[June 2020] I headed to Yonakasoba with two colleagues. The parking lot for the restaurant was quite small, with space for only two cars, so be careful. The interior of the restaurant was small and simple. We ordered three Fried Rice with Chashu Pork and Egg (780 yen). As we had discussed before leaving the office, there were three of us, so we each ordered three items: a regular, medium, and large portion. With a health checkup coming up, my role was to order the medium portion. Not surprisingly, the price was the same regardless of size. To make it, transfer the cubes of chashu pork topping and fluffy egg omelet to a single serving donburi, then place a normal amount of fried rice on top and squish it into the donburi at the end. Turn it upside down and serve it on a platter to complete the regular serving. For the large and medium portions, only the large portion of fried rice was placed on the plate first, and then the regular portion in the donburi was placed on top. I did not notice it, but my colleague told me that the amount of fried pork and omelette added at the beginning was the same for each size, and the only difference was the amount of fried rice. Well, to put it bluntly, except for the cost of rice and labor, the cost is about the same. That is why the price of a large serving is the same. When I checked the quantity before eating, it seemed that the medium and large portions were quite close, while the regular and medium portions were very different in appearance. After our dished were brought to us, and we took pictures, we just kept eating. We had to eat it all at once to finish it. There was no room for conversation. It was like eating a whole cake in one gulp. The seasoning of the fried rice was not particularly distinctive and was rather light. The toppings were also moderately seasoned, and it seemed difficult to accentuate the toppings. On the other hand, the fried rice was moist and easy to choke down. If it had been dry, I would have choked and gulped down water. It would have been even more difficult to finish the meal. After halfway through the meal, I could no longer taste the fried rice or the toppings. But I couldn't leave it behind, so I solemnly continued eating. Just as I was about 1/3 of the way through my meal, my colleague who was eating a regular serving finished it. I looked at the plate of another colleague who was eating a large portion and saw that he had only as much left as I did! I was forced to pick up the pace even more, as I could not allow myself to be overtaken. It was more like running the last spurt in an 800-meter race than a marathon. I swallowed more than I ate. In the end, I finished the meal like an avalanche with the colleague. I guess I was a little faster than him... Satisfied not only with the food but also with the event. After the meal, I felt even closer to my colleagues.

凄いボリュームです！味も美味しい！欲張って中盛にしたから食べきるのが大変だった。持ち帰り容器も販売してます。チキン南蛮卵たっぷりでウマい！友人は海老のせチャーシュー卵炒飯、自分はチャーシュー卵ガーリック黒炒飯を注文。ニンニクが丸ごとゴロゴロ入っていてかなりいろんな意味でパンチがありました!ご馳走様でした。
藤沢市用田にある「ラーメン処 よなかそば」は、ただのラーメン屋と侮るなかれ！ 地元民や遠方から訪れるファンが絶えず、常に行列ができるデカ盛りの聖地です。 ここの名物は、ラーメンを凌ぐ人気の「チャーシュー玉子炒飯」。お椀をそっと持ち上げると、とろっとろの玉子と、ホロホロに煮込まれた角切りチャーシューが、炒飯の山からなだれ落ちる様はまさに「玉手箱」！その見た目のインパクトと、見た目を裏切らない絶妙な味わいに、誰もが虜になること間違いなし。並・中・大とサイズが選べ、驚きのコストパフォーマンスを誇ります。 もちろん、鶏ガラと昆布の優しいスープが特徴のラーメン類も絶品。 気さくな店主ご夫妻の温かい人柄も魅力の一つで、行列の待ち時間さえも心地よく感じさせてくれます。 お腹も心も満たされる、わざわざ訪れる価値のある名店ですよ！
オモウマイで特集されてて気になり行ってみました。 チャーハンがオススメです 見た目の味も良かったです。 ただお昼時に行くとめちゃくちゃ並ぶので時間に余裕がないと行けないです。 その日の日替わりのセットメニューとザンギを頼みましたが頼み過ぎに注意です！ 結構な量があるので気をつけてください。 一応お持ち帰り用の容器も販売してるので利用した方がいいです
