The thinly sliced meat stir-fried noodles I had last time were delicious, so this time I tried the thinly sliced meat Chinese fried rice. The taste was just as good as last time. It's basically the same seasoning, just with rice instead of noodles. The flavor is exquisite. I'm thinking of trying the thinly sliced meat ramen next time. I'm also curious about the miso chashu noodles and Cantonese noodles.

Volume, taste, and cost performance - this restaurant has it all. This time, I tried the pork sliced yakisoba for 700 yen, which I had never had before. It was crowded during lunchtime, but I managed to find a seat at one of the three counter seats. All the customers seemed to be regulars. I patiently waited in the smoky shop until the yakisoba was served, and when it arrived, I was in awe. The yakisoba had thick brown noodles topped with thinly sliced pork, green peppers, carrots, bean sprouts, and wood ear mushrooms. The aroma was amazing! It looked delicious even before I took a bite. The chewy noodles and richly flavored ingredients complemented each other perfectly. It was quite oily, almost like an oil-based yakisoba. The portion was generous, and I left satisfied. Next time, I might try the pork sliced chukadon for 700 yen. I wonder why it's called a chukadon instead of a pork sliced rice bowl? Isn't it just the same ingredients on top of rice?

I visited Hachien Ashino store! This is my second visit after going to Akebono Hachien last time. When entering the store, there is a counter and a small raised seating area. The interior is not very spacious. I sat at the counter and looked at the menu, which was a bit sticky. I ordered the Tamago Chaahan for 550 yen. It was served in about 8 minutes. It came with soup, which was nice. The rice was quite hard, almost like fried rice, but the seasoning was not bad, just simple salt and pepper. The egg was cooked well. Both the ramen and the chaahan are a good deal when you want to eat both. The Shoyu Ramen for 500 yen and the Tamago Chaahan for 550 yen make a satisfying meal for 1,050 yen. Thanks for the meal!

Ankake yakisoba (650 yen including tax) This small restaurant has about 3 counter seats and 3 tables on a raised platform. It has the atmosphere of a typical Chinese restaurant with a lot of character. The taste of the food itself is just "good" but when you consider the excellent service, cozy atmosphere, generous portion size, and hot temperature of the dishes, it's a place worth revisiting. I wish there were more restaurants like this in the neighborhood.

This restaurant specializes in classic Chinese cuisine, offering affordable dishes with generous portions. Upon arriving at the restaurant's parking lot, the smell of curry fills the air for some reason. Inside the restaurant, I checked the menu and found Chinese-style curry rice and Zangi curry rice. Although I originally planned to order beef rice bowl, I decided to try the Zangi curry rice for 800 yen. The Zangi curry rice arrived with a tantalizing aroma, and the appearance was very appetizing. The Zangi, including five pieces of chicken, was buried in the curry. The curry was not made with roux, but with curry sauce, and it contained ingredients like onions, pork, and carrots. Although it looked rich, the taste was surprisingly mild at first, gradually becoming more flavorful as I ate. It was a unique and delicious flavor, true to authentic Chinese cuisine. The portion was satisfying, and I almost reached my limit after finishing the meal. I'm thinking of trying the beef rice bowl, Tianjin rice bowl, or char siu noodles next time.

Visit date June 5, 2021. For lunch on this day, I visited Hachiboen Ashino with a friend. We arrived around 12:15. There were 2 groups of customers before us, 1 group after us, and 2 takeout customers. Our order was: - Miso Chashu Ramen 700 yen - Thinly sliced meat Yakisoba 700 yen The Miso Chashu Ramen had a very strong flavor soup, a combination of miso and seasoning, and the chashu had a strong taste as well. The noodles were slightly thicker than thin noodles. If the flavor is this strong, thicker noodles would have been better. It's a matter of preference. The portion was generous and the cost performance was good. The Thinly sliced meat Yakisoba had medium-thick, soft noodles with a slightly salty taste. It had Chinjao Rosu with fewer green peppers on top. There were some burnt bits on the noodles. While the flavor of the yakisoba was strong, the taste of the accompanying soup was too light to really discern. According to my notes, the amount paid was 1,700 yen. However, based on the menu prices, the total should have been 1,400 yen. I'm not sure if my notes were wrong, if the menu was incorrect, or if the staff made a mistake. It's been half a year, so I don't remember! Haha Thank you for the meal.

