TOP 10 Most Rated restaurants in Isumi

The food is really good and service is great. A bit pricier than other places but courses served are quite mouth watering. The locally sourced pork is roasted to a tender and juicy state while the bacon was actually very good. They have a wide variety of desserts to choose from as well. Overall, it's a great combination of food, drinks, and atmosphere.

:) Nice food, simple interior, friendly staff. :( Close to the sea but no view

Great food, nice style- thanks for the experience!

The amuse-bouche, featuring delicious homemade bread, mushroom soup, and macarons, captivated my palate. The refreshing combination of strawberries and mozzarella cheese was also exquisite. Libros' signature rich, juicy meat and tender texture were exquisite. The meat was perfectly cooked on the outside and moist on the inside, capturing the rich, savory flavors of the meat. For dessert, we finished with a sweet pudding and rich coffee. After savoring the heartfelt cuisine, we enjoyed a walk by the sea, making for a truly blissful experience.

It's a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive from Ohara Station on the JR Sotobo Line. We visited "donner," a French restaurant located in a detached building on a hill in Isumi City, Chiba Prefecture, near Hiari Coast. This popular restaurant, which was also featured on "Ad-machi-tengoku," is renowned for its French course meals and sweets prepared by its chef and pastry chef. The natural interior, exuding the warmth of wood, seats approximately 24 people, including counter and table seating. Soft sunlight streams in through the windows, allowing time to pass leisurely. Lunch courses start from 3,300 yen (tax included; all hereafter prices include tax). On this day, we added homemade Okinawan pork loin ham and mushrooms for an additional 1,000 yen, and Hokkaido Cherry Valley duck confit for an additional 2,000 yen, for a total of 6,990 yen (includes three types of bread). Each dish, such as the amuse-bouche mushroom soup and bamboo charcoal macarons, is carefully prepared and beautifully presented. The main course, duck confit, was especially delicious, with crispy, fragrant skin and tender, fall-off-the-lam meat. However, the portions were generally quite large, and I was almost full after the appetizer. If you have a small appetite, I recommend refraining from adding on to the menu. After the meal, we chose a dessert from the display case (+690 yen). All of the patisserie-style sweets were highly refined, and to be honest, this dessert was the most impressive. It was packed with butterfly pea amber sugar, meringue, ice cream, cake, and fruit. For the drink, I chose the seasonal recommendation (ginger and raspberry/700 yen). It was sweet and sour and refreshing, perfect for drinking during a meal. As a souvenir, I purchased the "Sea and Satoyama Cookie Tin (small)" (2,800 yen). It was filled with sables decorated with motifs such as clouds and forests, and while the taste was simple, the appearance was very cute. The staff were courteous and the explanations of the dishes were easy to understand, leaving a good impression. The course progressed at a leisurely pace, taking about two hours in total. I recommend visiting with plenty of time to spare. This is a restaurant where you can leisurely savor carefully prepared dishes and sweets while taking in the nature of Chiba. I think it's the perfect place for a "special occasion lunch." (Visited in October 2025)

1) Chien has always been my favorite Chinese restaurant around here. So my husband and I go here sometimes. But recently their food has become oilier and the prices have gone up. This review was written as an English assignment by Eigobatake student, Shigeko-san! 2) I heard this restaurant is named after the owner’s wife. They serve Japanese-style Chinese food. Their fried rice has a lot of Braised Pork Belly and my husband likes it a lot. We like the special lunchtime set meal with half portions of ramen and fried rice which comes with good coffee. It’s very reasonable. If you order a regular portion of ramen, coffee is not included. They also have expensive magazines you can read. The landscaping outside the window is very pretty.

It was a very nice place to eat. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable. The fried rice, soup, salad and dessert set were delicious and an appropriate size; it was very filling.

I sometimes pass by this restaurant, but I thought it was a Western restaurant. Even when I went inside, the atmosphere was that of a Western restaurant. It's quite spacious, probably because it has two floors. There were many items on the menu, and I was a little hesitant, but I was intrigued by the firm fried noodles that someone nearby was ordering, so I ordered firm fried noodles and gyoza. When the meal arrived, it was quite large, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish it, but it was light and delicious. It might be a little pricey for everyday use, but it's a restaurant I'd like to visit from time to time.

