I really like the ethnic flavor of the "Taiwanese ramen" at this restaurant! And when I order the "huge fried chicken" set meal, it often comes with it! No matter which set meal you choose, the portions are quite generous, so you will feel satisfied! But as a big eater, I always add "large fried rice" to my meal! This time, as I am dining alone, I can enjoy my meal without worrying about sharing with family members. I ordered the 1080 yen set meal "Taiwanese ramen and shrimp chili" with large fried rice. The staff asked, "Can you finish it?" and I confidently said, "Yes!" The order was quickly taken, and the staff, who seemed to be from that region, was efficient and decisive, which was nice. However, many customers end up taking their leftovers home because the portions are really big at this restaurant. I remember the amount of food from my last visit, so I know what to expect. But my stomach can handle up to 3096g, so I think I can manage with the addition of large fried rice. I eagerly awaited my meal! After a while, the food was served: ramen, shrimp chili, rice, salad, pickles, and dessert. It was a good amount of food. But then, they brought out 2 huge pieces of fried chicken and a mountain of fried rice. The size of the dishes may not be clear in the photos, but the fried chicken and fried rice were really huge! After taking some photos, I dug in. The Taiwanese ramen was delicious with its unique Southeast Asian broth. The shrimp chili was sweet and the shrimp was tender and tasty. The fried chicken was really huge, almost hiding the rice bowl underneath. The crispy coating was perfect, not too salty, and the inside was juicy and flavorful. The fried rice was amazing, just like the one you get at a Chinese restaurant, perfectly cooked with fluffy egg. It was all very delicious! After finishing the meal, I checked the weights of each dish and the total weight of my meal. I noticed that this time, I could hear more Japanese being spoken from the kitchen compared to my last visit when I could only hear Chinese. I will definitely visit this restaurant again!

I was curious about the individual menu item, the hot pot mapo tofu, but since it was my first visit, I ordered the lunch set with mapo tofu and ramen. I chose the Taiwan ramen for the set. The mapo tofu was spicy but not too hot, and the ramen was light and refreshing. I left feeling satisfied.

Director Shinichi Fujisaki of BODYPITKYOTO here. On the way back from Nara, I passed by this shop multiple times and was curious about it. It was hard to enter because I had to make a right turn on the way back from Nara. Today, I went from Kyoto to Nara in the early afternoon, so I was able to easily enter. The Chinese lunch set was incredibly cheap. It included fried chicken set, Taiwan ramen with rice, and surprisingly, two huge pieces of fried chicken. It was delicious! My girlfriend had the sweet and sour pork bowl set. It was like a dream come true to have sweet and sour pork on rice. It was incredibly tasty. Thank you very much.

I had a sudden craving for fried rice and decided to visit during lunchtime. The restaurant was bustling with customers. Today, I chose garlic fried rice, Taiwanese-style sweet and sour pork, and mixed yakisoba. I have tried fried rice with mixed ingredients, Taiwanese-style, and garlic before, and the best one was the Taiwanese fried rice. The seasoning was the most flavorful and stood out. The garlic fried rice I had this time, unfortunately, had whole garlic cloves which were too overpowering and lacked the nice aroma of sautéed garlic. As for the noodles, I have tried Taiwanese, soy sauce, and tonkotsu flavors before, and besides Taiwanese, the others were not impressive in terms of soup seasoning. Today, I decided to try the Taiwanese-style sweet and sour pork, and unlike the black vinegar pork which had a strong oyster-like smell, this one was sweet and sour without any strong flavors, and once again, Taiwan takes the crown.