I have tried the voluminous ankake yakisoba and chuka-don at this popular restaurant. This time, I ordered the Gomoku Chahan for 650 yen. I visited around 1 o'clock and there was only one customer before me. After ordering the Chahan, I continued to look at the menu. I'm considering what to order next. The Crab Chahan for 650 yen seems cheap. The Chashu Men for 650 yen also looks tempting. The Beef Chuka-don also caught my eye. Does the Crab Chahan have crab on top? Or is it different from what I ordered? The customer before me seems to be enjoying their meal, so I guess this is the correct order. The ingredients in the Gomoku Chahan include egg, chashu, and green onions. The crab is just on top, not inside, so this must be the Gomoku Chahan, right? Maybe it's a bit moist due to the oil content. The seasoning is just right. It would be good as a standalone dish or even with ramen. The portion size is average, not small. Once again, I am satisfied with a delicious lunch. There is another restaurant with the same name in Kushiro-cho, so I will visit there too. It's intriguing.

On March 24, 2021 (Wednesday), I visited this place for lunch as the second stop after having curry. The table was sticky with years of oil stains, and the overall interior was not particularly clean, including the chairs and walls. However, this is a testament to the fact that this place has been loved by the locals for a long time. It adds to the charm of being a typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant. I ordered the Five-Mixed Fried Rice (including tax, 650 yen), which many reviews mentioned as being very generous in portion size. However, I didn't find it to be overly large. As a light eater, I was able to finish it after having curry, which shows how delicious it was! The fried rice was not greasy and had a nice fluffy texture. The flavor was light yet had a nice toasty taste from the stir-frying process, and you could also taste the egg flavor. The small amount of crab meat mixed in added a nice touch. However, the Chinese soup was a bit weak and lacked depth in flavor, which was not to my liking. Overall, considering the quality and quantity, the price of 650 yen was very reasonable! I definitely want to come back and try other items on the menu. A definite repeat visit!

Cheap and generous portion Chinese restaurant? This time I had the Chinese rice bowl for 650 yen. There were 2 cars in the parking lot but no customers. It was around 1:30 pm. I was torn between the Zangi bowl and the Chinese bowl this time. I could hear the sound of cooking and it made me even more hungry. The appearance was almost the same as the Ankake Yakisoba I had last time, except for the egg. The taste is not too strong, a bit on the light side, but not boring. Be careful, it's very hot. The ingredients are not particularly distinctive, but the flavor is to my liking. Adding vinegar for flavor variation makes it even more delicious. It's not exceptionally delicious, but the cost performance is good for this price. This restaurant is now on my rotation.

Located just a little off the main road in a residential area, this restaurant is surrounded by parking spaces in an L-shape that can fit around 7 cars. It looks like a typical local Chinese restaurant from the outside. Inside, it has a few counter seats and a raised seating area. I ordered the sauce-covered yakisoba for 650 yen. The dish was served promptly since it was early on a weekday. The bowl was not too big but had depth, and it came with a light soup. The portion was quite generous, with mainly vegetables, a small amount of pork, and tiny shrimp. The flavor was not very strong. The most distinctive feature was the noodles - they were thick and brown, with a chewy texture. It felt a bit strange at first, but I got used to it and ended up liking it. Adding vinegar towards the end made it refreshing. It was a good value for the amount of food you get. I might try the mixed fried rice or the Zangi-don next time.

