Ban Lai En is a neighborhood Chinese diner with just 10 counter seats, located a few minutes' walk from Oimachi Station, where lines form before opening for its signature shrimp fried rice topped with several large, plump shrimp. Each grain of rice is coated in oil, yielding a texture praised as falling right between fluffy-separated and moist, with savory flavors blooming as you chew, pairing wonderfully with the simple chicken bone soy sauce Chinese broth. The mixed fried rice without shrimp is seasoned boldly with pepper and also enjoys strong popularity. The kitchen run by a parent and child sits right before your eyes, offering the spectacle of large woks tossed as rice leaps into the air. Weathered wallpaper and a wooden counter evoke a retro Showa era ambiance, and with lunch available in the ¥1,000 range, solo diners can drop by with ease. At night, the setting completely shifts into a strictly reservation-only venue serving courses crafted with luxury ingredients, turning into a special space well suited for anniversary celebrations.