It's been a while since I last went there, and although it's a little pricey, I was craving some delicious Chinese food... I'm more shocked than disappointed (sobs) Has the chef changed? First of all, they don't serve this kind of plain rice at Rice Place Isumi... Soggy rice 🍚... The daily black vinegar sauce had way too much meat, and the lotus root, which is in season now, was overcooked and not crispy...it was all squishy. My partner's mapo tofu (rice bowl) had a completely different flavor from the delicious mapo tofu I'd had... I'd rather have something amateur make at home... The hot coffee ☕️ after the meal was freshly washed in the dishwasher?! 💦The outside was covered in water droplets...and the cup was only about 60% full. It's been seven years since I moved to Isumi. Even in this rural area, they have delicious mapo tofu and clam ramen! I was so impressed... but... the flavor has gone down... I don't think I'll be back. For a 1,400 yen lunch, there are better places to eat...

I found this restaurant while driving around Ohara and looking for a place to have lunch. There's a parking lot for about five cars on the left of the restaurant. It was mostly full with what appeared to be local customers. Luckily, there was a table available. I ordered the Chien Soba, which seems to be the restaurant's signature dish. I also ordered a set meal. Chien Soba is what's known as beef brisket ramen. It's topped with beef and bok choy in a thick sauce. It stayed piping hot no matter how much I ate. The soup was a little unique, with flavors of ginger and a hint of oyster sauce or XO sauce. It's a flavor I never tire of. The noodles were straight and medium-thin. They could do with being a little firmer. The portion was very filling, and I was almost full just from the noodles. The mini salad that came with the set was quite average, and the shumai had a lot of meat. The almond tofu had a homemade feel and was delicious. I'd like to try other menu items at this restaurant.

When I visited before, the quality of the taste seemed a little low, but when I visited again recently, it felt a little closer to other Kurumaya stores. It's not bad. The taste varies depending on the Kurumaya store, so I enjoy the hits and misses. The customer service was neither good nor bad, just average.

I went for a late lunch around 1:30pm on November 30th. I'm a local. Because of the location, there weren't many people there, so I was able to get a seat right away. There are plenty of restaurants along the national highway, so people looking for local cuisine don't go here. Occasionally I get the urge to go to Kurumaya and go there to eat. Other people have posted that the flavor is bland, but I found it quite strong. If you actually try it and it's to your liking, that's fine 👍

I visited during lunchtime on a weekday. There were 5-6 customers there, including some ahead of me. I wasn't able to eat here while I was in Kansai, so I ordered the 1,000 yen lunch, which consisted of their specialty miso ramen, three gyoza dumplings, and half a bowl of rice, which are only available on weekday lunches. The bowl arrived about 5 minutes after I ordered. It was a nostalgic taste. It was a rich miso ramen with plenty of garlic. The gyoza dumplings were mainly vegetables with a strong garlic flavor. The turnover was high, with customers coming in one after the other. They are no longer open until late at night like before, but now seem to be open until 7pm. Perhaps this is due to work style reform. It was delicious.

I had lunch here on my way back from fishing in Ohara. This was my first visit to Kurumaya Ramen since I was a child. I ordered the miso vegetable ramen (1,050 yen) from the miso ramen at the top of the menu. It was topped with bean sprouts, cabbage, onions, carrots, etc. I didn't order any individual toppings, but looking at the menu, the prices of the toppings seemed quite high overall.

It's so dirty I don't want to give it a star. The staff are sloppy and it smells strongly of cigarettes. It's so dirty I feel like a rat might show up. I'd recommend not going there at all.

Amazing fresh seafood. Signature lobster tempura and soup set was soft and delicious.

The Sashimori Teishoku at the restaurant I went to with a Japanese friend was excellent. I love Japanese sashimi.

Simple & nice place...good quality of food with affordable cost 🙂😄.... Love to visit again

We had the spiny lobster tempura bowl, seafood bowl, and grilled squid liver with butter. The prices were reasonable and the taste was amazing! The spiny lobster tempura bowl also came with miso soup made from the lobster head.

