I had the gomoku yakisoba. It's loaded with toppings like chashu and kamaboko, but it was a bit of a shame that the noodles had gone soggy. It's what you'd call a "machi-chuka" (neighborhood Chinese diner), with regulars drinking beer from midday.

I had the eggplant soba (750 yen). Generous portion and delicious. The gyoza here are good too.

It feels less like a Chinese restaurant and more like a neighborhood diner focused on ramen. I thought "old-time ramen shop" fits the image better. Inside there are 7 counter seats and three 4-person tables. Prices are slightly on the cheap side, easy to order. It seems one older man runs it alone. The eggplant soba was mentioned in reviews, so I ordered it along with gyoza.

First of all, the head chef, the previous owner, and the proprietress are all extremely kind! The all-important taste is gentle too, not oily, and I love it. I think that's why elderly regulars from the neighborhood come so often. With remote work dragging on, I sometimes come for lunch. And when I want to eat a ridiculous amount of Chinese food. Wolfing down gomoku soba, fried rice, and full-size gyoza is seriously the best. I get insanely full, but it's not heavy.

I love shops with this kind of atmosphere. The taste was ordinary, but it was cheap.. The fried rice had a mushy texture like sticky rice; I hope that was just a fluke··· I'd like to go again.
