Town Chinese restaurants are trending, and every time I see them in the media, my desire to go there increases. I made my first visit to Junkarou, which has been selected as one of the top 100 Chinese restaurants. I made a reservation for my visit! The appearance and atmosphere are just like a typical town Chinese restaurant, with a traditional feel and a round table for one group. The menu is in Japanese and Chinese. It's worth noting that once you order a menu item, you cannot order it again (you can, but you will be advised not to, so it's better to order the necessary amount for your group at the beginning). There was no explanation provided, but maybe it's an unspoken agreement due to being busy? We ordered the following dishes: pan-fried dumplings, stir-fried pork and bell peppers, steamed chicken with Sichuan sesame chili sauce, mapo tofu Sichuan style with five ingredients fried rice, shark fin simmered in broth (2 pieces), crab omelette spring rolls, fried chicken, jellyfish and cucumber, shrimp chili, and water spinach. We also ordered some other dishes, but I forgot their names haha. When you order this much, it wouldn't be surprising if they gave you a strange look when you try to order a second time haha. However, all the dishes were delicious and the portions were about 2.5 servings per person, so it's cost-effective. Dishes with Sichuan style in their name are quite spicy and have a strong ethnic flavor, so be careful if you're not a fan of spicy food! On the other hand, if you like it, I recommend it! The spiciness goes well with alcohol, and even without alcohol, the rice goes well with the rich flavor. Adding more dumplings got me scolded haha, but the dumplings are so delicious with the meat juice! It's just right to order about 2 servings per person at the beginning!! The spring rolls were probably cut for convenience, but when you cut spring rolls, the texture becomes unpleasant.. That was disappointing, but the filling inside was delicious, so it was forgivable haha. There is no bias, but all the staff were Chinese! There may be cultural differences, but the informal polite language and lack of response may make you slightly anxious when ordering, but there were no issues at all! Thank you for the meal!

I don't know any Chinese restaurants better than this one. Their dumplings are famous, but the other dishes are also delicious. I've never had to wait in line as long as I avoid peak hours. The service is efficient, following the Chinese style. It's reasonably priced and worth it. Takeout is also available.

"I visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from a colleague who said, 'The gyoza here is the best.' I ordered two servings of gyoza, spicy Szechuan mapo tofu, and five-flavor fried rice. The gyoza, made without garlic, lacked a bit of punch but the carefully crafted skin and flavorful meat filling made them delicious. The fried rice was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Szechuan mapo tofu was advertised as extremely spicy, but it had a manageable level of heat typical of Szechuan cuisine and was delicious. Overall, the restaurant had a great taste of local Chinese cuisine. I would love to visit again to try their noodles and other top 10 ranked dishes."

At 11:30, I arrived and the restaurant was already full. I was seated on the second floor. More and more people kept coming in. It was a popular Chinese restaurant. I ordered a few recommended dishes and waited for the food. It was my first time here and I was excited to see what it would be like. The food was definitely delicious, just as I had expected.

This is a popular Chinese restaurant near Tamatsukuri Station. The food comes out very quickly after ordering. I felt the taste was just average, maybe because I had high expectations. I prefer dumplings to be more crispy, but for those who like them soft and juicy, it would be good. We were seated on the second floor, but there were people smoking near the window by the door, so every time the door opened, the smell of cigarettes came in and it was unpleasant.

I stopped by because I had some errands nearby. I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered stir-fried water spinach and a draft beer. The seasoning seemed to be from the Shanghai region, light yet flavorful, and very delicious. The staff are all Chinese but they communicate well in Japanese. The restaurant is quite popular during lunch and dinner times, especially in Tamatsukuri. There is also a second Jyunkaro restaurant at the intersection of Nakanoshima 2-chome.

Located near Tamatsukuri Station in Osaka, this Chinese restaurant is a must-visit for fans of Chinese cuisine. I was thrilled when invited to this place as I love Chinese food so much! Visited with three friends and managed to get in without waiting around 7:30 pm. The restaurant has seating on both the first and second floors. The advice to try the dumplings was spot on - they were incredibly delicious. I can't quite explain what sets them apart, but they were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, so tasty that we ended up fighting over them! We also enjoyed dishes like water spinach, shrimp mayo, steamed shrimp dumplings, mapo tofu fried rice, and a dish similar to ankake yakisoba (I forgot the name, sorry). Everything was incredibly delicious, but the mapo tofu fried rice was outstanding - it was so delicious that it blew me away. Definitely try it! We enjoyed every dish, thank you for the delicious meal!