"Happoen" I'm alone in Kushiro. My original goal was to conquer all the Kushiro soba shops, but I need to change my goal. It's starting to feel empty. Today, soba was not good again, but I do takeout as well. Lately, they always include fried rice in the order. Today, I called "Happoen." An older lady answered. "Can I get fried rice for takeout?" "Yes, you can." "Okay, please." "Eh?" This clear "eh?" was surprising, but well, it's an older lady, right? Is it okay? Maybe she's busy? That's why she seemed absent-minded? Anyway, I'm happy she took the order, but she hung up right away without asking my name. Well, it's fine, she's an older lady. While hanging up, she said "fried rice,..." but didn't ask for my name. She's an older lady. It's a bit off the main road, but the restaurant is quite clean. I may not have passed by here before. It's younger than I imagined, but well, it's okay. There were two groups of customers at the raised seating area and a few seats at the counter. It costs 650 yen. It's quite heavy. That's Kushiro for you. It'll be warmed up for me as my wife is running late. The fried rice isn't too oily or dry. The flavor isn't too strong, but it lacks depth and richness. However, there's something about it that's a bit scary because it's not strong in any aspect. It's unforgettable. What is it? It's delicious. The lack of depth and richness is part of the Chinese style, I guess. It has crab in it, but it's a bit expensive considering the price. "You can feel the seafood," they say. When my wife returned, she started eating my leftovers. At first, she said, "It's strange, but good." But she couldn't stop eating. Even so, she handed it back to me. I took a bite and knew it was too good, so I pushed it back to her. She happily continued eating. It was delicious.

First visit. I went to Hachiboen Ashino store. I had heard that it was a delicious local Chinese restaurant and had been curious about it for a while. The inside had a typical Chinese restaurant feel, with a lot of character. I generally think that these kinds of places are tasty. There were counter seats and a raised seating area. I ordered the Ankake Yakisoba. While looking at the menu, I commented on how good everything looked. It took about 10 minutes for the food to arrive. A huge portion of yakisoba was served, and it only cost 650 yen! The taste was just right, not too rich or too light. The cost performance was excellent! It felt like a local Chinese restaurant. There is a public university nearby, so I think that's why the portions are so generous. My companion ordered the "Meat Thinly Sliced Yakisoba" for 700 yen, and that also had a large portion. They mentioned that it was a bit oily, but that's to be expected with Chinese food. The taste was just right. It was quite delicious. I would like to try other items on the menu next time. Thank you for the meal!

Located in various places in Kushiro, Yaho-en has a nostalgic Chinese atmosphere. The interior of the store gives off a feeling of old-fashioned Chinese charm. I visited on a Sunday at 11:15 am and there was one customer at the counter enjoying stir-fried dishes and bottled beer. I was a bit envious as I had to drive. There were also two families who seemed like regular customers. One person ordered two fried rice dishes to go, in a very familiar manner. It was clear that this place is loved by the local community. I ordered the thinly sliced meat yakisoba with a rich sauce and plenty of meat ingredients, with the noodles being on the softer side. The fried rice for takeout had a delicious aroma. If I visit again, I might try their rice dishes. Thank you for the meal!

The bean sprouts are crunchy, the wood ear mushrooms are chewy♪ The seasoning is perfect too. It's delicious! (*^^*)

The portion size is quite generous. The taste is not as strong as expected, so I was able to eat it smoothly until the end. The ingredients are similar to Chinjao Rosu. The seasoning is quite ordinary. There may be variations depending on the menu.

Cheap, delicious, fast! My favorite Chinese restaurant in town. Highly recommend the mapo tofu ramen, Tianjin rice, and sliced meat Chinese bowl. Ah, it was so tasty!

Mapo Ramen for 650 yen. It's piping hot and spicy, but you can slurp it all up. Makes you crave rice!

Mapo tofu bowl 650 yen Spicy and delicious. The portion size is generous.

Zangi Donburi for 800 yen is delicious.
