This is a Western restaurant in a log house. There is a large parking lot on the west side of the store with 5 parking spaces across the rice field. It fills up quickly, so write your name at the entrance and wait. There are seats on the first and second floors. 2nd floor seating: 1 table for 8 people, 2 people There were 2 seats at the table and 2 people at the counter. I had hamburger steak and fried shrimp. The hamburger was so tender that I thought it would melt right away from the moment I put it in my mouth, and the sauce was so delicious. The fried shrimp is also plump and large and quite delicious. You can choose from large, medium or small rice. This time I tried the pork cutlet. It is very tasty. I liked the hamburger steak.

A Western restaurant that retains the atmosphere of the Showa era! The slightly retro atmosphere is also great! I chose the 100% beef American hamburger steak, and it was well-cooked without being tough. The sauce was a little salty, but the taste matched well with the hamburger and was delicious. I think this is a recommended store.

When I passed by the store, the parking lot was always full before noon, so it seemed like it was a very popular store. When I searched on Tabelog, it seems that the hamburgers are delicious. This is my first visit to a store that I was interested in. When I arrived at 12:10, parked my car, and entered the restaurant, the seats were almost full. There was a large table open, so I took up half of it and was seated safely. When I looked at the menu, there were various sets, but I didn't hesitate to order the hamburger set. After about 10 minutes of waiting, the hamburger steak with plenty of demi-glace sauce like the one in the photo arrived. Since it was a hamburger steak, I thought it would be eaten with a fork and knife, but they provided chopsticks, so I wondered why. That's what I thought, but when I tried cutting a hamburger steak with chopsticks, I understood why. I was a little concerned that someone's review said that the hamburger was soft, but this softness is different from the softness of a regular hamburger, and it's the same as a tofu hamburger, which is also quite soft. It's about as soft as it gets. That's why I wrote this as a squishy hamburger, but this is the first time I've had such a soft hamburger. I feel that the reason why most of our customers are elderly is because of this soft hamburger steak. I think opinions will vary widely depending on the person, but I like hamburgers with a firm meaty texture, so this wasn't to my liking. However, the restaurant was so popular that it was full and there were people waiting. It was a feast.

It is a recommended Western restaurant near my parents' house. Wadakin lunch is popular, but I love hamburger steak. The soup that comes with it is also delicious. The parking lot in front of the store is a little narrow and fills up quickly, so I think it's easier to park in a large parking lot near the store.

I came here for the first time in a while because I wanted to eat a hamburger. We arrived as soon as it opened, and the place quickly filled up. The hamburger steak is still delicious and juicy, and the wadakin lunch is satisfying and filling.

It's an old-fashioned Western restaurant where you can feel that the work is done with great care.I went there for lunch and it was so popular that I arrived at 11:30 on a Thursday and was barely able to make my first turn. Of course, by the time we left the store, the front row space was full. I was surprised to see that many of the customers were local elderly people, but after eating it, I was convinced! It's so refreshing that you can't even imagine from its appearance! The oil is of high quality and the work is done carefully. I was so happy. This time I had a Wadakin lunch with the restaurant's name on it. The highlight is the fried shrimp! It was well worth eating due to its plump texture and excellent friedness. Also, the fried chicken was carefully fried to a crispy texture, so much so that it even felt crispy. Next, I would like to try the restaurant's signature menu, a luxurious lunch of 2,550 yen that comes with two hamburgers and fried shrimp! I thought.

Wadakin-san is a famous restaurant in Gose City, Nara Prefecture. My daughter and I visited for the first time. The store opens at 11 a.m. We arrived at exactly 11 a.m., but there were already people waiting in the parking lot in front of the store. It seems like there was a board to write your name on even before the store opened, and by 11 o'clock the first turn was already full. After waiting for a while, I was guided to the second floor. Ordered a hamburger steak lunch and a hamburger & fried shrimp lunch. The hamburger steak was as advertised, fluffy and very drinkable. The sauce was also excellent! The fried shrimp is also crispy and the batter isn't too thick, so it's easy to eat and delicious! The fruits were delicious too. It was a great satisfaction.

I stopped by because there was a store nearby due to work and it was relatively popular. The stylish storefront of the log house looks great! Although it was before noon on a weekday, there was a wait for one group, but we were shown around in about 10 minutes. Order the popular "Wadakin Lunch, Rice Medium Size" and your lunch will be ready in about 10 to 15 minutes! It was delicious with a lineup of bone-in chicken, fried shrimp, fried chicken (chicken thigh) salad, and watermelon. It was nice that it included a drink. Parking is available in front of the store and along the road a little further away.
