While I am very willing to spend money on good food, I also enjoy visiting budget-friendly restaurants that serve up fantastic meals without a hefty price tag.

Recently, I discovered a Japanese restaurant chain, GyuJin, which took "value for money" to a whole new level.
We ordered two set lunches, the GyuJin Lunch Set ($58) and the GyuJin Supreme Lunch Set ($78), which included an appetiser buffet and unlimited Häagen-Dazs ice cream in four flavours.
(1) There was a range of vegetables, noodles, rice, fried rice and Japanese beef curry available at the appetiser buffet. Everything was all right except for the tofu, which was a bit stale.
(2) We chose pork instead of beef for the GyuJin Lunch Set. There were around 8 slices of pork on the plate, which was not a lot, but you would definitely be full from the appetiser buffet and the ice cream if not from the plate of meat. The pork was quite flavourless, but one had to bear in mind that the lunch set only cost $58 + 10%.
(3) The beef for the GyuJin Supreme Lunch Set was rather bland too, but at least the level of freshness was acceptable.
You could pay $10 more for a "Special Soup" for the shabu-shabu (e.g. Sukiyaki Soup, Tomato Soup, Soy Milk Soup, Pork Bone Soup etc.), but we just went for the original soup base.
(4) The best part of our meal was definitely the ice cream. As it was a hot day, we each had a few scoops of Häagen-Dazs ice cream. I went for the Dulce de Leche flavour, which was very sweet but was how I liked it!
The food at the appetiser buffet and the meats at this restaurant were certainly mediocre, but I think the Häagen-Dazs ice cream alone already justified the price of our lunch sets.Other Japanese restaurant reviews on my blog: http://www.stephs852diary.com/?cat=258
