Bunbuku

The first dish to catch the eye at Bunbuku is its jumbo omurice, generously sized just as the name promises. Diners who have ordered it describe chicken fried rice wrapped carefully in egg, with one review noting that even the regular portion is substantial and the jumbo is bigger still. Choose the jumbo when you’re especially hungry, or go for the regular size to try the classic dish; the portions offer an easy way to match your appetite. One diner said they took home what they couldn’t finish, though this may depend on the circumstances, so it’s worth asking when you order if you’re unsure about the size.

There’s plenty to choose from when omurice isn’t what you’re after. The menu includes rice dishes such as fried rice and chicken rice, bowls including katsudon and tendon, as well as udon and nabeyaki udon. It’s the kind of diner where you can pick whatever sounds good that day. One visitor paired meat udon with a half portion of fried rice and enjoyed both. If you can’t settle on just one, a combination of noodles and rice is another option.

Some visitors remember dishes other than the omurice, including tendon, an omelette set meal, chicken rice and fried rice. Among the rice bowls, one diner praised the combination of dashi and cutlet in the katsudon, while the menu lists negitoro-don with miso soup. And for those who fancy a drink with their meal, one visitor mentioned ordering gyoza with beer.

Bunbuku is open for lunch and dinner and closed on Wednesdays. The restaurant is listed as accepting cash only, so it’s best to bring some along.
