What customers say?

“ I visited just after opening time on a weekday lunchtime. The sign is not very noticeable, so be careful on your first visit. The heavy door makes it a little difficult to enter, but once inside, the spacious and reasonably bright interior means it's not a problem. The restaurant is empty right after opening, but it gradually starts to fill up after lunchtime. The seats are spacious, so even larger people can relax comfortably. I ordered the beef stew hamburger. It was made with great care and was juicy with plenty of meat juice inside. I recommend it. I ordered the beef stew hamburger ”

“ I had the Iida Hamburg set for lunch. It was very delicious!! I will definitely go there again. The only negative point was the coffee. It seemed to have a burned bitter flavor. ”

“ I stopped by on my way back from a trip. The name "Kitchen..." gave me the impression of a long-established Western restaurant, so I checked the reviews and decided on this place. The popular leek sauce was delicious. You can dine in a quiet restaurant. I've gotten into the habit of closing my eyes when I eat something delicious (lol). Not only my sight, but my sense of taste and smell...it feels like they're sharpened. "It was delicious," I couldn't help but say out loud at the end. ”

“ Hamburger steak is great. The steak also good. Home sweet home. ”

“ Suddenly, I had a craving for omurice, so I searched for "Omurice in Iida City" and this place came up first, so I dropped by in the afternoon. I'd been interested in this restaurant for a while, but the entrance didn't look like a restaurant, so I was hesitant to enter. However, once inside, my worries were unfounded. The restaurant is fairly spacious, with about four tables and counter seats. I ordered the omurice set for 1,100 yen, which came with soup, salad, and yogurt for dessert. It was a type of omurice made by mixing rice and eggs in a demi-glace sauce (beef stew?). It was delicious. ”

“ We visited for lunch. There was only one other group of four customers. There were various types of hamburgers available, but we ordered the one with green onion sauce. The hamburger was delicious and juicy, and it was quite filling. It took a while for it to come, so it's best to go with plenty of time. ”

“ I visited on a Sunday just after they opened. There were no other customers there. I had the beef stew hamburger, and the seasoning and doneness were excellent. The only thing that bothered me was that there were a lot of dusty items on the counter, which made it seem a little unsanitary. ”

“ This was my first stay in Iida City on a business trip. I was looking forward to eating there, so I did some research and came here. I had the grated daikon hamburger. My prediction was correct: a delicious Western restaurant with a laid-back atmosphere. However, I think the tropical fish in the tank on the counter could be a little cuter or more beautiful. Personally, I like them. But that's not a big deal, and I'll definitely return the next time I'm in Iida City. ”