Hello, today is Sunday, February 12, 2023. I drove my partner to the Otsu Keihoku Handmade Marche for their booth. After it ended, we had a meal here as our reward. We have been here many times and the food was as good as always. I ordered the night set meal, which was the fried chicken set for 950 yen including tax, with mapo rice and grilled rice. The portion was quite generous, especially for a senior like me. We will be going back to the Marche on March 12, so I will make sure to report back on the results and hopefully get treated to a kaiseki meal next time. ^_^

End-of-year holiday. Discussing where to have lunch today. My partner expressed a desire to eat Tianjin rice, so we headed to the restaurant. I had a bit of a traumatic experience at this place before when I was feeling unwell and couldn't eat properly. I ended up bedridden afterward, so I had a bit of a trauma associated with this restaurant. However, today I am feeling great. I'm in the mood for fried chicken. Yes! It's the perfect day for a revenge meal! Looking at reviews from other customers, the Tianjin rice also looks delicious! I might want to try the Tianjin rice and fried chicken too! There is one parking spot available. Even though it's still before lunchtime, the restaurant is starting to get a bit crowded. We carefully explored the menu. While I was tempted by the set meals, I ended up choosing the Tianjin rice and fried chicken set, which seemed to have the least amount of food. Due to my past trauma, I was a bit wary. My partner chose the liver and leek set with Taiwan ramen, and a large serving of Tianjin rice with an additional order of black vinegar sweet and sour pork for sharing. As we waited, we overheard conversations around us. It seems that many families order set meals and individual dishes to share when dining here. It's a common practice at restaurants with large portions. Finally, my partner's Tianjin rice arrived. They looked happy with the depth of the bowl and the generous serving. Next, my regular-sized Tianjin rice arrived. I felt a moment of relief when I compared it to my partner's. But wait, isn't it huge? Maybe even twice the size of the one I had at a different restaurant a few days ago? It's a common thing at restaurants with large portions. My partner's Taiwan ramen set was also served, leaving only the fried chicken and sweet and sour pork. I started to feel a bit nervous. And finally, the fried chicken and sweet and sour pork from the set arrived. Look, it's the reverse fraud from the menu photo! Why is the fried chicken so small on the small plate? It doesn't fit properly, so I had to stack them on top of each other! It's a common thing at restaurants with large portions. Enough of this! Let's just eat! The sweet and sour pork also arrived! Is there salt for the fried chicken? I tried to find it on the table, but my partner pointed downwards. It was under the fried chicken, inside the small plate. I couldn't see it! And I couldn't reach it! I put one piece of fried chicken on the soup bowl and sprinkled some salt on it. It was hot and delicious! I'm feeling great! Hooray! Let's try the Tianjin rice! With plenty of sauce and a shiny egg, I took a spoonful and tasted it. The fluffy egg revealing the perfectly cooked rice, the right amount of saltiness in the sauce, it's quite to my liking! Delicious! My partner also seemed satisfied. However, after eating about half, we both looked at each other. It's quite a lot, isn't it? My partner entered full-on eating mode. We shared the liver and leek and sweet and sour pork, and I tried to eat as much as I could. The liver and leek had a slightly reddish color, maybe with ketchup? It was a bit sweet? Plenty of vegetables and liver. The black vinegar sweet and sour pork had a hint of black sugar, making it a bit sweet. The Tianjin rice, which would have been a large serving at other restaurants, had me struggling in the second half, both with the generous amount of sauce and the thick egg drop soup. I managed to finish it somehow. My partner also finished everything, very satisfied, and we left the restaurant. However, my stomach was at its limit. I don't think I can eat anything with a larger portion at this restaurant. Maybe I'll stick to ordering individual dishes or pushing some food onto my partner next time. I'd like to come back again, though.

