Visited for a weekday lunch I'd been curious about it for a while, but the parking lot is hard to get into so I'd hesitated This time there was no car behind me, and no car had parked there ahead of me, so I gave it a try There were no other customers, but since it was lunchtime several groups came in after, and the lunch menu might indeed be a good deal That day I ordered from the lunch menu the hoikoro and the chicken and nut stir-fry plus gyoza Both the hoikoro and the chicken looked spicy, but they weren't The flavor was on the strong side, a bit oily The gyoza had chewy skins with juices bursting out, delicious. One of us ordered a large rice but I don't feel the amount changed much Not sure about the price.. The parking lot is hard to get into, but the ramen and such looked tasty too, so I'd like to come back

Oct.2025 I was in the mood for fried rice so I came here for the first time. It was past 1 p.m. and there were only a few customers. Like other places, the set meals here are reasonable, so I imagine many people order those. This time I ordered the shrimp fried rice, which seems to be on the regular menu. It took a little while, but it was served and I dug in. The saltiness wasn't sharp, it was gentle overall, and not greasy, so it was the kind of seasoning you could keep eating forever (not really, though). The only thing—probably hard to do cost-wise— was that the shrimp, the key ingredient, were small. Of course, there were a decent number of them... I liked the flavor, so I'd like to come back and try other dishes. Thanks for the meal😋

With this taste! At this price! Those words fit perfectly—I went to Hyakumien, so here's my report! I arrived at the newly renovated Hyakumien a little after 7:30 p.m., and there were zero other customers! It looked like I could eat at a leisurely pace, so I quickly went in! When I entered, a friendly Chinese proprietress greeted me! I got permission to take photos inside and sat at a table of my choice! Looking at the set meal menu, I was surprised! Same prices as before the renovation—cheap! Thinking these prices put them firmly in the cheap category, I ordered my favorite, the large Chinjao Rosu set meal, from the proprietress with her dazzling smile! Hyakumien's interior has a two-level layout with table seating in front and in back, and there's parking in front of the shop, but the street out front is Machida Kaido, so please check your surroundings for safety when parking! While I waited and took photos inside, I could hear a man speaking Chinese from the kitchen! It seems Hyakumien is run by a Chinese couple, so the food looks promising too! By the time I finished taking photos, the large Chinjao Rosu set meal finally arrived! The Chinjao Rosu has loads of vivid green peppers, and there's as much pork as there are peppers, which makes me happy! The Chinjao Rosu has the richness of pork and the umami of chicken stock, and the flavor makes you want more rice! The peppers are crisp, the heat control is perfect—flawlessly delicious! Not just cheap, but delicious! I can't make a single complaint (lol). Satisfied and happy after a delicious dinner, I cleaned my plate! As expected of a neighborhood Chinese restaurant! A set meal that's both cheap and delicious—nothing more to say! After I finished eating, the proprietress told me that at current prices there's almost no profit margin and they might raise prices a bit! In fact, with recent inflation, things needed for cooking like oil and flour have gone up! At current prices, absorbing the increases is the best they can do, and they apparently aren't making a profit! I always wrote my reviews as if cheapness were the main appeal, but hearing the proprietress's story, it felt like the scales fell from my eyes! Don't talk about the forest by looking at one tree! Behind restaurants that serve cheap food, there have been touching efforts and constant hard work to fulfill their mission! Thank you so much! But, proprietress! Everyone will understand a small price increase! After all, customers come to this shop for the proprietress, who's as bright and warm as the sun! And we Japanese have our particular spirit of “helping each other,” so please rest assured! Neighborhood Chinese food I've always eaten as a given! I'll close this time feeling ashamed of my ignorance in assuming cheap and delicious was a given! And so, wishing Hyakumien prosperity, and with heartfelt gratitude to all restaurants, thank you for the meal! And thank you!

