A shop located in the area of Nakajima Renge in Hakodate. It's not easy to see from the outside, but there is a spacious sofa seating area in the back where at least 12 people can comfortably sit. It feels like a small private room and is quite relaxing. They have a variety of unique creative pasta dishes, and I was intrigued by the leek salt pasta, but this time I chose ginger. Ginger pasta may not be familiar, but it was quite delicious. The soft mountain of spaghetti, sweet and salty mixed vegetables, thinly sliced sausage, and the punchy aroma of ginger that lingers in the nose make for a fantastic combination. It has a bit of spiciness, but the refreshing and addictive flavor was great. Self-service for water, fork, and clearing the table. The homely and kind owner, and the cozy atmosphere like home, were very nice.

The reputation is good for lunch. It is located facing Nakajima Market. The owner is an elderly man working alone. You have to order water at the counter. You serve yourself pickles, side dishes, and miso soup, and then return the dishes to the dishwashing area when you finish. Payment is made in advance. Honestly, it seems like a lot of work... I can't help but feel sorry for him. I ordered curry. It was served in 5 seconds. It's just putting the pre-cooked curry on rice, so it's quick. Maybe there are a lot of people from the market eating here. I wonder if the people in suits are involved in materials and ingredients. Reputation is judged by the customers. The curry was delicious with tender meat. Thank you for the meal.

Welcome. ---------- January 2021 ----------In the Horikawa-cho area, there is a corner of the Nakajima-cho Nakadori shopping street called "Nakajima Cheap Sales" |o| °д°)ﾉGarararaIt seems like a cafeteria-style place with a Western-style interior, but it has a good reputation. It seems to be mostly frequented by regular customers, and the recommended dishes here are "squid sashimi and gyoza" according to reviews. Also, it operates on a prepayment system, and water, rice, and miso soup are self-service. The small dishes next to the counter are also self-service (stem seaweed, pickled radish). It's amusing to see the way they separate the egg whites and yolks in a ladle in the rice bowl with green onions and fried tofu. The "gyoza set meal" is homemade, with a firm skin texture and a juicy filling with plenty of meat. The rice is delicious, and the miso soup has a gentle flavor. It seems like you can have seconds (although no one else was doing it, so I thought it might not be allowed). I'm not sure if it has a good reputation, but it seems to be a place where people around gather and relax, so the locals say "it has a good reputation."

This is a restaurant in Hakodate, located in a corner of Nakajima Ryokan. The parking lot is shared with Nakajima Ryokan. You can park diagonally along the white line on the road in front of the shop. It can fit around 10 cars. It's a self-service and affordable place. When you arrive, you sit down, choose your menu, go tell the staff, pay, and wait. Water and chopsticks are self-service. When you order a set meal, you can pick one side dish and pickles from the counter at the end of the counter seats. You can serve yourself rice and miso soup at the side near the entrance. The main dish you ordered will be brought to your table, but everything else you have to find and do yourself. You also have to clean up your dishes at the end. The owner does everything alone and keeps the prices low, so this system works well. People are used to it, so it runs smoothly. If you're unsure, you can watch and learn from others. I ordered the Gyoza set meal and Napoli-tan. The Napoli-tan was a bit strong in flavor but classic and good. The Gyoza tasted like the kind you would make at home, a bit meaty. The side dish was a bit salty but I liked the taste. Note that they only serve lunch, so be careful about that!

Additional note: Currently, pasta is 600 yen, but on Wednesdays, it is discounted to 500 yen at Nakajima Renbai Service Day. It's very much appreciated. Visited in December 2019 for lunch at the well-reputed "Hyouban ii yo" in Hakodate. The name of the restaurant really fits - "Hyouban ii yo" (It's well-reputed). You can enjoy set meals and pasta at a reasonable price, making it a cost-effective and thankful place to eat. This time, I had the carbonara. You pay upfront, prepare your own water, find your own fork, and wait a few minutes. Probably heated and finished in a frying pan, but with only one owner, it seems tough when a lot of customers come at once. Eating here reminds me of a school cafeteria - a place with a comforting and relaxing taste and atmosphere. I'll definitely visit again in the future.

It's been a long time since I visited "It has a good reputation" restaurant. I honestly thought it wouldn't last long with a name like that, but it's been 5 years already. It's located a little off the beaten path from the central market in Hakodate. There is a parking space right in front of the restaurant, which is convenient for those driving. Inside, there was a couple of regular customers chatting. I ordered the grilled mackerel set meal for 600 yen. They start grilling the mackerel after you order, so it takes a bit of time. It's a self-service restaurant where you serve your own side dishes, rice, and miso soup. You can have seconds of rice and miso soup. The grilled mackerel was delicious and juicy. I had a bit more rice and enjoyed my meal. Next time, I'll try the spaghetti or omelette rice.

This is a restaurant located on Nakajima Renbai-dori, offering set meals and more. The owner runs the place alone, so it has a self-service feel. I ordered the Napolitan for 500 yen including tax, so I didn't expect a large portion. The miso soup is self-service. The pasta had a surprisingly generous portion and tasted simple yet delicious. It's actually nice that the 500 yen set meal allows you to adjust the amount of rice yourself. Even after the consumption tax increase, the price seems to remain the same, which is amazing.