I had been curious about this restaurant along Route 24 where I occasionally run by. Looking at the reviews on Tabelog, it seems like a place with generous portions that I would enjoy. On my way home, I decided to stop by for an early dinner. I arrived around 5 pm on a weekday and it seemed like I was the first customer of the evening. The staff, who appeared to be Chinese, showed me to a table without a hint of friendliness. I didn't expect Japanese-style service at this kind of restaurant, so I just sat down and ordered the Tianjin rice, fried chicken, and a ramen set with Taiwan ramen. The food was served after a wait of about 9 minutes. Although I had gathered some information beforehand, I was still impressed by the size of the portions. The Tianjin rice and fried chicken were huge. The Taiwan ramen was quite spicy and really warmed me up. The soup had a tangy herbal flavor that I couldn't quite place... reading other reviews, I learned it was the star anise (;^ω^) The noodles were soft and slippery, maybe a bit too soft for my liking as a fan of chewy noodles. But I guess it's good to savor the soup. The Tianjin rice was surprisingly large for a set meal. The amount of rice was also substantial. The rich sauce had a flavor suited for hardworking men driving along Route 24. However, it wasn't too heavy, and the fluffy egg added a nice touch. The fried chicken, which came with two large pieces, was crispy on the outside and juicy and flavorful on the inside. Even though the pieces were big, I didn't get tired of eating them. For dessert, I had a small but refreshing almond jelly, and all of this for 880 yen was quite a deal. The staff seemed relatively friendly when it came time to pay. Restaurants run by Chinese owners can be hit or miss, but I thought this place was very competitive in terms of cost performance. I would like to visit again when passing by Route 24, and maybe even try the Uji Tahara branch. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the restaurant for lunch. There were many menu options, but I ordered the ramen set. There were various types of ramen and fried rice to choose from, and I chose the Taiwan ramen with garlic fried rice set. I also thought about ordering the oil-drizzled chicken, but I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish it, so I decided to order it later if my stomach allowed. Soon after ordering, the Taiwan ramen arrived! It had a unique aroma that you wouldn't find in Japanese Chinese restaurants - it really felt like China! I started with the soup, which was spicy and delicious. The minced chicken was light and tasty, and the noodles were ordinary but I thought it was a high-quality ramen. As a fan of spicy food, I enjoyed it while adjusting the taste with shichimi and pepper. The garlic fried rice was moist and well-cooked, with finely chopped garlic adding a strong flavor. The portions were generous, and I was full after finishing the ramen and fried rice. I thought it was amazing value for 700 yen! Next time, I want to try the set meal with the oil-drizzled chicken. Both my stomach and wallet were very satisfied at this restaurant. It seemed like the staff in the kitchen were Chinese, as they occasionally spoke in Chinese with the waitstaff. Even in Japan, you can feel like you're on a trip overseas. Thank you for the meal.

When I visited the Oyodo store before, I was surprised by the huge portion size, and I was looking for something similar nearby. I found out that there was a place nearby that was visited by locals as well, and it was a replica of the Oyodo store. I decided to visit this place. They offer three daily specials, but of course, I chose the fried chicken set. I paired it with a salt ramen. My son also got the fried chicken set with soy sauce ramen. My wife ordered the pork bone soy sauce ramen with a side of fried rice. The dishes that came out did not disappoint, with a generous amount of crispy fried chicken. The salt ramen was a bit too salty, making it hard to drink the soup. The fried rice had a great flavor. The price was also amazing, only 700 yen including tax. This place is highly recommended for when you want a hearty meal.

I followed the recommendations of people I follow and ended up trying a Chinese restaurant that I was curious about. They had a great set menu deal with ramen, rice, and a side dish for only 980 yen. Normally, I would have ordered that, but then I saw something on the menu that caught my eye - black vinegar pork. I love it! So, I changed my mind and ordered a la carte instead. I got the black vinegar pork for 800 yen, mixed vegetables for 780 yen, and special mapo tofu for 780 yen. I also ordered a large rice for 300 yen and a medium rice for 200 yen. The black vinegar pork was a bit tangy, but I like it that way. The dish was mainly pork with some cabbage and cucumber mixed in, so be careful if you don't like cucumbers (like me). The mixed vegetables were light but flavorful, perfect as a side dish with rice. The special mapo tofu was served in a hot pot, bubbling away. It was spicy and full of flavor, with a strong kick of Sichuan peppercorns. If you don't like it too spicy, they also have a regular mapo tofu option. Overall, the menu had a lot of interesting items that I want to try next time. It was a great meal. I will definitely come back. I also noticed a takeaway set of fried appetizers that looked like a great deal with a huge portion for around 2200 yen.

