Korai

If you want both noodles and rice at lunch, Korai’s Cantonese noodles with half a portion of fried rice is one option. The listed price is 800 yen, and the set pairs noodles with a smaller serving of fried rice. One diner who ordered it wrote that the Cantonese noodles came in a generous portion and might have been filling even on their own. With the fried rice alongside, it is an easy choice when you want a substantial meal or think noodles alone may not be enough.

Set meals include stir-fried pork with kimchi for 730 yen, mapo tofu for 680 yen and liver with garlic chives for 780 yen. Each comes with rice, soup, pickles and almond tofu, and the menu says rice can be refilled up to 1 times. Choosing a main dish and getting a complete meal in one order is straightforward. Other options include pork with wood ear mushrooms and egg, shrimp chilli, and eight-treasure stir-fry set meals, offering a different kind of lunch from the noodle-and-fried-rice combination. A daily set meal is also available at lunchtime, so the choices can vary with the day.

For a simpler meal, mapo rice is listed at 600 yen and comes with soup. There are also Chinese-style rice bowls and a rice bowl with shrimp and egg in chilli sauce—options for when you want something less elaborate than a set meal or combo.