You can eat very fresh fish. The seasoning is delicious. Straight from the fish tank!!

My favorite restaurant in Onjuku

Food is pretty good, but it's always popular, so the awesome tuna might be sold out... It's all Japanese here - the menu and staff.

Very good restaurant. Nice food.

Good jog

I visited on Tuesday, November 4th around 1pm. This time, I ordered the "Omakase Set Meal 1000 yen," which I had been interested in since last time. I'm allergic to mackerel, so I asked for it to be "no mackerel." The set meal included a small selection of various dishes plus fried foods, which is a menu that women would probably like. I'm glad I went, as I tend to stick to a similar menu. On my way out, I spied a peek at the plate of another customer who ordered the "Omakase Set Meal"... and sure enough, the side dishes were different! It was delicious, too. Thank you for the meal. On Wednesday, October 8th, a weekday lunchtime, I was drawn to the sign outside that said "Spiny Lobster Tempura Bowl 1200 yen (limited to 10 servings)," so I visited. There are four seats at the counter, a table, and six tatami-mat tables, so it can accommodate both single and multiple people. Looking at the Google reviews, the impressive spiny lobster tempura bowl stands out, but this time I ordered the 1200 yen tempura bowl. When another customer asked, "What's in the omakase set meal?"... The wait staff didn't know what it was, either. "It seems to be the chef's choice..." That's interesting lol. Next time, I'd like to try the "omakase set meal." The tempura bowl that was brought out was a little on the small side, but it did have a small piece of spiny lobster tempura. Maybe the 2,500 yen tempura bowl is better after all. I'll come again. Thank you for the meal.

Went with the 2 boys while Temple hopping. We had the pizza, the omurice and the tomato pasta. All very tasty. The lunch menu comes with a mini salad, a drink and mini dessert. Highly recommend if in the area

We arrived just as the restaurant opened, so it was nice and quiet. The atmosphere felt rustic, with everything made of wood. As for the food: I’ve had better.

We went there for a company gathering and I was very excited because it will be my first time to eat at the restaurant. I was really disappointed because (1) the pasta sauce was very dry. (2) The beef for the salad is quite thick for its course. (3) And the pork is not that flavorful. The only thing I enjoyed was (1) the basket of bread and (2) the gateau chocolat with a bit of ice cream. I will try to go back and try other menu, but for the price I paid, I’m not satisfied at all.

A wonderful Italian food oasis in the middle of Chiba. While the lunch sets are delicious and budget-friendly, the evening ambiance and menu makes for a wonderful experience. Managed with the motto Quality over Quantity. The menu options are limited, but the offerings they have are made with care and craftsmanship. I put their salmon and spinach pasta up against any Italian restaurant in Tokyo.

Customer service here remains questionable. There weren't't any pleasant greetings upon entering the facility and while taking the order there was a feeling that we were annoying the server. For an Italian restaurant, the choices of food were more japanese based taste. Furthermore, the dishes ordered were extremely salty. Even the salad had way too much salt and the olive oil was scarce on the salad. The tomato sauce tasted more like store bought than homemade. Unless you love very salty food and are not concerned about the poor service, go find another place which cooks more authentic Italian and tasty dishes and the staff will be happy to serve you without an attitude.

So nice! The staff is extremely kind and accomodating. Food was simple, good and very reasonably priced. Recommended!

Affordable pricing with volume. Taste good.

Great place, nice people, great food, great prices..!!!

Opens at 9:30 AM A hearty ginger pork set meal for a touring breakfast. The rice bowl is amazing. My husband, who's a big eater, devoured it with great pleasure. Women might want to order a smaller portion. The cabbage and accompanying bean sprout namul were delicious. Parking is easy, so I recommend it.

I had dinner here after surfing. Restaurants in this area close early, making it difficult to choose a place, but this place is open until 5:30pm, so I was able to visit with peace of mind. The staff were also friendly and it was clear that this was a great restaurant. I had the ginger pork set meal, and personally I would have preferred it if it was a little more seasoned. What impressed me was the amount of rice. Regular people can't eat a large portion, so please order a regular portion. I ordered a regular portion of rice in addition to the large portion, but it was so much that I was more than satisfied. The amount of cabbage in the set meal was also enormous. They provide mayonnaise as condiments on the table whether you eat the ginger pork or the cabbage, which is great. It's a restaurant I'd like to visit again.