I visited the restaurant "Chinse Cuisine Bansho Sanchou Branch" after seeing the review of 〇〇〇〇〇★さん! I entered the restaurant at 13:20. It seemed like a deep and spacious place. I was guided to a large 6-person table on the right side after entering the entrance. I carefully looked at the menu and made my decision. - Entry Number ① (1st year junior high school boy) Order: Ramen Set 700 yen (Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen + Fried Rice) Status: 10:30 Wake up, 11:00 Breakfast *Despite being advised to eat less for lunch due to the large portion, he had Curry Udon and added the leftover curry to white rice! - Entry Number ② (Woman in her 50s) Order: 980 yen set meal (Youlin Chicken) Status: 7:00 Wake up, 9:00 Breakfast - Entry Number ③ (Man in his 50s) Order: Ramen Set 700 yen (Tianjin Ramen + Garlic Fried Rice) Status: 6:00 Wake up, 8:30 Breakfast * The dishes were served in 7-8 minutes in order! - Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen - Fried Rice - 980 yen set meal - Tianjin Ramen - Garlic Fried Rice The son mentioned that the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen was not exactly to his liking and he might try the regular Tonkotsu Ramen next time. The portion of the Fried Rice was huge and both the son and wife enjoyed it. The wife was surprised by the amount of food in the set meal, which included different items than the menu photo. The Tianjin Ramen had a generous amount of eggs and the noodles were of a medium thickness. The Garlic Fried Rice was a hit with its strong garlic flavor. The diners were focused on eating and there was little conversation during the meal. After 30 minutes, the battle of eating came to an end. Results: - Entry Number ①: Ate everything except the Chashu, which the mother ate. Gave up on 60% of the Fried Rice. - Entry Number ②: Gave up on half of the Youlin Chicken and took it home. Gave up on one piece of the Fried Chicken and took it home. - Entry Number ③: Finished everything. It was a very satisfying meal with great value for money. They even had a second dinner at 20:00, sharing the leftovers.

When driving on National Route 24, I came across a Chinese restaurant that seemed surprisingly popular in the countryside. The parking lot was almost full at lunchtime! Despite being in the countryside and amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, this restaurant was thriving. So, I decided to check it out with some friends! We arrived at the restaurant a little after 1 pm. While the exterior didn't give much away, the interior was spacious with table seating and even raised tatami seating. We ordered the Ramen Set for 700 yen each, and also purchased takeaway containers, plastic bags, and rubber bands for 5 yen. The Ramen Set allows you to choose a combination of ramen and rice, with options like soy sauce ramen with fried rice, Taiwanese ramen with mapo rice, etc. We chose Taiwanese ramen with fried rice and Taiwanese ramen with mapo rice. After placing our order, we waited for a while, but even the water pot was not brought to our table. After 30 minutes, we finally got our food served. The Taiwanese ramen was simple with toppings like minced pork, leeks, and sliced chili peppers. The soup had a delicious soy sauce flavor and the noodles were cooked just right. The minced pork was a bit dry, but the chili peppers added a nice kick. The fried rice was massive in portion, making it impossible to finish. It was well-cooked with egg, green onions, and ham. The mapo rice ordered by my friend was also a huge portion, with a deliciously spicy flavor. Overall, the food was tasty but the portion sizes were overwhelming.

I had the Karaage lunch set at Bansho. I chose fried rice as the main dish. The fried rice had a thick, sweet, and strong sauce which I didn't really like. The egg soup was also too thick and lacked flavor, so I left it unfinished. The Karaage was quite large, about the size of two normal pieces. It is the type that you sprinkle with salt before eating. Personally, I prefer Karaage that is marinated well before frying, like the one I had in a vegetable and Karaage stir-fry dish the other day. The portion size is good and the price is cheap, but it seems like there can be hits and misses in terms of taste.

I had the daily lunch special at Wansheng Sancheng Restaurant. I chose the vegetable and fried chicken stir-fry with Taiwan ramen. I wasn't expecting much, but the vegetable and fried chicken stir-fry was a great choice. It was packed with vegetables and crispy fried chicken pieces, providing a good amount of volume and adding a nice texture. The Taiwan ramen was a bit bland, but you can adjust the flavor to your liking using the soy sauce on the table. There were also a decent amount of toppings on the ramen. The meal came with a side salad of shredded cabbage and a half croquette. If this menu is available as a daily special again, I would definitely order it.

