炒飯 花 — Restaurant in Takayama

The Food When you are in Japan, Chinese food is usually not the first choice that comes to mind. But my friends and I found a particular restaurant close by call Chahan Hana. It was highly rated so we decided to give it a try. We ordered a few dishes. pepper fried rice mabodoufu fried egg plant with Chinese chili sauce fried chicken The pepper fried rice was good, it actually went well with the maboduofu. The fried egg plant with Chinese chili sauce was not bad, a bit too much sauce. The highlight was actually the fried chicken. It was light battered but still have a good crispiness to it. They also gave us complimentary vegetable soup, though the soup was a bit too salty. It was interesting to see that the standard portion size was smaller. But since is Japan I guess it makes sense. All in all, the food was good, though I would not say is as hyped up as some of the other reviews.

The Miscellaneous The restaurant is in a typical corner location with some interesting decor. You might not pay too much attention to it or know is highly rated till you look it up. The inside is not super big, but has some compelling decor (photos of all customers visited?) The service and staff were good as you might expect from Japan. Though the wait time for our food was fairly long for a few dishes. Their menu has a good variety of items, but is not so big that is overwhelming. Prices are also not too bad, and with a little extra, you can also get an upsize. It is worth checking out the restaurant if you happen to be...

Having a good experience in the restaurant. The restaurant is not very big, yet they put very few seats in it, which makes me feel cozy. Also, instead of keep packing ppl in the restaurant, they tend to keep limited customers in order to serve better. The food are great, they all cooked right after my ordering, so it is fresh and hot. I like the noodles as it is similar to the Hong Kong style “fried noodles”, crispy noodles with seafood and vegetables toppings. I believe it will surprise many foreigners if they never try before.

I can really feel the empathy delivered by the owners (I think the 2 staffs are the owners?). The first time is they offer me to order a half set of fried chicken, it will be too much for one person to have 6 pcs ...The second time is when they delivered the fried chicken, they have given me 4 pcs. They explained it is an “apology” of making me wait too long time... I was surprised and feel grateful that they treat the customer in such manner.

Last but not least, it is quite interesting that they will take a photo for their customers after the meal, and some of them are sticked on the wall. You can see many smiley faces.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to u. The food and the...

Went here after seeing the bountiful great reviews of this restaurant ran by a wholesome family of 3. Food was good and fresh. While some may say the food came out slow, I do appreciate them notifying us beforehand via a sign that explains the slight delay. Nevertheless we spent less than an hour to eat here and we ordered 5 dishes in total, given that 3 people run the whole place the cooking time is understandable and the taste makes it all worthwhile. We struggled abit to consume the delicious fried chicken with a pair of chopsticks and a spoon, the staff quickly noticed this and promptly provided a fork and knife for easier eating without us saying a word. All in all a good dining experience that like many say is cozy and warm. We even got sweets and an oragami box as a gift :). A place well deserved of the positive reviews and also had a wide collage of diners of all sorts of backgrounds paste along the interior of the restaurant. I am quite happy to be part of the sea of smiles within this building. Would definitely dine here again if I ever get a...
