Spaghetti Dandy | Tabelog

●This spaghetti restaurant is located in a corner of Ramen Street, west of City Hall Street. There are four sizes, from "small" at 350 grams to "dandy" at 1,300 grams. As a light eater, even the "medium" size is quite filling. On days when I have chicken cutlet on top, it's not enough for dinner. Not only are the sizes varied, but the menu is also Toyotomi in variety, with meat sauce, teppan napolitan, green shiso, cod roe cream, and more. For some reason, the restaurant also offers a takeaway popcorn service. I recommend this place to those who want a hearty meal rather than a stylish pasta meal. (Male, 60s, office worker)

The dandy size is 1.3 kg of pasta, and it's popular among office workers! For some reason, you can get a free popcorn. (30s/Male/Office Worker)

Orian | Tabelog

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 while panting. The pork cutlet is freshly fried and the curry tastes like it came from a restaurant. (Female, 50s, 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 it 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 put it in a pouch and take it home. After learning this amount, 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 stuffed with a huge hamburger, and the amount of spaghetti, salad, rice, and miso soup was so large it was hard to believe they were all side dishes. The fried chicken ordered next to me was also quite filling. (40s/female/office worker)

●This restaurant is located in the Hokancho shopping district. The set meals are very filling. However, I often end up ordering a set meal because I want to try a variety of flavors, and then I end up feeling full towards the end, and I always think, "Oh, the portions were too big." But it's delicious. My favorite is the chicken red curry with bamboo shoots. They also have fried dumplings! (40s/Female/Other)

Aji no Yayoi | Tabelog

●A famous restaurant that ranks alongside "Miyuki" and "Ozono" as one of the three biggest jumbo okonomiyaki in Okayama City. The regular size, 30cm in diameter, cooked by a lively guy is very filling. As a small eater, I always order the "small" size. (Male, 60s, office worker)

●Chicken cutlet! A chicken cutlet the size of a sandal is piled high on a plate, covered in plenty of demi-glace. When I was a student, I would eat my fill after club games. (40s/Male/Other)

● Speaking of large portions, the Daisen chicken thigh cutlet at Tsuyama 's cafe restaurant "Mugiwaraboshi" is a must-try. The chicken cutlet is a whopping 250g, so big it almost spills off the plate! It looks like a huge portion, but the demi-glace sauce on top is light and the accompanying vegetables are plentiful. 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 menu items other than the chicken cutlet, such as the hamburger steak and omelet rice, are also large. (50s/Female/Other)

Horaiken | Tabelog

Address: 2-3-51 Okayama Prefecture, 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)

[San San China] San San China | Tabelog

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

●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. (Male, 40s, office worker)

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

The daily set meal is either Kake Udon or soup udon , with a tempura platter and cooked rice, or Tendon or Katsudon! The udon noodles are thick, and it comes with a generous amount of tempura and cooked rice, so it's very satisfying. (40s/Female/Other)

●A large portion of shaved ice is available only in the summer at a teahouse in Okayama Korakuen Garden. It's served in a Bizen Pottery ware bowl. It's quite voluminous, so it's perfect for sharing with your boyfriend or girlfriend, or paired with hot roasted green tea. (30s/Male/Office Worker)

[Petit Chat] Petit Chat | Tabelog

Address: 3234-1 Nitta , Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture

I've been going there since it was in a building in front of Kurashiki Station. The spaghetti, pilaf, and rice bowls have always been served in large portions, which I remember fondly 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 left hanging open! It's too dangerous to order a large portion! But it might be the best value for money! (Male, 50s, office worker)
