Okayama, Japan｜Chukaen Okayama Honten

Excellent food, friendly staff, well worth the visit.

Good value for money, and all dishes are delicious. This popular store has customers lining up even before it opens. The spicy noodles were especially delicious. The noodles seem to be from Fuji Menzu Kobo. You can also order more spicy items at an additional charge. There are so many dishes that you may not be able to finish all of them. For 50 yen, you can get a pack and bag to take home, so you don't have to worry about ordering too much.

I visited from Hiroshima for sightseeing after watching a certain YouTube channel. Expectations were high, with lines starting to form little by little before the store opened on Sunday. I was shown around right away, but the young male staff member who guided me around had a sloppy way of walking that didn't seem like he was in the customer service industry, and I thought, ``Maybe this store has failed...'' ' I felt a little worried. Also, the lighting was dimmed, giving the whole store a gloomy atmosphere. However, other customer service was good and the food was served quickly. This time I received the shrimp chili stone grilled rice set. This took a little while to serve, but it was insanely delicious. According to other people's comments, the shrimp are not tasty. Some people say that, but I was very satisfied with the plumpness. It was the most delicious shrimp chili I have ever eaten. Thank you, Chinese Garden.