My honest impression of the old Chinese restaurant near my wife's parents' house is "I can't believe there's an authentic Chinese restaurant in such a rural area." It's cheap, delicious, and most importantly, the portions are generous. The cost performance is great for both lunch and dinner. The staff, while mostly speaking broken Japanese, are polite and explain things carefully. They have a warm and friendly atmosphere that naturally makes you smile. With 24 seats, it's a cozy place that I highly recommend checking out.

Visited in June 2019 with a rating of 3.07 on Tabelog (15 reviews). On our way back from a family trip to Mie Prefecture, we stopped by "Chinese Cuisine Bansho Sanchotei" for dinner. It was located in a somewhat isolated area with noticeable lights. Inside, there were more seats towards the back than expected, making it quite spacious. The menu was extensive, so it took us a while to decide what to order. I was in the mood for Tianjin rice, so I chose a set that came with it. The Tianjin rice was thick with a generous portion, and the slightly sweet soy sauce topping was quite delicious. The salt ramen that came with a half portion was light in flavor, typical of ramen from a Chinese restaurant. The size of the fried chicken was surprisingly large and the meat was tender with a crispy skin, quite tasty. The set had a substantial amount of food, so it might be challenging to finish if you're not feeling well. I tried a bit of the other sets ordered by my family. The Taiwan ramen had a strong star anise flavor, which some found a bit unusual, but my eldest son ended up enjoying the soup. The dumplings were simply delicious. The mapo tofu was spicier than it looked, with a noticeable chili kick, although the Sichuan pepper flavor was subtle. The food was decent and reasonably priced, making it a great place to fill up your stomach. Thank you for the meal.

I had the leek and liver set meal. It came with leek and liver stir-fry, salad, a choice of soy sauce, salt, Taiwanese flavor ramen, two juicy chicken thigh cutlets, rice, pickles, and almond jelly for only 980 yen. I am always surprised by the value for money. The service is straightforward, but the high cost performance makes it not a concern at all. There are set meals with fried chicken starting from the 700 yen range, which are all quite a good deal. They also offer all-you-can-eat options, which I would like to try someday. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I visited a Chinese restaurant for the first time. I ordered the set meal, which included Eight Treasures dish, ramen, salad, pickles, and dessert. The first to come out was the special large-sized fried chicken. The taste was good. I highly recommend this place and I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

This Chinese restaurant stands out for its low prices. The satisfaction of the daily lunch special is great, but the taste is just average. Considering the price, it is sufficient.・Daily lunch special: 680 yen ◆I have been casually posting records of dining out mainly in Kansai. These records started in 2012 when I began to leave personal gourmet reports in earnest. For restaurants without ratings, the records are based on my memory, so they may be limited, but all the restaurants were visited by the author. There is no conflict of interest with any of the restaurants. ◇◆Rating Criteria◇ Ratings are given in increments of 0.5 points, with an average score of 3 points. 1 point: A restaurant I never want to visit again 2 points: A restaurant I would try to avoid going to 3 points: A restaurant I would like to visit again 4 points: A restaurant I would like to visit multiple times 5 points: A restaurant that touched my soul

I heard that this restaurant serves huge fried chicken near my house, so I decided to check it out. I was surprised when I saw the menu. The set meal comes with a main dish, salad, rice, ramen, and fried chicken!! And all of this for under 1,000 yen, which is such a great deal and makes me happy. You can choose from four types of ramen: Taiwan ramen, soy sauce ramen, tonkotsu ramen, and salt ramen. This is also great!! I love sweet and sour pork, so I ordered the sweet and sour pork set meal. When the food arrived, I was amazed by the huge fried chicken (^▽^;) It was crispy and delicious. I shared the meal with my young daughter, and the amount was just right. Even though the fried chicken was too big for us to finish, they offered to pack it for takeout, which was very helpful. The restaurant has both table and tatami seating, so you can choose where to sit. There are also many individual menu items to try and share with others, which seems like a fun idea.

The restaurant has a foreign atmosphere with interesting decorations. The food arrives quickly after ordering and is delicious with generous portions. The prices are reasonable and I definitely want to come back again.
