Spaghetti Dandy | Tabelog

●A spaghetti restaurant located in a corner of the so-called Ramen Street heading west from City Hall-suji. There are four sizes, from "small" at 350g to "dandy" at 1300g. For a small eater like me, even the "medium" size is quite filling. On days when I order chicken cutlet on top, it's not enough for dinner. Not only the size, but the menu is also rich in variety, with meat sauce, teppan napolitan, green shiso, cod roe cream and more. For some reason, the store also offers a takeaway service for the popcorn provided. I recommend this for people who want a hearty meal rather than a stylish pasta dish. (Male, 60s, office worker)

●The dandy size is 1.3 kg of pasta, and is popular among office workers! For some reason, you can get a free popcorn. (30s/male/office worker)

●The pork cutlet curry is light enough for two people. The price is reasonable. My husband, who is a big eater, ordered it and finished it all while panting. The pork cutlet is freshly fried and the curry tastes like it came from a restaurant. (50s/female/office worker)

●Be careful when ordering katsu curry. The menu doesn't say it's a large portion and it costs 1,500 yen, so if you order normally, you'll be surprised when the food comes out. It weighs 1kg in total, so only big eaters could finish it. If you can't finish it, you can take it home in a pouch. After learning about the portion size, I started asking for less rice when ordering (lol). (40s/female/office worker)

Son B Food | Tabelog

●I went there because I wanted to eat hamburgers. I was full after eating the voluminous hamburger, the amount of spaghetti that was more than I could imagine was a side dish, the salad, rice, and miso soup. The fried chicken ordered next to me was also quite filling. (40s/female/office worker)

●This restaurant is located in the Hokancho shopping arcade. The set meals are very filling. However, I want to try a variety of flavors, so I end up ordering a set meal, and then I get hungry later on and always think, "Ah, the portions were too big." But it's delicious. My favorite is the chicken red curry with bamboo shoots. The fried dumplings are great too! (40s/Female/Other)

Aji no Yayoi | Tabelog

●Alongside "Miyuki" and "Ozono", this famous restaurant is one of the three biggest jumbo okonomiyaki restaurants in Okayama City. The regular size, 30cm in diameter, cooked by a lively guy, is very filling. I'm a small eater, so I always order the "small" size. (Male, 60s, office worker)

●Chicken cutlet! A plate of chicken cutlets the size of sandals, topped with plenty of demi-glace. When I was a student, I would eat as much as I wanted after club games. (40s/Male/Other)

●Speaking of large portions, the Oyama chicken thigh cutlet at Tsuyama's cafe restaurant "Mugiwaraboshi" is a whopping 250g of chicken cutlet that looks like it might spill off the plate! It looks like a huge portion, but the demi-glace sauce on top is light and there are plenty of accompanying vegetables. The meat is so tender you can cut it with chopsticks, and the crispy batter makes it surprisingly easy to eat. By the way, the hamburger steak and omelet rice dishes other than the chicken cutlet are also large. (50s/Female/Other)

Address: 2-3-51 Omotemachi, Kita Kita Ward , Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture

●If you want to eat a variety of dishes by yourself, I recommend the Chinese set meal. It comes with chicken tempura, mixed vegetables, roast pork, cabbage, rice, soup, and pickles. It's a popular restaurant and the interior is quite small, so I recommend avoiding peak times. (40s/female/office worker)

●The specialty menu item, fried chicken, is brought out piled high. It's so big that the person I went with was speechless for a moment. I was worried whether I'd be able to finish it all, but it was a breeze. It's so delicious that you won't have enough rice. The chicken nanban, which changes weekly, is so big it doesn't fit on the plate, and the ginger pork is surprisingly thick. (30s/female/office worker)

Address: 5-6-39 Hirai, Okayama City, Naka Ward

●Fried rice with fried chicken and fried rice with shrimp and mayonnaise. The regular set meals are also quite filling, so I got a takeaway pack to take home with me. (40s/male/office worker)

[Handmade Udon Toyoka] Handmade Udon Toyoka | Official Instagram

Address: 2-3-5 Uchiyamashita, Kita- Uchisange , Okayama City , Kita Ward

●The daily set meal is udon noodles with sauce or soup udon, assorted tempura and seasoned rice or tendon or katsudon! The udon noodles are thick and come with a generous amount of tempura and seasoned rice, so it's very satisfying. (40s/Female/Other)

●A large serving of shaved ice only available in the summer at a teahouse in Okayama Korakuen Garden. It is served in a Bizen Pottery bowl. It is so voluminous that it is recommended to eat it with your boyfriend or girlfriend, or with hot roasted green tea. (30s/male/office worker)

●I've been going there since it was in a building in front of Kurashiki Station. The spaghetti, pilaf, and rice bowls were all served in large portions even back then, and I remember them being great memories as a student. The thickened rice bowl "Puchidon" is not small in size. (50s/Female/Other)

●Fried chicken set meal. It had about 20 pieces of fried chicken. I couldn't finish it so I took it home, but it was still delicious even when it was cold! (40s/female/office worker)

●Even the regular portion of fried rice is a large serving. The moment it comes out, my mouth is wide open! It's too dangerous to order a large portion! But it might be the best value for money! (50s/male/office worker)