Yukari Kotozume (Cure Macaron) Birthday Celebration: The collaboration between my sister and the Puni Bird tribe was amazing, and the Puni Bird Tribe Fried Chicken Week started as planned. It's been 4 years. Can't forget the dumplings. Trying fried chicken for the first time. Colorful with the Five-Ingredient Fried Rice. Delicious smile~! Stir-fried rice with assorted vegetables and fried dumplings (6 pieces) x 2, Fried chicken from young chicken.

On a regular night, the restaurant was almost full and bustling. The interior was decorated with many signs. As expected of a local Chinese restaurant, the food was cheap and delicious. The staff were all Chinese and the service was basic, but the taste made up for it. Great value for money.

Impression: I was surprised to see a long line at this popular restaurant that I didn't know about. The chicken and cashew nut stir-fry was delicious, one of my favorite flavors ❤️ The dumplings were light and tasty, and I wanted to try so many other dishes but had to give up because there were only two of us. Next time, I want to try the seafood fried rice with sauce and mapo tofu. Food list: Dumplings, Chicken and Cashew Nut Stir-Fry, Stir-Fried Hollow Heart Vegetable, Shrimp Mayonnaise, Yakisoba.

Anyway, the dumplings are delicious! They serve it starting from 5 portions, as shown in the picture. This place is very popular, so it's best to make a reservation before going. We reserved and were able to enter smoothly on the day we went. There were a lot of people waiting outside though... There is also a second floor where you can enjoy the best Chinese food at a leisurely pace! The combination of beer and dumplings is dangerously good! The lunch menu looks promising too, and it's not too far from the station, so I highly recommend it. Tamatsukuri has many famous restaurants, so it's highly recommended to enjoy the dumplings here and then move on to the next place! Thank you for the meal!!

I had always been curious about this shop whenever I passed by. The delicious smell lured me in, and I finally gathered the courage to go inside. There were a few women dining alone, and the atmosphere was surprisingly cozy. The food was prepared by what seemed to be a Chinese chef, and it was unexpectedly delicious! If you enjoy local Chinese cuisine, you are likely to enjoy this place. I would like to visit this shop for dinner sometime.

Junkaro was selected as one of the top 100 Chinese restaurants in 2021 (WEST)!! Unfortunately, they were not selected in the next round, but they have been operating in this location for quite some time, offering a taste that truly represents Japanese Chinese cuisine. Located in Osaka, it is conveniently accessible from both Morinomiya Station and Tamatsukuri Station on the JR line. When I visited on a Friday afternoon, the restaurant was moderately busy. I was seated right away as there were plenty of available seats. The service was very fast after ordering. I ordered the lunch set "Ramen" (600 yen including tax), which came with ramen, zasai pickles, and cold tofu. The ramen alone was 550 yen. The ramen had a soy sauce-based flavor, reminiscent of classic Japanese Chinese noodles. It seemed quite affordable, but the taste was not to my liking personally. They also had Taiwanese ramen on the menu, which might have been a better choice for me. The soup and thin noodles complemented each other well, but the overall deliciousness was questionable. The chashu pork, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and green onions were nicely arranged, but lacked a strong flavor punch. Adjusting with pepper or other condiments on the table might be necessary. The refreshing cold tofu was surprisingly good, and the zasai pickles had a light spicy kick. While individually they were nothing special, the combination worked well. Overall, the restaurant managed to redeem itself in terms of taste, but it was still lacking in some aspects, considering the cost. The service was efficient and the atmosphere was decent. I would rate it 3.3 overall, which is above average but not outstanding. The restaurant may not have lived up to its former title as one of the top 100 Chinese restaurants, but it remains a beloved spot for those who appreciate traditional Japanese Chinese cuisine. Junkaro in Osaka is a simple and traditional Japanese Chinese restaurant, fitting into the category of local Chinese eateries. While it may not have standout qualities that warrant a top 100 ranking, it has maintained a consistent taste over the years and is cherished by locals. If you have the chance, consider visiting and experiencing this taste of Japanese Chinese cuisine. [Tabelog rating 3.55 (at the time of visit)]

This is my first visit to Junkaro in 2 years. Everything you order here is delicious, it's a wonderful restaurant. Due to the rain, the restaurant was about 80% full. I had a reservation for 8:30 pm, but I arrived 15 minutes early. I was seated on the second floor. I started with a beer and some gyoza, which were incredibly tasty. I like crispy gyoza, but the soft and juicy gyoza here is exceptional. I ordered more. The tomato and egg stir-fry, where the sweetness of the tomato stands out, is also amazing. I definitely want to come back to this yummy restaurant.