I entered the store during opening hours and found no customers inside. The exterior showed signs of time passing, but the interior was clean and well-maintained. The floor was sparkling clean, and even the counter tables were properly cleaned. What surprised me was the presence of sofa seats, adding a unique atmosphere to the place. The menu mainly consisted of items around 500 yen, with options like squid sashimi set. I decided to order the 500 yen pork cutlet set, paying in advance. As it was my first time there, I looked around the store while water, tea, rice, and miso soup were self-served. I waited a bit, and the owner brought out the pork cutlet plate. The meal was ready with rice and miso soup, and the cutlet, though thin, was freshly fried. The miso soup was delicious, and the rice was particularly impressive. The side dish of spaghetti had a rich flavor, adding to the satisfaction of the meal. The only downside was that I missed out on two small side dishes as they were self-served and I didn't notice. I thought about trying the squid sashimi set next time. Around midday, regular customers started coming in, and it seemed like the owner was quite popular and had a good reputation. It's definitely a well-liked place.

It seems that the store used to open at 11:00, but recently it's still preparing even at 11:30. The interior of the store is spacious, with table counters and sofa seats. The background music today was by Southern All Stars. Many people seemed to be ordering pasta. Despite being only 500 yen, the portions are generous. They also offer set meals. You can help yourself to as much white rice, miso soup, tea, and water as you like. This time, I ordered the pork sauté, and I was very satisfied with it for just 500 yen.

Long time no see. I wonder if the prices have changed? I had the Napoli Tzure and my friend had the yakiniku set meal (no image). The rice was delicious too. We were able to pay with PayPay.

Cheap, fast, delicious, not crowded - nothing to complain about. I don't want to recommend it too much in case it gets too busy, but I hope this hidden gem continues for a long time.

I had tonkatsu, but it seemed like it was fried in a lot of oil because it was close to closing time. As a result, I couldn't have unlimited rice and miso soup refills like before.

Looking for dinner ingredients, I visited "Hakodate Citizens' Kitchen" in Nakanoshima Market. I usually have lunch at "Shige-chan Sushi" but today I decided to try this place called "It's Good, They Say." The name seems a bit playful, but I heard good things about it, so I thought I'd give it a try. I found a menu board outside advertising an "Squid Sashimi Set Meal for 500 yen" so I decided to order that. The interior had table seating and sofa seating, with a self-service system where you pay upfront. The meal was served in about 7-8 minutes. The squid sashimi set meal was only 500 yen, which was quite cheap. The squid wasn't the freshest, but it was still tasty. The rice was a bit soft, but overall it was a satisfying lunch. I look forward to trying their boiled or grilled fish set meal next time. I will definitely come back again.

I went to "It's got a good reputation" today. It's a diner in Nakanoshima. Even though I arrived at 1:30, the place was bustling. There are counter seats, tables, and sofa seats, and I chose a table seat. The sofa seats seemed to be a place for regular elderly customers to relax. I ordered the recommended dish of the day, "Mackerel Miso Stew". While waiting for the dish to arrive, I snacked on dried plums provided at each table. The mackerel miso stew arrived in about 5 minutes and looked delicious! The rice went down smoothly. The vegetable salad was plentiful, and the squid and daikon simmered in a small dish were also delicious. The miso soup was flavorful with plenty of ingredients. All this for just one coin is amazing! The lady owner was also very nice, so I've decided to visit again. I wish there was a restaurant like this near my home. Thank you for the meal!

Located in Hakodate, "Nakajima Renbai" is on the right hand side when entering from the Electric Railway Street. There is a shared parking lot nearby for those traveling by car. Please refer to the menu images for the available dishes. In addition to that, they also offer "Squid Sashimi Set Meal" and "Pork Cutlet Set Meal" as seen at the storefront. They can also make Katsudon. The daily specials can be confirmed at the store. The interior can also be used as a cafe, with luxurious reception chairs and a splendid karaoke set. I ordered the Gyoza Set Meal (with extra rice) and Curry (with medium rice), which came with side dishes and salad, all for a very reasonable price. The sesame dressing was also a nice touch. The gyoza had thin skin, flavorful filling with a hint of garlic, and was delicious. The rice was also very appetizing. This restaurant truly lives up to its good reputation (laughs).

Walking along Nakajima Street, I was lured into a restaurant by the name. Inside, I found a friendly couple who seemed to be the owners. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a small counter, tables, and a sofa to choose from. I opted for the sofa seating, where I noticed a karaoke set on the side. The place had a cozy feel, almost like a pub at night. The lunch menu offered three options: homemade gyoza set, special curry set, and daily fish set, all priced at 500 yen. I chose the homemade gyoza set and while waiting, I saw several regular customers ordering takeout, all opting for omurice, which wasn't listed on the menu. I was curious about this secret menu. As I waited, I snacked on the complimentary dried plum. The homemade gyoza set (500 yen) came with 8 small gyoza made with locally sourced leeks from Chino Town and garlic from Aomori Prefecture. The garlic flavor was not overpowering. The set also included miso soup, pickles, and a generous serving of salad. It was a satisfying meal for just 500 yen. The gyoza was also available for takeout, priced at 350 yen for 8 pieces.

The location is good, with a shared parking lot for 35 cars. Access by car is convenient. The lunch menu is priced at 500 yen each, offering curry set meals, gyoza set meals, and more. I had the daily special (squid sashimi). 1. The squid sashimi portion was half the size of Inabune-ya's. The taste was decent. 2. The salad was a normal green salad, with a good portion. 3. Rice is available in large portions at the same price. 4. The miso soup was delicious, with plenty of summer vegetables and ingredients. 5. Other side dishes and pickles were also included. Overall, there was nothing outstanding, but it's good for those looking for a filling meal at a reasonable price. I recommend trying the curry and gyoza.
