What should I order at Popular Restaurant Shimada?

The most frequently recommended dish, praised for its large portions, nostalgic Showa-era style, and delicious balance of thin egg wrapping and richly flavored ketchup rice with ingredients like pork, bacon, onion, and green pepper. Visitors often highlight the satisfying volume, reasonable pricing, and the unique use of pork instead of chicken in the rice, making it distinctive and flavorful. Many reviewers emphasize that even the medium size is filling, with special large sizes available for sharing. The dish evokes a comforting, classic taste that appeals both to locals and tourists.

Highly recommended as a complement to the omelette rice, this fried chicken is noted for its crispy, crunchy exterior and juicy interior. The pieces are large, sometimes described as 'fist-sized,' with a slightly sweet coating on the batter. It is flavorful enough to be eaten alone but pairs excellently with the rice dishes. Reviewers appreciate that it remains crispy even when cooled and recommend ordering it with rice to balance the strong taste.

Mentioned positively by multiple reviewers for its large portion size and homestyle taste reminiscent of homemade fried rice rather than traditional Chinese-style. It is described as tasty and satisfying, making it a good alternative to the omelette rice.

Though less frequently mentioned, curry is noted for its generous portion and ability to satisfy hunger. It is recommended as a hearty option alongside the popular rice dishes.