2025.09.23 Near Kiya-san's house there's a hardcore Chinese restaurant that looks like a neighborhood Chinese place, but because it's close and I can go anytime, I'd been staying away. I realized I hadn't been to this place in about 5 years either, so I charged in for the first time in a while. This time my son had the mapo tofu set meal (850 yen incl. tax) with extra Sichuan pepper. Kiya-san decided to try the Sichuan pepper and chili oil dandan noodles (950 yen incl. tax) for the first time. The Sichuan pepper and chili oil dandan noodles use medium-thick straight noodles. They bear the names Sichuan pepper and chili oil, but the most attractive thing is the aroma of sesame. Even before landing on the table, the Sichuan pepper and chili oil dandan noodles arrived trailing the scent of sesame. With Sichuan pepper and chili oil in it, it's “reasonably spicy,” but my impression is that the gentle sweetness and toastiness from the sesame dominate. The meat miso and leafy greens are somewhat understated, but once the sesame stands out more than the stars, Sichuan pepper and chili oil, it's already “the meat miso and greens are just decorations, the higher-ups don't (rest omitted)”. What pairs well with that sesame soup is the noodles. They're also a bit overshadowed by the sesame soup, but that works—they did a good job of not getting in the soup's way while scooping it up. If a large size were available, maybe I should've gotten one... Hyakumien's layout is 4-seat tables ✕4 and 2-seat tables ✕2. Cooking seems to basically be a one-person operation making one dish at a time, so the drawback is that when it's crowded it takes a while from ordering to serving, but it's lively with lots of loyal regulars, mainly from the neighborhood. There's parking for 3 cars in front, but because of where the guardrail is, sometimes only 2 can probably park. They even have lamb dishes; Hyakumien is more hardcore Chinese than it looks. I'd like to try it for evening drinks before long...(⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠) 2020.10.16 Today was a meeting day so I couldn't go far—a work-from-home lunch nearby. At lunchtime, 5 customers who were total strangers all ordered the hoikoro set meal at once and laughed at each other...(^_^;) 2020.07.16 Hoikoro in the neighborhood once in a while...(*´ω｀*) 2019.06.09 A Sunday when my son heads out before noon for a basketball game. Today's lunch was supposed to be early, but Kiya-san ended up sound asleep before noon. So I missed my chance and couldn't get lunch. With no other option, a solo large fried rice nearby. At first the fried rice had a dismal filling of meatless mixed vegetables, but it's improved since, with green onion, Jinhua ham, and dry, fluffy rice, just how I like it... This place charges for rice refills, but apparently has no concept of “large size,” and this came to 628 yen (incl. tax). It's a great deal, but I'm a little worried whether they're OK business-wise...(￣▽￣;) 2019.03.10 My wife went to an event in Tennozu and my son had club activities, leaving Kiya-san all alone. I'd recently gotten word from my high school junior, the owner's daughter, that “we've improved the fried rice,” so today I went to the neighborhood Chinese restaurant for lunch, doubling as on-site coaching. When they first opened, the fried rice was served with refrigerated mixed vegetables as the filling. To Japanese people that's “what the heck!?”, but apparently to Chinese people fried rice is “just like that.” This time they changed the ingredients to green onion, egg, and homemade chashu. But it still doesn't come with soup, which is standard in Japan... Fried rice alone felt lonely, so I took the chance to also order the tomato and egg soup. The tomato soup was lightly seasoned, which made it easy to enjoy for Kiya-san, who doesn't like sourness. The fried rice also had light homemade chashu and loose, separate grains of rice. It was relatively lightly salted and done just to Kiya-san's liking, which was a relief. Next time I see my junior, maybe I'll suggest adding a “fried rice set meal”...( *・ω・)ノ 2019.01.17 A Chinese restaurant opened in the row of buildings by our house. It seems to have been opened by Chinese people. All of January is a pre-opening period with a 500-yen one-coin lunch (tax not included), so my son and I came to do some reconnaissance in force. We both ordered the mapo tofu set meal, but Kiya-san with extra spice. Apparently Kiya-san was the first customer to ask for extra-extra spicy, and they said they worked hard to make it spicy. But Kiya-san, trained at Misen, has no weak spots. This is it! This is the heat I wanted...(*´ω｀*) The daughter apparently comes to help only on weekends, so I asked her all sorts of things. The family is apparently from Beijing. The surprising part was all the connections: the daughter was my junior in high school, and she used to work in our company's old head office building long ago. What a small world! At night they seem to have an interesting skewer menu too, so I'd like to come back before long...( *・ω・)ノ

First visit on 2023.4.3 (Mon) at 8 p.m. I came after seeing posts on Google. The interior is simple but clean, with 4 four-seat tables and 2 two-seat tables, run by Chinese people. There were 2 groups of 2 before me, and no one after. I ordered the hoikoro set meal for 970 yen, large size free. The hoikoro that arrived was a pretty generous portion. It came with salted cabbage in a small bowl, a thickened egg soup, and almond tofu. The sauce is sweet, but there's also a good amount of chili oil, so it's fairly spicy. Personally, I like the seasoning. You'll get full at a reasonable price.
