Sandoru- The well priced meal that fills







This is the local restaurant that I go to often in my Hirakata-shi neighborhood. The restaurant`s name is Sandoru and it is a great place to eat for a very good price. The meals are mostly 500 yen, which is about 5 American Dollars. The size of the meals here are bigger than most of the restaurants I have been to in Japan for the cheap price. The type of meals here are teishoku, which is set meals. Sandoru is not a very big place but you are always able to find a seat. It is mostly visited by the students from Kansai Gaidai University, but there are often others that visit there. From what I have noticed it is always the same two people working there, which is a nice lady and her husband. The lady is the one that takes the orders and the husband cooks. The service here is pretty good. I think the average time for people to enter, eat and be on their way is about 20-30 minutes. Sandoru shares a building with apartment so it is not always possible to park your bike in the covered bike parking area, but you can still park right in front or across the street. Sandoru is not the most healthy place to eat, but it is delicious, close, and cheap. You should try it! From the Kansai Gaidai Seminar Houses 1, 2, and 3 it is up the street until the road T's and you take a right. It is the building right after the Kusuri(Medicine store).

Nice photos that match your description of the restaurant. Still you are closer to a travel guide than an ethnography...

Sounds good (the food I mean)... Do you really want to tell everybody where it is? Maybe you won't be able to get a seat the next time you go...

As a gaidai vet, I can say that this is THE best restaurant in Japan, all things considered. Obaasan is so adorable! =D
