Japanese Fast food.

A place that draws you in for an impromptu stop on your way home after drinking. I went in around 0 on a weekday, and both the counter and tables were almost full. The menu is extensive, so you can order all sorts of things depending on your mood. This time we ordered 麻婆豆腐 and a ramen, fried rice, and gyoza set to share. Since many customers come after drinking, the flavors may be on the stronger side. The gyoza has a good garlic kick and is delicious. Some days it's a bit too salty, though.. The 麻婆豆腐 had a Sichuan-style flavor, with richness, and was delicious. What you need to watch out for is the alcohol. I ordered 緑茶ハイ, and it was really strong. It actually woke me up. Haha. Maybe that's good for preventing excessive drinking. It's open late (probably until around 3?), so I'd recommend it when you're struggling to find somewhere. It was delicious. Thank you.

If you're unsure where to have lunch near 中野駅, this is the place! I had the 「ピリ辛うま煮麺＋半チャーハン＋餃子3個」 set, and it was surprisingly good value and thoroughly satisfying. ピリ辛うま煮麺: A thick sauce packed with ingredients, with plenty of meat and vegetables. The spiciness is just right—you can't stop eating. チャーハン: Perfectly separate grains, exactly what fried rice should be! 餃子: Packed full of meat, with a satisfaction level far beyond a side dish. The portions are generous, but the flavors are well balanced, so I polished everything off. The staff move briskly and efficiently, which feels great, and it's a lively, lovely restaurant. When I want a substantial meal in 中野, this place will definitely be on the list!

It might be a branch licensed to use the 寿楽 name. The familiar logo is all over the menu and bills, and they even had a 「寿楽セット」, haha. I thought I'd visited every 寿楽 in Tokyo, but there are hidden 寿楽 places like this too. I'll leave the menu here.
