The first few times when I visited this place and tried the meat and fish lunches, I thought they were not bad(though I suspect frozen meat/fish is used), generous in portion and cheap, so I decided to blog about this place, but after half a year of eating lunch there about 2-3 times a month, I have to say I’m really bored of the menu. Lunch soup was minestrone the first time I visited and then it changed to onion gratin soup and for SIX MONTHS, it remained the only lunch soup. There are three pasta options and they change about once a week but the pasta is mediocre in this place and I order the pasta only because I don’t want to order the same meat or fish lunch that I already had before(and I’m lazy to find another place to have lunch). Seriously the last time they changed the meat and fish menu was TWO MONTHS ago. ^^;;

A nice wagyu place that offers pretty good quality beef at a reasonable price, and depending on your choice, you can get really really stuffed.

ラウンドステーキ(黒毛和牛もも肉)ランチ、￥１５００。すきやき重、￥１２００。
Round steak lunch, Y1500. Runs out really quickly at lunch time(before noon!). Very very delicious the first time I had it, but a bit dry the second time(pic here).
Sukiyaki-ju, Y1200. It’s free at lunch time to “supersize” the meat, which I did the second time(pic here) but eventually regretted because I couldn’t finish it. Luckily I always carry a doggy bag ~~but I think you’re not supposed to take away the leftover XD~~.

焼肉重、￥１２００。ステーキ重、￥１２００。
Yakiniku-ju, Y1200. Had this one twice also(see pic).
Steak-ju, Y1200.
The beef for Steak-ju and Yakiniku-ju are the same(both are thigh meat), but the sauce and the side vegetables are different - salty sauce and namul for yakiniku-ju, sweet sauce and salad and fries for steak-ju. I like these two rice boxes, but after having it for 3 times, I’m convinced that they mix in a few slices of drier meat with the fresh and juicy ones to bring up the portion. Still good value though.

やわらかひとくちステーキランチ、￥１５００。和風ハンバーグランチ、￥１２００。
Soft bite-size Steak lunch, Y1500. Not as “soft” as I expected.
Japanese style hamburger lunch, Y1200. Good! Another popular item.

銘柄和牛切落とし、￥２０００。サーロイン鉄板焼き、￥２５００。
Wagyu Kiriotoshi, Y2000.
Sirloin Teppanyaki, Y2500.
The two more expensive special lunches. The meat is of course better quality(Sirloin is especially juicy) but it comes in a hotpan so it gets a bit overcooked towards the end. The second time round, I moved all the meat to my rice bowl to keep warm and just used the hotpan for the beansprouts. ^^;;

ビビンバ御膳、￥１０００。
Bibimbap, Y1000. The only menu that I don’t recommended. Ice-cream only for the ladies on Mondays.

Lunch is only available during weekdays.

Menu: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

うな重（２匹付）（イ）、２６２０円。
A famous place for Unaju - eel on rice in a box. The difference in price is just the difference in size of the unagi. I had the cheapest(2620yen!) and it was pretty big already. The madam said unadon(eel on rice in a bowl) uses fatter unagi, but she recommended Unaju so we all had it. It is very good. Huge portion. Want to try the Unadon next time!
(Whole set looks like this.)

(Nov 03 2009)
大串うな丼、￥２７００。
More than 2 years later, I went back to try the Unadon(Y2700). It was very good but I had no idea if it was in fact fattier than the Unaju I had 2 years ago….

Menu here.

Another lunch spot that I’ve been obsessively visiting. A Belgium restaurant apparently but the lunch menu isn’t that Belgium. Daily lunch(Mon-Sat) has 2 pasta options, 1 fish option and 1 meat option, all of which Y1260 including bread, salad and coffee. Usually they are all good - there really isn’t much varieties in their lunch menu but they make a simple dish very tasty. The fish option can be a bit small in portion. I don’t like the bread served here and always wish that they would serve rice instead. The best option is the pasta which is yummy and generous in ingredients and comes in a big plate.

As I said before I tend to stay away from chain/franchise food joints so I never tried this Japanese style cafe even though I walked past its branch in Ochanomizu many times. But one day I gave its parfait a try and…..I loved it!! ^^;;; I’ve been going back again and again in the past few months and tried many items from the sweet/food/drink menu; “Black sesame seed gateau chocolat parfait” and “Kakuni and hotspring-egg donburi”(the two pics above) are my favourite sweet and food item respectively. For the rest, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

I love the weekday lunches offered by this Japanese restaurant near Jimbocho. There are 3 options in the lunch menu: donburi (Y1000), teishoku(Y1200), bento(Y1500). The menu changes every week and I’m always amazed by how creative the menu for the donburi and the teishoku sound. Sometimes I visit this restaurant twice in a week because both the donburi and the teishoku sound so tempting but I’m too embarassed to order both at the same time.

All lunches come with salad, miso soup, pickled vegetables, and dessert. For the teishoku, you get a main dish, plus a small piece of grilled fish, which you can choose from the list of fish available on that day. In general, I like donburi more than teishoku. I only ordered the bento once and while it was not bad, it wasn’t interesting enough to make me order it again.

Among all my visits, obviously there were times when the food wasn’t so fantastic, but for a ~1000yen lunch, I think this place is just great.
