciousness here is the exceptional customer service that adds a special touch. Thank you for the meal! I will definitely come back again.
