Today, our second restaurant was Aroman Garden.
Lunch is something I occasionally attend, but this might be the first time I've used the restaurant at night.
This is the third restaurant I visited. I ordered light dim sum, and drank about three drinks.
This is a continental Chinese restaurant. The taste is quite average.
I'm here for lunch, but the impression is the same as when I reviewed it before.
This place also usually has empty seats, so it’s a very convenient restaurant.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Today's lunch was at Armon Garden.
It’s been over 1 year and 10 months… quite a long time.
Usually, I prefer a set meal with noodles. But on this day, I chose the beef cut into cubes, stir-fried with black pepper, from the fixed menu option.

“サイコロ切り”という名前で呼ばれていますが、実際にはサイコロほど小さくはありません。普通の角煮くらいの大きさの牛肉がたくさん入っており、非常にコスパの良いメニューです。
The rice is also easy to eat, so maybe this menu will be my target in the future.
Thank you for your hospitality.
On this day, I had work in Shin-Yokohama.
Since we’re going as a group from the company, in terms of ease of entry, Chinese food is quite convenient.
Translated to English:
We chose "Fangongyuan-san".
“Quite some time has passed,” I thought to myself. “It’s been 11 months!”
Have you been here for that long?
The order was a set consisting of pork butt noodles and half-chahan.
The pork cutlet noodles are satisfactory. The half-chahan is, as usual, slightly bland.
Well, but it seems to be a reliable and trustworthy flavor.
Thank you for your hospitality.
On this day, we had lunch during the intervals between meetings at the company.
When you don’t have time, go to the nearby Armon Garden.
Even during lunch, smoking is allowed, so that might be a negative point. But if you don’t like it, just don’t go there. So, I think it won’t drop below a ☆3.0 rating.
I ate a set consisting of ramen and half-chahan, which this time was Taiwanese-style ramen.
This ramen with minced meat is definitely Taiwanese-style, isn't it?
I don't understand exactly what makes this restaurant have a Taiwanese flavor, but it's very easy to eat. I just can't help but finish the soup as well.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Today, it's at the Yoshiho Garden restaurant.
It was only visited in January.
Today again, the lunch menu offers a set consisting of pork butt meat and half-fried rice.
Moist filling and pork butt.
This slightly light-flavored fried rice may not be enough on its own, but it pairs perfectly with the noodles.
Huh? The price is @1,050 yen.
There was also a wave of price increases here.
+100円のアップだね！
It's frustrating.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Today, it’s time to visit Aroman Garden again.
Recently visited a place, but also went there again at the request of a colleague.
On this day, I ordered a set from Sanmaemon.
After over 10 years, we finally have Sannemeng again.
If written in Chinese characters, it would be "生馬麺".
生＝シャキシャキした
馬＝乗り上げる
It seems that they say so, but I personally think it's simply "five-course miso broth soba."
■ サンマーメン+半炒飯セット
Recently, I've found that ramen with soy sauce flavor is becoming more and more delicious. On this day too, the umami flavor of Sanmaimen really stood out!
The ingredients are crunchy too.
The smooth filling has a rich umami flavor.
Surprisingly, the lightly flavored fried rice also suits Sanma-Men perfectly.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Today is at "Hōsōen-san".
When you don't have much time or are hungry, the service speed is fast, the portion size is adequate, and the taste is strong. The only concern then is whether you won't feel sleepy in the afternoon.
The chicken soba comes with skin, so it seems to divide opinions between those who like it and those who don’t. But personally, I would be absolutely happy with the chicken skin included.
この麻婆丼はミニサイズではなく、通常の量で提供されるのが良いです。
This ramen with a salty flavor and the mapo tofu don’t overpower each other in taste, so it maintains a good balance while being eaten.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Today's lunch was at Armon Garden.
On that day, I ordered a set meal including noodles, as well as a set consisting of Taiwanese ramen and half-fried rice.
Taiwan ramen is quite thick, especially when paired with green vegetables.
In contrast, the punch of half-fried rice is weak.
It depends on the combination, but as a side dish for half-fried rice, Taiwanese ramen seems to be too strong.
If we go beyond just the tangy noodles, the half-fried rice becomes more prominent as an oasis-like feature. However, it might be a bit lacking compared to Taiwanese ramen.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Today's lunch was at Armon Garden.
2ヶ月ぶり。
The lunch menu is quite extensive, making it difficult to choose. On a Friday, I ordered shrimp and egg noodles plus half-fried rice, as it was the daily change-of-lunch option on that day.
■ Ebi to Tamago Maki + Hanban Ika
A simple-tasting egg fried rice, topped with fluffy eggs and crispy shrimp in a ramen dish.
The fried rice is even better this time; it includes sliced pork belly, which makes it perfect.
The shrimp has a crispy texture, so it seems to be Banami shrimp.
There were about 6 of them, and the food was definitely worth eating.
Both are "assali × assali" menus.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Today, it's芳香園さん.
The atmosphere here is better, but this restaurant specializes in Beijing ducks, so it has a more refined and quiet ambiance.
The menus are almost identical. However, the "Head Chef's Today's Recommendation Set" that I ordered this time was rejected over there, but it is still available here.
■ 本日の料理長おすすめセット
From the menu images, I could roughly guess that it was a 3-piece lunch menu for other restaurants.
On this day, there were three dishes: beef miso stir-fry, steamed chicken, and mapo tofu.
The rest are egg soup, rice, zaise, and almond tofu.
The plate serving three items has a conical bottom, making it quite deep and suitable for serving a substantial amount of food.
All of them are "meal thieves" as a side dish.
Since the rice is available for free, it's a good idea to have an extra serving.
@950円（税込）は他のメニューに比べて高めですが、色々な料理を食べたくなるので、お腹が空いている時にぴったりです。
Thank you for your hospitality.
Today was lunch at Armon Garden.
Due to the wagon used for selling bento at the store, the entrance seems quite narrow. I thought it was just a place where eels slept, but behind it there’s a banquet hall with about 50 seats. It’s a rather peculiar layout.
The price range is @750 yen, which is a quite affordable pricing strategy.
The lunch menu is also very extensive, so I was confused about what to order. However, I was attracted by the set meal of chicken soba with maeboshi, so I decided to order that.
約5分後に料理が届きました。
The tea is a light flavor, but it's made with jasmine tea, making it very refreshing.
■ Chicken Soba & Mabo Dinner
マーボー丼。
The spiciness is almost non-existent, making it easy to eat.
◯ It's about as spicy as a "Meiya" restaurant.
Chicken soba
A soup that fully showcases the umami of salt.
Mushrooms, the sweetness of the noodles, and the chicken are juicy—quite a delicious meal.
Compared to the noodles, the soup and the chicken were more delicious. The taste of the soup was truly impressive.
In front of Shin-Hangzhou Station, there are few individual restaurants, but the prices and portion sizes are known.
Since this branch seems to specialize in Beijing ducks, we’ll definitely visit there next time.
Thank you for your hospitality.