This place had great food! I ordered a Ise-ebi Tendon, and it was delicious! The soup that came with it also had the broth of the Ise-ebi, and was phenomenal! The seats are far enough away and they keep the windows open for ventilation. I was told that the Ise-Ebi is more affordable in late summer, so I'll be going back. They also have about 5 parking spaces, but you might want to get there early since there was already a line when the restaurant opened.

Great seafood BBQ shop

I was staying at a resort hotel in Kamogawa and came here for lunch on a weekday in December. I parked in front of the restaurant just before 11:10 and waited for it to open. Parking is also available across the street. Upon entering the restaurant, I requested to grill some ingredients, and was guided to the fish tank where I could choose what I wanted to grill. The spiny lobsters were priced between 5,000 and 6,000 yen, and I chose two lobsters, each weighing approximately 500 grams. I also chose a turban shell for sashimi, about 3,500 yen. I also ordered clams and octopus rice, making for a sumptuous lunch. The miso soup made with the spiny lobster heads was also excellent. The turban shells were crunchy and satisfying. The bill for two people was around 16,000 yen. Since I don't plan on coming here often, and the staff's advice was helpful, I was very satisfied.

This was my first time visiting from Gunma Prefecture. It filled up immediately after opening, so I'm glad I went on a weekday. We enjoyed delicious spiny lobster and seafood grills, and the staff patiently taught us how to grill them and even took care of us until we were ready to eat. Not only the spiny lobster, but the octopus rice, spiny lobster miso soup, sashimi, clams, and simmered alfonsino were all delicious. Thank you for the meal. I was surprised to hear the sound of spiny lobster for the first time.

We had some fresh sashimi! The boiled golden-eyed snapper was also delicious. Even though it was a weekday lunch, the restaurant was packed to capacity.

We visited on a Monday at lunchtime. It was a relief because all seafood restaurants are closed on Mondays! There was plenty of parking space. The seats were pretty much taken up with what appeared to be locals. I wanted to eat fried horse mackerel, but the fried food in the fish set meal was fried horse mackerel, so I ordered that! The set meal, which included sashimi, boiled fish, fried fish, rice, and miso soup, came to about 1,400 yen. It was a great value for money set meal. They also had a wide variety of other items, including fish set meals and fried rice!

I went for lunch with a friend. The reason I went in was that there happened to be a parking space that was big enough for my huge 6m car to park without any problems. A cheerful lady greeted me when I entered the restaurant, and my friend ordered a sashimi set meal, and I ordered a fish set meal. The contents, presentation, and taste were nothing particularly noteworthy, and were quite ordinary. The prices might be a little on the high side?

It was very delicious. I had the ginger pork, and all the food was delicious, but the rice was also really good. I was amazed at how delicious Chiba rice is. The restaurant also had a great atmosphere, and I'd love to visit again. Personally, I was doubly happy that there was a farm produce store nearby ^ - ^

I had some business near Tsurigasaki Beach, and arrived earlier than expected, and came here looking for a place to have lunch. I visited around 12:45 on a weekday. There were quite a few cars parked in the parking lot in front of the restaurant. It must be a popular local restaurant, as customers keep coming in and out. Without hesitation, I ordered the fish set meal. It comes with sashimi, boiled fish, and fried fish, so it's a great deal. I also ordered a beer and had macaroni salad as a snack. The macaroni salad was quite salty, but not too salty. It was more delicious than I expected and went down well with the beer. The rice in the set meal was tasty, and it was a very satisfying meal. I recommend this restaurant.

It was my first time here. I had the fish set meal for 1,430 yen. The sashimi was very fresh. The boiled fish was well seasoned. The fried horse mackerel was fluffy and probably worth more than the price. Other customers ordered tonteki...I wanted to see. This is the kind of restaurant that makes you want to come back!

Yet another lovely restaurant sits at the Ohara fishery. Worthy driving all the way for this!

The best place to eat super fresh lobster and octopus!! Amazing

Good lunch, but it was a little expensive

good