Junkarou. A Chinese restaurant where Chinese is heard everywhere in the Jade District. It was my first visit, but everything I ate was delicious and I ended up becoming a regular. Among them, I think the dumplings here are quite delicious. They may not be very spicy, but they are full of the sweetness and juiciness of the meat. There are two types of mapo tofu, both on the spicier side, especially the Sichuan-style one, so be careful. There was a ranking of popular menu items posted in the restaurant, but I noticed it too late. I already know what I will eat on my next visit.

[Spot Name] Authentic Chinese Cuisine Jun Karou ★4.0 [Date of Visit] March 2023 [Payment Method] Cash Only [Ordered Menu] - Stir-fried Water Spinach 990 yen (incl. tax) - Sichuan Fried Noodles 880 yen (incl. tax) - Pan-fried Dumplings 528 yen (incl. tax) I randomly chose these dishes based on the popular ranking displayed in the restaurant. The Stir-fried Water Spinach was delicious with a crispy texture and a buttery flavor that slowly spread in the mouth. The Sichuan Fried Noodles had a strong spicy taste and the noodles were delicious. The dumplings were just ordinary. Overall, the food was delicious. [Experience] This Chinese restaurant is located between Morinomiya Station and Tamatsukuri Station. There are many table seats available. It's a popular restaurant, and when asked if we had a reservation, we said no, so we were allowed in with a time limit.

Osaka Castle Park is starting to see cherry blossoms blooming, making it a pleasant spring day♪ I walked down Tamatsukuri-suji a bit and ordered a plate of Sichuan-style yakisoba at a Chinese restaurant! The bean sprouts, leeks, cabbage, and wood ear mushrooms were stir-fried until tender, and the thin, straight noodles were well coated! It's different from the spicy minced meat yakisoba you might imagine with Sichuan yakisoba... but it's still delicious in its own way! Thank you for the meal♪

I saw it on TV. It looked delicious, so I wanted to go. So, I went ☺️ The first floor was full, and I was told to wait a bit. I waited outside, but even when customers left, I wasn't called... why? It seemed busy inside, so I couldn't call out. I was about to give up when suddenly! There was a sign saying "Please go up to the second floor from the outside stairs!" There's a second floor?! Why didn't they tell me! I went up to the second floor and found only a few customers, so I was seated right away... (what was I waiting for outside?) Since I was already there, I ordered lunch menu and a la carte dishes! The dumplings were delicious as usual. The mapo tofu was... the mixed vegetables were... Hmmm, the TV hyped it up, but personally, it's just an ordinary Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood! I expected too much (sorry about that). It's a good restaurant if it's near your home! Thank you for the meal.

I went on a Sunday afternoon and there were about ten people in line. I tried the shrimp chili and the shredded pork with green peppers for the first time. The shrimp in the shrimp chili was firm and brought out the sweetness of the shrimp, with a spicy kick that comes later, making it delicious. The shredded pork with green peppers, which I thought was average in Jun Kahrou, was about two levels tastier than a certain major Chinese restaurant chain.

A town Chinese restaurant near Kyocera. Here, they serve dumplings, fried rice, and beer. The dan dan noodles could use a bit more depth and richness in the soup. The soy sauce ramen also needs more depth. The mapo tofu could use more depth... Overall, it needs more depth. The dumplings have a good texture and size, and the fried rice is nice and fluffy.

I wanted to eat delicious dumplings, so I was taken to this restaurant. I usually prefer crispy dumplings, but the dumplings here have a slightly chewy texture. When I tried them, the umami flavor of the ingredients inside oozed out and they were really delicious. The chewy texture was also delicious. The mapo tofu was delicious too, and I was impressed by the deliciousness of the sparkling and beautiful mixed vegetables. The shrimp and scallops were plump and very delicious. I want to try other menu items as well.
